This is really sad, because I really think Heath is tremendously talented and seemed to be fairly focused and sensitive. He also has an adorable baby daughter, whose name escapes me at the moment. I saw him in Knight's Tale and I was completely charmed. What a tragic waste of true talent! What do you think, fellow myLotters? I seem to remember hearing that the newsreader said he was found in a New York hotel room, but details are sketchy. Any thoughts?

Barron Hilton, chairman of the foundation, intends “to contribute 97 percent of his entire net worth, estimated today at $2.3 billion, including the created trusts, at whatever value it is at the time of his passing,” the foundation said. Paris Hilton was not immediately available for comment on her grandfather’s plans for his fortune. Jerry Oppenheimer, who profiled the Hilton family in his 2006 book “House of Hilton,” has said Barron Hilton is embarrassed by the behavior of his socialite granddaughter Paris and believes it has sullied the family name. Barron Hilton, who is 80, has not commented on Oppenheimer’s remarks. The foundation supports projects that provide clean water in Africa, education for blind children, and housing for the mentally ill. Its aims, based on Conrad Hilton’s will, are “to relieve the suffering, the distressed and the destitute.”< The whole article may be read here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22400418/ But I am almost not surprised at this turn of events....while it may very well be that Paris Hilton has sullied the family name, I have to say that I'm glad the fortune will go to help good causes, I'm sure the family will contest the will, and I wonder if he will give some heirs their inheritances early. Are you surprised by this? Do you htink that her lifestyle and embarrassing the family has contributed to this decision?

In New York hotel luxury pizza is available. It’s cost is 1000$. I have read in news papers about it. I wonder what is so special about that pizza. I would never spend even 10$ on a pizza.
