Andre Young Jr., son of Dr. Dre, dies at 20

LOS ANGELES – Dr. Dre's 20-year-old son has died, the rapper's publicist said Tuesday.

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr.," publicist Lori Earl said in a prepared statement.

Mr. Young was found dead Saturday by his mother at their home in suburban Woodland Hills, the county coroner's Lt. John Kades said.

An autopsy was performed Monday, but the cause of death wasn't likely to be determined for eight weeks while toxicology tests are done, Lt. Kades said.

Haley Joel Osment to make Broadway debut

NEW YORK – David Mamet's American Buffalo, a robbery tale set in a Chicago junk shop, has found its third partner in crime – Haley Joel Osment, who will make his Broadway debut in the production.

The 20-year-old Mr. Osment, who was an Academy Award nominee for The Sixth Sense, joins John Leguizamo and Cedric the Entertainer in the revival that opens Nov. 17 at the Belasco Theatre. American Buffalo will be directed by Robert Falls of Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

American Buffalo is one of two Mamet revivals on Broadway this fall. The other is Speed-the-Plow, starring Jeremy Piven, Raul Esparza and Elisabeth Moss. It opens Oct. 23 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
