Michael Jackson's mother is stepping up to the plate, attempting to file for guardianship of the late-pop star's three children. Being ages 7, 11, and 12, they need a home suitable for them to have some semblance of normalcy...or something like that...although it may be a bit of a shock to have any normalcy after the flamboyant and paranoid lifestyle lived by their father, Michael Jackson. Following a life in environments such as Neverland, a normal children's lifestyle may be hard to realize.
Billy Mays' cause of death is being labeled as heart disease and not the rough plane landing where he bumped his head. It's interesting to note that there could be a wrongful death suit towards the airliner, and it would therefore be advantageous for the Mays' family to tie the heart disease and rough landing together as one aggravating the other. It's an awful thing for any family to have to go through.
In other news, Judge Sonia Sotomayor's ruling as an appeals court judge has been reversed. Which ruling, you ask? Remember the ruling that caused the white firefighters in New Haven, Conn. to be denied promotions (a bit of reverse racism)...that is the one that has been reversed. Hallelujah, someone actually is doing the right thing! Racism is horrible whether it is the typical, or reverse-type racism! An amazing way to start the week, eh?!

Billy Mays Passes After Airline Incident.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo, OxiClean and ESPN made him a pop-culture icon, died today. He was 50.
Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife, Deborah Mays, this morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. Investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department.
Mays reportedly was hit on the head Saturday while aboard a US Airways flight that made a rough landing, and Mays' wife told investigators the TV personality didn't feel well before he went to bed Saturday night.
The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
US Airways confirmed today that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that landed Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
"All of a sudden, as we hit, you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said linking Mays' death to the rough landing Saturday afternoon would "purely be speculation." She said Mays' family members didn't report any health issues with the pitchman, but they said he was due to have hip replacement surgery in the coming weeks
