Rock pioneer Bo Diddley, whose signature beat laid the foundation for decades of tunes by artists from Buddy Holly to U2, has died at 79. His black hat and “cigar box” guitar made him a distinctive figure, but it was the rhythm he laid down that became a rock staple.

So sad…

Albert died of a heart attack at his home in Basel, Switzerland. He was 102, assholes! Do you know what that means? He must have been doing something right! CNN.com has the full story for you. I would go on to elaborate, however, I think I am going to leave the office in tears and hold a community wide grieving ceremony today. I do live in Austin afterall.

SXSW Update #1: this is so not good

That’s right boys and girls…my cousin decided to “check himself out of life” last night, so I have to fly out tomorrow to a town where nothing cool will be going on. For now, I am sitting at home alone while the ATX is blowing up. I am looking for someone who is ready to get ill w/ me tonight!

Today’s moral of the story: GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY YOUR FUCKING LIFE!

TMZ is reporting that Heath’s maid found him dead this afternoon.  No word on any reasons yet.  Updates to come.  CNN is reporting that he was found at 3pm in his Manhattan apartment.  Sad shit.  He was fucking ridiculous hot.

it makes me feel really old when shit like this happens.

Update:  police are confirming that there were prescription pills found strewn around Heath’s bed when the paramedics arrived.  TMZ is reporting that when they arrived, the 28 year old actor was in full cardiac arrest and they could not help him.

Update:  Heath was reportedly in a residence that was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen.  The paramedics are now saying that when they arrived, they found his body face down with no apparent signs of trauma.

Update:  I am a single girl sitting in my little bungalow in east Austin trying to mind my own business and go about my daily routine…which isn’t much to write about in itself, and I like it that way so, should you not have enough tragic chronicling of the life and death of Heath Ledger…please visit TMZ.com…I don’t know how they do it, but those guys are fucking on top it!
