Seems too young to say goodbye. I grew up with the Cleavers. Wally was what a brother should be like.

RIP Tony.

When she was a young RJEL Girl, she dreamed of growing up and being a Muse. Her mother told her it wasn't a real job description and it broke Jen's heart.

I've actually got a Xanadu poster in my house.

Actress Anne Heche, who got into a bizarre car accident caught on film a week ago today, died from injuries suffered in the crash at age 53. RIP.

She was also involved in two hit and runs and barely missed hitting a pedestrian when she came flying out of an alleyway minutes before crashing through someone's living room which caused both the car and the house to catch fire. Doorbell camera footage shows her car moving so fast down that residential street that you can't even tell what kind of car it is. It could have been a lot worse. Multiple sources are reporting that she was high on cocaine and fentanyl. This story is both crazy and sad.
