Ruslana Korshunova was a 20 year old successful model. This weekend she died, after falling from the ninth floor of her apartment in Manhattan. The Kazakhstan model appeared to live a happy life, nobody knew she was having a hard time. She was working with passion, took care of her relatives and send money back home and she even said that life people in New York make her feel comfortable.

The gorgeous young model with green eyes and long blond hair was famous in the model industry and the day she died she had just returned from a modelling gig in Paris. She arrived in her apartment building around 4 am on Saturday. Nobody seemed to notice that Ruslana was not happy in love. She wrote a few poems about love and hurt but nobody knew she was really hurt or sad.

“There were no signs. [...]That’s what’s driving me crazy. I don’t see one reason why she would do that” [...] “She really liked New York. People made her feel comfortable here”, said a friend of Ruslana

Another friend, Kira Titeneva is having a hard time in beliving that Ruslana did commit suicide.

“There’s no way she would have killed herself. ‘She loved life so much. She was my best friend. I talked to her Friday night and we were talking all the gossip. She was like an angel. She was just working, working, working”

According to a police report there were no signs of struggle inside of her apartment concluding that Ruslana’s death was a suicide.

May God rest her in peace!

The famous NBC newsman, Tim Russert died Friday of a massive heart attack. He was recording voice overs for Meet the Press.

Chief of cardiology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill said:

“Russert’s death is a wake-up call to thousands of men who never thought they might be courting a coronary. [...] You wouldn’t believe the calls we’ve been getting [...] Here’s an example of a high-profile person who everyone thought was healthy. When someone like that has a medical catastrophe, it causes everyone to focus.”

Apparently, Tim has been diagnosed with coronary artery disease.

The anchorman tried to avoid having the same fate like his father by doing exercises, eating healthy food and even running miles. Unfortunately his heart failed.

May God rest him in peace!

Update: Luke Russert recalls his father, Tim.

Another sad story in Hollywood! After Sydney Pollack’s death, the Great Ripper felt the need to take another star: Harvey Korman.

Four months ago Harvey suffered a rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and last night he died after some complications from the rupture. He was 81.

Harvey had won 4 Emmy Awards for his contribution to “The Carol Burnett Show“. He gained attention with his appearance on “The Danny Kaye Show”. The most memorable film role of Harvey Korman was as the outlandish Hedley Lamarr in the 1974 Western satire “Blazing Saddles“, directed by Mel Brooks.

Sydney Pollak, the famous director, producer and actor has died on 27 May 2008. He had won an Academy Award in 1985 for Out of Africa (starring Meryl Streep) but for the last 10 months he was fighting a cancer. Last August he was forced to withdraw as a director of an HBO movie due to some health problems.

The Tootsie actor was diagnosed with cancer about 10 months ago but doctors couldn’t determine the primary source of the dreadful disease.

Sydney Pollack was born in Indiana in 1934. As a young man he used to work as an acting coach and TV director before his directing debut with The Slender Thread in 1965.

He directed movies with Barbara Streisand, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford (The Way We Were), Tom Cruise (The Firm) and Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie). I think I saw at leas half of his movies and still can’d

A couple of weeks ago I told you about Hayley Wilde, the woman who defeated anorexia. Well, unfortunately not all the ladies suffering from this dreadful disease were as lucky as Hayley was.

Rosemary Pope, a professor, weighing less than 5 stone had died after torturing herself with a diet of sweets and coffee. She was just 49. Due to her strict diet for over 30 years her heart shrunk to the size of a child’s.

Since 2006 Rosemary was working as a Pro Vice Chancellor at Bournemouth University and she managed to hide her disease for over 30 years, but a few months ago her body began to fail.

In the beginning of 2008 Rosemary contracted norovirus, a stomach virus which affected her even more than anorexia. She became thiner and thiner and soon she collapsed in her house.

Born on this day:

Aretha Franklin - 1942. When she was born her mama told her she’s the real Queen, not that rock and roll singer, Tina.

Elton John - 1947. I wonder what was he like in childhood. I bet he wished all sorts of colorful glasses for his birthday! I for one, love his music!

Marcia Gross - 1962. The Desperate Housewives star is turning 46 years old today.

Sarah Jessica Parker - 1965. Was she the cutest kid from her block? Cause now she is like the most unattractive woman alive.

Jason Castro - 1987. He’s so young. And he made it to American Idol.

Katharine McPhee - 1984. She made it to finalists on the fifth season of American Idol.

This day is important because an American serial killer Gerard John Schaefer, was born.

He’s been linked to around 30 missing women and girls and has been condemned for two life sentences. Unfortunately for him, he was killed by his cell colleague, Vincent Rivera. Vincent didn’t want to tell the motive for stabbing Gerard and was sentenced to 53 more years in prison that were added to his 20 years he was already doing for double murder. And the rest is history! I guess that this guy was a muse for many script writers.
