Paul Walker Documentary Includes Previously Unseen Footage

Late last year, Meadow Walker settled her lawsuit with Porsche over the death of her father, the late, great Paul Walker.

Now, his family and loved ones are honoring him with a documentary about him, titled I Am Paul Walker.

In the trailer for it below, you can see previously unreleased footage of him. Take a look:

After a glimpse of footage at a young teenage Paul getting nervous in front of a camera, his brother Cody Walker speaks.

"He was a big kid," Cody says of his dearly departed brother. "He was a big kid."

Director Wayne Kramer also speaks about Paul.

"That guy made the best of every single minute," Wayne says.

Wayne continues, saying: "He lived five lifetimes."

Paul was also survived by his sister, who speaks about how she remembers him

"He liked to go fast," Ashe Walker says. "As soon as I was old enough to hold on tight, I was on the back of his bigwheel with him going for the ride of my life."

Oakley Lehman, a childhood friend and a stunt performer, speaks of Paul"s complexity and apparent contradictions.

"The gun-toting hippie," Oakley says of his late friend, praising Paul as the "balance of opposites."

"You know?" Oakley continues. "A lover and a fighter."

Another childhood friend, Andy Muxlow, refers to Paul"s perpetual free spirit.

"He"s definitely not a puppet," Andy says.

"You know?" Andy asks. "He"s definitely not somebody that"s gonna just be told to do something and then do it."

Director Rob Cohen says that, as much as fans grew to love Paul Walker through the camera, that barely scratched the surface on the man he knew.

"Cinema didn"t capture it all," Rob laments. "Couldn"t capture it all."

Rob summarizes Paul"s priorities in life: ""My daughter, my surfing. That"s the life. And that"s what I care about.""

Matt Luber, Paul"s manager, speaks about how Paul was not obsessed with is status as a celebrity or even as an actor.

"Paul was always an actor who had one foot in and one foot out. He could just disappear," Matt says.

Caleb Walker, Paul"s other brother, speaks of Paul"s occassional impulses and fantasies of solitary anonymity.

"He"d always say, like, "I want to be a park ranger." You know?" Caleb says. "Make 28 grand a year, live in the wilderness. That"s really what he wanted to do."

Rhett Walker, Paul"s uncle, gushes about the impact that his late nephew had on countless individuals.

"I can actually say he did a lot of things that made a lot of difference in a lot of people"s lives," Rhett says.

Not everyone can say the same.

Tyrese Gibson is an actor and was one of Paul"s costars in the Fast and Furious franchise.

"He was a giver," Tyrese says. "If you loved him the way we did, you would say "Well, why him and not us?""

That is a normal way to grieve a lost friend.

I Am Paul Walker premieres on August 11 at 9pm on the Paramount Network.

Demi Lovato: 19 (VERY!) Candid Confessions from Her Documentary

Demi Lovato has always been an open book.

The singer has never shied away over the years from discussing her battles with substance abuse and an eating disorder.

In the YouTube documentary "Simply Complicated," Lovato is an open… series of books?

We"re not sure how to phrase it, we just know the artist discusses absolutely everything, from her career to her drug use to her most famous relationship.

Scroll down and then all around for a look at all we learned about Lovato in this revealing film:

1. When Did She First Do Cocaine?

“I was 17 working on Disney Channel, and I was with a couple of friends and they introduced me to it. I was scared because my mom always told me that your heart could just burst if you do it. But I did it anyways and I loved it. I felt out of control with the coke the first time that I did it.”

2. Yes, She Once Punched a Backup Dancer in the Face

After learning someone named Shorty outed her for using Adderall during a Camp Rock 2 tour, “I remember thinking, ‘I’m about to beat this bitch up.’ She had already boarded the plane, I just went up to her and it was like a blur.”

3. This Was a "Breaking Point"

Lovato said she slept the whole day afterward, texted her mom an apology and realized she needed major help.

4. She Entered Rehab, Got Diagnosed as Bipolar…

… and then fell off the wagon: “I wasn’t working my program, I wasn’t ready to get sober. I was sneaking it on planes, in bathrooms, nobody knew. I went on a bender of two months when I was using daily and there was one night where I used a bunch of coke, I popped a few Xanax bars and I started to choke a little bit and my heart started racing. I remember thinking, oh my god, I might be overdosing right now.”

5. This Was the Last Time She Drank:

“I invited 2 random people and basically just drank with them. I got really really drunk until it was time to get on a flight and I was so drunk that I threw up in the back of the car service on the way to the airport to perform on American Idol. I felt like that was a moment in my career where I didn’t care. I just knew that I needed to be high to get through what I was going through at that point.”

6. It Was On to a Sober Living Facility

She retired here every night after judging The X Factor. Said her manager in the documentary of this experience: “She’s having to do chores. She has no cell phone. She’s completely and totally submitted to the process of recovery.”

Tupac Shakur Killer: Finally Identified In New Documentary?

It’s been 21 years since Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas.

The hip hop icon was just 25 years old when he was killed.

Tupac’s death remains a subject of fascination for many, not only because such a tremendous talent was struck down in his prime, but also because of the mysterious circumstances surrounding his murder.

On Sunday night, Fox aired a two-hour documentary entitled Who Shot Biggie & Tupac? and despite the lurid title, the special featured real insights and evidence from those familiar with the cases.

In fact, two police officers with intimate knowledge of the details of the murder offered what they say is the decisive answer to the question of who shot Shakur.

Officers Tim Bennan and Robert Ladd were both employed by the Compton Police Department at the time of Shakur’s murder.

Since the shooting took place in Las Vegas, they were not directly involved with the investigation, but the officers did coordinate with detectives who worked on the case.

Bennan and Ladd say they pointed the investigation in the direction of a man who they still believe is the culprit.

“We believe Orlando Anderson was the one who did it,” Ladd told journalist Soledad O’Brien on last night’s show.

Anderson had been on the LAPD’s radar from the time he attempted to shoot someone as part of a Crips gang initiation when he was just 15.

At the time of Shakur’s death, Anderson was already under investigation for his alleged involvement in a different murder.

Ladd and Bennan say that despite all the theories about elaborate conspiracies surrounding Tupac’s death (many believe jailed former music mogul Suge Knight ordered Shakur’s murder), the motive was no more complex than an old beef amongst gang members.

“They had all these other theories going on, but it was a really simple gang one-on-one to Tim and I,” Ladd says of the investigating officers.

Anderson certainly had motive–he was a member of a rival gang and had once suffered a savage beating at the hands of Shakur’s security team–and Bennan and Ladd say they were able to trace the murder weapon back to him.

Bennan says he found the .40 calibre handgun that was used to murder Shakur in a Compton evidence locker.

A tag stated that it was found at a gang member’s girlfriend’s house.

Officers later learned that that gang member had also been murdered in Las Vegas around the time of Shakur’s death.

Vegas police chose not to pursue the lead, and as a result, Bennan and Ladd say, they allowed a killer to go free.

Anderson was murdered in a dispute over drug money in 1998, which means Bennan and Ladd’s theory will likely remain unproven.

And hopeful fans will continue to theorize that Tupac is still alive somewhere.
