Freaky Friday

I know that it is Thursday, but what the hell...I couldn't wait until tomorrow for my Friday rant.

**MICHAEL JACKSON**

I was hanging out on my porch listening to WEEI sports radio when the announcer said, "According to TMZ, Michael Jackson is dead."

My jaw dropped... Is he kidding?? Shocker, shocker!

In the past few years, MJ, I will admit was really creepy/weird, but as a child of the '80s he was a HUGE icon to me (and Madonna too). I still listen to his music today, ie. Thriller and Billy Jean. Good bye MJ! Dead at 50. 

Although, I have conspiracy theories...

Perhaps, MJ is now chilling in Tahiti with Elvis and Tu Pac? Something to think about...

(Anything is possible, right?)

**FARRAH FAWCETT**

What a beautiful woman! One of Charlie's Angel is in heaven.

I was so oblivious. 

I knew that she had cancer, but I did not know that she was on her death bed.

RIP Farrah! Dead at 62.

**ED MCMAHON**

Known as Johnny Carson's side kick (Heeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!), Ed died at the age of 86.

Without him, we wouldn't have had Star Search

or those great American Family Publishers (not Publishers Clearing House) 

commercials where he'd hand out large checks to surprised winners.

Fun Fact: He was raised in Lowell, Mass.

Ok. I am DONE talking about death. Here is some lighter subject matter:

**Stoned Wallabies responsible for Crop Circles?**

Ummmm, what?!?! Apparently, Wallabies in Tasmania are getting "strung out" on opium by munching on the poppy fields crops. They hop around in circles, creating crop circles. 

You know, the ones Aliens are usually blamed for?

(This story was brought to my attention from my pal Heather via her uncle.)

**Dumbledore had a baby!**

Well at least the 68 year old actor who plays him (Sir Michael Gambon) and 43 year old set designer Philippa Hart did.

But wait...I haven't gotten to the really weird part...

This is the second child for the "couple" as they already have a two year old.

But wait, there's more...

It seems Dumbledore, I mean Sir Gambon, has a wife (Lady Gambon) to whom he has been married to for 45 years. The wife knows ALL about this 2nd relationship and is cool with it. Apparently, he splits his time between them.... Wow!

**Jon + Kate = Divorce**

It is official. Jon and Kate are calling it quits. May they get peace they deserve to move on with their lives. I will hold out hope that they will reconcile...

That's it for this week. Hopefully we'll have some better stuff happening next week.

PS - 22 days until HP 6!
