Marian McPartland Dies; Jazz Pianist Was 95

Marian McPartland, a renowned jazz pianist and longtime host of the National Public Radio show “Piano Jazz,” has died at the age of 95. McPartland died of natural causes last night at her Port Washington home on Long Island, said NPR spokeswoman Anna Christopher Bross. In a career spanning more than six decades, McPartland became a fixture in the jazz world as a talented musician and well-loved radio personality. “Retire? Why retire? I’ve got a job, I’m making money, I like what I do. Why retire?” she asked in 2009. “I think I’ll jump out of a cake, or something.” Born Margaret Marian Turner in England, she began playing piano at age 3. At 17, she was accepted to the prestigious Guildhall School of Music. During World War II, while playing for Allied troops and their British equivalents, she met her husband, cornetist Jimmy McPartland. He died in 1991. The couple came to live in New York in 1953, and McPartland landed a gig in a trio at the Hickory House, a bustling jazz hub on 52nd Street. McPartland recorded more than 50 albums for the Concord Jazz label and played in venues across the country, before gaining an even bigger audience. In 1978, McPartland brought her talent for composition and status as a jazz insider to radio, and began hosting the Peabody Award-winning “Piano Jazz.” On the air, she and her guests sat at separate pianos, reminiscing, ad-libbing, and playing duets and solos. She hosted hundreds of jazz professionals. Charming, energetic, and always ready for a musical adventure, McPartland was well-suited to the role of live radio host, entertaining audiences for many years. R.I.P.

But here’s the good news for this reality star: her husband’s wandering penis could make her a rich woman! According to the latest issue of Life & Style , Khloe and Lamar did sign a prenuptial agreement… but it includes a clause that permits Khloe to earn a chunk of Odom’s fortune if he cheats on her. “With both mistresses coming out, she can’t handle much more,” a friend tells the tabloid . “If more women come forward, she will [file for divorce].” Odom is worth nearly three times as much as Khloe due to his long-standing professional basketball career.

Insiders also claim Kris is the one encouraging Khloe to stick with Lamar . What do YOU think Khloe should do? Ought she divorce her supposedly lying husband?   Yes, he’s obviously a cheater!

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky: New Couple Alert?!

Rihanna has been hooking up with rapper A$AP Rocky, according to reports, and not while cameras are rolling for their upcoming music video for “Work.” Things are reportedly heating up between them off set as well, with insiders citing the “obvious chemistry” and “mutual attraction” to each other. Chris Brown may want to avert his eyes and distract himself by listening to Alanis Morissette or actually doing his community service for once. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky The seriousness of any Rihanna-A$AP Rocky relationship is highly questionable, of course, as the music star is constantly flirting with guys. She’s also a celebrity gossip mainstay who loves to spark speculation and tease the masses with hints of what she’s doing on social media. Still, one wonders if she’s finally ready to let Chris go. Rihanna and Brown still “love and respect each other,” sources say, but he’s likely back with Karrueche , so her moving on wouldn’t be a big shock. A$AP Rocky seems like as good a catch as any, right? Stylish, talented and good-looking, he compliments her well … enough for a video at least. What do you think? Can you see them as a couple?
