Michael Jackson and Madonna – Two Beloved 80s Stars

Michael Jackson costumes will be hot this Halloween. And I think that's great! It's totally acceptable to dress up as Michael. That's a fine tribute to his memory.

This is especially true if you consider "Thriller". Isn't this the ultimate Halloween song?

It's been 3 months since The King of Pop's untimely death and in another month "This Is It! The Movie" will be released in theaters across the country at the end of October.

I am saddened by all the sensational news coverage of Michael and his family over the last three months and glad it has started to die down.

Throughout history great men, and women have been vilified and attacked by the media, by those who did not understand. Many great people have been misunderstood!

So just remember you media people, you radio talk show hosts, you rag "entertainment magazine" publishers, you "so-called" reporters, TMZ, the Enquirer and others, these our our beloved icons. We are a powerful force! You attach them, you attack us.

So, save your sensational journalism for the reality TV stars and leave Kirstie Alley alone. Leave Michael Jackson alone. Leave Elizabeth Taylor alone. Leave Madonna alone. Leave the late Patrick Swayze alone. Leave Michael J. Fox alone.

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57 – He Will Be Missed

I just heard the news about the death of Patrick Swayze today, September 14th, 2009. It's very sad news indeed.

My impressions of Mr. Swayze are of a man who was always a fighter, fighting the deadly cancer that finally claimed his life.

I have heard that he was always very gracious and friendly with he fans.

Patrick Swayze is recognized as an accomplished actor, dancer and singer. His talents will be truly missed.

We are blessed with some absolutely awesome movies, though. Two of my favorites are Red Dawn and The Outsiders.

Our sympathies are with Mr. Swayze's family and friends.

Please take some time, sit down and watch one of his movies. Maybe Point Break or Dirty Dancing.

And, please do not waste your money on garbage like The National Enquirer, The Star, The Globe or any of those other rags that can't leave our 80s Icons alone!
