Andrew Koenig Reported Missing

February 21, 2010


Actor Andrew Koenig, who starred on Growing Pains back in the day, has been reported missing, the Vancouver Police say. He has not been seen in a week.

Koenig, who played Mike Seaver’s (Kirk Cameron) pal Boner, was supposed to be on a flight back to the United States on February 16, but did not check in.

He was reportedly last seen a week ago. His parents have described their son as “suffering from depression” and “not doing good” in the last few weeks.

Judy and Walter Koenig (who played Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek series) say they last heard from Andrew February 9. They also say his cell phone is off.

We’re hoping for the safe return of Andrew Koenig.

The last time his phone received a text was February 16 in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was last seen at a bakery in the Stanley Park area of Vancouver.

Lance Miccio, who worked with him on several projects, reached out to him earlier this month. Koening passed, saying he was “not going to work anymore.”

Right around that time, Miccio says Andrew Koenig (who he also said was depressed) dropped off a bag of Miccio’s stuff. Miccio hasn’t spoken to him since.

The family is asking that anyone with information immediately contact Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver Police Department at 604-717-2534.

Scotty Lago Leaves Vancouver Olympics After Racy Photo Controversy


Snowboarder Scotty Lago bolted the Winter Olympics after a racy photo surfaced of him inviting girls to kiss his bronze medal. While it hung around his waist.

The third-place finisher in the men’s halfpipe snowboarding event voluntarily left after the risque photos of a woman kissing and biting his … medal surfaced.

The 22-year-old free spirit was snapped with his bronze medal around his waist and the hardware hung over his groin area on a public street late Thursday.

Pretty rad display all around. A second shot showed a woman biting the medal, but this time Scotty Lago held it up by the logo on his Team USA T-shirt.

Hey, a dude’s gotta celebrate.

KISS OFF: Snowboarder Scotty Lago is in hot water with the U.S. Olympic Committee and Snowboard Association after inviting the ladies to kiss deez bronze medalz.

In response to the controversy, Lago apologized to the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, which required its athletes to attend a special program prior to the games to avoid potential PR nightmares.

That was time well spent! Association President and CEO Bill Marolt said:

“Scotty Lago is a great athlete, but with that talent comes a responsibility of proper conduct, and his involvement in this situation is not acceptable.”

“With that said, Scotty realizes that his conduct was inappropriate. He has formally apologized and also made a decision to leave Vancouver today.”

Reports say his “voluntary” departure was prompted by an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: say you’re sorry and go or we kick you out.

No further action against the Seabrook, N.H. native appears likely. In other Olympics news, how about those Lindsey Vonn photos?! Hot damn!

Happy Birthday, Ashley Greene!


What a difference a year makes.

On February 21, 2009, we did not wish Ashley Greene a happy birthday. In fact, we had not even written a single article about the actress at that point.

But now we’re excited send best wishes to the Twilight Saga star on her 22nd birthday and we encourage readers to do the same.

Over the last few months, Greene has exploded onto the celebrity gossip scene, mostly due to her role as Alice Cullen in Twilight and New Moon; but a series of naked photos didn’t hurt her fame, either.

She may be fully clothed in the montage below, but these pictures are still worth a look or two dozen…

Billy Corgan Addresses Jessica Simpson Relationship


Billy Corgan has commented on his relationship with Jessica Simpson for the first time … and it appears as if that relationship is mostly, if not entirely musical.

“She asked me to help her out on the theme song for her new show [VH1's The Price of Beauty],” the Smashing Pumpkins frontman told the Chicago Tribune.

“She goes around the world to show how different people perceive beauty. In some cultures, bigger is better. In some, smaller is better. It’s very interesting.”

Corgan says that he ended up writing part of the theme song, which he describes as having “a little bit of an alternative rock edge, but it’s still very pop-y.”

The odd couple had fans scratching their heads last December after they were first spotted together in New York City. Rumors of a romance soon heated up.

From what we’ve read and heard, there were feelings from both sides, although the extent to which Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson were romantic is unclear.

And as far as celebrity gossip reports are concerned, he could not care less. “The stuff I’ve seen doesn’t have any bearing to the reality that I’m in,” he says.

“It’s like living a cartoon. It has nothing to do with what’s really going on.”

A bit coy, but definitely honest. Which is about what you would expect.

Jessica Simpson aside, what’s left for a ’90s rock god to do in his career?

“I just signed a deal to write my memoir,” he said. “Next year. It’s a memoir about life from a spiritual perspective – not from a media or celeb perspective.”

Tyler Grady vs. John Park: Semifinalist Showdown!


Popular, early opinion so far states that a woman will win American Idol.

But we can think of two singers that hope to prove that consensus wrong: Tyler Grady and John Park.

The former stood out during his initial audition in Boston because he performed with casts on both wrists, the result of a fall from a tree. He also impressed with his retro look and rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”

Park, meanwhile, hasn’t received a lot of air time just yet. He’s a student at Northwestern University received unanimous approval for Hollywood after his audition in Chicago.

Look closely at the two men below. One of them might be the next American Idol…
