Death Week---6/22/09 to 6/28/09

This past week, it was a week of despair, a week of sadness, and a week of loss. No one thought not one, two, three, but 4 celebrities would die in the same week. No one saw this coming. Especially celebrities in Hollywood, they were in complete shock.

Ed McMahon (died June 23, 2009)-He was that one famous person who is the "sidekick" of Legendary Talk Show Host Johnny Carson (RIP). He always says his drawn-out line "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeres JOHNNY!" whenever The Tonight Show start in the past decades. He also participated in various charities, and hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethon (which airs every Labor Day). Ed was 86 years old.

Farrah Fawcett (died June 25, 2009)-She was the "international sex symbol" in the 70's and 80's. She was the "original" Charlie's Angel. She was very beautiful. Everyone admired her hair, the "Farrah-do". She was diagnosed with anal cancer and she became very brave. She did a documentary about her battle against her cancer. Unforunately, she lost her battle. Farrah was 62 years old.

Michael Jackson (died June 25, 2009, hours after Fawcett)- He was the King Of Pop. Known for selling billions and billions of albums. And was also known for being a little controversial. Michael Jackson was world-famous. His death has shocked the universe. Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest suddenly, two weeks before starting his tour in England. He left a hole in every fan's soul. Michael was 50 years old.

Billy Mays (died Today, June 28, 2009) He was famously known as "that one OxiClean guy on TV". He was the "Informercial King". Billy Mays did various infomercials such as FixIt, Kaboom, OrangeGlo, Zorbeez, MightyMendit, and others more. Billy Mays died of an unknown cause (as of yet), he was found unresponsive by his wife earlier that morning. No one will see the future of informercials again. Billy was 50 years old.

As we all take a moment of silence, these celebrities have the right to be honored, for all the work they have done to influence our lives and the past forever.
