Unfortunately Paul Newman, a “real” celebrity, passed away Friday due to complications with cancer. The Associated Press states:

The 10-time Academy Award nominee died Friday at age 83, surrounded by family and close friends at his Westport farmhouse following a long battle with cancer, publicist Jeff Sanderson said Saturday.
Newman worked with some of the greatest directors of the past half century, from Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston to Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers. His co-stars included Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and, most famously, Robert Redford, his sidekick in “Butch Cassidy” and “The Sting.”
“There is a point where feelings go beyond words,” Redford said Saturday. “I have lost a real friend. My life — and this country — is better for his being in it.”

It’s very unfortunate of his passing as this man is an incredible person, not showing greed or kissing up to the camera for shitheads to gawk at.  Rather then be the norm celebrity today this man decided to make a difference in society, having started the “Newman’s Own” food company and donating millions upon millions of dollars to charities, serving are country in World War II, aiding refugees in Kosovo, and donating millions to schools to develop scholarship funds.

Yes, this guy is indeed a legend, the likes of what Hollywood rarely sees, some one with heart and concern for the world and not just himself.  This man is the definition of a “celebrity” but rarely gets the credit or respect that is earned due to dickwades selling sex and stupidity in America’s face.  Sir you will be greatly missed, Rest in peace.

Saturday morning a Learjet crashed down in South Carolina, killing four people and landing DJ AM and Travis Barker in the hospital with critical injuries.

Not many people can say they survived a plane crash but luckily these two did escaping with second and third degree burns. The two are being treated at a Georgia hospital and are in stable condition with no additional injuries. A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration states:

“the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks. The plane went off a runway and crashed on a nearby road,”
Two other passengers, including Barker’s assistant, and the pilot and co-pilot died in the crash.

Unfortunately the pilot, co-pilot, and two passengers, one being Travis Barkers assistant, the other his body guard died in the crash. Fmqb states:

Sunday morning, Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA gave an update on both musicians’ conditions. Barker was burned on his torso and lower body, while DJ AM was burned on his head and arm. Both are in “critical but stable condition.” Mullins told reporters they would make a “full recovery. Anybody who can survive a plane crash is very lucky.” Recovery from such second and third degree burns could take up to a year, but since the pair sustained no other injuries, they could heal sooner.

TheJadedMBall sends its condolences and prayers to Travis, DJ AM and two those who lost their lives in this flight and hope the two make a speedy recovery.

This is nasty, funny, and sad at the same time… Kay Mcconaughey wrote in her new book “I Amaze Myself” that her husband passed away while they were doing the nasty.
Kay states in Us Mag.:

“On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love,” Kay tells Us magazine.

“But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened,” she said of her husband’s unexpected death. “I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing.”

Kay took her husband to the hospital completely nude after he was already dead….that is some sick shit, but here’s what she says about it.

“I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift,”

Wow this bitch is crazy; she killed this man with sex and then put his naked ass on display for the world to see what she was capable of. Stay away from this family, damn sexual deviants.

Isaac Hayes was pronounced dead on Sunday at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
He was discovered by his wife, son, and wife’s cousin when they returned home from the grocery store and found him on the floor in a downstairs bedroom. Their 911 call was received and a sheriff’s deputy rushed on scene and administered CPR until paramedics arrived. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08pm, at the age of 65. The cause of death is not yet known.

Hayes, musician and actor, is widely known as the creator of the theme song Shaft, “can you dig it?” and also for his character chef on Southpark. Hayes recently worked on and completed the movie Soul Men, which stars Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac, who also passed away this weekend.

The Rev. Al Sharpton called Hayes a creative genius and stated

Even in his later years he never hesitated to appear for a cause or endorse something that he felt was for the good of mankind. He will be sorely missed.”

Rest in Peace Isaac Hayes, you’ll surely be remembered “your damn right!”

Comedian Bernie Mac died Saturday morning in Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital from pneumonia.

The actor/performer was hospitalized on August 1, and was stated to be in good health and no longer in life threatening danger on Friday by his rep. He was expected to be released within a week.

Saturday morning, Bernie’s rep released the following statement:

Actor and comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”

Bernard McCullough, Mac, was only 50 years old and a very talented individual. R.I.P Bernie, you’ll be missed.
