NEW YORK (Reuters) - Photojournalist Dith Pran, whose harrowing survival of genocide in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge was dramatized in the film "The Killing Fields," died on Sunday at the age of 65.
He died of pancreatic cancer at a New Brunswick, New Jersey, hospital, The New York Times said on its Web site.
Dith, who used his fame to draw attention to his country's plight, spent the last weeks of his life in the hospital surrounded by family and friends. Among them was Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg, who worked with him for The Times during the Cambodian civil war and recalled him as a dogged journalist who was "always doing good deeds for people in the Buddhist tradition."

The most immediate and glaring problem with "Run, Fat Boy, Run" is that it's lacking a "fat boy."
It might be very American to think so, but Simon Pegg, the British comedian of "Hot Fuzz" and "Shaun of the Dead," is not portly by any means, but merely — as he asserts himself in the film — "unfit."
A sense of mismatched talent pervades "Run, Fat Boy, Run," a comedy starring Pegg, directed by David Schwimmer ("Friends") and co-written by Michael Ian Black (MTV's "The State," the film "Wet Hot American Summer").\
All three have been better. "Run, Fat Boy, Run" contains neither the madcap absurdity of Black, the easy farce of Pegg or Schwimmer's knack for tender humor. Instead of coalescing, they're each running their own race.

Actor Craig Cove landed his first theatrical agent Mary Grady during the twilight of her career. Mary had a long list of successful clients during her many years as an agent. Mary acted as an agent and manager guiding Craig along to help the then “green” actor to get his “chops” down, and learn the business. Craig has said that Mary Grady has a heart of gold and did a lot for him. Mary decided to retire and sell her agency MGA, after suffering the loss of her daughter actress Lani O’Grady.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The animated version of the bestselling Dr. Seuss book "Horton Hears a Who," took the top spot at cinemas across North America in its opening weekend, provisional industry figures showed Sunday.
The tale of an elephant who hears a cry from a speck of dust and pledges to help what he assumes must be a tiny form of life grossed 45.1 million dollars this weekend, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.
Starring the voice of Jim Carrey, this latest hit from Fox's Blue Sky Studios -- the people behind "Ice Age" -- knocked special effects-laden "10,000 BC" into the second spot.

Actor Billy Mumy known for the role of Will Robinson in the TV series
Lost in Space was a Hamilton high school class mate of future actor
Craig Cove. They had lots of conversations about music which is another
one of Billy’s passions. Craig had family that worked at “the film studios”
so “show business” people were not unusual to him. Some students would stare a lot at Billy or call him Will Robinson. Billy and Craig would laugh and joke about it sometimes. Occasionally, Angela Cartwright who played Penny on the series would pick up Billy after school in her new white Pontiac Trans Am. Angela would park away from people behind campus to avoid attention. Billy wanted to be treated like a normal everyday kid. Now
and then Billy can be found at McCabes Music in Santa Monica.
