Quentin Hapsburg is dead? Aw man. He was really old though, and quite ill.

POP-PA...

Goulet was only 73. He died awaiting a lung transplant, the poor bastard.

I wish I hadn't bought all those Emerald Nuts.

Porn star Haley Paige, dead at 25. The cause of death is either unknown or unreleased, but it is heavily rumored that she either overdosed on heroin or was murdered by her husband Volt Inkyo Hwang, who directed porn under the name Chico "Wanker" Wang.

Haley's death was not confirmed until October 1st, when a family member told Adult Video News that she had passed away and been buried in a small private ceremony. At that point, she had not been seen in over 2 months and rumors of her death were heavily circulating on the internet. The coroner's report listed Paige's date of death as August 21st. Hwang had been arrested on June 29, 2007 on charges related to beating and kidnapping Haley, but the charges were dropped and Hwang was released on July 3, 2007. Haley and Hwang then married on August 2, 2007.

Hwang was found dead in Californian Hotel Room on September 29th, an apparent suicide.

I heard about that whole scandal. Another dark chapter in the world of pornography... It was also a really crappy hotel room.

Dick Wilson, best known as Mr. Whipple from the Charmin ads. Dead at 91.

So I don't have to lock my doors at night to prevent my toilet paper from being molested? Yay.

Seriously though, Mr. Whipple is very iconic, or at least he always was for me. I never even directly saw any commercials with him until I was older, but it was just one of those things that I picked up from shit that I watched and read.

And he was immortalized in the Weird Al song "Dare To Be Stupid", which was featured in Transformers: The Movie for no apparent reason.

There were a lot of songs in there had didn't have much place, but that made me love the movie more. "Transformers" by Lion often gets stuck in me head and it's delicious, especially to yell out "Transformerrrrrrrrrrrs!" during work.

Kevin DuBrow, Quiet Riot singer dead at 52

In memory of Kevin, here's Twilight Hotel, which is the best music video they ever did. Unfortunately, the song is absolutely terrible:

Here's Metal Health, live at U.S. Festival '83

Cum On Feel The Noize live in New Jersey, from April 2007:

Finally, here's Party All Night.
The Beastie Boys completely ripped off this video when they did the video for Fight For Your Right To Party:

Posted: Nov 26 2007 07:36 pm

That's a drag. I was never a Quiet Riot fan, but when I think of how many kids got into metal because of "Metal Health", I get bummed.

RIP, man.

Also, in a seemingly unrelated vein, the guitarist for Hawthorne Heights died today:

Two musician deaths in one day? Odd indeed. While I may detest Hawthorne Heights, I won't be a dick about it, and say that it sucks for this guy's fans, friends, and family.

Man, what a sad day for rock and metal. At least now, he's with his old buddy Randy, jammin' in heaven
