Whitney Houston : Bobby Brown'd To Death. Here's our Tribute.

I think this should be listed as the official cause of her death. "Bobby Brown'd" to death. But she was a big girl and made her own choices too. Let us not forget teh spectacle we saw during that Barbara Waa-Waa interview a few years ago, when she famously said, "crack is wack".

In honor of her passing, I will leave you with this stirring rendition of a famous Whitney Houston song, performed by an obese, oriental kid, whos sports a $5 hair cut and, for what it's worth, a pretty decent voice. But, man...that hair cut. Wow. Enjoy.

Did Red Wine Kill Jimi Hendrix?

When you think of dangerous rock ‘n’ roll substances, red wine probably isn’t even on the list. But according to a friend of Jimi Hendrix, it may have been the cause of the guitar legend’s death.

In an interview with the UK’s Daily Mail, Meic Stevens recounted the last night of Hendrix’s life, saying he “was drinking lager or some kind of beer and he just poured the wine in to the pint glass. I don’t think he had ever drunk red wine before — he didn’t know how to drink it. He seemed okay. He seemed to be alright. But the next day I woke up late and somebody phoned and said Jimi’s dead. Apparently he choked on his own vomit.”

It was literally death by pasta in Toronto, Ontario earlier this week, when a man who works in a pasta factory actually fell in to a pasta making machine. The 26 year old man was working at the machine when according to a relative of a worker, his shirt got caught in the machine, and it pulled him in head first.
