S.F. Zoo mauling investigation winding down
The police investigation into the tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo will soon be reclassified as "inactive" after a search failed to turn up evidence that the victims taunted the animal or committed other crimes, authorities said Friday. Sources close to the case said the investigation into the Christmas Day attack could be shelved as soon as next week and will not be reopened unless new information comes to light. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak for the department. A police spokesman, Sgt. Neville Gittens, said that "right now, (the investigation) is still open and active." On Wednesday, police investigators searched the car and the cell phones belonging to the two brothers who survived the attack that killed 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr.
Dempsey talks of new movies, crazy fans
Twenty years ago, Dempsey was one of the hottest young actors in the city with starring roles in the romantic comedies Can't Buy Me Love and Loverboy. During that period, at the age of 21, he married actress Rocky Parker, who was 48, and the mother of his best friend. The marriage ended in 1994 and his career was well and truly on the skids, with roles in forgettable TV movies helping him pay the rent. Things began to turn around when he began dating Fink, who had cut his hair for years, but, despite mutual attraction, they did not act on it because they were in other relationships. "She has a lot to do with my success," Dempsey says. "We've been together for more than 10 years and she was the first person to really believe in me when no-one else did and love me for just being myself.
Bloom's Hit-and-Run Case Wilts
Orlando Bloom won't be parked in court for his motoring mishap. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office announced Friday that the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings star would not face any charges stemming from a smashup earlier this month that left one of his passengers with a fractured neck. D.A. spokeswoman Jane Robison tells E! News that, due to "insufficient evidence," Bloom will avoid a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge for the Oct. 12 incident. According to the D.A.'s charge evaluation worksheet, Bloom was being shadowed by four paparazzo-filled cars and one car full of fans in the early morning hours. The report indicates that two of the camera-wielding pursuers attempted to cut off the black 2003 Toyota Matrix being driven by Bloom, causing him to swerve into a Porsche Cayenne parked on the side of the street.
