Teen actress Scout Taylor-Compton, known to TV viewers
for her recurring roles on Gilmore Girls and Charmed,
has gone missing from her California home.

I've never seen these shows, but the girl is very cute.

Her family and police confirmed that the 16-year-old,
whose credits also include a starring role in the 2004
teen comedy Sleepover and a bit part in in the 2004
Jennifer Garner comedy 13 Going on 30, had not been
seen at her home in Apple Valley, about an hour
northeast of Los Angeles, since Aug. 12.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have a kid lost
like this, or one that was in War.

Samsung’s SCH-B250 actually shows HD TV, coupled with a 2
megapixel camera, 128 Mb of memory and an Office and
PDF document viewer, with a clamshell flip screen that
swivels to give you widescreen moble viewing.

I want a cellphone with IMAX!

Universal studios are aiming for a summer 2007 release
of a movie based on "Halo" and "Halo 2," a science
fiction series about an alien-fighting warrior.

This is so exciting!

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told MTV.com that the
upcoming movie Spy Hunter, based on the hit video
game, will be made, despite the long development
period. "Spy Hunter is going great," Johnson told the
site. "We've got Stuart Beattie, who's writing it
right now, who wrote Collateral, as well as Pirates of
the Caribbean, so he's a great writer. He's got a
great take on it."

I just watched, "Pirates of the Caribbean," last night.

Confusion as to whether The Rock or actor Karl Urban
of the Lord of the Rings trilogy fame would be the
film's main star still remains. Urban's character,
John Grimm, is the leader of a special-operations
group that includes Johnson's character, listed only
as "Sarge."

This too is so exciting!

Taking much of its inspiration from the PC game Doom
3, the film will take place in a paramilitary research
facility on Mars, where things go awry and hell is
literally raised. Some theories say that the Rock is
actually Satan in disguise, which would tie in to the
film and game's devilish setting.

This could really ROCK!

A custodian was arrested in Miami for making
methamphetamine inside the First Baptist Church where
he worked, police said. Richard J. Mosley, 30, has
been charged with felony manufacturing methamphetamine
within 1,000 feet of a youth center.

This Meth was Blessed!

A woman with a parakeet on her shoulder and a man
walked into Trustworthy Hardware and walked out with
nearly $400.

The store's owners, said the woman, who kissed the
bird during the robbery, pretended to be interested in
buying a cookie jar.

She was grabbed by the arm and pulled into a back room
where she saw that one of her employees had been hit
and was on the floor.

The suspects, and the bird, left the store and were
still being sought.

Ohio man was drunk when he tried to run down two law
enforcement officers while driving a 10-ton bulldozer.

William Armstrong, 52, refused to stop as his
Caterpillar excavator rumbled toward a sheriff's
deputy and Thompson Township police chief who had
parked in his path. Armstrong's blood-alcohol level
was .244 percent, more than three times the legal
limit of 0.08, according to sheriff's tests.

Armstrong was jailed after pleading innocent to two
felony counts of assault on a law enforcement officer.
His bulldozer was confiscated by the sheriff's office.
