Girlfriend of prominent Arizona CEO found dead in his California mansion

REUTERS reports that the 32-year-old girlfriend of a prominent Arizona CEO who died Wednesday was discovered hanging naked from a balcony at his California home with a rope around her neck and her hands and feet bound, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.

Authorities identified the woman as Rebecca Nalepa and said an autopsy was being performed to determine the cause of death. The sheriff's department in Coronado, Calif., said they were not yet ready to call Nalepa's death a crime or a suicide, according to the Union-Tribune.

At the time of her death, Nalepa was dating Jonah Shacknai, the founder, chairman and CEO of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., the manufacturer of the popular cosmetic wrinkle filler Restylane, a competitor of Botox.

Shacknai lives in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Ticker: Ex-Lion Roy Williams suing to get his engagement ring back

Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams just wants his ring back. Not a Super Bowl ring of course (ha!), but his engagement ring.



According to a story from OAOnline.com, the former Lion filed a lawsuit last week asking for the ring he offered to former Miss Texas USA Brooke Daniels. The rock is reportedly valued at $76,000.



Williams apparently mailed the ring to Daniels along with a recorded marriage proposal. He also included $5,000 for school and dental bills and a baseball for her brother. She rejected the proposal and has not returned the ring.



Williams and Daniels dated for nearly a year.



Michael Daniels, Brooke's father and a co-defendant in the lawsuit, has said he has possession of the ring and plans to return it to avoid further legal issues.



An injunction hearing is set for Friday in Odessa, Texas.

Shia LaSmooch! Transformers star puckers up to girlfriend Karolyn Pho

These two are clearly still in the honeymoon phase of the relationship.

Shia LaBeouf couldn't keep his eyes - or lips - off his girlfriend yesterday in Studio City, California.

The Transformers star, 24, put on a very public display of affection with Karolyn Pho as they grabbed lunch and smoothies.

Shia, casual in jeans and a T-shirt, wrapped his arm around stylist Karolyn, 22, as they strolled along before planting a lingering kiss on her as they waited to cross the street.

The actor tore his eyes away from Karolyn, who looked summery in a print maxi dress, long enough to cross the road to Sweet Butter Cafe, where they enjoyed a leisurely lunch.

Shia gazed at his girlfriend as they sat outside at the restaurant, a favourite of theirs that they visit frequently.

The pair went public with their romance in February but have been linked since December, a month after Shia split from his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps co-star Carey Mulligan.

Their lunch at Sweet Butter Cafe clearly didn't fill them up, as the couple then went on to Jamba Juice, where they continued their public canoodling as they waited for their smoothies.

Shia and Carey, who dated for 18 months, announced their split in November and Carey has since moved on with British theatre actor, Eddie Redmayne.
