Soft Rock artist Paul Davis passed away yesterday from a heart attack. He was 60. I was a fan of this man's music, and am saddened to hear this news. He was probably best known for the track "I go crazy" which was popular on billboard and stayed on the charts for quite some time. http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/artic...4665741,00.html |

Comic and entertainer Dick Martin passed away Saturday in Los Angeles. He was 86. Martin died from respiratory failure and had been battling respiratory disease for years, according to his publicist. Dick Martin was one half of the comedy team of "Rowan And Martin", his partner Dan Rowan. Together the two comics appeared, beginning in 1968, on an innovative new comedy television series called Rowan And Martin's Laugh In. To see more of this entertainer's life and career click the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24810404 I remember watching "Laugh In" as a kid in the living room with my parents. Goldie Hawn, Henry Gibson, Arte Johnson and purse wielding Ruth Buzzi. To me the show was hilarious. He'll be missed.

Don S. Davis has died. I'm a big fan of Stargate SG-1, and always liked his General Hammond character. Hammond shows up again in the new SG-1 movie coming out this month, Stargate: Continuum.

![]() Here's a related link: http://gateworld.net/news/2008/06/don_s._davis_1942-2008.shtml I was not, admittedly, familiar with his career as I have seen very few "Stargate" episodes. Obviously he was a decent man who was beloved and highly respected by his colleagues, both personal and professional. He will be missed. |

One of my current favorite comedians suddenly passed away. Bernie Mac died today from pneumonia complications. He was just 50 years old. As it mentions in this article, the world just got a little less funny. You know what? It did. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/obit_bernie_mac |

I used to catch episodes of the Bernie Mac show when I could, and it was one of the few sitcoms I actually watched. Bernie was a real talent on stage and screen and very fun to watch. He will definetly be missed. |

I knew him as Chef and the Duke of New York. Guess he was in Stargate SG-1 for a few episodes too. Can't believe I didn't know he sang the Shaft song. I didn't know he was into Scientology. I guess that's why he had a falling out with the South Park creators and left the show. I think Scientology is ridiculous, but I won't hold that against him. Everybody makes stupid choices. He's probably still a great guy, and he contributed to my life. RIP Isaac Hayes. |

I read the entire article about James Hoyt. It's regrettable that so few knew about this man's exploits and experiences in WWII. That in and of itself is testament to Mr. Hoyt's humility, class and decency because he never desired to bring any extra attention to himself. I think he symbolized the best in not only a soldier but also a human being as well. Rest in peace, sir. |

Hollywood has lost one of it's all time greats: Paul Newman has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Newman died in his home, surrounded by family and friends. He was 83. The legendary actor, who was also at one time a part time race car driver(in the late 70's), was nominated for ten Oscars, winning one and also winning two more honorary Oscars for his lifetime of contributions to cinema. Mr. Newman's career spanned over fifty years. I won't list every movie he starred in but these are among my personal favorites of this marvelous actor: Hud(1963) The Color Of Money(1986) The Sting(1973) Cool Hand Luke(1967) The Towering Inferno(1974) The Hustler(1961) The Verdict(1982) Fore more info about this man's life and career click the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26913988/?GT1=43001 It goes without saying that Paul Newman will be greatly missed.
