RIP Celebrity Thread - Part 3

[Symbiotic]

Always considered this guy to be the luckiest man in the world. Rest in peace, Hef.

 

[Raiden]

Outside of being an ahead of the curve civil rights and civil liberty advocate, and living the average man's dream life times a 1,000.... Hef was also a close friend of Stan Lee's.

RIP, Hef.

I remember one of the Stan Lee's cameos in MCU was him wearing Hef's famous outfit with a pair of women as if he were Hef.

R.I.P. Hef. You changed the world and created more than just a magazine.

It was the 1st Iron Man and Tony Stark mistakes Lee for Hef

Rest in Peace

Yeah, it's actually surprising how many really well-known women have appeared in Playboy.

Right? Even now still finding a few surprise faces. I equate it to watching old seasons of Saturday Night Live or any sketch comedy show and realizing 'Wait, this actor/actress was on there?'

Sure, the spreads and such are great, but it is an interesting read if just for all of the familiar faces, when most of these folks were younger or in their prime, or there for the interviews. Heck, even Trump's in a 1990 issue for an interview.

Didn't know it.
Quite touching.

I now have this mental picture of Stan Lee queuing for hours at 'Playboy-con' and paying some extortionate amount to have his picture taken with Hef!

I think Hefner has had some other influence over Iron Man in general. The comic version of Justin Hammer always wore a red dressing gown with black trim very similar to Hugh Hefner. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by that.

Dammit.

All these heartaches coming down on Stan The Man is really making me worry that these might finally make his heart want to quit.

Can’t say I’m too bummed about Hef being dead. Dude appropriated a legit sexual revolution as a means to capitalize off the objectification of women, which is something he proudly admitted to. If that sounds too “SJW” for everybody, then let’s not forget about playboy photographing a nude feature of Brooke Shields when she was only 10. Classy dude.

Damn....he had a good long run there, survived a lot of hell. RIP Mr. Malarkey.

RIP, Hef.

I didn't know that, about him and Stan, but somehow it makes sense. RIP Hef. you certainly lived the dream!

Yeah, they actually came up with Stripella together, lol.

Today just sucks.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Tom Petty, the legendary rock musician who sold tens of millions of albums across a five-decade career, has died at the age of 66.

Petty was found unconscious in his Malibu home on Sunday night, and was rushed to a local hospital in full cardiac arrest. He was admitted to the hospital in critical condition, and ultimately was taken off life support on Monday, CBS News reports.

One of classic rock’s most enduring icons, Petty released a string of hits — “Don’t Do Me Like That,” “The Waiting,” “You Got Lucky” — with his band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. His solo 1989 release, Full Moon Fever, served up more hits like “Free Fallin'” and “I Won’t Back Down.” He also teamed up with fellow rock legends Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne to form the 1980s supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.

Petty dabbled in acting on the small screen, voicing Luanne’s husband Elroy “Lucky” Kleinschmidt in 28 episodes of the Fox cartoon King of the Hill. He also played himself in episodes of The Larry Sanders Show and The Simpsons. His music was a big inspiration to TV writers as well: Nearly every episode of Cougar Town was named after a Petty song, and co-creator Kevin Biegel memorialized Petty on Twitter.

Tom was truly one of the greats

Tom Petty passed away.

He's from my home town, Gainesville FL. People kind of worship him there. Didn't like all of his music,
but "Full Moon Fever" is a great album, and one of my favorites. RIP.

Man, 2017...

 

[squeekness]

Man, just when I thought today couldn't hurt any more.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Damn. Was not expecting that. RIP Tom.

 

[Venom 1988]

TMZ is still maintaining that he's not dead.

http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/02/tom-petty-found-unconscious-full-cardiac-arrest/

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

Still plenty of conflicting reports on the interweb
