Film director John Hughes died unexpectedly today. He suffered a heart attack. Hughes was the mind behind some of the 80s biggest teen films, such as The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He also directed 90skd favorite Home Alone and its sequel. He is surely missed.

GNR | The Resurrectifier

I know I can't be the only individual who finds it extremely odd that Mays' commercials run daily. This is funny, but wrong on so many levels.

411 | Michael Jackson's Memorial

Noon today Michael Jackson will grace our television screens for the last time, but will remain in our hearts forever. Jackson's memorial service will be held in LA's Staples Center and could possibly be the most watched televised event in history, ironically surpassing his own Super Bowl Halftime show. The ceremony is being compared to that of Princess Diana's in its global appeal.

1958-2009 | Michael Jackson

A simple text message changed my entire night. Michael Jackson has died of cardiac arrest. I read in disbelief and utter astonishment. The man. The legend. The most influential artist of our time. The King of Pop. The greatest entertainer next to James Brown. The Bad, Dangerous Thriller, whose music was Invincible to the test of time. He moonwalked Off the Wall to the top of the charts and still maintains the best-selling album of all time. HIStory is one we all know and will never forget. This weekend will be dedicated to the little boy from Gary, Indiana who captivated the world with his art, and more importantly, his heart.

411 | Farrah Fawcett has died

The Charlie's Angel star and 70s style icon has succumbed to her bout with cancer. Fawcett has passed just a day after legendary comedian Ed McMahon.

411 | Now we'll never know

The word has spread about the abrupt death of up-and-coming rapper Dolla. According to ew.com Dolla, aka Roderick Anthony Burton II, 21, was shot outside a shopping center in Los Angeles. Sounds like Burton was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's insane to think he and I are the same age, both pursuing our dreams through different means. Life is truly not promised. More here.
