    I debated posting this one, but I was afraid he was too narrowly famous.

    Good ol' Ethan Rayne.

    Apparently in the past two years, there have been five people from Celebrity Rehab that have succumbed to their addiction and died following their appearance on the show.

    Sorry Qrazy. At least his son confirms his final film will be released after audio post is finished, so his legacy will have one last chapter.

    R.I.P. Hugo Chávez

    Although I'm under the impression he probably died some time before they decided to spread the news.

    Chavez was the victim of a deadly cancer attack instigated by the CIA, FBI, JAM, ACLU, AMA, KKK, KFC, QFC, the UN, and the Trilateral Commission.

    TMZ is saying that Lil Wayne is being read his last rites with family at his bedside. Codeine induced seizures.

    It seems that TMZ retracted the "last rights" statement. Details are sketchy, but it does now appear he isn't dying. At least not yet.

    Reading the comments online to the news stories is sickening. People are such dicks.

    Yeah looks like this was TMZ jumping the gun. Hopefully good news.

    6:30 PM PT -- Sources at the hospital tell us Wayne is still in critical condition in the ICU ... but stabilizing.

    We're told the prognosis is uncertain.

    Wayne is sleeping right now ... which is odd, because he just tweeted saying he's OK and thanking people for the prayers and love.

    Count me among those who found Things Fall Apart transformative. One of the few latter half of the 20th-century writers who clearly impacted a country (and multiple countries, at that) with his work.

    Anyone read any of his other fiction? Recommendations?

    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
