R.I.P. Brad Renfro

Before (movie) After (mugshot)
Remember that cute kid from “The Client”?
Well, he grew up to be junkie, and today he was found dead in his home here in L.A. (Cause unknown, but we have our guesses.)
What a sad story! That’s like the exact cautionary tale stereotype we all imagine, and then there it is: Child star, […]

R.I.P. Robert Goulet

The world has lost one of the great mustaches our time - that of 73 year-old crooner, Robert Goulet, who passed away Tuesday from a rare lung disease, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center here in L.A.

Goulet made a name for himself some 50 years ago with his smooth pitch-perfect baritone voice. Elvis Presley once saw the […]

R.I.P. Pavarotti

FYI, Starked-Fans: We  apologize for the uncharacteristically serious tone of this story… it’s kind of a bummer though.

Beloved tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, lost his year-long battle with pancreatic cancer early Thursday morning, and passed away at his home in Modena, Italy.
The opera superstar - arguably one of the most well-known opera singers in history - was perhaps best known for […]

R.I.P Merv Griffin

Television magnate, Merv Griffin, passed away today at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center here in LA after a decade-long fight against prostate cancer. He was 82.
The name “Merv Griffin” immediately brings to mind game shows. He created both “Jeopardy” (he also wrote the show’s famous theme song, which reportedly earned him somewhere between $70-$80 million in royalties!) […]

Keith Richards Admits To Snorting Dear Old Dad

Let’s just get it out of the way now, shall we? Eeeeeeeewwww!!!

There are two main points of weirdness in this story:
1. Hundred and sixty year-old propped-up corpse, Keith Richards, wanted to clarify that he did not snort cocaine (Whaaa?!) mixed with his father’s ashes….
2. …But he did snort his father’s ashes!! Good Lord, man!
In an […]

Tom Cruise Gets Even Creepier!

I didn’t think it was possible for me to find Tom Cruise any more repellent than I already did, but then these pictures surface, and - ta da! - he’s creepier than ever:

Tom got the ja from Germany to start filming on his latest project, “Valkyrie,” on Thursday, in which he plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the […]

Jon Lovitz Beat Up Andy Dick!

This might be the best story I’ve heard in a very long time (aside from the Lindsay-Lohan-being-a-lesbian thing). It’s great on so many levels: Andy Dick gets a much-needed smack-down, Jon Lovitz turns out to be a total bad-ass (who knew?!), and there’s a fantastic revenge aspect that is just awesome.

Lovitz has had a serious […]
