Anton Yelchin: Dies at 27 - Pinned By Own Vehicle:



27 year old Anton Yelchin who was best known for his roles in "Star Trek" and "Alpha Dog" was killed early Sunday morning after being trapped between his vehicle and the gate to his home. Yelchin's body was discovered by a group of friends that he was supposed to meet for an evening rehearsal on Saturday night. When he missed the appointment, the friends became concerned and went to his home and made the discovery. It is now known that Yelchin's vehichle (which was a late model Jeep Grand Cherokee) was part of a factory recall which caused these vehicles to "rollaway" even after being placed in park. Yelchin's vehicle never received the fix, that could have saved his life...



BLING RING: New Gang Targeting Celebs


The LAPD believes it has another incarnation of the "Bling Ring" on its hands.

Kevin Hart, Blac Chyna, Scott Disick and Chris Brown have all been hit by robbers lately, and cops say that the crimes look similar. All four -- who do run in some of the same circles -- were hit when they were out of town. And crooks knew exactly where to look for safes containing large sums of cash.

Police don't have any suspects yet.

In 2008 and 2009, a circle of teens and young adults targeted celebs' homes in L.A. and looted more than $3 million worth of stuff before getting caught.


KYLIE JENNER: Selling Starter Home


Kylie Jenner is ready to unload her starter home.

The reality star and model has put her Calabasas crib up for sale after living in it for just one year. The 18-year-old bought it for $2.7 million, but after renovating the 4,800-square-foot home she's asking for almost $4 million. The teen has already upgraded to a $6 million pad in Hidden Hills next to sister Kim and mom Kris.

In other Kardashian real-estate news, Scott Disick is selling his Hidden Hills estate, which he bought only six months ago. He's asking for $8.8 million. He bought it in December for $6 million.


JOHNNY DEPP: "Terrorism Threat" at Alice Premiere


For a minute there, Amber Heard was the least of Johnny Depp's problems. The LAPD investigated a drone operator for terrorism links after he flew his aircraft over the red carpet at the premiere of Alice Through the Looking Glass.

The event actually happened on May 23rd. By law, drone operators need to keep their models at least 500 feet away from crowds at events, and at least 400 feet in the air. But this operator buzzed the crowd at a height of 50 feet, controlling his drone from a nearby parking garage.

The guy was arrested, but something about either him or his misdeed must have made cops uneasy, so he was investigated for terrorist ties, Police seized computers, cellphones, tablets, disks, hard drives, videos and other items.

Or perhaps, it was overkill -- the investigation turned up no connection to terrorism.
