Prince sought help
Prince's death has been made all the more poignant by a report that the pop genius had sought to meet with a drug-addiction specialist a day before he died, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Minnesota lawyer William Mauzy says Prince's peeps reached out to his client, California doc Howard Kornfeld, on April 20. Kornfeld could not travel to Minnesota that day, so Mauzy arranged for the singer to meet with a local doctor the next morning - the day Prince was found dead.
Authorities have yet to release a cause of death, but there are indications drugs may have been involved. The New York Times says police are investigating that possibility.

Rumer Willis' chin
Rumer Willis is angry at photogs for altering her chin to look smaller in a picture of her posing with sisters Tallulah and Scout that is set to appear in Vanity Fair.
"Whether or not they realize it, it is a form of bullying, which I won't stand for," says Rumer.
The photo team says "the retouching . . . was only done to resolve some distortion with using a wide-angle lens for a group shot, and not to alter or modify anyone's face."
