Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dead at 87!

  photo courtesy of commons.wikimedia.org The world is mourning the loss of an icon and a legend- Ruth Bader Ginsburg , Supreme Court Justice, has passed away at 87. She has had her health issues, which included a bout with colon cancer in 1999; pancreatic cancer 10 years later; a stent in her artery; lung cancer and much more. However, the one thing that remained consistent about RBG was the fact she never missed a day on the bench and made sure she always showed up like a boss. One of the reasons she was seemingly holding on for dear life was to wait for the election so the current president could be voted out and not replace her with more conservative judges. Unfortunately, her little body could not hold on any longer. Nominated by former president Bill Clinton , she hold this post from 1993-2020, predeceased by husband, Martin Ginsburg, who passed in 2010. She leaves behind children Jane and James and a plethora of fans! We will miss you! Now, bubble wrap Betty White and protec...

According to a statement to People Magazine , Philbin died of natural causes yesterday, his family shared: "We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved Regis Philbin passed away last night of natural causes, one month shy of his 89th birthday. His family and friends are forever grateful for the time we got to spend with him – for his warmth, his legendary sense of humor, and his singular ability to make every day into something worth talking about.

He also had hip replacement surgery two years later and ha...

'Dancing With the Stars' Has New Hosts!

  photo courtesy of abc.com Call it the curse of 2020. Or just call it #2020. I feel like all we have been doing is delivering sad news and now here comes some depressing news for 'Dancing With the Stars' fans. Tom Bergeron has announced he will not be returning as host of the hit dancing competition for the 29th season; his co-host, Erin Andrews , won't return, as well. This is not a personal choice for Bergeron or Andrews but rather a decision made by the network, ABC, Tom shared on his Twitter: "Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It's been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career. I'm grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of the glitter masks?" photo courtesy of flickr.com Bergeron, 65, for his part, has been a host since the series premiered in 2005, even winning an Emmy in 2012. As for Erin Andrews, she took over in 2013...

Matchbox Twenty Going On Tour!

  photo courtesy of matchboxtwenty.com It would only be appropriate for a band with the number '20' in it to announce they are going on a grand tour in 2020. And this just what Matchbox Twenty has done. After deleting all of their Instagram photos, leaving fans guessing with just gray boxes in their profile and story, along with a countdown, there was a big ole question mark lingering. Fans of Rob Thomas had heard MB20 would be touring this summer but we were not sure if this would include a new album or just a medley of their hits. The countdown officially ended at 10am EST this morning with the big reveal- yes, they are going on tour, with tickets going on sale this week. Who will be joining them? Usually it is the Counting Crows or the Goo Goo Dolls but The Wallflowers will be driving them home with one headlight. A complete list of tour dates is up at www.matchboxtwenty.com including sale dates and more so check it out. It was a somewhat expected announcement but a ...

Matchbox Twenty Leaves Fans Hanging!

  photo courtesy of matchboxtwenty.com If you are a fan of Matchbox Twenty and follow them on Instagram , you undoubtedly saw a shocker when you went to their page. Every post has been deleted and yesterday, a single gray post went up. No caption, just gray and was followed by two more of the same. Earlier today, a timer went up in their story revealing tomorrow morning an announcement would be made. Rob Thomas announced during his solo summer Chip Tooth Tour that the band would be going back on tour in 2020 so his fans were hip to this information. But, this seems to be far more dramatic than just a tour announcement. Rob also has noted he and the band have been writing new music together so tomorrow (do we have to wait on pins and needles all night?) all will be revealed and we will share it right here!
