Repeat: NOT DEAD http://sithomeandrot.com/celebs/2011/12/19/jon-bon-jovi-is-not-dead-repeat-not-dead/ http://sithomeandrot.com/celebs/2011/12/19/jon-bon-jovi-is-not-dead-repeat-not-dead/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:27:04 +0000 Manny http://sithomeandrot.com/celebs/?p=3925 There was  a false Tweet earlier today that went out with a link to a bullshit press report saying the Jove died of a heart attack and was in a coma but not in a coma but dead of a sliver…basically a confusing ball of bullshit that anyone who is not retarded would know is bullshit.

However, seeing as 80% of the human population is retarded, it was retweeted to death and multiple sources picked up on it.

So to repeat once more ladies, and men who like men in the way straight ladies do, Bon Jovi is still available for your masturbatory fantasies.

See a video after the break. Bon Jovi – Wanted Dead or Alive

E! is reporting that George Carlin died of heart failure after checking himself into the hospital. It was his second major heart episode; the first coming when he was 41.

It really is a sad day for lovers of comedy. Whether you loved him or hated him, Carlin’s influence is undeniable. He was a a pioneer of mainstreaming blue…make that very blue stand up comedy.

Has he done much lately? Not really. He was still working but the edge was certainly dulling. However, I guess that’s the unfortunate normal march of time.

No matter what your thoughts on Carlin, he influenced some/all of the comedic entertainmers who enjoy watching and laughing at. For that alone, he should be remembered and respected.

I have read reports that said it was stomach cancer that he was having treated in Houston, but I suppose that’s not entirely relevant.

What is relevant is that you remember this remarkable talent and enjoy his past work. It’s also important that you remember to listen to your body. If something seems wrong, seek medical attention; especially later on in life.

Sydney lived a long fruitful life, but many have their cut short by this silent killer when people don’t take care of themselves.

So, take care of yourselves.

Rest in Peace Sydney.

Emilio Diaz, Cameron’s father, developed a case of the flu recently and it turned into pneumonia. He was otherwise healthy, but still succumb to the disease at age 58. TMZ.com reports:

“We’re told the 58-year-old Emilio Diaz, a popular resident of Seal Beach, Calif., recently developed the flu which then turned into pneumonia. We hear his death was “shocking” as Emilio was in “terrific health.” Diaz is currently filming her upcoming flick “My Sister’s Keeper.” A source on the set tells us production on the film was shut down today. Emilio was a second generation Cuban-American who worked as a foreman for an oil company.”

Freaky, freaky shit. 58 isn’t all that old at all to be dying from anything. I guess it’s just a reminder to keep as good a care of yourself as you possibly can because you never know what might sneak up and take you…even then it still might take you.

Condolences are offered, but surely aren’t ever enough. Hopefully Cameron and her family are able to find a place of semi-normality sooner rather than later after this gigantic loss.

UPDATE: Cameron Diaz thanks her fans for their support HERE

There was once a time when if a man looked at you sideways you asked him if he had something to say to you. If he was just spacing out he'd apologize and you buy each other a shot of whiskey and keep that fucking bar open until 4 a.m and chat up everything in a skirt that passed by your way. If he did have a problem, he'd own up to it and you'd step outside to duke it out a bit. No cheap shot bullshit, no pulling out knives or pistols if the other guy is throwing fists only. At the end of it all, you buy each other a shot of whiskey and keep that fucking bar open until 4 a.m. and chat up everything with a skirt that passed by your way. Charlton Heston was a throwback to a time when men didn't talk about connecting with their feminine side because they cut that son of a bitch out with a ka-bar knife fighitng commies or Nazis in some god forsaken shithole just because they needed something fun to do that year. He was a throwback to a time when if there was a raccoon fucking up your trash cans and harassing your dogs at all hours of the night you didn't call animal control and wait 4 hours for them to come hit it with the taser and gas it to death for you. You went in your house, pulled out your varmint rifle (which if you weren't a pussy you'd know how it's different from your average deer rifle) shoot the son of a bitch, skin it and have it for dinner the next day. He was from a time when if a guy cracked wise about your lady you punched him in the face or the gut no questions asked. No 'excuse me?' no, 'do you have a problem?' bullshit, you just punch him because if that guy still had anything resembling manhood left in him, he got up and dusted himself off realized he was out of line apologized with a tip of the proverbial hat and kept on walking knowing he deserved it and didn't called a lawyer to sue you over his bruised ego because he was acting like an asshole. He was from a time in Hollywood when films were epic and urgent and had to be to contain a personality the size of him. A time when the films were sweeping in their grandeur and their grit. No matter how stilted the dialog or how 'fake' the sets looked, you bought it because the actors pouring their hearts out on the screen believed it and wanted you to believe it and by golly you better believe you bought it. Many have come and gone since Chuck first hit the silver screen, but few ever matched the sheer massiveness of his screen persona or his gusto for his work. Now if you'll excuse me, while you are talking to your boyfriend about his feelings and reassuring him that it's OK that he cried at the end of that last episode of The Hills I'm going to tip a beer to one of the last of a dying breed.

Richard Widmark, who made an indelible screen debut in 1947 as a giggling sadistic killer and later brought a sense of urban cynicism and unpredictability to his roles as a leading man, has died. He was 93. Widmark died Monday at his home in Roxbury, Conn., after a long illness, his wife, Susan Blanchard, told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. She said a fractured vertebrae Widmark suffered in a fall last year was the beginning of his illness. "I lost a dear friend, and you don't have friends like him," Karl Malden, who first met Widmark in New York when they were both, he said Wednesday, "hustling for radio work" in the early 1940s. Malden later appeared in five movies with Widmark.

]]> Blind blues guitarist famous for playing with the guitar flat on his lap has died of cancer.

It was originally cancer that took his eyes when he was 1 and it seems that the evil beast known as cancer has come back and won the war it waged with Jeff.

In all honesty he hasn’t been all that prominent since the 80′s and early 90′s but I think most people of a certain age remember him and can’t help but have a degree of admiration for all he was able to accomplish especially given his disability.

On a semi-joking note, it allows me to post a video of the guitar duel from Crossroads between Steve Vai and Karate Kid (actually is was Ry Cooder) where Vai totally kicks the shit out of him but still somehow loses anyway which is ridiculous because Vai is god. I realize that it was Road House that Jeff Appeared in but I couldn’t find a good guitar video of that (though a humorous clip of it appears after the break) and Crossroads is pretty close since it’s a shit bar and a blues band.

Yeah, I mostly just wanted to work in the Crossroads video. ‘Head cuttin!”

God speed, Jeff. Keep on rockin’

On a side note, real classy of the Oscar committee omiting Brad Renfro from the death roll video.

There have been a number of reports on it that I won’t bother linking to because they mostly offer facile excuses for the omission. However, reports were swirling that because of his troubles with heroine abuse and his drug overdose death he was cut…and yet drug overdose death Heath Ledger remained in.

I don’t know if we will ever know the real reason is but the company line of ‘well we can’t include everyone and can’t do nothing but actors’ line of bullshit is, well, bullshit. Actors are the most recognizable part of the movie business and should be primarily featured on that part of the show. It’s not like Renfro did no movies. He was in Oscar nominated fair (the criminally neglected Ghost World that should be compulsory viewing for anyone who claims to enjoy films) and just completed several other films before his demise so it’s not like we are talking Corey Feldman here.

The AP reports:
The cause of death was "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement. The medical examiner's office only provided generic names, so it is unknown whether he took generic or brand-name drugs. Police had said they found six types of prescription drugs, including sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication, in Ledger's apartment. Oxycodone is a painkiller marketed as OxyContin and used in other painkillers such as Percodan and Percocet; hydrocodone is used in a number of painkillers, including Vicodin. Diazepam and alprazolam are the generic names for the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and Xanax, and the other two drugs are sleep aids commonly sold under the brands Restoril and Unisom.
Sorry. As sad as it is to lose such a talented actor at this young of an age, it's hard to feel THAT bad for someone who clearly ignored the orders of his doctor in my opinion. I can't think of a doctor alive who would suggest a patient take that cocktail of drugs.

If you are going to multiple doctors like Ledger was, you MUST tell them what you are taking. They have no other way of knowing.

The AP reports:

The cause of death was “acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement.

This just happened about 2 hours ago and details are still coming in but the Ventura County Star is reporting (check them often for updates):
Ventura County Sheriff's Department officials said Avary, 42, who won an Academy Award in the mid-90s for the film "Pulp Fiction," was the driver in the single-car collision that occurred shortly after midnight in front of the Ojai Lumber Company on the east side of town.

Zini was transported to Ventura County Medical Center, where he died on the operating table shortly before 7 a.m., apparently of internal injuries, Senior Deputy Medical Examiner Craig Stevens said. Avary's wife, Gretchen Avary, 40, was ejected from the car and found in the roadway by deputies. She was transported to Ojai Valley Community Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition late this afternoon.
