Terry Richardson Photographs Vinny Guadagnino & Ronnie Magro

On Wednesday we got to see a portrait of Paul Pauly D Delvecchio as photographed by Terry Richardson and on Thursday we saw a portrait of Mike The Situation Sorrentino as photographed by Terry Richardson. Today we get to see photos of Richardson with the other two guys on MTV’s Jersey Shore who have no nicknames and, therefore, are not worthy of their own solo portraits … apparently. Here are photos of Richardson posing with Vinny Guadagnino and Ronnie Magro:

Personally, I would’ve focused on Vinny’s infamous eyebrows (which look like they were drawn on his face with a Sharpie marker) rather than his shaved armpit and Ronnie’s thick neck (or mebbe a close-up of the bottom of Sammi Sweetheart Giancola‘s shoe?) … I mean, what else are these two jokers known for? After the jump, check out a couple photos of Terry Richardson posing with all of the Jersey Shore guys, none of which are wearing shirts. I mean … you had to know it was coming, right? Check ‘em out after the jump …

The search for the missing actor comes to a tragic end
Andrew Koenig Passes Away At 41

Very, very sad news to pass along today … after almost 2 weeks of searching for former child star Andrew Koenig, who played Richard Boner Stabone on the 80′s sitcom Growing Pains, it was reported yesterday that Koenig‘s body was found in Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia — the city where he was last seen alive. This story is especially tragic because there was much hope that Koenig would be found alive as there were many sightings claiming he was still alive … the realization that he has died is a very sobering one. Andrew, it is being reported, died by his own hand … as if the whole matter needed any more tragedy. He was only 41 years old:

The body of missing actor Andrew Koenig was found at noon Thursday by friends and family in Stanley Park. A group of Koenig’s friends spent the morning scouring the park for any sign of Andrew. Just before noon a group of friends along with Koenig’s father Walter found Koenig’s body just off the park’s popular Bridle Path. “Our son took his own life,” a shaken Walter Koenig told a press conference Thursday. Police are not disclosing any details about the cause or time of death. Koenig, 41, played the character Richard (Boner) Stabone in the 1980s TV series Growing Pains. The actor, who has a long history of depression, was visiting Vancouver and was last seen by friends on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. His father, Walter, who played the character Chekhov on the original Star Trek series, had appealed to the public to help find his son. An earlier search of Stanley Park, a favourite place of Andrew’s since he lived here for about three years in the early ’90s, had failed to find any trace of him. Koenig lived in Vancouver from about 1989 to 1992 after he finished his work on Growing Pains. Koenig was last seen on Feb. 14 at a bakery near Stanley Park. He arrived in the city on Feb. 10 to visit friends and was scheduled to return to his Venice, Calif. home on Feb. 16, but never boarded the return flight. Vancouver police were notified of his disappearance on Feb. 18. The last time Koenig’s phone was active was on Feb. 16.

My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Koenig‘s family and friends … they lost Andrew far too soon. I have very fond memories of Koenig‘s appearance on Growing Pains and while I never really followed his career after the series ended (tho I did love his brief stint as Tumak on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) I always liked the notion that the kid who lovingly played Boner on Growing Pains was still out there somewhere. I cannot imagine what his family and friends are going thru right now … I hope they are able to find solace in this sadness somehow. This is just sad … you will be missed Andrew.
