Academy Award winner Charlton Heston died last night at the age of 84. He was best known for his roles in Ben-Hur, El Cid, Planet of the Apes & The Ten Commandments.
A family spokesperson said they would not comment on the cause of death at this time. But back in 2002 Heston did reveal he had Alzheimer like symptoms.
In addition to being an actor, Heston was very active in the National Rifle Association & received the Presidential Medal of Honor in 2003.

An article on boston.com is reporting that both Myers and Roach will soon meet with the potential new Powers-Girl soon. Keep reading after the jump to see who it could be....

Marcus Leshock here. I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of this Cougar in Chicago story! I mean, a real Cougar loose on the North Side of Chicago? How does that happen? Was it looking to take in a Cubs game? Maybe it was attracted to the wondrous aroma of Hot Doug's delicious encased meats? Fortunately, the cat was killed by Chicago Police before it did harm to any local residents. But sadly, we'll never be able to ask the Great Beast what it was looking for. After the jump I have compiled some great moments in Cougar history. Enjoy!
