 Edson Chen apologizes for leaked sex photos. 
Hong Kong actor and singer Edson Chen, whose career fell apart after sexually explicit photos of him and several actresses appeared online, was in court this week testifying in the case of a computer technician who had illegally posted those photos. Chen, who was one of the most famous celebrities in Hong Kong before the scandal erupted and forced him into self-imposed exile in his birth country of Canada, took the opportunity to express regret for shooting the photos. This prompted Cecilia Cheung, the actress who co-starred with Chen in many of the images, to angrily lash out at her former lover in a televised interview on Hong Kong’s iCable, where she said yesterday, “He has never apologized to us personally. He should at least have called us to say sorry if he genuinely admitted his mistake. The photos are still circulating online. How can we live a healthy and happy life? How can we put ourselves back on our feet?”
While it’s easy to understand couples that aren’t famous taking nude photos, both Chen and Cheung were already public figures when they shot the x-rated pix. Which begs the question what were they thinking? We suspect Chen thought that, as a man, no real harm could come to him if the photos ever leaked. It didn’t do Colin Farrell any harm, right? And perhaps that would have been sound reasoning in another country, but in ultraconservative Hong Kong, the damage was considerable. As for Cheung, she just should have known better. It isn’t as if, with her distinctive tattoos, she could deny being the person in the photos. Frankly, we think the shots are spectacular—actually, most of them are way too spectacular to post, so the most we can do is share a couple. But let's  just say that nothing is more pulp than illicit smut, and from that perspective these two more than delivered the goods. We’d show you more images, but alas, we aren't a smut site, so you’ll just have to use your imagination—or, perhaps, certain internet search engines. Just remember to go into your preferences panel first and turn off the anti-porn filter.

Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov dies in Soyuz 1 when, during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere after more than ten successful orbits, the capsule's main parachute fails to deploy properly, and the backup chute becomes entangled in the first. The capsule's descent is slowed, but it still hits the ground at about 90 mph, at which point it bursts into flames. Komarov is the first human to die during a space mission. 1986—Otto Preminger Dies
Austro–Hungarian film director Otto Preminger, who directed such eternal classics as Laura, Anatomy of a Murder, Carmen Jones, The Man with the Golden Arm, and Stalag 17, and for his efforts earned a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, dies in New York City, aged 80, from cancer and Alzheimer's disease. 1998—James Earl Ray Dies
The convicted assassin of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., petty criminal James Earl Ray, dies in prison of hepatitis aged 70, protesting his innocence as he had for decades.
