I am very happy for Alejandro and everyone who has made possible the special movie we made together.

"I am so honored and grateful to the Academy for this recognition. It is a wonderful culmination of the ten-year journey with Darren to make this film.

I am so thankful for the support we have received and I share this honor with the entire cast and crew of the film, especially Darren Aronofsky."
--Natalie Portman's statement to Hollyscoop, Best Actress for 'Black Swan'

Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey says an investigation closed Wednesday determined that someone shot 39-year-old Scott M. Ruffalo in the head.
Beverly Hills police arrested, but later released, 26-year-old Shaha Mishaal Adham, who was suspected of the shooting. They have not publicly named any other suspects.
In an email, Adham's lawyer, Ronald Richards, wrote, "The only two eye witnesses to the shooting saw the same thing, a gunshot wound to the left side of the head, while one of them saw him pull the trigger. They saw the gun in his left hand after the shot was fired."
Wow, this is scary. So if the two original suspects didn’t do it, that means someone out there is just praying they don’t get caught. Police have yet to release a motive in the case, or any further details, but we’ll keep you updated on this developing story.

br> No word on why Mark decided to pull out of the film, but we can assume it may have something to do with the tragic death of his brother Scott.
Also, the movie’s theme is very deep, and deals with human relationships.Ben Stiller is in talks to replace Ruffalo in the role. We think this is probably a god call on Mark’s part to put the brakes on his career a little, and we hope he takes all the time he needs to heal.
Scott Ruffalo, 39, passed away earlier this week after suffering a gunshot wound to the back of his head. Shaha Mishaal Adham, who was the main suspect in the Scott Ruffalo shooting was "released and cleared of all wrongdoing." Adham reportedly provided evidence that she did not shoot Scott Ruffalo and that she merely witnessed him playing a game of Russian Roulette.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark and his family.

She was being held because authorities believed she was a person of interest in the case. Attorney Ronald Richards told The Associated Press that he provided evidence proving that Adham did not shoot Scott Ruffalo and that she merely witnessed him playing a game of Russian Roulette.
Meanwhile, Mark Ruffalo has released a statement thanking fans for all their support during this time.
The statement reads, "Mark Ruffalo and his family deeply appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support during this most difficult time of the passing of Scott Ruffalo, beloved son, brother and husband.”
The Ruffalo family has also announced the creation of a fund in honor of Scott.

Police had booked Shaha Mishaal Adham for attempted murder but that is being upped to murder. Brian Burton Scofield, who was named a "person of interest" in the murder was booked for a misdemeanor traffic warrant for past violations, but was released on Tuesday.
"Shaha was always a problem child" while in school at Harvard Westlake, a source told Hollyscoop exclusively. "She never finished school [at Harvard Westlake] because her parents sent her back to Saudi Arabia." Shaha came from a very wealthy Saudi Arabian family, and would often tell people she was a Saudi Princess.
"Shaha was apart of the wealthy Beverly Hills elite," said our source. Her and her sister Sherry, who used to date Brandon Davis, "would hang out with Paris Hilton and Brandon and their crew. They're families all know each other," the source told Hollyscoop exclusively.
What would cause a self described "princess" to shoot and kill someone? There are still so many details that haven't been release by the police, but her motif for the killing is sure to be uncovered soon.
UPDATE: Shaha has since been released and cleared from "any wrong doing." Wow, they went from murder to no wrong doing! Interesting.
