Less than 36 hours after Carrie Fisher died, her mother Debbie Reynolds joined her in heaven. Her son Todd Fisher told Entertainment Tonight, the 84 year old “missed her daughter (Carrie) and wanted to very much be with her and she had discussed some other things. She had been very strong the last several days; (there was) enormous stress on her, obviously.” Then he added, “And this morning, she said those words to me and 15 minutes later she had a stroke and virtually left.” An inseparable love this mother and daughter shared which was chronicled in the movie Postcards from the Edge which was based on Fisher’s book about her life growing up.
Before Reynolds was a mother, she was a triple threat singing, dancing and acting in such classic Hollywood hits like Singin’ in the Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and The Singing Nun, to name a few. In the ’50s, she became a mom to Todd and Carrie with her first husband Eddie Fisher, who left his family for Elizabeth Taylor. She didn’t let that get her down and she kept on sharing her talents with the world. In recent years, she went on to guest star on several shows like The Golden Girls, Rugrats and Will & Grace.
Not only was she a Hollywood Icon, she also saved several of Hollywood’s iconic items. She amassed a collection of what studios thought was Hollywood trash and restored the costumes and props to their original glory. Sadly, over the last decade she had to sell off her collection, but they went to people who will love them as much as she did.
Today, we should honor someone who made Hollywood what it is today, by keeping her beauty alive just like she did with all the props from the Golden Era of Hollywood.
P!nk and Carey Hart welcomed their second child on Monday. The singer posted Jameson Moon’s first picture and we are assuming that Willow Sage is a big sister to a brother. In this day and age, we never know by just the child’s name. The one thing we do know for sure is that the baby is beautiful just like its parents!
For me it is nice to post a story about new life and not one being extinguished. Enough death!
UPDATE: Now that we are seeing Jameson in color, we know he is a boy!
Time and time again we have said that 2016 sucks because it started off by taking David Bowie and ended with Carrie Fisher’s passing. We say it every time another legend died, but nothing captured the awfulness of this year like ChrisTheBarker‘s reimagination of The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper album cover with all the greats we lost in the last 350+ days. In fact, the artist thought he was done, but then he had to update it again with Status Quo’s Rick Parfitt, George Michael, Liz Smith and finally Princess Leia who being beamed from R2-D2’s chest. Star Wars’ Kenny Baker also passed away this year along with Prince, Abe Vigoda, Florence Henderson, Nancy Reagan, Garry Shandling, Pete Burns, Gene Wilder and the list sadly goes on and on.
The next time someone says to you that 2016 sucked, just show them picture by ChrisTheBarker to prove to them that it truly did.
Now let’s pray he doesn’t have to update again because enough is enough.
https://youtu.be/fmD6ntwtz0s AT&T just released a commercial to show us how you can stream all you want with their service Data Free and used several pop culture icons to get their point across. From Rocky to Cheers to Big Bird to David Hasselhoff in his Knight Rider to Back to the Future, this is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
But is it enough to get people to switch to their plan? I know it didn’t work for me. Sorry, but I love love love the ad!
Oh and AT&T you know you have to top this for the Super Bowl!
For weeks there have been rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Drake are hooking up and looks like they both confirmed it with this Instagram post. I don’t know if they have Hotline Bling thing going on but since I like conspiracies; I will say this is just a cover so that she can date her ex Marc Anthony who just split from his wife. What do you think is going on here?
