20 Year Anniversary of the Autumn of Change - The Berlin Wall Crumbles

During a revolutionary wave sweeping across the Eastern Bloc, the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, parts of the wall were chipped away by a euphoric public and by souvenir hunters; industrial equipment was later used to remove almost all of the rest. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990.

On November 9, 2009, Berlin will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a "Festival of Freedom", during which over 1,000 foam domino tiles over 8 feet tall will be stacked along the former route of the wall in the city center and toppled.

It's hard to believe that it is the 20 year anniversary of the Berlin Wall being taken down! Where were you on November 09, 1989?

Randy Quaid: From Respected Actor to Suspected Felon

Randy Quaid's friends still think well of him. "He's a really nice guy and insanely funny," Allan Evangelista tells PEOPLE after working with the actor on his most recent film, 'Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story.'

"Everyone was just trying not to laugh when he would improvise. He's really down to earth ... just a cool guy to work with," Evangelista added.

And the 'Brokeback Mountain' star's lawyer defends him and his wife, Evi.

"They were never on the run from the law. They have a history of 20 years of staying at [the San Ysidro Ranch], and they have a history of always paying ... There's a lot of misinformation out there about this. It's much ado about nothing," Rod Ponton says of their legal troubles.

The pair missed four court appearances, leading to a warrant for their arrest. However, they recently posted bond. Ponton also explains that the bill for the hotel has been paid.

Not everyone is happy with them, though.

In September when Evi resisted arrest regarding the hotel incident, she taped a sign up that said "Davis takes payment$," referring to the police officer James Davis, who tried to take her into custody. Davis has since sued her for defamation.

Yet Evi's estranged father jumps to her defense.

"These are nice people. Evi is very flamboyant and really into that Hollywood scene. She has a real artistic flair. Randy is a great guy," George Motolanez describes to PEOPLE.

Many credit the couple's downward spiral with a rift with the Actors' Equity Association, when complaints were filed against Randy, leading him to be ousted.

"After that, [Evi] flipped," private investigator Becky Altringer says. "That's when she started saying everyone was against them, and now she's saying I'm against them."

Furthermore, several actors filed restraining orders against Randy's wife, adding to their troubles.

Despite everything, Ponton insists this will end well for his clients.

"It's just a minor deal that's going to probably get worked out. They're both nice, reputable people. They're artists, they're a little different, but they're not criminals."

Demi Moore Blames Age for Lack of Roles

As Demi Moore embraces her new growing image as "mrskutcher" on Twitter, she admits her film career has been stifled all because of her age.

"The frustrating part is that the type of roles I'd be interested in are not really coming to me. I hate to say it's a function of my age [47]-but yes, I think in some ways it is. The majority of [female] roles are geared between 25 and 35," she says in the December issue of W Magazine.

On how Twitter is transforming her image: "People are much more interested in what I have to say directly, and that really changed the whole dynamic I have with fans...I can't impress enough the difference in how people are perceiving me. They're getting to see who I am."

On being labeled a "cougar" for her relationship with 31-year-old actor Ashton Kutcher: "I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl. I don't know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, 'There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?...I'd prefer to be called a Puma."

Ashton's positive influence on her life: "The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible."

How motherhood changed her life: "One of the things that hit me very strongly was the realization that what we do is not who we are. I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value."

Sister-in-law claims Taconic driver Diane Schuler smoked pot everyday

The sister-in-law of Taconic Parkway wrong-way driver Diane Schuler has told police Schuler smoked pot every day, according to a lawyer for victims of the crash.

The admission runs contrary to high-profile reports by Diane's husband, Daniel Schuler, who has said his wife didn't drink or use drugs.

Police have said Diane was high and drunk on July 26 when she drove her minivan the wrong way on the Taconic and crashed in Westchester County, killing herself, her 2-year-old daughter, her three nieces and three men from Yonkers.

The new evidence was revealed during a meeting on Friday with police and representatives from the district attorney's office to go over evidence, including security footage of the children eating breakfast at a McDonald's and Diane Schuler pumping gas, according to Irving Anolik, lawyer for the families of victims Michael and Guy Bastardi.

Anolik said Joan Schuler, sister of Daniel, "told them that she knew for a fact that the deceased, Diane Schuler, used marijuana daily because of the fact that she didn't believe in doctors and that this was the best medicine in the world, as far as she was concerned."

Anolik said he was "annoyed" and his clients were "outraged" at prior reports by Daniel Schuler and his attorney that Diane Schuler was clean of drugs and alcohol.

State police, Daniel Schuler and his attorney Dominic Barbara couldn't be reached for comment Friday night.

Witnesses Saw Wrong-Way Driver Get Ill

Witnesses saw Diane Schuler pull to the side of the road and get sick before she drove the wrong way down a New York freeway July 26 and caused a deadly car crash, according to police reports obtained by the New York Post.

Schuler first pulled over her minivan at 11:45 a.m. on the day of the crash, the police reports say. Witnesses "noticed an adult female outside of the vehicle with brown hair, wearing blue, knee-length shorts, bent over with her hands on her knees, as if throwing up," the records say.

She was seen stopping again a short time later just north of a rest stop, the Post reported. At 1:35 p.m., she crashed her vehicle into an SUV carrying three men on the Taconic State Parkway, killing them as well as herself, her 2-year-old daughter and her three young nieces.

Autopsy results released in August showed Schuler was driving drunk and had smoked marijuana before the crash.
Late last week, The Associated Press reported that Schuler's relatives told police she used pot as a way of coping with stress.
Schuler's husband told police she "smoked marijuana once in a while to relieve the stress of work and the kids," a police report said.

Schuler's sister-in-law told police she "didn't believe in medicine and used marijuana to relax," usually smoking after her children went to bed, according to the report.

Relatives of the crash victims got the report Friday during a meeting with police and prosecutors, then made it available to reporters.
