‘Jurassic Park’ Author Dies

Posted by Ilan Mester on November 6th, 2008

Michael Crichton, author of “Jurassic Park” and other science fiction novels died of cancer at the age of 66 earlier this morning (November 5).

Crichton was known across the globe for his novel “Jurrasic Park” and its sequel, “The Lost World,” both of which were transformed into Hollywood blockbusters, directed by Steven Spielberg.

The author, who was also the creator of the medical drama “ER,” saw 12 of his novels make it to the silver screen.

“While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us — and entertained us all while doing so — his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes,” read a statement from Crichton’s representative. “He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget.”

Grateful Dead Keyboardist Dies

Posted by Ilan Mester on October 29th, 2008

Merl Saunders has died at the age of 74 due to complications linked to a stroke he suffered in the past, said his family.

Saunders’ family paid tribute to the musician on his website.

“Merl Saunders stood for music and love — his smile alone told you that,” the family said in a statement on the keyboardist’s website.

Saunders played with the Grateful Dead on their 1971 album, but garnered attention collaborating with Jerry Garcia, vocalist of the Grateful Dead, away from the group.

His collaborations with Garcia include the albums, Heavy Turbulence, Fire Up and Live at the Keystone. Years later the duo recorded Blues From the Rainforest.

“He was a special man, a beautiful companion, father, grandfather, and family patriarch, and the proof of that spirit is in the way you’ve reached out to us at his passing,” said the family on the website.

Saunders’ favourite instrument was the Hammond B3 organ. He became the first person to receive the lifetime activist award from a Florida environmental group.

A memorial service for Saunders will be held on Oct. 29 in San Francisco according to the family.

Clooney Mourns the Loss of Pet Pig

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 5th, 2006

Mega Star George Clooney is mourning the loss of his beloved potbelly pet pig, Max.

The actor’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said Max, 19, died in Clooney’s Hollywood home peacefully of natural causes.

“Max, like any pet, became a member of the family,” Rosenfield said. “He was a big pig, as pigs go. I can’t tell you how much he weighed.”

Clooney wasn’t able to be with Max during his final hours as he was out of town promoting his new film, “The Good German.”

In an interview last February, Clooney told 60 Minutes the two shared the same bed.

“Usually, he sleeps on the foot of my bed, but he’s gotten so fat in the last year.”

Clooney and Max spent the last 18 years together and is reportedly Clooney’s longest relationship.
