This one had us in tears. Three of the kids escaped to a neighbor’s house only to be called back by their mom . A mother of four shot and killed her children — three of whom returned home after fleeing — before killing herself Tuesday morning at a Port St. John home, according to investigators. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said Tonya Thomas, 33, shot and killed her two daughters, 17-year-old Pebbles Johnson and 13-year-old Jazlin Johnson, and her two sons, 15-year-old Jaxs Johnson and 12-year-old Joel Johnson. Brevard County sheriff’s Lt. Tod Goodyear said three of the children went to a neighbor’s house to say their mother had shot them. The mother then called the children back to the house and shot them again, killing them, investigators said. “I’m a father and I’ve got kids. I cannot comprehend a person doing that to their child — calling them back to the slaughter,” Goodyear said. The neighbors called 911 just before 5 a.m. and deputies found Pebbles Johnson dead in the front yard of the home at 7245 Bright Avenue. Deputies then spotted someone at the door and called the SWAT team, who later entered the home and found four people dead. “We have no idea on motive right now,” said Goodyear, who added that no note or letter has been discovered. The father of the children lives elsewhere in Brevard County and was very distraught upon hearing the news, Goodyear said. A friend of Thomas told authorities that Thomas sent a text message around 3 a.m., saying she wanted to be cremated with her children. The message wasn’t received, however, until after the friend woke up, which was after the family was found dead. More than a dozen deputies and SWAT team members had converged on the home and the neighborhood was cordoned off during the investigation. Goodyear said deputies were called to the home for a domestic incident a few weeks ago, but he offered no other details. Thomas has no significant criminal history, and domestic battery charges against her were dropped in 2002. Jaxs Johnson was set to appear in juvenile court on Tuesday for a misdemeanor battery charge involving his mother, but it’s not known if the hearing played a role in the shootings. School officials issued a statement after being informed of the deaths. “Brevard Public Schools is saddened to learn of the tragic deaths of four of its students. The police have released the students’ names and crisis teams/grief counselors have been sent to the respective schools to help students, faculty and staff deal with this heartbreaking news,” school officials said. It’s a cold world but sometimes it’s not what’s outside that gets us. Just heartbreaking. Video and photos below: Source Photo Credit: Brevard County Reporter

Keepin’ it classy in San Diego San Diego Chargers Fans Gather For Public Memorial For Junior Seau Hours after Junior Seau was buried in his hometown, thousands of fans got their chance to cheer one more time for the hard-hitting, fist-pumping linebacker at the stadium where he starred for 13 seasons. A crowd estimated at 20,000 attended a public memorial service at Qualcomm Stadium. Many wore Seau’s No. 55 jersey — in Chargers blue, Southern California cardinal and gold and Miami Dolphins aqua and orange. One of Seau’s cousins wore a jersey combing the colors of all three of his pro teams, including the New England Patriots. Former NFL safety John Lynch led a shout-out of “Buddy!” — Seau’s greeting to friends and strangers alike. “I love it,” Lynch said. “He was a good and loyal friend,” said former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson, who drew some of the biggest cheers of the night as he spoke of Seau. “Notice the words I said: good and loyal.” Chargers president Dean Spanos made official what many had known since Seau left after the 2002 season, that No. 55 will never be worn by another Chargers player. Among those attending were Seau’s parents, his ex-wife and their children, several current and former Chargers, and former rival John Elway. Elway, who now runs Denver’s front office, was accompanied by new Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and coach John Fox, a former assistant with San Diego. LaDainian Tomlinson also spoke to to Junior’s grieving parents: “Mama Seau, Papa Seau, it’s time for you to take a bow. Why? Because of everything that you instilled in Junior, and taught him and told him to go out and be happy and do happy, he did that. He instilled in everybody he touched, the things you taught him. So don’t be sad today, be happy because Junior lives through us every day in everything he’s touched.” Then, reciting the names of Seau’s children, who were seated in the front row, Tomlinson said: “Go make your father proud. He’ll live through you. Thank you, Junior.” We still can’t believe Junior is gone, pretty damn sad. R.I.P. Source Image via AP

Wow, really?? Whitney Houston’s Family Officially Signs On For New Reality Show It’s been three months since Whitney Houston tragically died in her hotel room in Beverly Hills and her family is finally ready to open up their lives to the public, and to cameras. The The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Houston family has signed up for a revealing reality show with Lifetime. Tentatively called The Houston Family Chronicles, it will follow Whitney’s mother Cissy, her brother Gary and his wife Pat Houston (Whitney’s former manager), their daughter Rayah, and Whitney’s daughter Bobby Kristina as they deal with her death and manage her estate. Her cousin Dionne Warwick and gospel singer CeCe Winans are both expected to make guest appearances. “The tragic loss of Whitney Houston left a void in the hearts of people all over the world, but certainly none more so than her beloved family,” said Lifetime executive VP of programming, Rob Sharenow. “In this series, the multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love and grow.” In light of today’s news, Pat says she’s been working over several years to get a similar project off the ground. However, Whitney’s death has affected the “direction” of the show. Not that we won’t watch, but we’re honestly kind of surprised that the family would let people into their lives during such a difficult time. Will you be tuned in?? Source Image via WENN

Trailblazing hair and fashion icon Vidal Sassoon has died at the age of 84, according to the L.A. Times , following reports in recent years that he’d been battling leukemia. The hair styling legend had built an empire after making a name for himself with game-changing designs for women in the 1960s, including bold coifs for the likes of movie stars Nancy Kwan and Mia Farrow. Actress Nancy Kwan shot to fame with 1960s’s The World of Suzie Wong , which is often incorrectly credited as the film for which Vidal Sassoon gave her this iconic slanted bob. Rather, the Sassoon cut was done for Kwan’s 1963 comedy The Wild Affair . (Kwan’s famous photo, below, was shot for Vogue.) Years later, he remembered the design in a chat with NPR : “I looked at her bone structure, and I thought we could do almost anything with Nancy. And I started to cut at the very back of her head and I said, ‘Great neckline; I’ll go shorter.’ And I went short in the back and graduated into more length at the sides, and I suddenly realized we had a bob that could be international.” In 1967, Sassoon and his scissors were tapped to transform another ingenue for the screen with Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby , for which he gave Mia Farrow the close-cropped pixie cut that would become her trademark. Sassoon, a London native who was a member of the anti-fascist 43 Group following World War II, was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2009. His life and legacy was the subject of the documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie , which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival and opened in limited release in 2011. [via LA Times ]

Trailblazing Hair Stylist Vidal Sassoon Passes Away at 84

R.I.P. to another great one. Hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, who undid the beehive with his wash-and-wear cuts and went on to become an international name in hair care, died Wednesday. He was 84. Sassoon died at his home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, police spokesman Kevin Maiberger said. Officers were summoned to the home at about 10:30 a.m., where they found Sassoon dead with his family. They determined that he died of natural causes, and there will be no further police investigation, Maiberger said. When Sassoon picked up his shears in the 1950s, styled hair was typically curled, teased, piled high and shellacked into place. Then came the 1960s, and Sassoon’s creative cuts, which required little styling and fell into place perfectly every time, fit right in with the fledgling women’s liberation movement. “My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous,” Sassoon said in 1993 in the Los Angeles Times, which first reported his death Wednesday. “Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn’t have time to sit under the dryer anymore.” His wash-and-wear styles included the bob, the Five-Point cut and the “Greek Goddess,” a short, tousled perm — inspired by the “Afro-marvelous-looking women” he said he saw in New York’s Harlem. Sassoon opened his first salon in his native London in 1954 but said he didn’t perfect his cut-is-everything approach until the mid-’60s. Once the wash-and-wear concept hit, though, it hit big and many women retired their curlers for good. See y’all Harlem even inspired Vidal Sassoon! Source
May he rest peacefully in the great library in the sky! Where The Wild Things Are Author Maurice Sendak Dead At 83 Maurice Sendak, author of the beloved children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” has died. He was 83. Sendak’s longtime editor told the New York Times that Sendak died of complications from a stroke. The Brooklyn-born author had already written seven children’s books when, in 1963, Harper & Row published ”Where the Wild Things Are.” Sendak wrote and illustrated the unconventional story about an unruly boy named Max dressed in a wolf suit who, sent to his room by his mother as punishment for misbehaving, travels to a land of monsters and proves himself the wildest thing of all. Initially met with mixed reviews, the story quickly gained popularity and, in 1964, was awarded the Caldecott Medal, the country’s highest honor for children’s literature. Sendak is credited with injecting children’s literature with depth and psychological meaning, and his art was hailed for both its edginess and whimsy. ”Where the Wild Things Are” in particular inspired not only other writers, but also musicians and artists. An animated adaptation was created in 1973, and it was the subject of a hit film by director Spike Jonze in 2009. President Obama and his family read from ”Where the Wild Things Are” at this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll. Sendak wrote more than a dozen books in all and illustrated many more. His most recent, the picture book ”Bumble-Ardy,” was published in September. Congress and then-President Clinton presented Sendak with the National Medal of Arts in 1996. Sendak lived with his partner, Eugene Glenn, for 50 years until Glenn’s death in 2007. Sendak most recently lived in Danbury, Conn. This is truly sad news. We feel like our childhood heroes are going to the grave lately — Whitney Houston, Junior Seau and now Maurice Sendak! R.I.P. Source Photo Credit: PBS.org

Maurice Sendak, the author of one of the most popular children’s books of all-time, has passed from complications related to a stroke. He was 83. A writer and an illustrator, Sendak rose to prominence in 1963 with the publication of “Where the Wild Things Are.” It was made into a movie in 2009. Sendak’s reputation grew over time as someone with frank opinions and a dark sense of humor. His works often featured especially angry, rebellious young children and he made headlines against in January during an appearance on The Colbert Report (excerpted in the following video), during which he said: “I don’t write for children. I like them as few and far between as I do adults.” Maurice Sendak on The Colbert Report Sendak resided with his partner, psychiatrist Eugene Glynn, for 50 years before the latter died of lung cancer in 2007. We send our thoughts to his loved ones.
