Sucks to lose him.

Oh man... one of the greatest artists ever.

He's in a better place, surrounded by chainmeal bikini'ed valkyries and awesome wyverns.

Lena Horne was a jewel--rare, beautiful, unique.

And Frazetta--his artwork defined what sci-fi/fantasy art should look like.

Damn. Frazetta was awesome. I'm a big fan of his work. RIP :(

A Ziegfeld girl was still alive? Weird. Now that I've realized that, it's now weird that she's dead.

Doris Eaton Travis Will surely be missed. RIP

It won't mean shit to the lame ass hipsters on the site, but for anyone who has any appreciation of rock, a pioneer has passed on.

I keep hearing he is dead, he isn't dead...both confirmed by his wife, what is going on?

Official site says yes, so I'm going to believe it's true.

That sucks so hard...DAMN YOU 2010!!!

Rest in peace, Dio.

Ah Dio! That sucks! One of the first ones of the year I actually give a shit about.

Nearly five months to the day after the shocking death of Brittany Murphy, the actress' screenwriter husband has been found dead in the couple's Hollywood Hills home at 1800 block of Rising Glen Road.

Simon Monjack was 39.

Murphy's mother, Sharon, apparently called the emergency services last night after finding Monjack unconscious in the bedroom. But, according to ETOnline.com, resuscitation efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angelels Fire Department confirmed receiving a 911 call seeking medical aid just before 9:30 p.m. Los Angeles police sergeant Louie Lozano confirmed that Monjack had passed away, only five months after his wife died from pneumonia.

Early reports claim that Murphy's mother-in-law found Monjack unconscious in his bedroom at 9.30pm. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead from cardiac arrest.

"We have detectives at the scene. They are conducting their investigation. Once we have further information, we will provide it," said sergeant Lozano.

The British-born Monjack's IMDb résumé included two films: a story credit on Factory Girl, the 2006 biopic of Andy Warhol sidekick Edie Sedgwick, starring Sienna Miller; and as writer-director-producer of the U.K. indie drama Two Days, Nine Lives. He also dabbled in photography.

Murphy died of cardiac arrest in the same house on Dec. 20. The coroner ruled her death accident, the fatal combination of pneumonia, anemia and prescription drugs, many of which were prescribed in Monjack's name. The Clueless star was just 32. Monjack blamed Hollywood for his partner's passing, claiming that the movie industry had "blood on their hands".

In February, Monjack came under scrutiny after it was learned that he was trying to raise funds for the Brittany Murphy Foundation without applying for nonprofit status with the IRS. He wound up scuttling the foundation and returned all donations.

A month, Monjack told E! News he was planning on selling the couple's home and moving to New York. Monjack had previously told of his cardiac trouble, telling one interviewer after his wife's death: "I suffer from seizures. I had a heart attack coming back from Puerto Rico last year."

I wasn't a fan, but 38 is too damn young.

RIP.

Not the greatest band, and they get a lot of BS. But in reality, they have some good lyrics and catchy melodies.

RIP I wasn't much of a fan, listen to a few songs, but not all the time, still to young to go.

RIP Paul Gray.

"What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

Gary Coleman, 42, the diminutive, wisecracking child star of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," whose adult life collapsed into a tabloid calamity, died Friday at a hospital in Provo, Utah. He suffered a brain hemorrhage after falling at his home in Santaquin, Utah.

Mr. Coleman was 10 when he stepped into the national spotlight in 1978, playing the witty, lovable Arnold Jackson on NBC's "Diff'rent Strokes." The role was created for him and made Mr. Coleman the best-known child star on television for the eight years the hit comedy was on the air.

He played the younger of two orphaned African-American brothers adopted by a white Manhattan millionaire after the death of their mother, the rich man's housekeeper. The show was a comedic showcase for Mr. Coleman, who looked younger than his actual age because his growth had been stunted by a congenital kidney condition.

On the set, he proved to be a thorough professional who could memorize his dialogue in a single reading and deliver it with perfect timing. His signature line, directed toward his brother Willis, played by Todd Bridges, became a nationwide catch phrase: "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

The show was such a cultural touchstone that first lady Nancy Reagan appeared on "Diff'rent Strokes" in 1983 to make an anti-drug pitch.

Mr. Coleman also had his own Saturday morning cartoon show and was a guest on "The Tonight Show," where he upstaged Johnny Carson, who jokingly asked if he wanted to take over the rest of the show.

"With all the laughing and cheering out there," he replied, "quite possibly."

Gary Wayne Coleman was born Feb. 8, 1968, in Zion, Ill., and was adopted as an infant by a blue-collar family. Mr. Coleman's kidney disease was diagnosed at 18 months, and he had his first transplant at 5.

He began modeling for a local store at 7 and appeared in TV commercials. A talent scout recommended him to producer Norman Lear, who cast the budding actor in episodes of "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons." Recognizing Mr. Coleman's appeal, Lear and his production team designed "Diff'rent Strokes" around him.

Besides his wife, survivors include his parents, W.G. Coleman and Edmonia Sue Coleman of Zion.

"Family never meant anything to me," Mr. Coleman said in 2003, "but a whole lot of trouble that I don't need."

he fell down? I think his wife killed him and is going to use the insurance money to fix her face.

Poor old Arnold. He had a tough life. If anyone in hollywood had a good excuse to go off the rails it was him. I know he had some episodes. But he did a good job at keeping his dignity. Unlike all the little starlet whores, who lose all sense of self respect at a drop of a hat crying poor me over the smallest of issues.
murder doll. you should take note of the saying " those in glass houses."

The icons of the 80's are dropping like flies.

RIP Gary Coleman
