RIP: Ed McMahon 1923 – 2009
This is such sad news. A sad loss in American entertainment. He did so much for America. Everything from “Star Search” to the “Tonight Show” to “American Family Publisher’s Million Dollar Sweepstakes”, etc.
Here is one last, “HHhhheeeeeeeerrreeeeeeee’s JOHNNY!” for Ed!

RIP: David Carradine 1936 – 2009

Wow!!!!!!!!!! Shocking! Sad also, as David Carradine is one of the best actors in Hollywood ever. Nobody ever thought David was depressed and suicidal.

Edit to add: TmZ confirms his death wasn’t suicide, it was accidental. He was found nude in the closet of his hotel room with a rope tied around his body. His reps confirmed that he would never kill himself.
My question is, what the hell was he doing naked in a closet?
I don’t mean to sound sick or anything but was he doing some kind of sexual bondage by himself? He definitely had to be doing something sexual privately for himself, doing some of kind of sexual masturbation thing or something. Whatever he was doing.

While, “Iron” Mike Tyson, maybe the most hated fighter and the most hated Hollywood celebrity, he is still a human being and that is still his daughter. You should still give him and the Tyson family the respect through these difficult times.
Thoughts and prayers go out to “Iron” Mike and his family. This is heartbreaking. Accidental deaths can happen to anybody at anytime. It’s so sad when children die like that. RIP Exodus.

RIP: Bea Arthur 1922 – 2009
Another Golden Girl is dead, first Estelle Getty, and now Bea Arthur. Bea Arthur, another TV legend. Such a tragedy. There’s only two left, Rue McClanahan and Betty White are the only surviving cast of the legendary sitcom, “The Golden Girls” which I used to watch all the time. RIP Bea.

RIP: Marilyn Chambers 1952 – 2009
She’s considered one of the first porn stars to bring adult porn entertainment to the mainstream. Yes, Marilyn Chambers is dead at 56. She was found at her home in Los Angeles. Her cause of death is not yet known. She did films like “Behind the Green Door” and “Deep Throat”. She was also known as the Ivory Snow girl.
So sad, 56 is too young. Today’s porn industry gotta be devastated since she is the one that started it all.

RIP: Jade Goody 1981 – 2009
The former reality TV star who once starred in the hit TV series, “Big Brother”, Jade Goody could not survive her cancer that she had a long battle with. She died in her sleep at her home in Essex, England. She is survived by her two sons, her mother, and an ex-boyfriend of hers. She was only 27 years old.
Such a shame, another tragic death and so sad. She’s too damn young to die, a beautiful young girl that didn’t deserve this. I’ll say it again…cancer sucks. Anybody can get it, anytime.

RIP: Natasha Richardson 1963 – 2009
I’m so heartbroken over this news, this is so sad. Natasha Richardson, who is a film actress and she is the wife of legendary actor, Liam Neeson, died today. Natasha was skiing at a ski resort in Montreal, she had an accident and fell. She was hospitalized Monday, accompanied by her husband Liam, and she was moved to a hospital in New York City. She was 45 years old.
My condolences goes out to Liam, his family and friends. This is horrible. This just proves that skiing is not always safe. I know, I used to be a downhill mountain skiier when I was a kid. RIP Natasha.

RIP: Andrew “Test” Martin 1975 – 2009
It’s been a long while since there has been a WWE wrestler death hasn’t it? Sure has. Here is the first wrestler death of 2009. Andrew “Test” Martin, better known as, Test, in the WWE, was found dead in his Tampa, Fl. apartment.
To those who don’t remember him, in the early days of WWE, he had a major feud against superstar Triple H. Being in a love triangle storyline over Stephanie McMahon. In real life, Test dated former WWE Diva, Stacy Keibler.
Andrew’s cause of death is unknown at this time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it has something to do with drugs. He was only 33 years old.
