Wow...

Yep that one word about sums it up for me for this week. Hollywood is on the Grim Reeper's hit list and he is plucking them off one at a time. One blow after another to the heavy hitters of Hollywood has to be making fellow hollywoodites wonder who is next. We all know we live, we pay taxes and we die...but holy cow this is getting kinda out of control. Let's recap...

Ed McMahon - March 6, 1923 - June 23, 2009
Farrah Fawcett - February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009
Michael Jackson - August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009
Gale Storm - April 5, 1922 - June 27, 2009
Billy Mays - July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009

The tragedy this week is in mass proportions, one shock after another. I guess I am the typical nosey person, waiting for cause of death in Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. Each of these people was known world wide for one thing or another. Their deaths are affecting millions across the globe. Be sure to check out Tv.com's Michael Jackson tribute. Say what you will about the man, but he was amazing at what he did.

Ya know, I could come up with something else to talk about, however it doesn't seem right. For the people who have passed their families are left with grief and sadness for their loved ones. Not only are we as a world mourning the loss of these people, they left behind children and families. My thoughts go to them at this time.

For the rest of us non-famous people that have lost loved ones, my thoughts are with you. While our pain and grief is not all over the news, it hurts us...the family, just the same. With that being said, this year has pretty much blown so far, hopefully it will make a change for the better soon.

Edit - While typing this up preliminary cause of death for Billy Mays is heart disease. Still waiting final cause of death pending toxicology.

Later Taters!!
