 Easter Tree: Most people have Christmas trees. Volker Kraft has an easter one that is decorated with over 10,000 brightly colored eggs.

Houston We Had A Problem: The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office released their report on Whitney Houston yesterday.

Putts: ESPN claims Tiger Woods' half-brother is suffering from multiple sclerosis and is in danger of losing his house. Kevin Woods was diagnosed with the disease in 2009 and has been unable to work. Earl Woods Jr. says, "I leave messages. I leave updates on Kevin, but for whatever reason I don't get a response. ... Kevin loves Tiger. A call from Tiger would really pump Kevin up. When he doesn't call, it just makes him feel worse. We haven't asked Tiger for a dime. Not even tickets to a tournament. But Kevin's losing his home. He needs a caregiver and he can't have a caregiver and keep his home at the same time. And we can't do that; we don't have the means. I'd like to [slap] Tiger, wake him up. Maybe when you see the world like he does, you don't see what other people are going through. But, seriously? You've got problems with your knee? That's nothing compared to what Kevin is going through. Nothing." The Woods siblings have not heard from Tiger since 2006 when their father died.

American Pie star Seann William Scott was worried his fiance was going to dump him because he always plays clueless, vulgar characters. He says, "She had seen American Pie but when we first started dating she hadn't seen the other movies, but then while we were shooting (the latest) American Pie (film) she just thought she'd start watching some of the films I had done and I thought, 'Oh, no!' She was like, 'I saw American Pie 2 and I'm like, 'I get peed on in that movie... What did you think?' She was like, 'It looked like you had a lot of fun.' Then the next weekend she saw American Wedding, where I eat dog poo... but she stayed with me. That's how I knew she was a trooper."

  

Now magazine claims Miley Cyrus and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence are feuding. A source says, "It started when Miley tried to give Jen advice about handling fame.

So Miley got the shock of her life when Jen told her to mind her own business."

He’s doing everything he can.”

 

Ryan Gosling is being hailed as a hero for saving a woman from being hit by a NYC taxi. Writer Laurie Penny Tweeted, "I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally.

I would also like to thank the several other, more anonymous New Yorkers who have saved me from cars since my stay here."

Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson urged James Cameron to make some changes to Titanic for its 3D release. James says, "Neil deGrasse Tyson sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year, in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose (Kate Winslet) is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen. And with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in.

Lenny Kravitz can't date his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence because she's friends with his daughter, Zoe. He says, "I knew Jennifer from Zoe when they were doing X-Men: First Class in London. I live in Paris so they would take the train, and my house became the flop house for the cast. That's when I met Jennifer and immediately I fell in love with her. She's amazing, she's super-funny at all times - she keeps you cracking up. So it was interesting when I found out who was playing Katniss."

Elton John says his son, Zachary, cheers him up. "He's been the greatest joy that I could ever imagine. If I'm blue, if I'm down, I just get my iPad out and look at photographs of him and a smile comes across my face. If I'm not with him I cuddle my pillow and pretend it's him. I thought I experienced love when I'd been with David for 18 years, and that's incredible love, but David will say the same thing - there's no love until you have a child."
