"Meerkat Manor" star killed by vehicle
Animal Planet has confirmed that another of the stars of "Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation" was killed in a hit-and-run accident on April 28.
The 6-inch meerkat was crossing a road in the Kalahari Desert when it was struck by a vehicle, said Animal Planet spokeswoman Tahli Kouperstein.
Season 4 of the docusoap (which premieres at 9 p.m. June 6) had already wrapped, so the animal's character will finish the season alive, she said.
The character's death will be acknowledged in the following season. (The name of the dead meerkat can be found easily through some Googling.)
Although bloggers, who had already picked up the news of the recent accident, blamed the death on a researcher on the project, Kouperstein said the driver is unknown.
"In the Kalahari, trucks just keep going. So we don't know whose truck it was," she said.
Each meerkat had been uniquely marked, so they could identify the body, she said.
Tributes to the character are already being posted on YouTube. Fans said they were just getting used to the idea that the animals might die of natural causes but were disheartened that a person was responsible.
Animal Planet said the channel would hold off on its tribute, so as not to spoil the show for those who don't, or don't want to, know.

Michael Jackson says ranch foreclosure averted
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Entertainer Michael Jackson said on Sunday a foreclosure sale on his Neverland Ranch set for this week was averted after a loan on the California property was sold to Colony Capital, a large real estate investment firm.
The loan had been held by Fortress Investment Group, a New York-based private equity and hedge fund group.
The loan was about $23.5 million, according to a source familiar with the matter.
In a press release, Jackson said he was in discussions with Colony and its founder, Tom Barrack Jr, "with regard to the ranch and other matters."
Representatives of Jackson and Colony did not provide additional details. A Fortress representative could not be reached for comment.
The formerly high-flying singer and songwriter saw his career slammed by child molestation charges in 2005. Even though he was acquitted on all counts, he has faced significant financial problems in recent years.

Sir Elton John Offered Highest Ever Gig Offer
Sir Elton John has reportedly been offered a multi-million dollar pay cheque to play an hour-long gig for a female Russian mogul.
The British singer is set to receive £2.6 million to perform at the launch of the tycoon's new hotel in Moscow, Russia, later this year.
If the star accepts the deal, he will set a record for the highest fee ever paid to a single artist.
A source tells The Sun, "Initially Elton turned (it) down because he's so busy. But when the offer crossed the £2 million barrier it was too much to refuse, even for someone of his means. And let's be honest, £2.6 million buys a hell of a lot of flowers.
"He's on the verge of saying yes."
Sir John, 61, pocketed £1.5 million when he performed at a private gig in 2001.

Spike Lee takes a swipe in Cannes
Also lets slip Michael Jordan docu
CANNES -- Spike Lee is in Cannes to promote his Italy-set war film "Miracle at St. Anna," but he couldn't resist taking a few swipes at some fellow directors, including Joel and Ethan Coen and Clint Eastwood.
Speaking about death in his World War II period drama, Lee said that, unlike the Coens, he was respectful in the way he portrayed death.
"I always treat life and death with respect, but most people don't," Lee said at a press briefing. "Look, I love the Coen brothers; we all studied at NYU. But they treat life like a joke. Ha ha ha. A joke. It's like, 'Look how they killed that guy! Look how blood squirts out the side of his head!' I see things different than that."
Speaking about the casting for his tale of four black American soldiers in Tuscany during World War II, Lee said that black actors appear in war films too infrequently.
"Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total and there was not one Negro actor on the screen," Lee told reporters. "If you reporters had any balls you'd ask him why. There's no way I know why he did that -- that was his vision, not mine. But I know it was pointed out to him and that he could have changed it. It's not like he didn't know."
Lee said that his film is in the final stages of post-production and will be complete by the end of July, with an Oct. 10 release date likely -- exactly one year after shooting started. The film's score and about 10 weeks of mixing remain before completion. He said the film is likely to premiere at a festival: either Venice or Toronto.
Lee also told the Hollywood Reporter he is starting work on an as-yet-unnamed documentary about basketball great Michael Jordan, set for release in early 2009. Lee and Jordan starred in a series of award-winning ad spots for sporting goods company Nike in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Kirsten Dunst - Dunst I Fought Depression In Rehab Not Drink Or Drugs
Actress KIRSTEN DUNST has blasted reports she checked into rehab to tackle substance abuse issues, explaining she was depressed.
In her first interview since entering a Utah treatment centre last year (07), the Spider-Man star insists she spent six months trying to conquer the blues but eventually realised she needed help.
She tells E! News, "I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression. It was a good six months before I decided to go away.
"I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it.
"My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge."
Dunst admits speculation about her health and personal problems haven't helped her in her battle: "Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.
"There's been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life... (That's) very painful for my friends and family.
"Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumours, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I'm feeling stronger, I'm prepared to say something."

Spears' manager is ordered to stay away
Britney Spears' self-styled manager Sam Lutfi has been served with a restraining order, which instructs him to stay at least 250 yards away from the star.
Courts documents say that Lutfi is also barred from communicating with Spears.
Reuters reports that lawyers for the singer's father, Jamie Spears, who has been granted temporary control of his daughter's business and personal affairs, filed court documents saying Lutfi was served with the order at his home on Thursday morning.
In court papers requesting the restraining order three weeks ago, Spears' mother Lynne claimed that Lutfi had drugged her daughter, cut her home phone line and was attempting to control her life.
Lynne Spears said that Lutfi told her and a friend that he gave Britney Spears pills ground up in her food to keep her quiet and at one point he told Britney she had to take 10 pills a day if she wanted to see her two young children.
Spears recently had her visitation rights for her two young sons stripped by a court after refusing to return them to their father Kevin Federline, who currently has custody of the children.
