Corey Haim Died…

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
Sad...

Corey Haim, 1971-2010

Aw, this is so sad…

80’s teen idol Corey Haim has passed away at the age of 38…

Honestly, if you didn’t see License to Drive and weren’t immediately in love with Corey, you weren’t part of a generation…

Haim was born in Canada. He starred or co-starred in a number of films such as Lucas, Murphy’s Romance, The Lost Boys, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream.

Most notably, he collaborated numerous times with Corey Feldman, the pair being dubbed “The Two Coreys.” Haim and Feldman starred in a TV ‘reality’ show titled The Two Coreys, which aired on the A&E Network from 2007 to 2008…

Corey’s cause of death has been deemed an accidental overdose by the LAPD…

So sad. Rest in peace.

Alexander McQueen: A Retrospective…

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Alexander McQueen, 1969-2010

Alexander McQueen, 1969-2010

Born in the East End of London, the son of a taxi driver, McQueen started making dresses for his three sisters at a young age and announced his intention of becoming a fashion designer.

McQueen said that one of his earliest memories was from around the age of 3 when he drew a picture of a dress on a piece of bare wall which had been exposed by peeling wallpaper in the council house where his family lived.

McQueen jokingly called it his first design sketch. Rest in peace.

Take a quick look at the genius work of Alexander McQueen…

RIP: Zelda Rubinstein Has Joined Carol Ann…

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Lets go get your daughter...

"Let's go get your daughter..."

Zelda Rubinstein (which, I’m actually relatively positive is also the name of one of my great aunts ), best known as Tangina “the magic midget” from Poltergeist, passed away early this morning at the age of 76.

I’m sad she’s gone into the light…

Zelda’s agent tells us that she died of natural causes at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles after she was hospitalized two months ago for a heart attack.

I’ll always love Zelda (well, this Zelda and my great aunt)… I think she was one of kind…

Well, two of a kind, if you count my great aunt…

Rest in peace, Zelda… I’ll see you whenever I press my hands against a static-y television…

Here’s a scene from Poltegeist that I’m sure Zelda loved…

She’s not in it, but a scary clown and Jobeth Williams’ vagina are…

Rest In Peace, Teddy Pendergrass…

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Teddy Pendergrass, 1950 - 2010.

Teddy Pendergrass, 1950 - 2010.

Legendary soul singer, Teddy Pendergrass passed away this morning at the age of 59.

This is a sad, sad day for anyone who’s ever heard Teddy sing.

Honestly, I’d go ahead and say he’s probably responsible for about 45% of all pregnancies taking place post 1970. The man was an absolute icon and true talent.

If you’ve never experienced Mr. Pendergrass, take a listen to his 1973 panty-exciter, “Close The Door” and just try not to hump your computer…

Rest in peace, Teddy.

VIDEO: Why I Loved Brittany Murphy

Monday, December 21st, 2009

3

<3

Actually, there were a ton of reasons that I loved Brittany Murphy… I think it probably started when she sang the Mentos theme in Clueless… If you don’t know what I’m referencing, go rent Clueless immediately…

Truth be told, poor Brittany had a real tough few years and the world will be less fun without her.

Check out a clip of her on David Letterman, shortly after her breakup with Ashton Kutcher… Classic.

This is so awful. Actress Brittany Murphy died last night after she went into cardiac arrest and couldn’t be revived…

The Fire Department reportedly received a call to the home that belonged to her husband. They immediately took her to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where they pronounced her dead upon arrival.

She was only 32 years old. Rest in peace.

Soupy Sales, 1926-2009

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Soupy Sales with Pookie The Lion

Aw, sad. Famed comedian and TV host, Soupy Sales died today at the age of 83. We might be a little young to remember Soupy’s comedy… But, it was great. His style of face-bending physical comedy and his hilarious exchanges with his puppets blazed the way for performers like Pee-Wee Herman, and even inspired The Simpsons.

Soupy will be missed. On the brighter side, our chances of getting a pie thrown in our faces have dropped considerably. Rest in peace. xo
