‘Growing Pains’ Star Once Ran for His Life
Rihanna’s ‘Rude Boy’ boosts Rated R in slow sales week. By Gil Kaufman Sade’s Soldier of Love Photo: Epic Sade ‘s fans have clearly missed her. Soldier of Love, her first album since 2000, hangs onto the #1 spot for a second week on the Billboard 200 charts. That’s despite a drop to 190,000 copies sold, 62 percent less than its debut week, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. Even with that drop-off, Sade was able to hold off former #1 Lady Antebellum , whose Need You Now slipped 31 percent in week four to 144,000, pushing the country group over the 1 million mark in just one month. The rest of the top 10 are the Black Eyed Peas ‘ The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) (#3, 65,000), Lady Gaga ‘s Fame (#4, 63,000), Lil Wayne ‘s Rebirth (#5, 58,000), Susan Boyle ‘s I Dreamed a Dream (#6, 51,000), Alicia Keys ‘ The Element of Freedom (#7, 39,000), Jaheim ‘s Another Round (#8, 36,000), Josh Turner ‘s Haywire (#9, 33,000) and Taylor Swift ‘s Fearless (#10, 32,000). Rihanna ‘s latest single, “Rude Boy,” appears to have boosted her prospects, as Rated R jumps 17 slots to #18 on sales of 25,000, and its total sales nearly reach 664,000. Meanwhile, former boyfriend Chris Brown ‘s Graffiti continues to struggle, stalling out at #117 on sales of just over 5,000, with less than 300,000 in sales to date. The only debut in the top 40 came from Winter Olympics opening ceremony crooner k.d. lang , whose compilation Recollection bows at #36 on sales of 15,000. Nick Jonas & the Administration ‘s Who I Am continues its freefall, dropping more than 20 spots to #51, as sales were halved to 12,000. That’s not as steep as the cliff that the Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live in Las Vegas album drove off of, plummeting 49 spots in week two to #66 (9,000), as 75 percent of sales dried up. Things aren’t likely to pick up much next week: The only major chart debuts will be from late country icon Johnny Cash and punkers Alkaline Trio . Related Artists Sade Lady Antebellum

Former ‘Growing Pains’ co-star was last seen February 14. By Josh Wigler Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB Andrew Koenig has been missing for 11 days , and now the “Growing Pains” actor’s parents are reaching out to the public for help in finding their son. Walter Koenig and Judy Levitt Koenig appeared on “The Today Show” Wednesday (February 24) morning, marking their first network television interview since Andrew disappeared on February 14. “It’s very, very tough,” said Walter, best known for playing Pavel Chekov on the original “Star Trek” television series, about his son’s disappearance. “He was very depressed about his life.” “He is very much loved and beloved in this world,” Judy added. “I just hope he gets that feeling.” Andrew was last seen on February 14 by his friend Jenny Magenta, who revealed on “Today” that she hasn’t seen him since going to sleep that evening. “That night I went to bed, and in the morning he was gone,” she said, adding that Koenig left her a note in the morning. “But it just [said], ‘Thank you, from Andrew.’ Nothing [else].” Since his disappearance, Andrew’s friends, family and former colleagues have voiced their concern and support in a multitude of ways including prepared statements and informal pleas on Twitter. While his whereabouts remain unknown, law enforcement officials say that they’re starting to receive some leads. “We’ve had tips that he was seen at an Olympics venue last night, so the tips are coming in,” Constable Tim Fanning of Vancouver revealed to “Today,” adding that so far, “nothing has been solid.” With so much time having passed since Andrew’s disappearance, some are starting to fear the worst. “I don’t want to think that way,” said Walter when asked if he’s contemplated the possibility that his son has died. “I’m trying very hard not to think that way.” For now, the Koenig family is holding on to as much hope as they reasonably can, with Andrew’s sister Danielle offering her own thoughts on the situation directly and lovingly: “He’s just a loving, sweet man, and we just want him back.”

Missing actor told friends he planned to move back to Vancouver to ‘start over,’ pal tells TMZ. By Gil Kaufman Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB While Canadian police continue their search for missing actor Andrew Koenig , a longtime friend told TMZ on Tuesday (February 23) that the former “Growing Pains” co-star emptied out his apartment in Venice, California, because he was looking for a fresh start in Vancouver. Pal Lance Miccio visited Koenig’s California apartment on Monday night and said the flat was cleaned out and that the actor told friends two weeks ago he planned to move back to Vancouver to “start over.” Koenig, who was last seen February 14 and is said to be suffering from depression, chose the site of this year’s winter Olympics because he lived there nearly 20 years ago and considered it his “place for solace.” According to a report from RadarOnline.com, police have tracked electronic information, such as usage of his ATM card and phone, leading them to believe that the 41-year-old Koenig is in the Vancouver area . Constable Tim Fanning told the site that this indicates “Andrew is just lying low in Vancouver.” Koenig, best known for his role as Richard “Boner” Stabone on the hit series “Growing Pains,” reportedly disappeared after visiting friends on February 14. But this week, multiple reported sightings of Koenig have Vancouver police feeling “hopeful that he is still alive.” Police say they’ve gotten a number of tips reporting sightings of Koenig in the Vancouver area. The actor’s family — including his father, “Star Trek” alum Walter Koenig — told People magazine that they were concerned when he did not arrive in California on February 16, as he had previously scheduled to meet friends upon arrival. “Andrew was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance,” a statement from the family read. Fellow “Growing Pains” star Kirk Cameron recently released a statement pleading for Koenig to contact him. “I am praying for his family during this time of distress and for his safe return,” he said. “Andrew, if you’re reading this, please call me.” While Vancouver police conduct an investigation, Andrew Koenig’s Hollywood peers have begun spreading the news of his disappearance via social-networking sites. Alyssa Milano, Kevin Smith, Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Silverman have all sent out updates from their Twitter accounts about the developing situation.
