Mark Snow, X-files composer, has died.
Yeah, he looked perfectly healthy.
The story was but the character had possibilities of being in more of them, rather like Benoit Blanc in Knives Out and Glass Onion. Granted, it would be tough to top the White House as a setting. Alas, we will never find out how Detective Cupp was making a living in between the big gigs as a consulting detective. Bird-watching can’t pay too well.
My expectation is the ‘cancellation’ is not to say there won’t be more Cordelia Cupp mysteries, just that this was not the original plan, as the book it was based on is a non-fiction about life in the White House, and not a murder mystery at all. It’s an unusual origin story for a show, and therefore not a typical cancellation. Any further adventures will be, by necessity, a separate production.
Former MLB pitcher Bobby Jenks dies at age 44. Stomach cancer. He threw the final out of the World Series the White Sox won.
Ozzy Osbourne. Just saw a video of him singing at a concert from last night or so. He was sitting the entire time, in a black throne.
Is he…frail? Sick?
He’s 76 years old, has had spinal surgery and has Parkinson’s disease.
BBC coverage of the event references his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Guess I can cross him off my 2026 list.
Probably best known as Dr. Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck
I love that show.
And before that he was Balthazar (who later absorbed and became “The Source (of all Evil)”) on Aaron Spelling’s Charmed. Kept doing the bad-guy-to-good-guy-to-bad-guy thing like he was a pro-wrestler or something.
