LARAINE DAY - 87


She was always the lady with such a sweet spirit. I always enjoy running into one of her old movies.

I think there was a Simon and Garfunkle song with the lyrics "I've been Norman Mailered and Maxwell Taylored." That is how I remember his name.I think he was considered a controversial author.

Yes that's right! "I've been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind"! Good good song.

I was watching Martha Stewart today and wondered why they were doing this montage on her mother. Well I found out that Martha's mother died on Friday at the age of 93. martha_kostyra
Sounds like she had a very full, accomplished life.

Quiet Riot singer found dead in Las Vegas 1 hour, 34 minutes ago


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the popular 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been found dead from unknown causes at his home in Las Vegas, authorities said on Monday.

DuBrow, 52, was found dead at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner's Office said. She said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.

"I can't even find the words to say," Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."

Quiet Riot, which was founded in the mid-1970s, topped the Billboard charts in 1983 with the album "Metal Health," spurred on by the massive hit single "Cum on Feel the Noize."

The band has since endured break-ups and personnel changes but released a new album in 2006 and continued to tour sporadically.

I have never heard of this group or this man, but it is always sad when someone dies before their time. His family must be in such shock.

They were just in Pryor, Oklahoma this summer performing at 'Rocklahoma', a hugely successful concert that featured all the big hair bands of the 80's. They were awesome and full of energy! Very sad day for them all.

Daredevil Evel Knievel died Friday, said his granddaughter. He was 69.

He had reportedly been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and a condition that caused scarring in his lungs.

Knievel underwent a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of Hepatitis C. We're told he likely contracted the disease from a blood transfusion after one of his infamous spills.

Evel's rep tells TMZ, "The world has lost a one of a kind human being. Someone like this we'll never never see again." His rep told us that he had just spoken to Evel yesterday, and he wasn't feeling well.

When I read Evel Knievel at first, I pictured Super Dave Osborne. LOL

76! How can that be? If he's 76, I must be....well, nevermind.

I saw Ike and Tina years and years ago. Gosh, they were good. Saw them in a tiny club in Long Beach.

DH (who is 25 years older than I) was friends with Ike and Tina in the 60's when they partied along the Illinois river. This news really hit him. He said Ike was a <55> but you couldn't help but like him anyway.

Beek, I also saw them in a tiny club somewhere in Los Angeles area circa 1969. My brother was out there going to UCLA at the time, and I was visiting. He insisted I go see this act because he said they were going to make it big.

...and they certainly did, Juju.
I'm anxiously awaiting Tina's comments.

Anderson Cooper quoted Tina (from her rep) as saying that she had had no contact with Ike for many years and would have no further comment.
