I make no claims to the validity of these rumors. I just stumbled across a couple of interesting sites today and thought I'd share. I had never heard these before so I wonder if anyone here has.

1. On the curb outside Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n' Waffles, just north of Sunset Blvd, where (on Memorial Day evening, Monday, May 28, 2007) actor Cuba Gooding Jr ("Jerry Maguire") was sitting in his car outside the restaurant waiting to pick up dinner for his family, when he heard gunshots. He saw a young man stumbling towards him who had been wounded in the attack. The young man was bleeding from the neck and collapsed. Cuba called for towels to stem the victim's bleeding, and cradeled him until Cuba was able to flag down a passing police car. Then he stayed at the scene until an ambulance arrived.

2. In the 1940s, Ingrid Bergman was one of the most-loved stars in America. All that changed overnight when Bergman, who had a husband and a daughter, got pregnant by the Italian director Roberto Rossellini, for whom she'd gone off to Europe to make a movie with. People felt so personally betrayed that Colorado Senator Edwin C. Johnson took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to denounce Bergman as "a powerful influence for evil." Bergman and Rossellini married in 1950; the marriage, which produced two daughters (including the actress Isabella Rossellini) ended in 1957. In 1956, Bergman won a Best Actress Oscar for Anastasia but tactfully sent Cary Grant to pick it up for her. When she appeared at the Academy Awards as a presenter the next year, the crowd gave her a standing ovation. Still, as late as her 1974 appearance in Murder on the Orient Express, many in the press felt the need to mention the way that the country had turned its back on her, if only to note that the time had come to make amends. In her later years, all was forgiven, and the sense that she had been gravely wronged added a touch of nobility to her glamour.

3. On Thursday, April 12, 2001, Todd Bridges (Different Strokes) and his brother were out at Lake Balboa (in the Valley) when a physically disabled woman (Stella Kline), accidentally got her fishing line wrapped around the joystick of her electric wheelchair. The wheelchair lurched ahead into the lake, overturning and trapping the woman underwater. Todd jumped into the water and saved her from drowning.
4. In 1957, Elizabeth Taylor, already twice-divorced, exchanged vows with the producer Michael Todd, whose death in a plane crash a year later guaranteed he'd forever be cited as the one man with whom she could have been happy. The public was deeply moved by the sight of the beautiful, grieving young widow being comforted by Todd's friend, the popular singer Eddie Fisher. They were less moved by the news that Taylor had permitted Fisher to comfort her all the way to the aisle, a development that required him to divorce his own wife, Debbie Reynolds. General consensus has always held that Taylor was given the Oscar because she'd fallen ill and nearly died, so that everybody felt guilty for shunning her as a homewrecker and a black widow. Taylor permitted her rebound husband to hang around pulling her chair out for her at dinner for five years, until Richard Burton sent a man down to the lobby with a card informing him that his services would no longer be required.

5. May 20, 2000, Matthew Perry ('Chandler' on the TV sitcon "Friends") was driving his green Porsche 911 downhill on this narrow road from his nearby home (on Chelon Way), when he swerved to avoid hitting another car. Instead, he lost control of the vehicle and ended up ramming his car through the front porch of a neighbor's home. The porch was wrecked, and so was Matthew's Porsche, which had to be towed away. A neighbor remarked that he knew Matthew lived in the area, and had seen him drive by - but somehow, I suspect that he never guessed that his famous neighbor would drop by in such a dramatic fashion. Matthew was not under the influence, nobody was hurt, and no police report was filed. (http://www.seeing-stars.com/died/scandals1.shtml)
