An update on the deaths of Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa. Arakawa died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a virus often found in rodents, and Hackman died around a week later due to "hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributory factor," NBC News reports.

David Johansen died at the weekend at the age of 75, meaning all founding members of The New York Dolls are now gone. The band never had a top 100 hit, but @RollingStone's critic Robert Christgau says they still changed the world. Here's his story of the band, from the first gig he attended in 1972 to the 2005 album, "Some Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This."

RTL Boulevard · Michelle Trachtenberg niet in in memoriam-segment bij OscarsMichelle Trachtenberg was tijdens de Oscaruitreiking in de nacht van zondag op maandag een van de bekendste namen die niet te zien was in het in memoriam-blokje waarin overleden sterren werden herdacht.

Why didn't Michelle Trachtenberg make it into the In Memoriam section? @vanityfair's Anthony Breznican explains it thus:

"There's always an outcry over the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars. Fans always find someone who was left out, and this year the outcry is over Michelle Trachtenberg, star of Harriet the Spy (1996), Ice Princess (2005) and EuroTrip (2004), among other films.

"The producers of the Oscar telecast don't compile the list of people who are recognized. That job is done by a committee, in part to spare the producers from being lobbied by the representatives, families and fans of Hollywood figures who have passed.

"The In Memoriam portion of the show also typically has a cut-off that's roughly a month before the awards ceremony. Exceptions tend to be made when a major star, like Gene Hackman, dies in the interim.

"This committee will likely consider Trachtenberg for next year, although anyone's inclusion is never guaranteed."
