She was only 66 years old. We still don’t know exactly what happened to Antonia, but we do know that her family is devastated by the loss, which is obviously huge. Teresa shared the above photo on Instagram, and the caption she wrote is enough to break your heart. “She will forever be missed and cherished in my heart!” she said. “Because of her I will find the strength to continue life’s jourtney. My mother, my confidant, my best friend, my everything.” “Until we meet again … I love you mommy.” She also shared a photo of Antonia, her children, and her grandchildren, writing “I miss my mommy so much.” In another, she wrote “Always there for us & forever in our hearts.” She even shared this collage of photos: Along with the photo she said “Thank you for the love and support during this extremely difficult time.

I watched Joe & Teresa sit by her side for the last three months, the heart in this family is strong & she will live in our hearts forever.” Teresa’s fellow Real Housewife Jacqueline Laurita even shared a thoughtful message on Instagram, which is notable since Teresa and Jacqueline have had their issues in the past . “Tenderly may time heal your sorrow.

Elsewhere In The World: Family Claims That “Clinically Dead” Indian Woman Was Wrongfully Burned Alive

Posted on March 3, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

“Clinically Dead” Indian Woman Allegedly Burned Alive In Cremation Yikes! An family in Indian is grieving the loss of 24-year-old Rachna Sisodia, who doctors declared clinically dead after she was admitted with symptoms of a severe lung infection. But to make matters worse, Rachna was cremated on a funeral pyre and the family believes that she might have still been alive to feel the whole thing. According to MetroUK , they might just be right: Her husband, Devesh Chaudhury took her to a funeral pyre with some friends and burned her body. But someone in the crowd thought that she was still alive so she was pulled out of the fire. Her official cause of death was ‘cardiorespiratory arrest and acute respiratory distress syndrome’. However, her post-mortem examination revealed there was ash in her lungs suggesting that she was alive when she was put onto a funeral pyre the following day by husband Devesh Chaudhary and his friends. Oopsie-daisy. The diagnosing doctors refute the claim in an TimesOfIndia report: “She was put on oxygen support in the ICU. We timely updated patient’s attendants about health condition. Her health condition worsened and she stopped responding to treatment at the night of February 25,” he said. “We conducted a CPR at 11 pm. The blood pressure and pulse were non-functional. We did not receive any symptom of life in the body. We conducted all required medical tests before declaring her clinically dead at 11:45 pm,” said the doctor. To make things even WORSE, Rachna’s uncle believes that familial foul play is afoot: However, the Rachna’s uncle Kailash Singh accused her husband Devesh and 11 relatives of raping and killing her. He said that she had been reported missing on December 13. Police are said to be investigating but all of the men in the family have fled the area. Sounds SUPER shady on multiple fronts. Sad way to have to mourn the loss of such a loved one. Image via Instagram

Bill Paxton Dies; Beloved Actor Was 61

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bill Paxton – the actor known for a wide array of roles over the course of his 40-year career in Hollywood – has passed away unexpectedly. He was 61 years old. Paxton’s family broke the news of the beloved TV and film star’s death in a statement issued just moments ago. “It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery,” the statement reads. Details are scarce, and the statement offered no information with regard to the nature of the surgical procedure. Paxton starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of the ’80s and ’90s, including Twister, Titanic, and Aliens. He also gave unforgettable performances in a number of highly-acclaimed films that have since come to be considered classics. Tombstone, Apollo 13, and A Simple Plan are just a few of Bill’s roles that made him one of the all-time greats in the business. In addition to his film work, Paxton was also a highly regarded television actor, especially within the last decade. He played the lead in HBO’s critically-acclaimed and fan-beloved polygamy drama Big Love for five seasons. Paxton was also nominated an Emmy for his work in the 2012 miniseries The Hatfields and the McCoys. Bill was starring in the CBS series Training Day at the time of his death. “Bill’s passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable,” the statement from the Paxton family reads. Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1955, Paxton was present at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. A photo of an 8-year-old Bill being lifted onto his father’s shoulders still hangs in a museum commemorating the assassination. Paxton played a number of bit parts in low-budget films upon first moving to Hollywood before landing his big break. It was after making the acquaintance of a young director named James Cameron on the set 1984’s The Terminator that his career really took off. Paxton went on to star in some of Cameron’s best-known films, including Titanic, a movie that shattered every box office record in the books. Upon its release in 1997, no film had made nearly as much money as the epic love story, which remains a classic two decades later. Among action film fanatics, Paxton’s varied and widely successful body of work has earned him this fun distinction:  View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam He is one of only two actors to be confronted by a Terminator (The Terminator), a Xenomorph (Aliens), and a Predator (Predator 2). Tributes to Paxton from family, friends, and fans began pouring in on Twitter just minutes after news of his death went public. Instantly, grieving fans have made him the world’s number one trending topic, which is a testament to the impact of his life. Paxton is survived by a wife and two children. Our thoughts are with them and all of his family and friends at this time. R.I.P. UPDATE : The actor reportedly underwent heart surgery and died of a stroke afterward, according to TMZ.

Judge Wapner Dies; Iconic People’s Court Host Was 97

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

More sad news today out of the television world. A few hours after we learned that Bill Paxton died at the age of 61, due to complications after heart surgery, TMZ is reporting that Jospeh Wapner has also passed away. The retired judge rose to surprise TV stardom as the host of The People’s Court. He was 97 years old. Long before Judge Judy and many others in this profession used the small screen to take their career to a new and famous level, Judge Wapner sat on the bench in September of 1981 at the front of The People Court. In many ways, it was the first reality show of all-time. And Wapner earned instant fandom as its clear-cut star. Opinionated, intelligent, affable and humorous, Wapner led the series for 12 years and 2,484 total episodes. He earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of his work in the entertainment space. . The program itself was parodied on Saturday Night Live. In Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman was often quoted as his character of Raymond for saying there were only “three minutes to Wapner,” an expression that took on a life of its own for years. Prior to signing on as a television judge, Wapner served as an L.A. County Superior Court judge for over two decades. According to TMZ insiders, he was hospitalized last week after suffering a few breathing problems. The condition sadly grew worsen, prompting a transfer to his home in Los Angeles on Friday, February 24, at which time Wapner was placed hospice care. He passed away on Sunday morning. After The People’s Court was canceled in 1993, it aired in syndication until it was revived for a second incarnation in September 1997. For this version, former attorney and mayor of New York Ed Koch replaced Wapner for two seasons and was later succeeded by Judge Jerry Sheindlin and Florida State Circuit Court Judge Marilyn Milian, the latter of whom has since become the show’s longest-reigning arbiter. Wapner is survived by his wife of 70 years, Mickey Wapner, and their three children. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam

Luke Bryan Mourns Death of Infant Niece

Posted on February 23, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Luke Bryan has spoken out in the wake of his latest family tragedy. On Tuesday, the country artist sadly lost his niece Sadie Brett Boyer, who born last summer with a number of cardiac problems. The young girl was the daughter of Luke’s wife’s brother, Bo Boyer, and his wife, Ellen, the latter of whom often provided updates on the child’s health via her Facebook page. And, on Monday, Ellen shared that her daughter “declined overnight.” Sadie was reportedly being treated at the time for an infection that affected her liver. “Please flood the heavens with prayers,” Ellen wrote to friends and family members. “We will not give up on our tough, brave Brett.” Unfortunately, however, the baby lost her battle and passed away yesterday. “We thank all of you for your prayers,” the country crooner wrote to his 8.34 million followers in response to their support in the wake of this development. “Love y’all,” he added. According to mom Ellen’s Facebook account, Sadie had been seeking treatments in a Nashville hospital for her condition. On Thursday, February 16, Ellen informed followers that Sadie had her “best week this yet,” adding: “I am so so grateful and so proud of our girl. She’s fighting so hard!” Three days later, though, Ellen revealed that her daughter’s health had taken a sharp decline. “Brett seems to have an infection of some sort. The team is leaning toward blood infection/sepsis. Her blood pressures and her temp have been really low today and got pretty scary low around 3,” she wrote. “ “She is on several antibiotics so our prayer is that they will be the correct ones to treat this infection. … Please pray for the team as they work hard to help our girl.” This isn’t the first time the 40-year-old country artist has dealt with a family tragedy. Bryan’s brother, Chris, was died in a car accident in 1995 at the age of 26. Moreover, his sister, Kelly, passed away in 2007 at her home of undetermined causes. She was only 39 years old at the time. “My only siblings gone from the world in a flash, in two different, crazy, tragic manners,” Bryan told ABC News in 2013. A year later, he said in another interview, when these unbearable losses were brought up: “Losing my brother changed me tremendously and losing Kelly, even more. I literally do not take one second for granted.” Luke Bryan National Anthem Performance: How Did He Do? We truly cannot imagine suffering through one of these tragedies, let alone three. We send our thoughts to Luke Bryan and his family during this very difficult time.

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Drummer Clyde Stubblefield Dead At Age 73 Clyde Stubblefield, drummer for James Brown and originator of one of hip-hop’s most popular beat samples, has passed away at age 73. His cause of death was kidney failure. If you don’t know Stubblefield’s name offhand, you definitely know his sound.

Songs using the iconic percussion include Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power,” “Bring the Noise” and “Rebel Without a Pause,” N.W.A’s “F*ck tha Police” and Dr. Dre’s “Let Me Ride” to LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out,” Run-D.M.C.’s “Run’s House,” just to name a few. Needless to say, his death is being felt throughout the industry. Star drummer Questlove left the following message about the passing of the man who inspired so many songs: He will be truly missed .

Warren Frost Dies; Veteran TV Star Was 91

Posted on February 18, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Warren Frost, a veteran television star best known for his roles on Twin Peaks and Seinfeld, died on Friday in Middlebury, Vermont following a lengthy illness. He was 91 years old. Showtime confirmed this sad news in a statement, while Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost, Warren’s son, relayed the following to fans: “We’re saddened today to announce the passing of our dear old dad, Warren Frost. “From the Normandy shores on D-Day to his 50-year career on stage and screen, he remained the same humble guy from Vermont who taught us that a life devoted to telling the right kind of truths can make a real difference in the lives of others.” “We’re grateful to have shared him with the world for as long as we did.” Frost portrayed Dr. Will Hayward, the coroner who refused to perform Laura Palmer’s autopsy on the original ABC run of Twin Peaks. He came out of retirement to reprise the role in Showtime’s upcoming revival, which is scheduled to air later this year. The actor, who was born in Massachusetts, also served in the Navy during World War II and appeared on five episodes of Seinfeld as Susan Ross’ father-in-law, who often clashed with George Costanza.

After breaking into the entertainment industry in New York City, Frost moved to Los Angeles in 1958 to continue working in TV, guest-starring on episodes of such hit series as Perry Mason and Dragnet. He also had roles in movies such as The Mating Game, It Started with a Kiss and Slaughterhouse-Five. In 1990, Frost joined the cast of Twin Peaks. Two years later, it was on to Seinfeld. The beloved actor also recurred on Matlock,and made a multitude appearances on shows like The Larry Sanders Show, Murphy Brown, Life Goes On, and L.A. Law. Frost retired in 2000 and moved back to Vermont, yet returned to acting to appear in the upcoming Twin Peaks revival. It debuts in May. Along with his son, Frost is survived by his wife of 68 years, Virginia, and his three kids: Mark, novelist and photographer Scott Frost, and actress and artist Lindsay Frost; as well as three grandchildren. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam We send our condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Warren Frost.
