Not sure if I should have put this in the "Bollywood" section or just this one, but Krishna Raj Kapoor, the wife of Bollywood legend, Raj Kapoor, has passed away at the age of 87. Her husband, Raj Kapoor was known as "the greatest showman" in his time and his famous "tramp" character was inspired by Charlie Chaplin. She was also the mother of two sons who would become Bollywood actors as well (Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, and Rajeev Kapoor) as well as the grandmother of a few more Bollywood stars (Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, etc.) The Kapoors are quite a dynasty and it's sad that a matriarch has passed.

Could have gone in reality TV, but whatever. Former Geordie Shore nobody Marty McKenna's dad is in hospital for an unknown reason. We know this because he went on Snapchat and asked if there were any prozzies in the local area who do hospital visits.

So he's not alive for you, then.

 

Hang on, a Godsmack member is now old enough to have a 34 year old son??

Jesus, Godsmack ruled the nu metal/post grunge boom when Evanescence was also popular, and Evanescence members (at least Amy Lee) are only in late 30s. I didn't realise Godsmack were so old!

Well Godsmack has been around since 1995.

Evanescence also formed in 1995, but that would make Godsmack old even by those standards aswell

*mind you, Amy and the rest were still extremely young when they started, like not even old enough to play in bars

True, I was gonna state that they both formed in 95, but decided against it. Oh, and on a side note  I'm 40, and my mom will be 57, in January. So, maybe he had the kid, when very young.

If there is a silver lining, now that 'the most compassionate person in the world' has passed, that makes Sir Creep the new most passionate person in the world.

Think you're missing a 'com' in that sentence Sir. Although if you are standing just off screen on your avatar photo perhaps not.

Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday announced that her eldest son, Ronald Brewer, had died unexpectedly over the weekend. 

He was 54.  Brewer already lost one of her three sons, John Brewer, to cancer in 2007. 

The cause of Ronald Brewer's death was not immediately clear. The obituary said only that he had died in his sleep Saturday in Phoenix, and a family representative did not comment further.

"My Three One Sons"

Edit: This seemed kinda important: "Ronald Brewer had dealt with mental illness for decades, spending much of his life in a state-funded mental-health facility after being found not guilty by reason of insanity in a 1989 sexual-assault case."
