Billy Mays’s 'death cocaine-related'
An autopsy performed on US pitchman Billy Hays has shown that cocaine use contributed to his death.
The 50-year-old 'king of infomercials' and co-host of The Discovery Channel's Pitchmen series was found dead in his Tampa, Florida home in June from a heart attack, which is still listed as the principal cause of death.
However, a post mortem performed on Mays showed that he used cocaine a few days prior to his June 28 passing, TV Guide reports.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner has released a statement saying that "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and thereby contributed to his death".
Toxicology reports also showed traces of prescription drugs hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam.
Mays, who was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery on June 29, was best known for selling the cleaning products OxiClean and Orange Glo during his late-night infomercials.
Kirsty Gallacher expecting second child
TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher is expecting her second baby with lover Paul Sampson.
The former Gladiators host, who is engaged to wed Sampson next year, said that she feels incredibly lucky to have fallen pregnant again so easily.
"I can't believe how quickly it happened," the 33-year-old told Hello! "You're always reading about how you have to try at the right time, but [we] were very relaxed and didn't put pressure on ourselves."
Gallacher and the rugby union international, who have been in a relationship for almost a decade, already have 2-year-old Oscar.
The former Saturday Night Takeaway star added that she would love a daughter, but claimed that she will wait until the birth to discover the sex.
Winfrey 'sued for one trillion dollars'
Oprah Winfrey and her production company Harpo Inc have been sued for more than one trillion dollars by a poet after he claimed that she passed off his work as her own.
In a suit filed at the District of Columbia Court on July 31, Damon Lloyd Goffe accuses the talkshow host of copying his book A Tome of Poetry in a work she published on the internet titled Pieces of my Soul.
The writer claimed that Winfrey confessed to "seizing original works of authorship" in 2008. The website no longer exists, but Goffe alleges that he is now owed $1.2 trillion (£0.7 trillion) because the media mogul sold 650 million copies of the piece for $20 (£12) each.
