Here's the Scoop....
Dr. Frank Ryan, plastic surgeon to Heidi Montag and other
celebrities, was sending a Twitter message about his border
collie just before his fatal car accident,
his ex-girlfriend says.
"He lived up in Malibu on a tiny street and he was texting
while driving and he accidentally went over the cliff,"
Charmaine Blake says.
Charmaine, a celebrity publicist, says Ryan's family was told
by investigators that the Tweeting caused the wreck on Monday.
The dog, whose name is Jill, Blake's middle name, was in the
car at the time of the crash and survived injuries to the
head, eye and paw.
The California Highway Patrol confirms Ryan was texting
before the crash, but investigators have not officially
determined the cause of the accident.

Samantha Harris Expecting Baby No. 2...
She's usually the one delivering the news but Samantha Harris
has her own big announcement: She's pregnant.
"Being able to hold and cuddle and have a little baby cuddle
against you and fall asleep is such a fleeting moment in
time, and I really can't wait for that again," the
Entertainment Tonight correspondent commented.
This will be the second child for the former Dancing with the
Stars co-host and husband Michael Hess.
The couple welcomed daughter Josselyn Sydney Hess in September
2007.
"I'm most excited to have a second child to play with Josselyn,
to see how Josselyn blossoms as a young girl being able to
teach a sibling all that she knows," says Samantha. "She's so
excited. She tells me every day the different things she's
gonna teach the new baby."

Wyclef Jean Gets Threats over Haitian Candidacy...
He's in not even officially a candidate yet, yet Wyclef Jean's
campaign to become president of Haiti is already proving to be
a struggle.
The hip-hop artist, 40, is currently is hiding in a secret
location in the Caribbean nation after receiving death
threats over his proposed candidacy.
This follows criticism levied at Jean by Sean Penn, who's
been active in Haiti since the devastating earthquake in
January and who has questioned Jean's credentials.
Jean, a former leader of the Fugees, revealed his political
ambitions earlier this month, saying he was running for
president of Haiti to end "the corruption that's been going
on for the past 200 years."
But he still awaits a ruling from Haiti's electoral commission
on whether he can legally run. Candidates must have lived in
Haiti for five straight years before an election, but Jean
says his 2007 appointment as a roving ambassador exempts him
from the residency requirement.

Ice-T cleared over driving arrest...
Rapper/actor Ice-T has triumphed in his legal battle with New
York authorities. He's been cleared over allegations he was
caught driving without insurance last month.
The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star's car was pulled
over by cops on July 20 when he and his wife Coco were spotted
traveling without wearing seat belts.
A subsequent search of police records suggested Ice-T, real
name Tracy Marrow, had previously had his license suspended
while records from the Department of Motor Vehicles claimed
he had been without car insurance since 2008.
He was briefly taken into custody and booked for the minor
motoring offense, before being released.
But Ice-T vowed to fight the accusations by suing the officials
responsible for the allegedly false allegations, insisting he
has not been banned from driving and has kept up-to-date with
his insurance payments.
And he was celebrating on Tuesday after proving he did have
car insurance, prompting prosecutors to drop the charges
against him.

Bullock on James: 'We Have Both Moved On'...
Sandra is offering words of welcome as her ex-husband Jesse
James prepares to move to her adopted hometown in Texas.
"I support Jesse in his move to Austin," Sandra says. "We have
both moved on with our lives and only want the best for each
other. Anything else that is said on my behalf is inaccurate."
For Sandra, moving on includes finalizing her adoption of 8-
month-old son Louis on Aug. 13 surrounded by friends and her
sister Gesine in a New Orleans courtroom. "She is so in love
with her child," says a source.
As for motorcycle CEO Jesse, who recently stepped out in Las
Vegas with LA Ink star Kat Von D, he too is starting to move
on in the wake of the cheating scandal that led to his June
divorce from Sandra.
"I think he's starting to grasp reality a bit more," says a
close source, "and the realization that it's going to take a
lot longer and a lot more than he thought to bring things
back to what they were."

the fact that he cared at all."
