Former child actor Skylar Deleon, who appeared as an extra in hit TV series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, has been accused of brutally murdering a California couple by tying them to an anchor and throwing them overboard a yacht. Deleon, 26, and wife Jennifer, 24, have been ordered to stand trial for the murders of Thomas Hawks and his wife Jackie last November in an alleged plot to steal their 55 foot luxury yacht. The Orange County Superior Court heard, on Wednesday, the pair posed as interested buyers and demanded a test run off Newport Beach where they attacked the elderly pair with a stun gun before handcuffing and blindfolding them. They were then allegedly tied to the boat's 66 pound anchor and ruthlessly thrown overboard where they drowned. Police were alerted to the murder by fellow accomplice Alonso Machain who claims Delona delayed the planned killings by a week after discovering that Hawks, a retired probation officer from Arizona, was a larger man than first expected. Matt Murphy, the Deputy District Attorney, "It is haunting to think these nice, loving people were trying to hold their breaths as they sank to the bottom of the ocean. This is as cold-blooded as it gets." All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

Madonna's friends feared for the superstar's life when she fell off her horse and lost consciousness after landing on ground "as hard as concrete" in her riding accident on Tuesday. The Material Girl, who was celebrating her 47th birthday, was briefly knocked out by the impact and lay motionless as panicking friends rushed to her aid at her estate in rural England. An air ambulance flew Madonna to a nearby hospital, where she was later discharged with confirmed injuries of a broken hand, a broken collar bone and three cracked ribs. Husband and film director Guy Ritchie had organized for pals to bring down four horses to their $16.2 million country estate on the Wiltshire-Devon border, to surprise the singer with a leisurely group ride as part her birthday celebrations. The thoroughbred horse took off faster than Madonna was expecting and she lost her balance and fell onto the solid ground. An insider tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "She lay unconscious on the floor for a few seconds and everyone was afraid. If the horse had landed on top of Madonna or trodden on her, it could have been an awful lost worse. Although she's in excruciating pain, she did get off quite lightly."

Lost star Ian Somerhalder is furious he was slammed as homophobic when he decided his famous gay kiss in The Rules Of Attraction would be his last. The 26-year-old hunk nearly lost a lot of friends as a result of the public reaction to his remark, although he insists his words had been spectacularly misconstrued. He says, "It's not me who can't handle it, it's the audience. Seann William Scott didn't get all of the backlash that I received when he did just the same in American Pie 2. It was completely unjustified - fans and outraged men saying that I was making anti-gay remarks. I wasn't and those very close to me who are gay were visibly upset. I'd never make a disrespectful remark about anyone, especially in public, about one's sexual preference."

Robert Carlyle is desperate for Ewan McGregor and director Danny Boyle to settle their feud, because he would love to star in Trainspotting sequel Porno. Anxious Trainspotting fans have been eagerly anticipating the film version of author Irvine Welsh's hit sequel for years - but ever since McGregor and director Boyle clashed over Leonardo DiCaprio's casting in The Beach, the sequel has been shelved. But Carlyle remains convinced filming would be fun if the two could settle their egotistical differences. He says, "I have to say I've never been approached by anyone about it. I would hope to do it again because we had a great time the last time; some friendships I made on that film have continued to this day, and that's quite rare. The opportunity to work with Danny again would be fantastic."
