David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, died Tuesday in a Florida hospital. The musician and actor was 67.
His publicist JoAnn Geffen confirmed his death, with a statement from his family. “On behalf of the entire Cassidy family, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, our uncle, and our dear brother, David Cassidy.

‘Sabrina’ Reboot Will Not Include Melissa Joan Hart
Melissa Joan Hart says she won’t be a part of the planned reboot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, a TV show she starred in from 1996 to 2003.

Hart is on the promotion trail for The Watcher in the Woods, which she directed and produced. Her ghost-story remake of the classic 1980 TV movie stars Anjelica Huston, Tallulah Evans and Dixie Egerickx.
