This is the blog I had dreaded doing. I knew it was coming, but I also knew that the day it happened, I would be really sad. When someone lives a long life, you can always say, well, they lived a long life. In cases like DJ AM, you wonder if survivor guilt drove him back to his addiction.

Wow, how do you even start a blog about someone like Ted Kennedy, who passed away yesterday at the age of 77 from brain cancer? He' served nine terms as a senator for the state of Massachusetts.

Director/writer John Hughes never won an Oscar. In fact, he never came close - he was never nominated for an Oscar. Or, a Golden Globe for that matter. Or much of anything. The only award I could find on the Internet Movie Database was the ShoWest Producer of the Year award in 1991.

I'm sorry if it seems that, in the last few months, the Pop Culture blog has become more of the Dead Celebrity blog, but we have lost so many great personalities. Today, we lost another as Walter Cronkite died at the age of 92.

It has been a rough few weeks for Hollywood. Right on the heels of David Carradine's June 3rd death came the news of Ed McMahon's death on June 23rd.

King of Pop Michael Jackson Dead at 50

My pop culture head is literally spinning. When Ed McMahon passed away a few days ago, I was sad, but I knew many young readers wouldn't remember Ed other than his financial problems of late. When Farrah Fawcett passed away today, again, I was sad, but knew that she was not in good shape.

Farrah Fawcett Dies at 62

Much like Ed McMahon's recent death, everyone had to be expecting to hear the news of Farrah Fawcett's death and today, she became a true angel at the age of 62. The actress had been battling anal cancer.

You had to know this was coming, but it is still sad to see a television icon pass away. Ed McMahon died at the age of 86 at the Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center just a little after midnight last Monday.
