Entertainment News — Tragic Endings

Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta, feature film writer, series creator, and television producer was found dead on Tuesday. Sadly, it appears to be from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Mollie Fitzgerald, who appeared in Captain America: The First Avengers, has been accused of a horrific crime: a fatal attack on her own mother.

Empire Lost
Jussie Smollett made lots of headlines over the past year. And it looks like they may have played a part in the decision of the Empire brass not to bring him back for the show’s finale.

Sorry, ladies. NCIS star and That 70’s Show alum Wilmer Valderrama is officially off the market. The actor popped the question to his girlfriend Amanda Pacheco.

Hollywood Going Globe-al
Ellen DeGeneres was deeply touched when she received The Carol Burnett Award at the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Her acceptance speech delivered a perfect blend of humor and heart.

Hollywood Breakups

During their three years together, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds kept details of their romance private from the public. But in the end, their top-secret approach couldn’t save their relationship

Fans were shocked when Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp came out as a couple. But the “perfect” pair ultimately ended up going their separate ways.

It was game, set, perfect match when Andre Agassi and Brooke Shields hooked up as a Hollywood couple. However, things eventually fell apart in a horrible way.
