stephen gately died

A-WHAT?! I'm sorry to hear that one of the members of my favourite boy band of the 1990s, Boyzone, died last October 10 while vacationing in Mallorca and most likely by this time he's already buried. I just red the news today and it's more of an aftermath news about someone who's making a bad publicity about the cause of Gately's death and...ahh, never mind! Gately died at the age of 33 due to fluid in the lungs. Due to fluid in the lungs? Hydrothorax?

patrick swayze died

I was young when I first watched Patrick Swayze in a movie and I don't know it's him then. It's the Dirty Dancing (1987) which he co-starred with Jennifer Grey. I just remember the movie has lots of dancing (hehe!) but with my young mind that time I don't know why it's dirty 'though. Then came my favourite, Ghost. How I love him in that movie! Swayze died last Monday after battling pancreatic cancer for the last 20 months. He was 57.

paris jackson broke my heart

Paris Jackson's short speech during her daddy's memorial touched countless hearts including mine. I cried the first time I saw the video and I am shameless to admit that I still cry everytime I watch that vid. We may know MJ as a celebrity...as a king... but with his kids he will always be their daddy. To watch the video please click here.

mj's brain

Michael Jackson may had a very emotional memorial last July 7th but the whereabouts of his remains is not yet known for the family opted to give a part of MJ's brain as part of the investigation into how he died. That and being pure geniuses with their own crafts are the similarities between MJ and Albert Einstein. According to the book I red few months ago, Spilling the Beans on... ALBERT EINSTEIN by: Frances Mayes, the scientists then cubed Einstein's brain into 240 pieces after Dr. Thomas Harvey, a pathologist, photographed and pickled it (preserved in formalin, hehehe!). After cubing Einstein's brain they numbered each one and put them into two jars and been kept for 22 years until scientists from California decided to study the cubes and the photographs. Well as for MJ's brain, the investigators are just going to wait for the organ to harden before they can conduct neuropathology tests to help determine what caused Jackson's apparent cardiac arrest and subsequent death. Sometimes there's a big catch if you are a pure genius.

michael jackson's sudden death

Today many people all over the world mourn over the sudden death of the 'King of Pop'. It was very early morning today when I saw his pictures being shown in a local channel here in Hong Kong but I don't understand Cantonese so I immediately went on-line to know what is the news about him this time and really shocked to learn that he died. I am not actually a big fan of MJ but I like most of his early hits like I Just Can't Stop Loving You, The Way You Make Me Feel (I remember Romnick Sarmenta performing this song in That's Entertainment before) and Heal The World but still it saddens me that he died at this point of his life where he was still struggling to come out from all the scandals he's facing for few years now. As of now floods of news are being posted in the internet like the fans reactions across the US. Michael Jackson may be dead but his songs and legacy will live forever.
