Yeah, but they always die in threes, and that completes the triptych. We'll probably have a dry spell now.

Also.. there was a pretty wildly spread report saying that Jeff Goldblum had passed, but that ones is fake (thank god for that too since i really like him!).

If Jeff Goldblum dies, then we are all fucked.

I am floored that Mike Jackson died. That came out of nowhere RIP King Of Pop.

They're reporting that MJ died of a possible drug induced heart attack. Those are unconfirmed however.

The drugs in question were most likely painkillers that he had been taking. Just like with Heath Ledger's death last year, the drugs in question were over the counter and prescribed beforehand.

Just found out that comedian Fred Travalena died. Known as the "Man of a Thousand Faces", he made numerous game show guest appearances in the 1970's.

Malden is spectacular in Streetcar...Damn good in pretty much everything, but to be honest I thought he died years ago.

Also in: Mollie Sugden, the wisecracking old lady from Britcom Are You Being Served? has died at 86. She was the one who had a different-colored wig/hairdo every episode.

Also, Harve Presnell has passed away. I don't know if anyone besides me has ever seen "Paint Your Wagon", the Clint Eastwood musical, but he was in that. He was also in Fargo, Saving Private Ryan and Old School.

Not only have I seen it, but I rewatch it every 5 years or so. There is no better musical western comedy.

The only thing I know about Paint Your Wagon is that homer watches it on an episode of the simpsons.
