Good call on Raven Alexis. Didn't realize she was sick, probably because I only listen to Stern a couple days a week now when I drive to work. Was looking for some porn star to add to my list for lifestyle and was going to try Bree Olson just because she's a little nuts, but then saw that she's "retired" (I give it three months). Almost took that other Sheen girl, too, the drunk.

It's like you have a hotline to cancer victims.

ALthough this is rather morbid for a thread, it is kind of interesting in a way.

As for your "system," I wonder how much traveling you do? Coincidence?

how about listing who these "stars" are, so that I, or someone else, doesn't google a name and come up with a porn blast.

Former SD Gov., US Rep. Bill Janklow dead at 72
By CHET BROKAW, AP

PIERRE, S.D. — As governor of South Dakota for 16 years, Bill Janklow was always in a hurry — pushing lawmakers to approve his proposals and racing to disaster sites to take charge. His need for speed also likely played a role in his one regret: the 2003 fatal traffic accident that landed him in jail and ended his political career.

As South Dakota's attorney general, governor and congressman, the colorful politician dominated the state's political landscape for more than a quarter century, changing the face of the state's economy, education system and tax structure. Even his enemies — and there were many — admitted the Republican had a talent for getting things done, even as they complained that he ran roughshod over his opponents.

Janklow died shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday of brain cancer after being moved to hospice care in Sioux Falls earlier in the week, his son Russ Janklow said. He was 72.

Legendary blues singer Etta James dies in Calif.
By ROBERT JABLON, AP

LOS ANGELES — Etta James' performance of the enduring classic "At Last" was the embodiment of refined soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love finally realized after a long and patient wait.

In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song. The platinum blonde's first hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known as a hell-raiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry. Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents.

The 73-year-old died on Friday at Riverside Community Hospital, with her husband and sons at her side, De Leon said.

Not like it matters--Sly has this thing wrapped up already.
