Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye was also on the comeback trail when he was murdered at the hand of his father in 1984. His "Sexual Healing" single had been a huge hit, and its album, "Midnight Love," had earned him a Grammy. Still, drug abuse and depression prevented him from taking full advantage of the newfound interest in his career. Over 25 years later Gaye is arguably more popular now than when he was alive, thanks in part to endless covers of his signature songs "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (thanks, California Raisins) and "What's Going On." Two separate biopics are currently in the works, which will only keep the flame burning brighter.

On Celebrity Reality TV Trainwrecks...Sardonica said "How is she anymore a train wreck than ANY body else, celebrity or not? We all have our issues. She is at least trying to better herself, not trash those around her, or laugh at the misfortunes of others. You're as bad as Perez. YOU are the one that needs to get a life, not her. "

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...ratt said "Don't the people who read this crap have anything at all better to worry about? Is it REALLY any of your concern what this movie star or that musician is up to in their personal lives? Did any of you useless tabloid bottom feeding twats notice that I used the word PERSONAL? Not likely, because the people that read this stuff don't think anyone has a life that they can't have access to. A word for those who have nothing better to do than concern themselves about others in the spotlight... pathetic."

jesslisby said "I personaly think that Sonny is better off with jesse and sandra.she has her father and another woman whom is not her mother to teach her to be a honest, compassionat and trustyworthy young lady. which her so called mother could not of ever taught her.her mother teaches her to lie and steal. What type of mother is that. if sunny was to stay with her mother, she would only learn to be a horrible person with no morals or values. is that what you would want for your child or yourself growing up. sunny is a child yes....but she knows tha jesse and sandra are trying to protect her and give her a good life. at least sandra cares about her and loves her..."
