Russell Armstrong was laid to rest at the Church of the Hills-Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills yesterday. There’s little to actually report because, thank goodness, Bravo did NOT film the event, but we know all cast members from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were on hand to support Taylor Armstrong. Sources confirm that Russell’s remains will then be sent to Texas for a second service, as Taylor has been clashing with his family. From there, the body will be cremated and the ashes divided between Taylor and her in-laws. It’s still unclear how Bravo will handle the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . In the most recent news related to this tragedy, Entertainment Tonight has discussed photos of Taylor in detail , taken after an alleged beating from her husband.
With Bravo still considering its options for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and with a new rumor spreading that Russell Armstrong recently broke the cheekbones of his wife, at least one aspect of this tragedy has been settled: The late reality star will be cremated and a funeral will be held for him in Los Angeles next week.

Studio says it will no longer screen the Matt-Damon starring drama, which depicts a tsunami, in the quake-ravaged country. By Aly Semigran Hereafter In the wake of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that have ravaged parts of Japan, Clint Eastwood’s afterlife drama “Hereafter” has been pulled from theaters in the country. The film, which stars Matt Damon as a former psychic, features a terrifying scene that depicts the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia. The Associated Press reported on Monday (March 14) that Warner Entertainment Japan Inc. official Satoru Otani said theaters will no longer screen the film, which was initially slated to play until late March. “Hereafter” opened in about 180 theaters in Japan last month. Otani concluded that the tsunami scene in the film was “not appropriate” for moviegoers during this sensitive time. During its run in the U.S., the movie earned roughly $32.7 million at the box office and went on to earn a 2011 Oscar nod for Best Visual Effects. It’s set for a DVD/Blu-ray Stateside release on Tuesday. But “Hereafter” is not the only film being shelved in the days and weeks following the tragedy. Variety reports that director Xiaogang Feng and Japanese-based film company Shochiku have opted to delay the release of “Aftershock.” The film, originally slated to hit theaters nationwide on March 25, is about the Great Tangshan Earthquake of 1976. Shochiku said in a statement, “In view of the devastation caused by the earthquake and out of consideration for the victims and their families … we are delaying the release of ‘Aftershock.’ Additionally, the Anthony Hopkins exorcism-chiller “The Rite” will also be put on hold in Japan. Warner explained in a statement, “We have decided that the content of film is not appropriate given Japan’s current situation.” Moreover, the horror film, which was to arrive in Japanese theaters on March 19, may not have made its release date given the gasoline shortages caused by the natural disasters.

While autopsy results have not been revealed, Starr’s roommate tells TMZ his friend was “mixing” methadone and anxiety medication hours before he died. He had reportedly been using the former in an effort to get sober, while downing the latter to deal stress from his arrest last month.
