Missed the Kevin Smith story - and reading his Instagram post, there’s something....uplifting about what he writes. “I don’t want my life to end but, if it does, I can’t complain. It’s been a gift.”

If you can't have a chuckle at these then you don't have a pulse;
No 2 and 5 - bloody great.

'Flava In Ya Ear' rapper Craig Mack dead at 46:
Rapper Craig Mack has passed away at the age of 46, with the likes of Funkmaster Flex, Biz Markie and DJ Scratch paying tribute
Havent heard his recent stuff but track was a BANGAH back in the day. Was apparently working on a collab with Erick Sermon at the time of his death.

He had a complex relationship with this first wife and she had an affair, with his permission.
Hawking later left his wife for his nurse.
She was suspected to be abusing him, but he'd never admit it. That also ended in divorce.
Oh, and he liked them tiddy bars:
"Hawking became a regular at Stringfellows strip club in London, and the proprietor recalls a hilarious run-in with the professor one night.
“I went and introduced myself and said, ‘Mr. Hawking, it’s an honor to meet you. If you could spare a minute or two, I’d love to chat with you about the universe,’” Stringfellow recalled.
“Then I paused for a bit and joked, ‘Or would you rather look at the girls?’
“There was silence for a moment, and then he answered, ‘The Girls.’”

Oh, I see.
Yeah, it's quicker listing 80s celebs that weren't dodgy these days!
Dodd had the whole tax-dodging thing, of which he was acquitted when they discovered he was a bit paranoid and had hidden suitcases of cash in his house.
Brilliantly, he married his long-term partner 2 days before he died, meaning the Tax Man won't get his hands on about £2m of Dodd's estate!
Dodd once joked: "'I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe a penny because I lived near the seaside'"
