Michael Clarke Duncan passed at the age of 54


At the age of 54, Michael Clarke Duncan died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancée, reality TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily.
Duncan "suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered," the statement said. "Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date."
Tom Hanks, star of 1999's "The Green Mile" — the film that earned a then-little-known Duncan a supporting-actor nomination at the Academy Awards — said he was "terribly saddened at the loss of Big Mike. He was the treasure we all discovered on the set of 'The Green Mile.' He was magic. He was a big love of man and his passing leaves us stunned."
"I will miss my friend, Michael Clarke Duncan," comedian and talk-show host Steve Harvey said on Twitter. "What an incredible soldier in God's Plan." Other sad and shocked reactions came from a diverse field that included Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, actresses Alexa Vega, Niecy Nash and Olivia Munn, and former boxing champion Lennox Lewis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE KING O POP MICHAEL JACKSON R.I.P


Its has been another year without The King Of Pop and every year its hard to believe he is dead. I know this may sound corny but Michael Jackson was one of the individuals I wanted to meet when I got my production things together. I wanted to meet him and have a real conversation with him. I was torn when I heard he died. I was in total disbelief. Michael Jackson music is my playlist I listen to when I was feeling down because his music always made you feel good. Michael Jackson's Legacy will live on forever and people will know he was here.

Below are some of my favorite songs by MJ>>>

Earth Song

Rock With You

Remember The Time

Say Say Say

They Don't Care About Us

Ghost

You Are Not Alone

Billie Jean

Dirty Diana

Thriller

And before he died he released this song, which I listened to over ad over again after I found out. 

This Is It

Heavy D passed away at the age of 44



It saddens us to report that rap legend Heavy D passed away earlier today at the age of 44. According to TMZ, a 911 call was placed from a home in Beverley Hills stating there was an unconscious man in a walkway. When the paramedics arrived, Heavy D was reportedly responsive to medical workers while being transported to a nearby hospital. An hour later, doctors pronounced him dead. Cops are investigating the death but see no signs of foul play.
*Update* TMZ has spoken with law enforcement who gave them a more detailed account of Heavy D’s last moments:

Heavy D had just returned from shopping and walked up some stairs when he began having trouble breathing.  Adam Mills, a designer who was in the building and knew Heavy D, found him leaning against a railing and clearly in distress.  Adam tells us he cradled Heavy D in his lap as others called 911.  Adam says Heavy D was conscious and said to him, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.”  When paramedics took Heavy D to the hospital he had a pulse.  People in the building are saying he died of a heart attack, but we have not been able to confirm that.  Law enforcement sources tell us … no foul play was involved and so far they only know the cause of death was “medical.”

Check out his last performance...He will be greatly missed...
