The executive director of the film academy said Tuesday that Farrah Fawcett wasn't included in the Academy Awards' In Memoriam segment because the actress was better known as a TV star.
It was a difficult decision for the committee that assembles the segment to omit Fawcett, said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences executive director Bruce Davis, who added that he's not surprised some fans and family members are upset.
Fawcett's family issued a statement through a public

Tim Urban tripped up his second shot at "American Idol" fame.
The shaggy-haired 20-year-old singer, who served as a last-minute replacement for 25-year-old shoe salesman Chris Golightly in the top 24 semifinalists, was derided by the Fox singing contest's judges for his screechy rendition of OneRepublic's "Apologize" during Wednesday's episode featuring performances from the top 12 male semifinalists.
"We absolutely made the right decision the first time around by not putting yo

France's national library has bought the memoirs of celebrated Venetian lover Giacomo Casanova, which were initially thought to have perished at the end of World War Two.
The 3,700 fading yellow pages of Casanova's "Histoire de ma Vie" (Story of my Life) were discovered packed in a dozen boxes which had been transferred to a safe just days before the allied bombing of Germany in 1945.
"During the Second World War Leipzig was bombed, but the boxes were discovered in the basement

Tina Fey will probably reprise her famous impression of Sarah Palin when she hosts "Saturday Night Live" in April, the comedian told The Associated Press.
"It's inevitable that we'll try it, at least," Fey said in an interview Tuesday. "We'll see if it makes it to air."
Officials at the NBC sketch show wouldn't comment; "SNL" generally doesn't discuss any planned sketches, given that much can change even in the hours before show time.
Fey's performances as the former Alas

Members of Russia's Bolshoi Ballet danced in Cuba for the first time in 30 years on Saturday in a joint performance with the Cuban National Ballet at Havana's Karl Marx theater.
The show coincided with a visit to Cuba by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as the two Cold War allies strengthen ties that frayed after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
To the applause of an appreciative audience in dance-crazy Cuba, six Bolshoi dancers performed some of the famous company's

A day after his apparent suicide, the fashion world is confronted by a familiar question: Can his company thrive without his inspiration?
Many brands have succeeded: When Gianni Versace was gunned down in Miami Beach, his sister Donatella took over.
