You can still follow your dreams as she is becoming a star again by working for the Food Network and other sources to distribute her program focusing on healthy eating.

Yeah I liked Valerie Bertinelli, but my favourite at that time was Linda Carter.

David Bowie

[NewOrleansLion]

Yep, she was a natural beauty top to bottom. A fine example of Italian craftsmanship!

David Bowie has died from a battle with cancer. He was 69.

RIP Ziggy Stardust, ALLADIN Sane, thin white duke,,,,,,,,,

There were rumors for a long time that he was dying but he was still working, he just put out an album.

[Drew]

Fame and Young American were two of my favorites. RIP.

[Cody_Russell]

Very sad.

I don't know Bowie that well for his music outside of a few big songs (given my age), but I do remember him for his minor role in "The Prestige." He played Nikola Telsa in that movie. That was my favorite movie in high school for a couple months. I even did a project in my AP Europian History class about Telsa because of David Bowie's role.
Oh and his part in "Zoolander" of course

But not the Labyrinth?!

I was never into his music much. There are a few songs I like. But I recognize his influence everywhere. And I blame him for most of the bands that came out of the 80s.

[froot loops]

I like how Bowie kept churning out music and most of it was quality stuff where he was trying to explore new stuff. He will be missed, this one sucks.

[CGVT]

I didn't know he was sick. Tough loss...

[froot loops]

Apparently he was fighting cancer for 18 months. They were rumors 3 years back that he was near death but they were just tumors, but the implication was that he was not well. He had essentially retired from touring. I had read about a year back that when he was recording this last album that he told his guys that they would never tour with this music.

But it doesn't sound like he told many, Brian Eno didn't know.
