News like this is time-sensitive but sometimes, words are hard to come by. Three Ice Cubes was ready to release a statement about the passing of designer Kate Spade, who tragically took her own life last week. Then, the world was hit again by another suicide, this time losing the incredibly talented chef, Anthony Bourdain. Both were extremely creative so it leads one to wonder what the connection between mental illness and creativity is, if there is any tie. There is, by some standards but this could be debated heavily for days.

 Both Spade and Bourdain committed suicide by hanging, with Bourdain having an open history of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. They both leave behind one child each and family as well as a bevy of fans that will miss them for years to come. If anything can be learned from these tragedies is that suicide is never the answer. There is light. There is help and the team at TIC is speaking from experience. If you or someone you know needs help, do not hesitate to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK(8255). Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved both Kate and Anthony! Rest in Peace.

Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and

  photo courtesy of amazon.com With the return of the hit Showtime series, 'The L Word,' it makes fans of the original show and ultimate reality spinoff, 'The Real L Word,' quite nostalgic. Actors can keep acting but reality stars can drift off into the clouds after their 15 minutes of fame are over. TRLW lasted three seasons with a revolving door of lesbians who soon became like friends and family. Initially based in California, the show followed the lives of a handful of gay women, somehow intertwined in life, and what it was like to date, fall in love, have sex, try to make babies, propose, be successful, and so much more. By the final season, the series went bi-coastal, utilizing NYC as a playground, as well. The show ended in 2012 with two weddings and a lot of tears. So, where are they now?
