Actor Lee Thompson Young found dead at age 29 Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES — Lee Thompson Young, who began his acting career as the teenage star of the Disney Channel’s “The Famous Jett Jackson” and was featured in the film “Friday Night Lights” and the series “Rizzoli & Isles,” was found dead Monday, police said. He was 29. There was no official cause of death, but Young’s manager, Paul Baruch, said the actor “tragically took his own life.” Young’s body was found at his North Hollywood home by police Monday morning after he failed to show up for work on TNT’s crime drama “Rizzoli & Isles,” police Officer Sally Madera said. The Los Angeles Fire Department was summoned and pronounced him dead at the scene, she said. Los Angeles police robbery-homicide detectives and the Los Angeles County coroner’s office were investigating because it is a high-profile death, she said. Madera had no details about the cause of death.
In the TNT series, Young played fledgling police Detective Barry Frost, who’s computer savvy but squeamish. Earlier Monday, the channel announced it was renewing the series that stars Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. “We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, gentle, good-hearted, intelligent man. ... Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and offscreen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace,” TNT, studio Warner Bros. and series producer Janet Tamaro said in a joint statement. They sent condolences to his mother and other family members. According to a biography from TNT,
Young was inspired to pursue acting when, at age, 10, he played Martin Luther King Jr. in a play in Young’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina. In 1998, Young began starring in “The Famous Jett Jackson,” playing a TV action hero who returns to his roots for a less high-profile life. The series ran until 2001. Young followed it with roles in TV series, including “The Guardian,” ‘’Scrubs” and “Smallville” and in the films “Akeelah and the Bee” and “The Hills Have Eyes II.” Young joined “Rizzoli & Isles” when it debuted in 2010. “I’m the youngest member of the cast, so I really take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that I find myself surrounded by,” Young said in a 2011 interview with the website Rolling Out. Young, a graduate of University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, was an as an avid photographer, traveler and student of martial arts, according to his biography.

Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — A person familiar with negotiations to bring Jennifer Lopez back as an “American Idol” judge says her return will be announced this week. The person said Monday that a deal is close to being signed with Lopez, who was an “Idol” judge for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The person wasn’t authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person says Lopez decided to rejoin the show because its production schedule will allow her to spend more time with her children, 5-year-old twins Emme and Max. Lopez will join returning judge Keith Urban and a third person who hasn’t been announced. Fox has declined to comment on whether Lopez is joining “American Idol” and did not immediately respond to another request for comment Monday.

A car passed X-Ray equipment owned by Bali’s police department. The sophisticated X-Ray security device donated by Bali provincial government to Bali Police could not be operated on a daily basis but at any time because the Bali Police lacked of operational costs.
Securing security of Bali
Provincial government should help operational budget of X-ray Bali Post
DENPASAR - The sophisticated X-Ray security device donated by Bali provincial government to Bali Police could not be operated on a daily basis but at any time because the Bali Police lacked of operational costs. A number of legislators in the Bali House deplored it because the security of Bali was at stake. On that account, the House hoped the Bali Police to immediately submit the operating budget
proposal to Bali government and the House was ready to struggle for it. “Regarding the shortage of operating cost, we ask the provincial government to assist the Bali
Police. If the X-Ray device is only installed at particular moment will be very risky for the safety of Bali,” said the members of Commission I of the Bali House Cok Budi Suryawan (CBS) and Kadek Nuartana in Denpasar, Monday (Aug 19). CBS said that security of Bali was non-negotiable because the region became the world’s tourist destination and venue of international events, especially ahead of the APEC Sum-
mit next October. Therefore, 2 units of X-ray security device financed by the Bali Regional Budget worth nearly IDR 60 billion should be optimized and permanently installed at the entrances such as Padangbai and Gilimanuk Harbor, not only installed at certain moments like this time. If the Bali Police indeed lacked of the operational cost, this Golkar Party politician then added that the House agreed to the additional budget for
the operation of the X-Ray device from Bali government. “If the XRay device is not used every day, it will be risky for the security of Bali. The security of Bali may collapse when it is not installed. So, do not be half-hearted. When lacking of the operational budget, the provincial government must prepare and we are in the House ready to agree,” said the politician from Gianyar.
