Whoopi Goldberg has accepted Oscar's apology.

When her 'The View' co-hosts had pointed out on Monday's episode that she was left out of the montage shown in the 80th Academy Awards, the 52-year-old actress became emotional and teary-eyed for the omission.

Actor Brad Renfro has been found dead aged just 25. 'The Client' star, who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, was discovered at a Los Angeles apartment yesterday morning after spending the night with friends.

Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles country coroner, said: "Drug overdose is a possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night. He was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring."

Actor Brad Renfro has pleaded guilty to attempted possession of heroin in a case stemming from a December arrest.

Renfro was arrested during a highly organized sting in Los Angeles' Skid Row area.

Actor Brad Renfro stood up in a Los Angeles courtroom and pleaded guilty to attempted drug possession.

In his first court appearance last month, he initially pleaded not guilty to attempted possession of heroin.
