Scott Kalvert, 'Basketball Diaries' director, dead at age 49

"The Basketball Diaries" director Scott Kalvert has been found dead at age 49.

Kalvert was found at his home and pronounced dead on the scene in Woodland Hills on Wednesday at 1:55 p.m. His death is currently being investigated as a suspected suicide. Kalvert was a well-respected music video director, who worked with artists such as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch ("Good Vibrations"), DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith ("Parents Just Don't Understand"), LL Cool J ("I'm That Type of Guy"), Salt 'N Pepa ("Shoop") and Cyndi Lauper ("I Drove All Night"). After working with Mark Wahlberg on the "Good Vibrations" shoot, Kalvert took a risk and cast the hip-hop star as a hot-headed hoops player alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1995 drama, "The Basketball Diaries." Kalvert went on to direct the 2002 Stephen Dorff crime movie "Deuces Wild." Kalvert most recently served as an executive producer on Nick Cannon's 2009 film "School Gyrls," in which Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy appeared as themselves.

Chef Jacquelyn Sowards The Taste Season 2 All The Way

Imagine my surprise seeing Chef Jacquelyn Sowards of Southern California on the second season of The Taste, and ABC cooking show with Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Marcus Samuelson as judges. Chef Jacquelyn is on Nigella Lawson's team. Chef Jacquelyn is one of the most sought after chefs in Los Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly Hills to cater that special event. I needed to plan a private dinner event for 50 guests and I had heard of Chef Jacquelyn and wanted to try her out. After speaking with her (She's very friendly), I booked Jacquelyn and I'm so glad that I did! All the guests at the dinner party were raving about the food and service and how perfect the whole night was. The main thing everyone kept taling about was how great the food was! I would highly recommend booking Jacquelyn and her crew because they do an impeccable job and you won't be sorry! Please tune in to The Taste on ABC! Chef Jacquelyn all the way.
