Anton Yelchin has died at the age of 27 in a car accident. Foul play is not suspected, but according to TMZ, friends noticed Yelchin was missing around 1 am after he was late to a rehearsal. Yelchin was found “pinned to his mailbox by his car at the bottom of a steep driveway” at his San Fernando Valley home. Reports say his car was in neutral and the engine was still running.

L.A. Police Department released the following statement:

“On Sunday June 19th at 1:10 in the morning, a fatal traffic collision occurred. It was the result of the victim’s own car rolling backwards down his steep driveway, pinning him against a brick mailbox pillar and security fence. The victim was on his way to meet his friends for rehearsal. And when he didn’t show up, his friends went to his house, where they found him deceased by his car. It appeared he had momentarily exited his car leaving it in the driveway.”

J.J. Abrams, who directed Yelchin in both Star Trek movies, paid tribute to the late actor on Twitter:

“Anton, you were brilliant. You were kind. You were funny as hell, and supremely talented. And you weren’t here nearly long enough. Missing you…”

Taylor Swift reportedly called Calvin Harris from Nashville to dump him shortly after his involvement in a car accident that left with him with minor injuries. (Interestingly, Taylor blasted Joe Jonas back in 2008 for breaking up with her over the phone.) Sources tell TMZ that the 26-year-old singer was vague during her conversation with the 32-year-old DJ and simply told him that she needed space. Apparently, Harris was shocked because he thought Taylor was in it for the long haul.  Meanwhile, an insider tells Us Weekly that Harris was also taken aback when photos emerged of his ex-girlfriend and actor Tom Hiddleston making out just two weeks after their breakup. “That was fast!” the source says. “It was surprising to him but he just wants to move on.”

A New York judge has ruled that Leonardo DiCaprio must testify in a case against The Wolf of Wall Street after a man filed a lawsuit claiming he was defamed in the film. CNN reports that Andrew Greene, a former executive of the stock brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont, is suing Paramount Pictures and other producers, for $25 million. He claims they wrongfully portraying him as a “criminal, a drug user and a degenerate” through the character, Nicky “Rugrat” Kosko. Paramount has insisted that the character is purely fictional. Meanwhile, DiCaprio’s attorneys have argued that the actor shouldn’t be required to give a deposition since he didn’t write the screenplay, direct the film nor portray Nicky. Alas, it looks like he’ll have to use some of his personal time on something other than chasing twentysomething models.

You might want to check your cereal box before pouring a bowl for breakfast this morning. A 17 year old Glasgow teenager discovered a dead, decomposing bat in her Rice Krispies box. Sehr Rafique was pouring out her cereal into a tupperware box when she found the winged creature at the bottom of the box, underneath the inner plastic bag.

Her reaction? She says “I screamed the house down when I saw the bat”

“I am scared of spiders as it is, so this terrified me. I have never seen a bat up close, never mind one which I almost ate.”

The “terrified” teen says “everyone came running down the stairs when they heard me scream. I had never seen anything like it before.”

Rafique’s dad contacted Kellog’s and the company offered vouchers for a new box of cereal. The only problem?

“That bat was definitely dead but it has put me off eating Kellog’s ever again. All our family eat cereal for breakfast, but have been unable to do so after finding the bat. We have loads of boxes in the kitchen cupboard which now won’t ever get eaten.”

When your grandma is Queen Elizabeth II and she is celebrating her 90th birthday, you better be on your best behavior. Unfortunately for Prince William, that wasn’t the case. The 33 year old received a royal lesson when he was seen sitting down, tending to his son George, as the family stands on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The Queen doesn’t like that Prince William is sitting down, and swats him on the shoulder, scolding him to “stand up, William”. Upon standing, it looks like Prince William is trying to explain to his grandma that he was showing his son the airplane in the sky. HAHAHA!!! You go, Grandma!
