Default Billy Mays DEAD

His plane had a hard landing causing things in the over head to fall. Billy was struck in the head but was ok at the time. Telling the reporters that he had a hard head. His wife found him dead this morning.

As I am a Paramedic i suspect head died from a concussion or a small cerebral hemorrhage.


That is four stars in a week.

"them" lol... it's like a different breed haha... i dunno it just gets on my nerves... thousands of people die everyday and no one could care less, but someone famous dies and all of a sudden everyone goes nuts... i have heard more michael jackson songs in the last few days then i have my whole life... this guy that lives near me had a picture from thriller tinted onto the back window of his truck... uh, wtf?!... when he was alive people shunned him and he was nothing more than a child molestor and weirdo... he dies and now he's god... people are odd

I'm sorry to hear that the guy died, but man, Beard-o, as I called him, was freakin annoying.

RIP Beard-o

No, but it's only natural for someone who is well-known to receive a lot of attention when he or she dies. I do think, however, that many news outlets goes WAAAAY overboard when reporting celebrity deaths. There is so much pertinent news out there that should be reported...the fact that Michael Jackson died is no longer "Breaking News" four days after it happened.

I'd hardly call him a "star" and lump him in the same category as the other 3 but may he RIP. Like mmiller said he was annoying as ****.
