Actor Ron Lester dead at 45

Actor Ron Lester, who portrayed Billy Bob in the 1999 football movie "Varsity Blues," died Friday evening in Dallas, Texas, according to his representative Dave Bradley. He was 45.

"He was not in pain and passed away peacefully," Bradley said. Lester's fiancee Jennifer Worland was with Lester when he died.

He died of organ failure - specifically his liver and his kidneys, Bradley said.

Lester openly talked about his struggle with his illness on Twitter, posting in November that his "liver and kidneys are starting to heal." He thanked Worland for her support.

At one point Lester weighed 508 pounds but lost 348 pounds according to his Twitter account. Besides his most memorable role as Billy Bob, he also had TV appearances in "Freaks & Geeks," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "CSI New York."

Rob Kardashian to donate kidney to Lamar Odom

At last, I think we've finally gotten the definition of love and true friendship. Rob Kardashian has finally made up his mind to donate his kidney to Lamar Odom, who is currently having kidney problems. Rob Kardashian is the last child of Robert Kardashian, and brother of model and wife of Kanye West, Kim Kardashian. Following reports that Lamar Odom needs a kidney transplant, Rob Kardashian has decided to go off the edge to help the former NBA star. It should be recalled that Lamar Odom is the husband of Rob's sister, Khloe after having her wedded since 2009. Rob blurted out on his instagram page saying that he is praying nonstop for his brother (Lamar Odom) and granted an interview this week, he stated that he would donate his kidney to Lamar should he recover from his present illness.
