We're told the actor died suddenly Saturday due to complications from surgery.

Far rightwing figureheads immediately invented an elaborate and racist conspiracy theory that CNN had lightened a photo of alleged Fort Lauderdale airport shooter Esteban Santiago shortly after the Friday attack. In reality, CNN had yet to air a picture of Santiago, let alone lightened a picture of him. The conspiracy also used a picture of an entirely different man named Esteban Santiago—not the alleged shooter. Still, writers at websites like InfoWars and Gateway Pundit tweeted about CNN’s nonexistent Photoshop job. Former Republican Florida Congressman Allen West, who represented Fort Lauderdale itself, even tweeted about the conspiracy and linked to an...

Carrie Fisher, the actress best known as Star Wars‘ Princess Leia Organa, has died after suffering a heart attack. She was 60. Family spokesman Simon Halls released a statement to PEOPLE on behalf of Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd:

During the last Congress, I led the fight in the House to pass conservative bills that offered real solutions to the challenges we face as a nation. Now we have a Republican Senate to join us in this endeavor. Conservatives have a real opportunity here to affect change in Washington. But in order to do so we must now be united in the fight against Barack Obama and his failed policies. When we met as a conference on November 13th, Republicans nominated John Boehner as their candidate for Speaker of the House. No one ran against him for the position...

The woman at the center of the University of Virginia rape fraud has accused men of raping her in the past, Gotnews.com has learned. A photo obtained by GotNews from the 2011 DC Slut Walk shows Jackie Coakley proudly displaying a sign suggesting yet another rape. This alleged rape occurred before the events in the now retracted Rolling Stone story. Coakley’s story has collapsed with friends and family giving conflicting accounts of her alleged sexual assault. Are we really to believe that a mere 18 months later Coakley didn’t know what to do after she’d been raped a second time?

Appearing on Fox & Friends last week, retired United States Air Force Gen. Thomas McInerney speculated that the missing Malaysian passenger airliner had been intentionally flown to South Asia where it could be used as a delivery vehicle for conventional or nuclear explosives by terrorist actors. On Tuesday, McInerney repeated that claim and said that the recent actions of the Israeli and American governments lent credence to that theory.

KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysian aviation officials said Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 could have flown for several hours despite vanishing from radar, but they said they had received no engine-monitoring data indicating this, saying that the data for suggesting an extended flight didn't exist.

Minutes after being grilled by Congressional Republicans yesterday on the embarrassing failure of the Obamcare program and it's website, Kathleen Sebelius suffered a failure of her own.Due apparently to the stress of being questioned over her role in the government healthcare debacle, Sebelius experienced a rare and catastrophic failure of numerous cosmetic surgeries, primarily face lifts. Even her hair straightener betrayed her. Sebelius, pictured below, now has a face to match her neck. She has been hospitalized at an undisclosed location and is under heavy sedation. A spokesman said she will undergo surgery as soon as possible to attempt a...

Fireball Friday in DC.

Paul Weston is a British politician and leader of the Liberty GB Party in the U.K who dearly loves his country and wants the culture to remain as it has been for a long time. But he sees that changing now and because of his outspoken passion on this, he’s been labeled a ‘racist’ by everyone, he says.

al Qaeda Documentary? Who knows? But it’s not accidental. In fact, Alex Castellanos is reportedly now working for the McCain campaign. Who is Alex Castellanos? There is speculation in the blogosphere that Alex Castellanos is behind this video. Who? This guy: The Republican media consultant Alex Castellanos has been called the father of the modern political attack ad — an appellation he might not offer up himself, though we suspect he’s kinda proud of it. Although Castellanos has served on the GOP media team in every general election since 1988, his most infamous spot ran in the 1990 North Carolina...

Jobs' Apple Hits Back At French Copyright Bill Parmy Olson, 03.22.06, 1:18 PM ET London - French Fried? Delegates to France's Assemblee Nationale voted 286 in favor, 193 against a bill that could drive a wedge between Apple Computer's iTunes and iPod music players in France. Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) said non to the measure quickly and loudly. The proposed law, it said, would result in "state-sponsored piracy." Apple pointed to recent progress in popularizing legal downloads, a trend which could be dashed if iPod users could freely load their mini-jukeboxes with interoperable music files. "Free...

Microsoft Vista: Not 'People Ready' Daniel Lyons, 03.22.06, 11:45 AM ET Steve Ballmer Boston - The new version of Microsoft Windows, called Vista, has slipped again. It was originally going to ship in 2003. Then 2005. Then 2006. Now in early 2007. I'm not surprised, having seen a demo of Microsoft's new programs at an "event" for tech buyers in New York last week. The new programs are phenomenally complex, with scores of buttons and pull-down menus and myriad connections among various applications. A Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) VP zipped through a demo, moving information from...

Having a political conversation with my 19 year old son tonight. Some of his peers have told him that President Bush required the attendees of some function to sign a promise to vote for him.Anybody know what this is about? Any help clarifying or debunking would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just heard on ET, Tom Brokaw will give his last newscast on Dec. 1st or 3rd. This is probably old news, but first I've heard of it. So, for those who hadn't heard. Good riddance.
