No longer enmeshed in the ballet world, I was unaware of Jack. But reading up on him now makes clear that he was a talented dancer, and had big things ahead. RIP young man...too young...

Unless you're a Californian, by birth like me or as a transplant, you're probably not familiar with Porto's Bakery, but it's legendary here. I'm saddened to hear of the death of its founder and family matriarch, Rosa Porto, who was 89.
Hers was truly an American dream story. She and her husband left Cuba after Castro took power, arriving in LA flat broke, and created a mini-empire of awesome bakeries.
If you're ever in these parts, do yourself a favor and visit one. I've only been to the Glendale location; its lines are often out the door!
RIP Ms Porto. You and my mom lived to the same age. Wave at her, if you don't mind. She had the biggest sweet tooth, and oh how she loved your goodies! The huge birthday cake we got for a relative one year was still discussed, with great pleasure, long afterward.

I have seen one or two episodes of her show..I never watched Chelsea Handler’s show, and didn’t really know who Chuy was, but he sounds like he was pretty funny and creative. RIP, Mr. Bravo, and bravo to you for adding some humor to the world.
Chuy Bravo, Chelsea Handler’s sidekick on her E! talk show “Chelsea Lately,” has died in Mexico City. He was 63.
According to reports, the Mexican American actor died suddenly after being hospitalized with stomach pains while visiting family in Mexico.
Oh no.
I've become very familiar with Allee Willis ever since I came across AXS-TV--a channel I like so much, I've even posted a thread about it. Anyway, Ms Willis, with her distinctive, and raspy, voice, adds a lot of wit and wisdom to shows on AXS.
Prior to that, I had never heard of her; since then, I've been in awe. I'll miss her.
Condolences to her loved ones.
How tragic, dying--so young--on his birthday.
Condolences to those who knew and loved him.
Controversial 'shock jock' Don Imus, of Imus in the Morning, has died at 79.
Here's a very informative article that did a lot to jog my memory on why he was so controversial.
Condolences to his family and friends.

I only listen to him once or twice when he was on the air, the other day some station in Nevada was playing an older show of his it was around 2am
