...Billy Mays, TV hawkman. Also age 50.

RIP, Billy.

Using my orange glow will never be the same.....

Now there will be dead air on all tv channels between 2 and 5 am . . . .

RIP Billy Mays

They say they always go in 3's..... Starting with David Carradine, then Ed McMahon, Farrah, Michael, now Billy Mays, um WTF?

Celebrities are dropping like flies.

Not to be grim, but I think Walter Cronkite isn't far behind.  :o

Gale Storm, 87. TV star of the 50's.

Rules exist for this kind of thing.

You never know if it's the end of a three or if your two threes behind.

Waiting for my first lottery win so I can really put down some big dollar on the next two times I win.

53, non-celeb and ducking.

Actually, he may have had 'walking dead' syndrome. No kidding!
Saturday morning he was on an airplane that had a rough landing, as the tires blew out and scattered debris on the runway.

Here is a quote:

Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.

"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."


Saturday night around 10pm he said he didn't feel well, went to bed and died.
I guess he DID have a hard head, as he SHOULD have got himself to a hospital to get checked out. Methinks he suffered a major head trauma that caused eventual brain swelling that ended his life. Had he been checked out... who knows.  

Very sad.

Just like Natasha Richardson

Same thing that killed Natasha Richardson (Mrs. Liam Neeson).

one of the things that i tell myself is that part of being alive is out living people.

My Little Margie died? I missed that one.

Now Billy Mays....Only fifty....forgive me: Bet he didn't go quietly  8-)

Well I for one, will miss Billy. He brought me the Hercules Hooks, the OxyClean and who knows what else to make my life less of a hassel.

RIP my dear man. You will be missed.

Hugs BD :-*

MIGHTY PUTTY!

Fred Travalena, then man of a thousand voices, age 66, yesterday of cancer. I loved him growing up, but since he wasn't as large of a celebrity will be just a blip on the radar. Celebrities are like flies! Just a sad fact: life always ends and the older we get, the more our stars will fade.

Fred at his best.
