Last night, two men by the name of De’Von “Day Day” Pickett and Eric Parker were involved in a bar fight in Philadelphia, resulting in Day Day being stabbed to death, and Eric fighting for his life in the hospital. I’m truly sad to report this, as Day Day was a friend of mine and one of the sweetest people in the business. The men had been in Philly for tour rehearsals, as reported by both Nicki Minaj and Fabolous. (I’m slightly confused on Nicki and Fab’s posts, as they both said “my” tour. I’m going to assume that they are going on tour together?) Day Day also worked as road manager for Pusha T, who posted a heartfelt tribute upon hearing the news.
Longtime 60 Minutes news correspondent Bob Simon passed away after being involved in a fatal car crash in New York City at approximately 7 PM. He was riding in the backseat of a Town Car when it collided with a Black Mercedes and hit a median. Simon was taken to Roosevelt Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. According to reports, “The Town Car was so badly mangled, rescuers had to pry open the roof to extract him from the rear of the car.” The driver of Simon’s car was also taken to Roosevelt Hospital where he suffered from two broken legs, but he is currently listed in stable condition. Reports show that the driver might have possibly suffered from a heart attack either during the crash or before. The 23-year-old driver of the Mercedes said, “He swerved into me. He hit me and he looked like he lost control of the car.” Simon was found unresponsive with extreme head and stomach injuries, according to the police. CBS News President David Rodes released a statement on Simon’s tragic death. He said, “Bob Simon was a giant of broadcast journalism, and a dear friend to everyone in the CBS News family. We are all shocked by this tragic, sudden loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob’s extended family and especially with our colleague Tanya Simon.” Our prayers go out to Simon and his entire family. May he rest in peace!
It’s going to be some time before we get the full deal on what happened in Suge Knight’s fatal hit-and-run earlier this month, but more details continue to be released in the meantime. According to the latest report, the entire fight was due to Suge Knight’s likeness being used in Straight Outta Compton, something he both didn’t like and didn’t sign off on. TMZ says Terry Carter (the man that ended up being killed) set up a meeting for Suge to discuss things with Dr. Dre, but it was Suge’s fight with actor Cle “Bone” Sloan that ended things before they could even begin. Dr. Dre denies any meeting having been set up, however.
Both the Houstons and the Browns have been bickering over the tragic condition of 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina, but it seems as if both sides have finally come to an agreement. Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney and the grandmother of Bobbi, brought up a point this weekend that since there is no saving Bobbi, they should pull the plug on Wednesday, February 11th, which is the three year anniversary that Whitney Houston was found dead in almost the same setting as Bobbi. Sources close to the family said Bobby Brown was “waiting for a miracle from God” before taking his daughter off of life-support, but it seems as if there is just no way Bobbi will come out of her medically-induced coma.
The final play call of Super Bowl XLIX continues to eat at Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and fans alike. It is always easy to second guess something after the fact, but this level of criticism over a play call may be unprecedented. It only gets worse when one of your fans passes away and the family actually mentions the team in the obituary as a cause of death! Michael Sven Vedvik was a longtime Hawks’ fan who passed yesterday. The family made sure to mention the team as why Michael left them so early. That is so cold.
