"AMERICAN IDOL" - LACEY OUT

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lacey Brown isn't getting a second chance on "American Idol." She has this week's low-vote total. The judges could have used their once-per-season save, but didn't. Brown says she's going to stay with singing and may take suggestions to go more in a country direction. Paige Miles and Tim Urban were also in this week's bottom-three. Urban looked shocked when he got the good news he'll be staying around for another week.

COREY HAIM - ARREST IN DRUG RING

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An arrest has been made in the investigation of an illegal prescription-drug ring linked to Corey Haim. The Canadian Press reports the California attorney general's office confirms the arrest but says it cannot provide any other details. Last Friday, Attorney General Jerry Brown announced the investigation into the ring after an unauthorized prescription was found under Haim's name. The coroner is waiting for results of toxicology tests before determining why Haim died a week ago Wednesday.

MARIE OSMOND - POSTPONES LAS VEGAS SHOW

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- It was too soon after her son's suicide for Marie Osmond to get back to work. So, she and her brother Donny are canceling this week's shows at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel. Marie Osmond's publicist says it's been a difficult time for the Osmonds, and Marie Osmond wants to spend more with her family. Donny and Marie returned to the stage March 9, soon after funeral services for Michael Bryan. Police in Los Angeles have said Bryan, who was 18, died February 26 of an apparent suicide after jumping from the eighth floor of an apartment building. The Osmonds will miss five shows before the Donny and Marie show starts up again Tuesday, March 23. The show is dark Sundays and Mondays.

CONAN O'BRIEN - HOW DOES HE FEEL TODAY?

UNDATED (AP) -- You have to wonder how Conan O'Brien's head and stomach are feeling today. Yesterday, via Twitter, he showed his "traditional St. Patrick's Day feast: 7 Guinness, frozen asparagus soup and 2 pieces of spearmint gum." The photo reveals something else about O'Brien. There's a white stripe beneath his right thumbnail. O'Brien explains he "injured the nail bed years ago and it never healed." To that he says: "Now you know my shame."

"REPO MEN" - JUDE LAW

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jude Law wants you to be grossed out by his movie "Repo Men." The movie takes place at a time where organ transplants can be repossessed if the patient doesn't keep up with the payments. It can get pretty gory when body parts are cut off. Law hopes people will have to close their eyes during the bloody scenes. He says it worries him to see young people watch violent movies and "it doesn't do anything to them." He says he hopes this one is "shocking." Repo Men opens tomorrow.

"CITY ISLAND" - ANDY GARCIA

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's getting to be routine for Andy Garcia to be acting with his daughter Dominik. "City Island" is their third movie together. Garcia says when they're on the set, he doesn't see himself as her dad, he treats her like a fellow actor. The dad part did come out at one point, though. Garcia couldn't handle the scenes where she plays a stripper, so he made sure he wasn't on set that day. City Island opens in some cities tomorrow.

"THE PACIFIC" - JAMES BADGE DALE

NEW YORK (AP) -- Tom Hanks showed up the first day on the set of "The Pacific." But, James Badge Dale had other things to do. He would have liked to have heard the speech Hanks was giving to the crew and actors, but Badge Dale says he said to himself, "I've got to set up this tent." The actors were already learning how to play Marines. Badge Dale says "if you've ever seen 25 actors try to set up a tent, it is the most ridiculous, horrible thing." He says it took about three hours. The second episode of "The Pacific" airs Sunday on HBO.
