Alex Rocco – the actor best known for his performance as Moe Greene in the 1972 classic The Godfather – has passed away at the age of 79. Rocco’s daughter broke the news to fans on her Facebook page last night. No cause of death has been given. In addition to his small but memorable performance as a sleazy tycoon in Francis Ford Coppola’s beloved mob epic, Greene will be remembered for his long career as a revered character actor, during which he racked up more than 160 credits. Rocco won an Emmy for his role on the short-lived 1990 Jon Cryer sitcom, Famous Teddy Z. His famous, gravelly voice is recognizable to Simpsons fans as that of Itchy & Scratchy producer Roger Myer Jr. During his fifty years in the industry, Rocco also made appearances on such popular series as The Rockford Files, Starsky and Hutch, The Facts of Life, Private Practice and Episodes. Throughout his long career, Rocco never complained of being typecast as a tough-talking mobster. In fact, it’s a role he spent much of his early life preparing for. Prior to moving to Hollywood to pursue acting, Rocco had loose ties to the Boston mob and even spent some time in prison. He happily discussed his troubled youth in interviews and often said it was instrumental in helping to shape his onscreen persona. Several celebrities have already paid tribute to Rocco on social media, and he’ll be remembered by many as one of the most colorful character actors in film history. Rocco is survived by his, actress Shannon Wilcox, as well as, daughter, son and one grandson. Click through our gallery below for a full list of celebrities we’ve lost in 2015 .

Josh Duggar has become a father for the fourth time. The controversial reality star announced on Twitter today that wife Anna has given birth to a girl named Meredith; she weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz. and measured 20.5 inches in length. Duggar also included the following photo of father, daughter and mother along with the confirmation message: “Announcing the arrival of Meredith Grace Duggar!” Josh Tweeted. “Anna and Meredith are resting & doing well!” Meredith joins Marcus, 2, Michael, 4, and Mackynzie, 5, in Anna and Josh’s immediate family. Josh and Anna have been married since 2008 and announced their latest pregnancy in December, coming out with their daughter’s gender four months later. Josh Duggar, of course, has been in the news for several weeks now… for reasons that have nothing to do with impending fatherhood. He admitted in May to sexually molesting multiple young girls back when he was a teenager, a handful of whom were his own sisters. “I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” Josh said in a statement on May 21, adding: “I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation…I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life.” Anna Duggar then came out in support of her husband, telling the world a week later that she forgives him. TLC, however, immediately yanked 19 Kids and Counting off its schedule and just announced its official cancelation on July 16. Meredith, meanwhile, will soon have a little cousin: Josh’s sister, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald is also expecting.

This is one of the sickest most digusting f***boy teachers we’ve ever posted about NY High School Teacher Arrested For Sex With 6 Students And More Via NYDailyNews He is the vilest pervert teacher New York has ever seen. A sex-crazed Brooklyn educator had intercourse with several female students, took them to sex clubs and nude beaches and handed out straight A’s to a girl he was sleeping with, prosecutors said Tuesday. The debauchery of Sean Shaynak, 44, came to light after the math and physics teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School was charged in August with sending a picture of his private parts to a 16-year-old student. But that was only the beginning of the lurid misdeeds prosecutors accuse the divorced father of a 9-year-old daughter of carrying out. They include: Get ready, this list is hella long. Taking a 15-year-old to a nude beach in New Jersey without permission and plying her with vodka, tequila and whisky until she passed out at his home. Exchanging some 10,000 text messages with that same girl, in which he asked her to participate in lesbian sex with another student and told her about his experience with a ménage-à-trois and gay sex. Giving another student perfect grades “regardless of the fact she did not do any assignments and left tests blank,” said prosecutor Joseph Mancino. Forcing himself on that 18-year-old student when she resisted his attempt at intercourse. Carrying on a “four-month sexual relationship” with yet another teen, which included a trip to an out-of-state gay-themed sex club where she watched him getting “serviced” by other men. Taking that student on what prosecutors described as a “terror ride” from Queens to Brooklyn that ended with her hiding in the bushes and her teacher screaming and banging on his car. “He threatened to tell her parents,” Mancino said. Sending full-frontal photos to four students, two of whom were minors. Storing an extensive library of p***ography in his computer, which included bestiality — sex acts between humans and dogs, horses and goats. “It is shocking that a public high school teacher allegedly sexually preyed on vulnerable students,” Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson said in a statement. Uh, ya think?? The teacher is facing 25 years in prison for the top charge in a 36-count indictment that accuses him of kidnapping, criminal sex act and other crimes — including obscenity, forcible touching and unlawful imprisonment — against a total of six girls, ages 13 to 19. He’s looking at a much longer potential penalty due to the multiple alleged incidents. Shaynak, of Flatbush, has been teaching for five years at the Fort Greene high school attended by Mayor de Blasio’s son Dante, although a student told The News that the famous student did not take classes with him. How bout we just toss the justice system aside for a second and just tie this guy to a stake and stone him to death? Image via Facebook
