The passing of Martin Short’s wife, Nancy Dolman, was relatively soon as she was just 58-years-old. However, her death was from natural causes, confirmed by the chief coroner.

Los Angeles County Coroner Chief, Craig Harvey, explained, “Nancy Doman was under the care of a private physician for a natural disease,” telling PEOPLE, “There will be no coroner involvement.” Back in 2007, it was reported Dolman had been battling cancer, but a publicist for Short would not comment on her cause of death.

A 911 call was made from Martin Short’s home on Saturday, and his wife had passed away. The couple were married for 30 years and have three children together, Katherine, 26; Oliver, 24; and Henry, 21.

Samantha Ronson’s Got Jokes

Lindsay Lohan has stirred a verbal battle between celebrity comic, Joan Rivers and ex-lesbian lover, Samantha Ronson. The DJ, Ronson, came to LiLo’s defense after Rivers had begun to poke fun at Lindsay after her courtroom shenanigans.

The 77-year-old Rivers tweeted, “Lindsay Lohan said she wouldn’t mind being under oath because she thought Oath was a Norwegian ski instructor.” In regards to Lindsay’s profane manicure, Rivers later tweeted, “Lindsay Lohan is so dumb. Her idea of being sworn in is cursing at the judge.”

Ronson, 32, found it hard to find the humor is Rivers’ tweets and lashed back tweeting, “Hey Joan Rivers- you have collagen older than Lindsay, pick on someone your own age, oh wait, I guess people that old can’t hear.”

After the minor battle of the twitches (Twitter bitches) LiLo thanked Sam retweeting, “@samantharonson thank you :-) I love yams x.”

Dave Chappelle Incites Emergency Landing

Jul 7, 2010 Author: Shan | Filed under: Comedians, Hollywood Gossip

Over the holiday weekend, the peculiar comedian, Dave Chappelle, boarded a private jet from New Jersey to his Ohio residence. Sometime in the middle of the flight, Chappelle began to show signs of sporadic behavior, and the comedian entered the cockpit to ask about the estimated time of arrival and reportedly grabbed the pilot’s arms.

As a result, the pilot had to make an emergency landing in Pittsburgh. According to TMZ, the plane safely landed and Chappelle checked into a local hotel and inquired about renting a car. Dave supposedly wished to drive back to his home in Ohio, but couldn’t exactly remember the location of his residence.

A rep for Chappelle made a statement explaining that Dave had eaten something that he didn’t agree with and he was in need of a restroom. And apparently the restroom on board the plane was “not the kind he needed.” And the weird gets weirder.

WTF?  Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman shared an intimate kiss at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, after the ‘kiss cam’ zoomed in on them.  The two shocked the crowd at game 1 of the NBA Finals between Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.

The couple exchanged saliva for the ‘Kiss Cam’ which  is designed to catch smooching couples…The 72-year-old Hoffman turned away from his wife who was sitting next to him, and got hot and heavy with Bateman instead…the crowd went wild!

Best part…they were so into it, they closed their eyes!  What do you think of their hook up?

Conan Opens Up About Things at NBC

With Conan O’Brien’s recent agreement to become the late night host of TBS, he opens up about the drama at NBC leading up to his departure as Jay Leno took over The Tonight Show. O’Brien came out of the situation a bigger man, not because he’s 6′4″ because he walked away from what he calls a “toxic” situation.

O’Brien will appear on 60 Minutes this Sunday where he speaks earnestly about his recent transition to TBS and how he was mistreated at his old network … and Jay Leno. If you’re not on Team Coco, you will be now. Conan frankly stated, “He [Jay Leno] went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know… I know me, I wouldn’t have done that.” He is so awkwardly serious and admitted, “If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well and then … six months later. But that’s me, you know.” Conan continued, “Everyone’s got their own, you know, way of doing things.”

So what would Conan have done if he were in Leno’s position? “Done something else, go someplace else,” Conan simply replied. “I mean, that’s just me.” When NBC originally asked Conan to move The Tonight Show back to midnight, he felt the network was no longer protecting his best interests. “I think this relationship is going to be toxic and maybe we just need to go our separate ways,” O’Brien recalls. “That’s really how it felt to me … and I started to feel that I’m not sure these people even really want me here … I can’t do it.” NBC (Never Believed in Conan).
