 (ONCE AGAIN)... WHO SHOT JR?
Larry Hagman's ‘Dallas' character, J.R. Ewing, will be murdered in an upcoming episode of TNT's "Dallas".
Hagman completed five episodes of the upcoming season before his death on Nov. 23, forcing "Dallas" writers to re-tool the series to reflect his passing.
Series executive producer Cynthia Cidre tells TV Guide Magazine:  "We all felt having J.R. die of natural causes would have been completely inappropriate, not only to the character, but also to Larry Hagman."
Back in 1980, the original "Dallas" ended its third season on CBS with one of TV's all-time-great cliffhangers — when J.R. was shot twice, and "Who Shot J.R.?" became a national catchphrase..
J.R. survived the shooting. His attacker was his sister-in-law/mistress, Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby).
PRINCE HARRY OPENED UP ON HIS INFAMOUS LAS VEGAS PHOTOS; ADMITTED HE LET HIS FAMILY DOWN
Prince Harry opened up about his life and described his life as a soldier as one of his three faces.
He said: "There are three me's. One in the army, one sort of socially – my own private time – and then one with the family."
He also talked about the infamous pictures that were taken in a Las Vegas hotel room last August.
Harry said: "I probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down.  But at the end of the day, I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy. The newspapers knew that I was going away to Afghanistan, yet still published the photos.  So the way I was treated by them I don't think is acceptable." 
He was also asked about his brother Prince William and his wife Kate's recent pregnancy news and said: "I think it's very unfair that they were forced to publicize it when they were, but that's just the media for you. If there's a story and something has been written about me I want to know what's being said, but all it does is upset me and anger me that people get away with writing the stuff they do. My father says don't read it because it's always rubbish. My mistrust with the media—it's fairly obvious how far back it goes, it's when I was very small."
He also talked about his love of the army, saying: "Obviously after not going to university, the army presume you to be less intelligent, which is nice of them. It's probably true. Once you are wearing the uniform you are part of the gang. I am the Queen's grandson and all that good stuff and I love representing her, but to be honest with you and as far as I can see it, and as far as William sees it as well, our service towards our country in the military in whatever shape or form it takes will always come first."

 Taylor Swift had lunch on Saturday with cancer-stricken fan Kayla Kincannon. The meeting was arranged after Kincannon’s friends, family, and even strangers organized an online campaign to get her favorite singer’s attention. The 17-year-old from Michigan has been battling brain cancer for more than a year. After the meeting, Kincannon’s dad wrote on their official blog “how awesome” the get-together was.
