Yvette Vickers, an early Playboy playmate whose credits as a B-movie actress included such cult films as “Attack of the 50-Foot Woman” and “Attack of the Giant Leeches,” was found dead last week at her Benedict Canyon home. Her body appears to have gone undiscovered for months, police said.

Vickers, 82, had not been seen for a long time. A neighbor discovered her body in an upstairs room of her Westwanda Drive home on April 27. Its mummified state suggests she could have been dead for close to a year, police said.

The official cause of death will by determined by the Los Angeles county coroner's office, but police said they saw no sign of foul play.

Vickers had lived in the 1920s-era stone and wood home for decades, and it served as the background for some of her famous modeling pictures. But over time it had become dilapidated, exposed in some places to the elements.

Susan Savage, an actress, went to check on Vickers after noticing old letters and cobwebs in her elderly neighbor's mailbox.

"The letters seemed untouched and were starting to yellow," Savage said. "I just had a bad feeling."

After pushing open a barricaded front gate and scaling a hillside, Savage peered through a broken window with another piece of glass taped over the hole. She decided to enter the house after seeing a shock of blond hair, which turned out to be a wig.

The inside of the home was in disrepair and it was hard to move through the rooms because boxes containing what appeared to be clothes, junk mail and letters formed barriers, Savage said. Eventually, she made her way upstairs and found a room with a small space heater still on.

She was looking at a cordless phone that appeared to have been knocked off its cradle when she first saw the body on the floor, she said. Savage had known Vickers but the remains were unrecognizable, she said.

She remembered her neighbor as an elegant women in a broad straw hat, dressed in white, with flowing blond hair and "a warm smile."

"She kept to herself, had friends and seemed like a very independent spirit," Savage said. "To the end she still got cards and letter from all over the world requesting photos and still wanting to be her friend."

Savage said the neighbors felt terrible.

"We've all been crying about this," she said. "Nobody should be left alone like that."

Barack Obama IS Having The Best Week Ever!

Hey Bush, Where Did You Leave That "Mission Accomplished" Banner?

JUSTICE...OR JUST US?

A 31-year old pimp started grooming a young Honor Student for prostitution at the age of 11. At age 16, she murdered his worthless ass, and was sentenced to life without parole. At the time this video was shot, she was 29. That pimp would've received less than 13 years for killing her, but since he only destroyed her childhood, she's in prison for life. Does anyone else see the disparity here?

I, for one, am sick and tired of it being Open Season on Women and Children! If she had been a boy in a gang and murdered someone else's child (of color), they never would have taken her out of Juvie. Her judge was clearly biased against her in more than just a judicial way.

She admits that she did wrong and definitely deserves to be punished. I agree, but I also believe she has done her time, and society owes something to this tragic soul while she's still young enough to do something useful in her life.

The President Killed at the WH Correspondence Dinner!

Seth Meyers was "capital F" Funny, but President Obama killed! I loved watching Trump having to sit there at the Faux table with his boo-boo face and pretend the POTUS wasn't up there making a mockery of his whole existence.

Meanwhile, The Prez is in for it for making that crack about The First Lady "snatching" bags of candy from children. But here, my favorite blogger Dlisted's Michael K has all the news worth knowing:

Obama Roasts Trump

At last night's White House Correspondents dinner, basic cable reality stars (see: Sarah Palin), actors of The CW (see: Ian Somerhalder) and half-shaven comedic teddy bears (see: Zach Galifnotgoingtogooglerightnow) sprayed their pits with fancy water to nibble on overcooked filet mignon and flambe their creme brulee desserts on the hot flame that shot out of Donald Trump's dehydrated hairy toad asshole when Obama verbally double slapped him in the mouth over and over again. Watching a direct descendant of one of Jaba the Hutt's hemorrhoids sit there with a mad scowl on his face is what would consider as feel good porn. Trump got trumped and I'm sure even the lone sparkle in my rhinestone heart named Melania Trump let out a laugh or two. Melania later told her sugar daddy that she wasn't laughing, she was letting out a Slovenian boo.

As Obama poked at Trump with a LOL stick for that birth certificate ridiculousness, he just sat there with constipated smile on his face and squirmed like Melania whenever he gives her the "it's about that time to fulfill paragraph 5, line 10 of your marriage contract" sex look. I mean, the dumb douche could've let out a fake laugh or two to show that he's sort of a good sport, but he just had himself a pouty party for one instead. I really can't wait to see how the Trump responds. He already used all of his "miserable fat cow"lines on Rosie O'Donnell, so I'm sure he'll just say that Obama tells jokes like a Kenyan.
