Russell Armstrong, husband of Taylor Armstrong of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, committed suicide Monday night, the Los Angeles Police Department confirms.

According to online reports, the Los Angeles City Fire Department was called to Russell's home by a roommate, and Russell was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 47 years old.

TaylorArmstongRussellBravo230.jpgTaylor and Russell's tumultuous relationship had been chronicled on Season One of the Bravo show (right, courtesy of Bravo).

She then filed for divorce last month, claiming that Russell had physically abused her. Russell confirmed that he had pushed Taylor during arguments and raised his voice, saying the show had pushed the couple "to the limit."

The couple has a daughter, Kennedy, 5.

Season 2 of the show premieres Sept. 5. Promos have shown a distressed Taylor talking about her marriage.

The couple was also the subject of a recent $1.5 million lawsuit for breach of contract.

 

Adam Levine: I Don't Mind If People Think I'm Gay

adam-levine-230.jpgAdam Levine is embracing his sexuality ... even if fans think he's gay.

The 32-year-old rocker admits to Out magazine:

    "If people didn't think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn't be doing my job very well. I wouldn't be the front man of a band if that question hadn't come up at some point."


Levine says that some of the greatest rockers have had their sexuality questions including Mick Jagger and David Bowie. Although he says there's "no way to hide my straightness," the Voice judge does say he can admit if a guy looks good. Adam adds:

    "I'm extremely comfortable in my sexuality. So I can think, 'Oh, that's a good-looking dude.' Acknowledging that someone's attractive and wanting to [sleep with them] are two different things."


Sounds like a true rockstar!

Superior Court Judge Jessica Silvers ruled Monday that James Rainford must stand trial on felony counts of stalking. He was arrested for loitering outside Paris' Malibu home on July 4.

During his 90-minute hearing, for which Hilton wasn't present, Silvers told Rainford:
    "It's very clear from all these incidents that you are obsessed with Paris Hilton. This is more personal, and it is scary."


The July incident was the second arrest for Rainford this year - he was convicted of battery after hitting Paris' ex Cy Waits outside of a courthouse in April. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and was given an eight month jail sentence, for which he served one month, and three years' probation.

No trial date has been set yet, but his arraignment is scheduled for August 29. He pleaded not guilty to this latest case and remains behind bars.
