Drew Carey mourns death of ex-fiancée Amie Harwick - CNN

"The Price Is Right" host tweeted on Monday what appeared to be a holiday image of him and Harwick sitting on a throne next to a Christmas tree with animated polar bears surrounding them.
"I hope you're lucky enough to have someone in your life that loves as much as she did," Carey wrote in the tweet.
Harwick, 38, was found unresponsive and "gravely injured" beneath a third-story balcony at her home early Saturday morning, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD said officers were responding to reports of a "woman screaming" in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood where Harwick lived when they found her.
Police said her injuries were consistent with a fall and she was transported to a local hospital where she died. Officers found possible evidence of a struggle in Harwick's home as well as forced entry, the LAPD said.
Harwick's ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, 41, was arrested Saturday afternoon in connection with the case and is being held on a $2 million bail, according to jail records.
Police said Harwick had recently expressed fear for her safety due to a former boyfriend and had previously filed a restraining order against him.
Harwick was a well-known therapist in West Hollywood, specializing in family and sex counseling. She regularly appeared on podcasts, TV and her YouTube channel to discuss her work.
Carey, 61, was engaged to Harwick in 2018, but the couple broke up less than a year later.
"Amie and I had a love that people are lucky to have once in a lifetime," Carey said in a statement to People magazine. "She was positive force in the world, a tireless and unapologetic champion for women, and passionate about her work as a therapist. I am overcome with grief. I would like to thank you in advance for giving myself and everyone who loved Amie privacy while we try to work through this tragic situation."
Vulture reported that "The Price Is Right" has postponed taping for the week in the wake of Harwick's death.

Ozzy Osbourne cancels 2020 tour dates to seek further medical treatment - Louder

Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled his upcoming North American tour.

The Black Sabbath icon was due to kick off his rescheduled No More Tours 2 trek in Atlanta on May 27. 

But with the vocalist still getting back to full fitness after his fall at home last year which led to the cancellation of his entire 2019 touring schedule, and his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, he’s called off the dates to seek further medical treatment in Europe.

Ozzy says: “I’m so thankful that everyone has been patient because I've had a shit year. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six to eight weeks.

“I don't want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it's just not fair to the fans. I'd rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.”

Ozzy’s UK and European tour with Judas Priest which is due to start in October remains unaffected and will go ahead as planned. 

Last week it emerged that Ozzy was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s back in 2003 during an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

In the piece, Ozzy also said he was “75% back to normal” after his 2019 health woes and added: “It’s been a pretty incredible, interesting career. People have written me off time and time again, but I kept coming back and I’m going to come back from this.

“When? I don’t know. I don’t want to go back out there until I’m ready.”

Ozzy will release his new studio album Ordinary Man on Friday through Epic Records and will hold a "worldwide tattoo event" to celebrate the launch. 

He’s also teased the track Eat Me with a short video clip which can be seen below.

Wendy Williams Under Fire for Appearing to Mock Drew Carey's Ex-Fiancee Amie Harwick's Death - TooFab

There are hot takes and then there are not takes, and Wendy Williams has once again found herself on the receiving end of criticism after appearing to take it way too far while talking about the death of Drew Carey's ex-fiancee, Dr. Amie Harwick.

The well-known sex therapist died after a fall from a balcony allegedly following an attack by her ex-boyfriend. Carey has canceled tapings of "The Price Is Right" as he deals with the emotional fallout of her death. But Williams appeared to make light of it during her show.

First, she made an insensitive comment while describing how Harwick died to her audience, emphasizing that "she was killed. Not by Drew."

She then took it way too far, by many people's standards, by invoking the classic "Price Is Right" phrase "Come on down!" as she first looked up and then down to the floor as if watching something -- or someone -- fall.

This proved even too much for her audience, who gasped audibly when she made her "not by Drew" comment, and met her follow-up joke with groans and dead silence.

As TMZ reported, police were called to Harwick's third-floor home by her roommate, who told them that Harwick's former boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse was assaulting Harwick. She had previously taken out a restraining order against her ex, but it had since expired.

Authorities reportedly found evidence of a struggle and Pursehouse was arrested and booked for murder in connection with Harwick's death. He is being held on $2 million bail.

Carey and Harwick were briefly engaged in 2018 after a year of dating. "Amie and I had a love that people are lucky to have once in a lifetime. She was a positive force in the world, a tireless and unapologetic champion for women, and passionate about her work as a therapist," Drew said in a statement received by TMZ of his ex-fiancee.

He continued, "I am overcome with grief. I would like to thank you in advance for giving myself and everyone who loved Amie privacy while we try to work through this tragic situation."

Fans, though, absolutely lit up social media at what they perceived as incredible insensitivity on the part of Williams, who just a few days ago was apologizing for making disparaging comments about the LGBTQ+ community. You can check out their latest outrage below:

'Love Island' host Caroline Flack warned cops she'd kill herself over 'horror movie' attack - Page Six

Former “Love Island” host Caroline Flack had warned police that she would kill herself if charged in an attack on her boyfriend that was so bloody it was said to be “like a horror movie,” according to reports Monday.

The UK celebrity — who died by suicide in her London home on Saturday — was first arrested in December after boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27, accused her of trying to kill him by smashing a lamp over his head.

Burton had called emergency services “almost begging” for help — and officers found the couple covered in so much blood it was “like a horror movie,” The Times of London said, citing previous court testimony.

Flack — who claimed in her memoir that she was once Prince Harry’s “bit of rough” — was seriously wounded after self-harming during the fight, sources told The Sun. She was treated by medics for 12 hours before she was deemed fit enough to be interviewed by officers, the paper says.

When Flack, 40, was being questioned by the police “she said, ‘I did it’” and threatened “that she will kill herself,” the court was previously told, according to the UK Times.

Prosecutors pressed on with charges even after Burton withdrew his complaint.

Flack, who had openly discussed her mental health issues, was “terrified” that police bodycam footage — showing her in a state of undress, covered in blood and severely distressed — would be shown in court, a source told The Sun.

The star’s talent agency attacked British prosecutors for continuing with the case “when they knew not only how very vulnerable Caroline was but also that the alleged victim did not support the prosecution.”

Prosecutors “should look at themselves today and how they pursued a show trial that was not only without merit but not in the public interest,” said Francis Ridley of Money Talent Management, saying it also “ultimately resulted in significant distress to Caroline.”

A legal source also told The Sun that Flack “should never have been prosecuted.”

“She should have been given urgent mental health treatment and psychiatric care,” the source insisted.

The Crown Prosecution Service sent its “deepest sympathies” to Flack’s family and friends, but did not comment further, according to London’s Evening Standard.

US box office: Parasite gets Oscars boost but Sonic tops chart - BBC News

Parasite received a huge box office boost over the weekend in the wake of its Academy Awards success.

The South Korean satirical thriller won four Oscars earlier this month, becoming the first non-English language film to take best picture.

It jumped to number eight on the US box office chart over the weekend, increasing its ticket sales by 234% to make $5.5m (£4.2m).

Sonic the Hedgehog topped the chart, performing well above expectations.

The adventure comedy took $57m (£44m) on its opening weekend in the US, according to industry analysts Exhibitor Relations, despite pre-release trailers not going down well with critics or the public.

An early trailer for the film, starring Jim Carrey, was poorly received in May, prompting the studio to redesign the title character.

"The consumer always determines what is right and what is wrong. They made their voices clear, and we listened," Paramount's president of domestic distribution Chris Aronson told Variety.

"This movie exceeded [audience's] expectations. That's a testament to that reset and terrific performances by Jim Carrey and the entire cast."

The final product may have won over audiences, but the film still left many critics unimpressed.

The UK box office mirrored that of the US - with Sonic topping the chart with takings of £4.7 million.

Parasite, which only opened in the UK last weekend, increased its UK takings by 133% after its Oscar wins, earning the movie a further £2.5 million.

The film, from the director Bong Joon-ho, is now enjoying the biggest post-Oscar boost for a best picture winner in the past decade.

It has made $8.8m (£6.7m) since the Oscars on 9 February, and $44m (£34m) since release.

Currently it stands as the fourth most successful international film in US history, behind Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Life is Beautiful and Hero.

"It's a great win for Parasite," said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst with Comscore, which measures media data.

"This example can put to rest the notion that streaming and the big screen are adversaries. Parasite is doing well on home video and in movie theatres. Both formats can be successful."

On its opening weekend in the the UK, Parasite made £1.4m in the run-up to the Oscars. Figures for this past weekend are yet to come in.

Best picture winners often profit at the box office from their Oscar triumph.

Last year, Green Book saw a 121% increase in revenue the weekend after its victory, the biggest post-Oscar lift at the time.

The road trip drama with Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen ended its cinema run with $85m (£65m) from venues in the US and $329m (£252m) globally.

Moonlight, The Artist, Slumdog Millionaire and Million Dollar Baby also saw a subsequent increase in ticket sales.

Drew Carey's ex-fiancée Amie Harwick murdered by former boyfriend, cops say - Page Six

Dr. Amie Harwick, a well-known Hollywood sex therapist and former fiancée of comedian Drew Carey, was killed by her ex-boyfriend after a fight at her Los Angeles home, reports said.

Harwick was discovered unresponsive on the ground below a third-story balcony at around 1:16 a.m. Saturday in Hollywood Hills after police were dispatched for reports of a woman screaming, according to CBSLA.

Police said there was “possible evidence of a struggle” and signs of an intruder.

Harwick’s ex-boyfriend, 41-year-old Gareth Pursehouse, was taken into custody and charged with murder, cops said. The pair had recently broken up, according to Deadline.

The report said that detectives “learned that victim had recently expressed fear about a former boyfriend and had previously filed a restraining order” against him.

The restraining order had recently expired.

Harwick, the author of “The New Sex Bible for Women,” was engaged to the “Price is Right” host in 2018. The couple reportedly had an “amicable split.”
