Such a sad piece of news we have to share with you all.

The Olympic sailor Andrew Simpson has died, drowning after his America's Cup boat capsized.

He won an Olympic gold medal in sailing in 2008 and a silver at last year's games. This year he absolutely jumped at the chance to win yachting's top prize – the America's Cup.

He drowned when the high-tech catamaran capsized and trapped him under water for more than 10 minutes — and it was only a practice run. Sadly, he has a wife and an infant child.

We offer our condolences, and hope that his friends and family can get through this! Our hearts go out to you all!

We were told to expect some crazy evidence to surface once Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial began, but there's no way we could have prepared ourselves for this!

Emails and court documents have recently been released showing that the late King of Pop was planning on lip synching during his final shows for his This Is It tour!

Apparently he was in such bad shape at the time he was unable to sing and dance at the same time and needed the the help of a vocal track just to get through his performances!

Michael’s family claims this is proof that AEG was perfectly aware of his poor health and mental state, yet they continued to push him through the tour.

Other emails between AEG promoter Randy Phillips and AEG president Tim Leiweke show the two complaining about his horrible condition and how it was affecting rehearsals.

In one message, Randy talks about having to help a dazed Michael get dressed, saying:

An autopsy has yet to be performed on Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly, but it looks like his death was caused by a drug overdose.

She called paramedics yesterday afternoon when she found her son unresponsive, however they were unable to revive him when they arrived.

Donna went on to say that he was living

This is BEYOND deplorable!

In New York, a violent felon named Keith Rogers killed his girlfriend's Dachshund Puppy by throwing the dog out of a window of a six story building on West 129th Street. And a ton of witnesses saw him do it!

Here's what Mr. Rogers said:

“I don’t care about the dog. It’s $1,300. I’ll buy a new one. I don’t give a f–k about the dog.”

Witnesses saw him commit this heinous act, and THEN they saw him come downstairs and throw the bloodied pup across the street before picking it up yet again and throwing it in the trash.

In the Cumberland County region in Kentucky, a five-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his two-year-old sister with a .22-caliber rifle.

The two-year-old was rushed to the hospital, and was then pronounced dead.

The rifle had been a Christmas gift for the boy to apparently use outside in the forest.

Here's what a policeman said:
