After 6 years, Phil Spector was convicted of second degree murder.

The 2003 shooting death of Lana Clarkson in his Alhambra, California home led to his being charged with murder in the second degree. His first trial ended in a mistrial.

Harvey Phillip Spector (born December 26, 1940) is an American record producer and songwriter whose fame reached its height in the 1960s.

The originator of the "Wall of Sound" production technique, Spector was a pioneer of the 1960s' girl group sound and clocked in over twenty-five Top 40 hits between 1960 and 1965. In later years he worked with such artists as Ike and Tina Turner, John Lennon, George Harrison and the Ramones with similar success, including production work on the Academy Award winning Let It Be and Grammy Award winning Concert for Bangladesh soundtracks. In 1989, Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer.

Heath Ledger won an Oscar for best supporting role at Dark Knight. 

I hate to say this, but... the only reason Heath Ledger won an Oscar is because he's dead. 

After a huge media hype, general public got on the "Best Acting of the Century" bandwagon.  But the fact is that the movie was not exactly a masterpiece.  It was just another Sci-Fi. 

It's like listening to a handicap stand up comedian.  You cannot boo him off because he's a handicap. We always give them sympathy applause. 

I believe Heath just won a sympathy Oscar.

This is what happened recently.

• Charlie Sheen's wife Brooke Sheen was hospitalized (currently pregnant with twin boys)

• Amy Winehouse was hospitalized - again...

Just be normal & be healthy.  God bless you all.
