Investigators with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation are investigating the death of a 51-year-old mate as a homicide, officials announced Monday. Incarcerated at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, Longeno Jones, who was mostly recently transferred to the facility from Los Angeles County in 2007, was found unresponsive in his cell on May 21 at around 5:15 p.m., which CDCR officials said in a news release was medication distribution time. Prison staff, according to the release, immediately began life-saving measures on Jones and rushed him to the facility's triage and treatment area where he was pronounced dead by paramedics at 5:45 p.m. Jones' cellmate, 54-year-old Jesse A. Ferdin, was taken from the cell and placed in restrictive housing pending the outcome of the investigation. Authorities did not provide any information about the 51-year-old's likely cause of death, whether he was suffering any visible injuries or if there was evidence that his cellmate was involved in his death. Girl, 17, injured in brutal body slam by police in Southern California Jones had been sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for first-degree burglary as a third striker with enhancements for prior nonviolent prison offenses, as well as prior felony convictions of serious offense, officials said. His cellmate, Ferdin, was transferred to Mule Creek State Prison in Jan. 2019 from Alameda County. He's currently serving a 12-year sentence for rape with force, violence and fear of great bodily injury as a second striker. The prison's Investigative Services Unit and the Amador County District Attorney's Office have assumed the investigation into Jones' death. The Amador County Coroner will determine the 51-year-old's cause of death. Mule Creek State Prison opened in 1987 and houses more than 3,800 minimum, medium and maximum-security inmates.

Ione Skye Claimed She Had An Abortion With Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis When She Was 17 Years Old
Warning: This post includes discusses substance abuse issues. Ione Skye opened up about her past relationship with the frontman of the six-time Grammy Award-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis. Ione is known for her roles in Cameron Crowe's 1989 classic Say Anything... with John Cusack and Wayne's World (1992). In her new book, Say Everything, Ione revealed intimate details of her life, including an "intimidating" story about Gwyneth Paltrow dating her brother, actor and singer Donovan Leitch, in the '90s. In her memoir, Ione also talked about her relationship with RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis when he was 24 and she was only 16 years old. In the memoir, Ione revealed that her romance with the RHCP frontman was complicated by his heroin addiction. Once she became pregnant at 17, she ultimately made the painful decision not to keep the child. In Say Everything, Ione stated she was "the type of girl who'd wanted a baby since I was a baby, who used to fantasize about finding a swaddled infant on my doorstep or catching a flying ghost baby with a butterfly net." "But fantasizing was different from seeing," she wrote, "I couldn't see having a baby at this point." Ione had placed blame on herself for not being more cautious but doesn't regret her decision to have an abortion. "I was taking care of myself now, making a choice that felt good and important for my future," she wrote, according to the publication. "I would not have a baby at 17, with someone who didn't want to be a dad, wouldn't commit to me and had anger issues. Not to mention the heroin." Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic Anthony Kiedis has been open about his struggles with drug addiction in the past, including in his 2004 autobiography Scar Tissue. He says he's been sober since 2000. Ione explained to People that she was nervous about revealing everything in the memoir but felt that taking control of the narrative was important. "These girls on TikTok were saying things like, 'How could my mom let me be with Anthony?'" she said. "And I sort of clapped back, not in an aggressive way, but I was like, 'Well, my mom was really upset that I was with a rockstar like Anthony Kiedis.' And I don't know, I kind of started feeling like I was able to tell my side of the story, and I had a lot to tell." If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, you can call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) and find more resources here.

Ione Sky Revealed The Gwyneth Paltrow Interaction That Left Her Thinking Gwyneth Was "Mean"
Ione Sky is reflecting on a not-so-pleasant interaction with Gwyneth Paltrow. If you're unfamiliar, Ione is a British actor known for movies like Say Anything with John Cusack and Wayne's World. In the '90s, her brother, Donovan Leitch, dated Gwyneth, and in Ione's new book, Say Everything, she reflected on the time she joined the two of them on a trip to Mexico. According to People, Ione places the time after Gwyneth starred in 1994's Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, one of her first acting roles. Ione and her then-husband, Adam Horovitz, went on the trip to escape LA, which had just been rocked by an earthquake. "Vacationing with Dono and his intimidating new girlfriend (yes, that Gwyneth) did not exactly sound relaxing, but anything was more relaxing than living in fear of the next earthquake," Ione wrote. She said it was an enjoyable trip, recalling that Gwyneth spent much of her time reading scripts. Unfortunately, Donovan got sick, and according to Ione, Gwyneth wasn't the most doting towards him. "At breakfast, Dono had distractedly tipped his water glass (he was one of the world's most distracted people). A few drops had splashed Gwyneth, and she'd snapped, 'Idiot.' With a laugh, but still," she said. Ione later asked Donovan, "Is Gwyneth always mean to you like that?" According to her, Donovan laughed it off. "My brother was smitten," she shared. "He was 27 and looking toward the future, to marriage and kids. Gwyneth was only 21 and wasn't ready for anything too serious." "Well, at least not yet," Ione clarified. "Six months later, she'd get a part in Se7en and fly to Reno to meet Brad Pitt — and we all know how that turned out." Yep — Gwyneth and Brad went on to date from 1994 to 1997. They were engaged in 1996, but Gwyneth ended it because she was "not ready" to get married. Today, she's married to TV writer Brad Falchuk and shares two kids, Apple and Moses, with her ex-husband Chris Martin. Meanwhile, Donovan is married to Habit actor Libby Mintz.
