The Oscar-nominated director behind Boyz in the Hood and 2 Fast 2 Furious was driving a Lexus SUV when he struck and killed a jaywalker in Los Angeles. A 57-year-old woman stepped in front of his car in his Jefferson Park neighborhood. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

According to police, Singleton immediately stopped and waited for the cops to show up. “Mr. Singleton stopped and identified himself as required by law,” they said, “and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Singleton was also the producer of Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan and the just-released Illegal Tender.

The lesson here, people???

DON’T JAYWALK!!! And if you’re going to jaywalk, LOOK FIRST!! Be careful out there!

The gold medalist figure skater made an appearance at Cirque du Soleil’s opening night of their new show, Corteo, in LA.

I just think she’s so adorable.

Remember when she was on Project Runway?

Plus I love her name! I think the name Sasha is just so pretty.

It’s funny that her picture should show up today, because some cable channel out here has been playing Showgirls like all day for the past two days, and my roommates and I keep finding ourselves watching it in much the same way you might watch a train wreck.

What were they thinking when they made that movie? Was the director sitting there like, “That’s a wrap! Genius, people! This is going to redefine the genre!” Was Elizabeth Berkley like, “I smell an Oscar for meeeeeeeeee!” Was Gina Gershon like, “I am proud to be a part of a project like this!”

The funniest part is that, when the movie airs on cable TV, rather than blurring out the nudity, they have actually taken to digitally painting on clothing, using technology that must have been developed at some point during the Eisenhower administration. It looks like a child painted a bra on Jessie Spano.

Anyway, the gurus behind Showgirls must have also had a hand in Gina Gershon’s outfit at Cirque du Soleil’s opening night of Corteo in LA. Is this what passes for fashion-forward these days?

The adorable couple is still tearing up Paris, while Tom films in Berlin.

What happened to Katie’s knee?? That looks like it hurts! She wasn’t sporting that cut in yesterday’s pics, so it must be recent.

Kate Walsh is one busy lady.

The newly engaged Walsh was spotted filming Private Practice, her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, with hottie co-star Taye Diggs in Malibu yesterday.

The two-hour “premiere” of Private Practice — during a special two-hour episode of Grey’s — did well for ABC, so it looks like they’re moving full speed ahead with the series.

I wonder if Ellen Pompeo is pissed. Ellen gets her own series, then gets engaged. Now Kate gets engaged and gets her own series.

If anything, Katherine Heigl must be fuming.

Everyone’s saying he might be!!!

But more importantly:

Who is Fidel Castro?? And what happens if he dies???
