Dance legend Cyd Charisse dies, 87
The death has taken place of the American dancer and actress Cyd Charisse. She was 87.
The Broadway star's agent, Scott Stander, said she died yesterday morning of a heart attack at a Los Angeles-area hospital.
Charisse was famous for her dance pairings with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and she was best known for her roles in 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Brigadoon'.
Publicist Gene Schwam told Reuters that Charisse had only recently celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary with her second husband, singer Tony Martin.
Charisse was born Tula Ellice Finklea in Amarillo, Texas, and took her stage surname from her first husband, ballet instructor Nico Charisse.
Her childhood nickname was 'Sid', which became 'Cyd' for her professional name.

Arctic Monkeys snub Winehouse at Glasto
London (ANI): She might have given a rocking performance at the Glastonbury festival, but Amy Winehouse was not essential viewing for everyone at the do particularly the Arctic Monkeys. The band ostracized the Back To Black star, and even had a pop at her decision to perform. The band members refused to walk the 80 metres to the Pyramid stage to support Winehouse and drank beer backstage instead. To make it more apparent, the band came to the front to watch Jay-Z within seconds of Amy's set finishing. "Amy is a fantastic talent but she shouldn't be on stage when she's in such a state," the Mirror quoted guitarist Jamie Cook, as saying. "Only a week ago she was seriously ill and now she's performing at gigs. She needs to take a break from performing and sort herself out," he added.

Britney & Kevin in Court This Morning
In what feels like the 10,000th hearing in the Britney Spears and Kevin Federline custody battle, the pop singer is making a rare court appearance this morning in her attempt to regain overnight visitations with her two sons.
According to case insiders, Britney had originally asked for an unscheduled, ex-parte hearing to ask that the court grant her the right to have little Sean Preston and Jayden James, who will turn 3- and 2-years-old respectively in September, spend the night at her home. Instead, the court scheduled today's hearing so Brit and her lawyer could "show cause" as to why she deserves these extended visits.
Brit-Brit, wearing a white, cap-sleeved cotton blouse, four-inch platform wedges, and khaki capri pants, arrived slightly before 8:30am PT, just in time for the hearing to begin. She was joined by her dad, Jamie Spears, her A-list lawyer Blair Berk. Also with the Spears entourage is Andrew Wallet, Jamie's court-appointed co-conservator of Britney's estate.
Stay tuned to OK! as this story develops throughout the day.
