A.J. Pero, the lead drummer for rock band Twisted Sister, was found dead on Friday in Poughkeepsie, New York. He was 55 years old. According to multiple outlets, Pero was found unresponsive on the group’s tour bus and pronounced dead soon afterward at a nearby hospital. It is believed he passed away from a heart attack. “The members of Twisted Sister are profoundly saddened to announce the untimely passing of our brother, AJ Pero,” the group announced on Facebook this afternoon. “The band, crew and most importantly the family of AJ Pero thank you for your thoughts and prayers at this time.” Pero joined Twisted Sister in 1982; departed the band in 1986; and returned in 1997. He played on all but one of the beloved hair metal band’s studio albums. Via statement, singer Dee Snider referred to Pero as “the final piece in a band that would become an international sensation, adding: “His sledgehammer assault on the drums helped drive Twisted Sister and I to greatness, and inspired me to rock every single show. My heart breaks knowing I will never feel the power of his beat behind me, or turn to see his face smiling broadly from the sheer joy he got from doing what he loved.” Celebrities We Lost in 2015 1.

Lesley Gore, the singer/songwriter who was best known for her infectious 1963 hit “It’s My Party,” passed away today at the age 68. Gore recorded “Party” when she was just 16, and though she’s commonly regarded as a flash-in-the-pan pop star, she used her early success to build a widely-respected songwriting career, even earning an Academy Award nomination for her work on the film Fame in 1980. Gore recorded several other hits throughout her career, including the feminist anthem “You Don’t Own Me,” and the bouncy Marvin Hamlisch classic “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows.” Despite all of her success, however, “It’s My Party” has remained Gore’s signature hit throughout her career.

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bob Simon, a long-time CBS reporter and ongoing 60 Minutes correspondent, was killed in a car accident on Wednesday night in New York City, according to the network for which he worked. Simon was 73 years old. Details are still coming in, but the veteran reporter is believed to have been the passenger in a Lincoln town car that was struck on the West Side Highway by a Mercedes Benz. The town car subsequently ran into the middle barrier of the highway. The driver was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while the driver of the Mercedes was unharmed. Tragically, however, Simon was taken to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, but doctors there were unable to save his life. Following nearly two decades at 60 Minutes, Simon won a total of six Emmy Awards, most recently in 2012 for his work on the segment “Joy in the Congo.” He also won a Peabody award for international reporting on CBS News.

Mayim Bialik and Michael Stone Divorce

“Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children. It is not something we have decided lightly,” Mayim Bialik writes. The former star of TV#39;s Blossom, 36, also says that the split is not due to the attachment parenting she discusses in her book Beyond the Sling. “Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose,” she says. After “much consideration and soul-searching,” Mayim Bialik announced Wednesday that she and husband Michael Stone are divorci

Time Isn’t The First To Feature ‘Extreme Parenting’

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The shocking breastfeeding cover is the latest of several depictions of ‘attachment’ parenting. By Kara Warner Whether or not it was intended to cause immediate controversy, this week’s Time magazine cover is the epitome of shock and awe. The photo depicts Los Angeles mother Jamie Lynne Grumet breastfeeding her 3-year-old son. Needless to say, the image is a striking one and has caused a media storm. As surprising as it may be to see a young mother breastfeeding her toddler, the story isn’t as out-of-the-blue as it may seem. There have been several recent examples of the so-called “attachment” and “extreme” parenting that have popped up in the cultural zeitgeist. Here’s what we’ve noticed: Celebs do it too “Gossip Girl” star Kelly Rutherford and “Big Bang Theory” actress Mayim Bialik both made headlines when they revealed publicly that they breastfed their toddlers; Rutherford even more so because she revealed her stance on the subject back in 2008. Bialik, who, in addition to being an actress and mother, is a neuroscientist, did extensive research on the subject and wrote a book about it: “Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way.” It’s seen on TV If you happen to watch HBO’s medieval fantasy epic “Game of Thrones” or caught Adam Sandler’s “Grown Ups” in theaters, you witnessed two instances of older-than-average children still being breastfed by their mothers. It should be noted that in both the Time article and Bialik’s book, the case is made for how the practice is becoming more accepted and that the women who choose to continue breastfeeding are basing their decisions on sound logic. In contrast, in the recent examples on TV and in film, the mothers are portrayed as crazy or unstable. Some don’t find it that extreme Beloved “Clueless” actress Alicia Silverstone raised more than a few eyebrows when she posted a video on her website that showed Silverstone pre-chewing food which her son then ate directly out of her mouth. Silverstone later defended the practice as having thousands of years of history behind it. Another case is the disciplinary tactic of “hot-saucing,” in which parents put hot sauce on their children’s tongues as a form of punishment for unwanted behavior. The concept made headlines last year when a mother in Alaska faced child abuse charges after the “Dr. Phil” show aired video of the mom punishing her child with “hot-saucing.” The practice has a surprise celeb supporter in Lisa Whelchel, who played Blair on the TV show “The Facts of Life.” What did you think of Time ‘s cover?
