There’s possibly good news to report in the disappearance of Andrew Koenig…..
Police in Vancouver have renewed hope of finding former Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig alive following a series of reported sightings of the missing former teen star.
Reports of sightings of the missing actor have been flooding Vancouver police stations by the dozens since news of Koenig’s disappearance hit the press on Sunday. According to TMZ.com, Vancouver Police have received numerous reports of Koenig sightings near Canada’s Vancouver Island and also reports of seeing the actor – who has been reported missing since Valentine’s Day – on islands closer to the city.
Koenig played Boner, the best friend of Mike Seaver on the hit ’80s sitcom Growing Pains.
Andrew, who is now a podcast producer, was scheduled to fly back to the States after completing some work in Canada last week, but he never made his flight home. Although, he has no history of drug use, friends and Andrew’s famous father — Star Trek’s Walter Koenig — are considered that the actor had been battling depression.
On Monday, Vancouver Police Constable Tim Fanning revealed that Koenig’s ATM card and cell phone were used after February 14, the date the actor was last seen. Fanning did not disclose when the items were used because the search for Koenig is still an ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information on Koenig’s whereabouts is asked to call the Vancouver Police at 604-717-2534.

While Brooke Mueller was utterly wasted on Christmas Eve, when she was allegedly attacked by Charlie Sheen, the actor was also far from sober.
For someone that’s battled substance abuse for years, this development is weighing on the sitcom star, a friend tells People.
“He let himself down by drinking,” the source said, adding that “[Charlie] has two little boys and he does not want to get divorced again.”
The latest indications are that Mueller feels the same way. Her lawyer says Brooke wants to save her marriage and move on from this well-publicized, terrible incident.
But what about the fact that Sheen reportedly went after his wife with a weapon? His friend offers the following, questionable defense:
“Did he have a knife with him? Yes. It’s a pocketknife that his dad gave him 22 years ago, which he always carries. It’s not like he got a kitchen knife and went after her.”
Hear that, police?!? It’s not a crime if the knife you use against your partner is a family heirloom that’s always on your person, right?

In late June, Stephen Moyer referred to Robert Pattinson as a pussy, earning the wrath of Twlight Saga followers everywhere.
Granted, the True Blood star was mostly kidding – but, come on, he should know better than to mess with such a rabid fan base.
On Sunday night, following the 2009 Emmy Awards, Moyer acknowledged that Twilight was “great” and told E! News:
“I think they serve a certain audience and we serve a certain demographic, so we can all exist happily together.”
Of course, anyone that watches True Blood knows what Moyer meant when he also called Pattinson the “Diet Coke” vampires earlier this summer.
That HBO series features buckets of blood and gore each episode, along with numerous orgies and nudity. Twilight, conversely, focused on shimmering skin.
But that may soon change. There’s talk that Eclipse will be quite hot and very heavy, with fans buzzing over “hot Robsten sex” rumors. That’s true both on screen and off screen, of course.
Who would you prefer to take a bite out of you?

Just one lone item today, about two actor brothers who are are in a secret, nasty career feud.
1) “These two brothers are both successful actors. However, one has always had more success than the other, as well as the financial rewards that come with that. While they act chummy when you catch them together in front of the cameras, behind the scenes, resentment has been boiling. When one brother found out the other was auditioning for a role he really wanted himself, he arranged a fake emergency so the brother wouldn’t be able to make it to the audition on time, and showed up in his place.” [BlindGossip]
