Celebrity Buzz The pro-wrestling coach, character actor, and best live Mario to ever grace childhood memories everywhere passed away this morning at 76. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and - most of all - for using rubber bands on his facial hair.
In the tradition of immediate satire following tragedy, there's this. …But, really, this is neither 'hair' nor there. (Oof!)
It's was sorta like the way Michael stole Farrah's thunder.

After 70 years of caped crusades, DC Comics is killing off Batman in the next issue of the series. The current Batman writer, Grant Morrison, says, “What I am doing is a fate worse than death.” Does that mean no chance at resurrection this time?
Science Buzz We’d like to inaugurate a new holiday in memory of Rupert the deer, who passed away yesterday. Rupert, we hardly knew ye.
Celebrity Buzz The actor is dead at age 83. After a long battle with cancer, the actor and activist died Saturday at his home in Westport, Connecticut.
An angry but real obituary that recently ran in the Times-Herald of Napa/Sonoma. “Dolores had no real hobbies,” it reads, “made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life.” Not surprisingly, there will no service (or prayers, or closure).
Politics Buzz Arkansas Democratic Party Chair Bill Gwatney was shot and killed at his office in Little Rock. Gwatney, a good friend of the Clintons and a major figure in Arkansas, was murdered by Timothy Dale Johnson, a man who’d been fired from his job at Target just yesterday morning. Police shot and killed Johnson after a 30 mile chase, though the question of why he did it remains unanswered.
Celebrity Buzz The actor and comedian died of complications from pneumonia at age 50. A talented performer beloved both inside and outside of Hollywood, Bernie Mac will most definitely be missed.
Movie Buzz As more reviews of The Dark Knight keep rolling in, Heath Ledger as the Joker is getting all the attention. Peter Travers’ review in Rolling Stone kicked off the Oscar chatter, but most other people who’ve seen the movie seem to agree that Leger is amazing in the role.
Style Buzz Twenty-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova fell to her death from her downtown New York apartment building yesterday in an apparent suicide. Known as “The Russian Rapunzel” Korshunova — originally of Almaty, Kazakhstan — had been featured in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior. Her tragic death seems to have come as an absolute surprise to friends and family, who claimed she seemed to be “on top of the world,” though some reports suggest that she had shown her distress in posts on a social networking site.
Style Buzz Fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent died today in Paris at age 71. The designer who retired in 2002 had been suffering from a long illness. The man who popularized the beatnik look, tight pants, thigh high boots, and the tuxedo suit for women once said: “You have to regard every fashion with humor, to be above it, believe in it enough to give the impression of living it but not too much, so that you keep your freedom.”
Movie Buzz The director — best known for Tootsie and Out of Africa — died on Monday in Los Angeles. Pollack, 73, died of cancer at his home in Pacific Palisades. He made his biggest mark as a director, but was always great in the small actor roles he took on, from Eyes Wide Shut to Michael Clayton. Here’s his awesome scene with Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.
