Ed Bruce
Country songwriter and actor dies at 81



Bruce began his career in pop music to little success before breaking through in the country field with the seminal outlaw country song, "Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," which was a hit both for himself and for Waylon and Willie. Among his other hits were "The Man that Turned My Mama On" (Tanya Tucker), "Restless" (Crystal Gayle) and "Texas (When I Die)" (also Tucker). As a performer, he hit number-one with "You're the Best Break This Old Heart Ever Had," following it up with several more top-10 hits into the 1980s.

In the 1980s, Bruce turned to acting, starring alongside James Garner in a revival of the classic Western series Maverick. He was one of many country stars to appear in Steven Seagal's Fire Down Below in 1997.

Bruce died January 8, just over a week after his 81st birthday.

Illusionist Siegfried Fischbacher of Siegfried & Roy dies
By KEN RITTER2 hours ago
Quote
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Siegfried Fischbacher, the surviving member of the magic duo Siegfried & Roy who entertained millions with illusions using rare animals, has died in Las Vegas, his longtime publicist tells The Associated Press. He was 81.

Fischbacher died Wednesday at his home from pancreatic cancer, Dave Kirvin of Kirvin Doak Communications said Thursday. The news was first reported by German news agency dpa.

Fischbacher’s long-time show business partner, Roy Horn, died last year of complications from COVID-19 at a Las Vegas hospital. He was 75.

The duo astonished millions with their extraordinary magic tricks until Horn was critically injured in 2003 by one of the act’s famed white tigers. ...

Saw Siegfried & Roy at the Mirage in Vegas years ago.  At the time it wasn't easy to get tickets, but a very helpful resort concierge worked his own magic and got me a ticket.  It was the typical glitzy Vegas show, but it was surprisingly a lot of fun.   The PETA types were probably glad when the show ended after the accident with Roy, but what those loons didn't know was that the pair were heavily involved in wildlife conservation, particularly for those beautiful tigers they used in their act.

Rest in peace Siegfried.  Now you and Roy can dazzle the angels in heaven.

Harold Bornstein, Trump’s eccentric ex-doctor, dies

Quote
The shaggy-haired, bespectacled gastroenterologist first came to public prominence in 2015, when he authored a note for the Trump campaign memorably predicting his patient “will be the healthiest individual elected to the presidency.”
...
Following Trump’s upset victory in the 2016 White House race, however, the doctor-patient relationship between the two men appeared to deteriorate.
...
Tensions escalated further in 2018, when Bornstein accused Keith Schiller — the former White House director of Oval Office operations and Trump’s longtime personal bodyguard — of conducting a “raid” of his office the previous year to obtain the president’s medical records.

Phil Spector, Wall of Sound Music Producer and Murderer, Dies at 81


Quote

Producer Phil Spector, the legendary studio revolutionary of the ’60s and ’70s who ended his life imprisoned for a sensational 2003 murder, has died. He was 81.

“Phillip Spector, 80, was pronounced deceased of natural causes at 6:35 p.m. on Saturday, January 16, 2021, at an outside hospital. His official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office,” read the statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

It was not immediately clear why the prison system listed a different age.

TMZ reported that he had recently been hospitalized with COVID complications.

No he had and was wearing his helmet...Ironic on his FB page his main photo is him wearing it.

He was farther north of Kenosha..the Kenosha Police Dept are going there and escorting him back to Kenosha...This has hit everyone who knew him so hard...he was a great guy.

Mira Furlan, ‘Babylon 5’ and ‘Lost’ Actress, Dies at 65

Mira Furlan, best known for her roles as Delenn on “Babylon 5” and Danielle Rousseau on “Lost,” died on Wednesday. She was 65.

...

While a cause of death has yet not been revealed, Straczynski said the cast and crew of “Babylon 5” had “known for some time now that Mira’s health was fading.” “We kept hoping that she would improve,” he wrote. “In a group email sent to the cast a while back, I heard that she might be improving.”

However, Straczynski said he later got the call from “Babylon 5” co-star Peter Jurasik that Furlan’s husband, director Goran Gajić, was “bringing her home.”
