Host and Creator of the Gong Show, Chuck Barris, Dead at 87 Years!

 

 


Aww, this is sad. The host and creator of the 1970s hit show, the Gong Show passed away from natural causes at his home in Palisades NY, he was 87 yrs old. Not only did he create the Gong Show, which I loved. He also created The Dating Game and the Newlywed Game, 2 other favorites of mine. The Gong Show was a talent show, with 3 celebrity judges and Chuck as the host. The act would come out and perform, if the any of the judges didn't like the act they could hit the gong and have the act booted off stage. Sometimes all 3 judges would hit the gong at the same time. LOL This show also introduced us to the Unknown Comic, who would come out and tell truly tasteless jokes to fill in the time. Chuck was a little hottie too. He used to wear his shirts open to his naval showing off his very sexy hairy torso. Yum yum baby!!! Chuck is survived by his wife of 16 yrs. Rest in peace Chuck.

Magic Johnson's Son EJ Johnson, Goes From Fat and Flabby to Slim and Trim After Weight Loss Surgery!

 
 
Magic Johnson's son EJ Johnson had weight loss surgery about 2yrs ago and he has finally met his weight loss goal. He has lost 180 lbs. EJ would never state how much he weighed prior to the weight loss surgery. But I am gonna guess he was somewhere between a hungry hungry hippo and an Orcha! LOL However, after his surgery he has slimmed down to about 175 to 180lbs and he debuted his new look at the Hermes Mens Fashion show in Los Angeles. EJ is a reality star on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills but he now looks like a model from any Paris fashion runway. EJ showed up in a black sheer off the shoulder body suit, high waisted black pants with giant thigh high slits, black suede boots and a black duster which he wore hanging off of his wrists. And to top it all off, he was carrying a deep purple crocodile Kelly Bag with 2 diamond chokers and a full smokey eye makeup. He slayed everyone!!! You better work gurl!!! But dont take my word for it, check out his pic below. What do you think? Slaying or not slaying? I say slaying!!!

I am just wondering if he is transitioning or not?

Joni Sledge Founding Member of Sister Sledge, Dead at 60 Years!

 

 
Joni Sledge, one of the founding members of the legendary 1970s singing group Sister Sledge was found dead in her home in Phoenix Arizona yesterday. she was just 60 yrs old. The cause of death has not been determined yet. Joni and 4 of her sisters formed the singing group Sister Sledge way back in the 1970s but didn't find fame until after they met Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards from the singing group Chic. The duo wrote all of the songs for groups 1978 album "We Are Family". The first track off the album went top10, it was called "The Greatest Dancer", but the song that had everyone on the floor dancing to was the anthem "We Are Family". Too bad that would be there only #1 hit song. Joni is survived by her grown son her sisters and other relatives. Rest in peace Joni.
