Newman has always held his private life pretty close to the vest. He's a pretty class act, and I wish he could live another 100 years. One of the last of the truly great actors.

I think this is Elizabeth Taylors' year. She's been at the edge of death so often, she has to fall over it sometime.

My theory is that it was supposed to be Morgan Freeman but he got off with a broken arm.

No, he got off with the lady he was with BEFORE the arm broke. :-)

Robert Hazard died August 5, 2008. He's riding on the escalator of death. RIP.

Not in mine, but a great loss and another who shaped the music world that the next generation or ten will probably never even know existed.

Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun...without these guys, who knows what rock and roll would have been? Clive Davis is getting up there, too. Hopefully he won't fall off a stage.

The death of Gene Upshaw, a Hall of Fame guard and pillar of the NFL Players Association, came as a shock to almost everyone.

Upshaw died this morning of pancreatic cancer, the NFLPA confirmed. He was 63.
