THE PASSING OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IS TO THE FASHION WORLD, WHAT THE LOSS OF MICHAEL JACKSON WAS TO THE MUSIC WORLD

It’s with an aching heart that we must report the tragic loss of brilliant UK designer Alexander McQueen. Devastated by the death of his mother last week, Mcqueen, only 40, apparently hung himself in his London apartment. He was certainly one of the most prolific and imaginative designers of our lifetime – anyone who loved fashion aspired to own something by McQueen. The pieces we have of his are now collector’s items. In a recent interview Mcqueen said “In my passing, I do not want my label to go forward.” Mountains of flower arrangements, bouquets, and cards are heaped outside his store on Melrose Avenue and a sign says it will not re-open until Monday. It’s the end of an era.

Casey Johnson Deceased House

AT LEAST CASEY JOHNSON DIDN’T DIE IN SQUALOR

The deluge of information about Casey Johnson’s tragic death left some pertinent questions unanswered: If she was too poor to pay her utility bills, how could a MAID have discovered her body? If she had no water or lights, how could she get dressed up and go out to clubs at night? Her living conditions were described as filthy and neglected “like Grey Gardens“ but the house pictured above where her body was discovered is immaculate. If she couldn’t pay utility bills, how could she pay her rent? We investigated and were enlightened by a friendly neighbor. He clarified the following: Casey often stayed at the GUEST HOUSE of the multimillion dollar West Hollywood house pictured above. The owner was a friend of her parents. Probably she went there to escape a ramshackle abode elsewhere. Especially if bill collectors were after her. The maid belonged to the expensive main house’s owner and the property and pool are kept in pristine condition. At least Casey didn’t die under horrible conditions. Right now there’s a security guard sitting in a car in front of this house.

Deceased DJ AM Drugs Mother

THE HEARTBROKEN WOMAN DJ AM LEFT BEHIND

DJ AM’s drug related death at 36, is another Hollywood tragedy. While Adam Goldstein’s celebrity friends are calling attention to themselves by twittering about how upset they are about his abrupt departure, one person remains silent. That would be his MOTHER Andrea Gross. She was the first person Adam called from the ambulance after his near fatal plane crash. Adam’s heartbroken mother supported him all his life – through drug addiction and several visits to rehab. She took care of him after his gastric bypass and after his plane crash. When he was starting out as a DJ, she coaxed her friends into hiring him for bar mitzvahs and weddings. Andrea never gave up on her son, and it’s a real shame that he couldn’t control his addictions, and enjoy his abundant life.

Dave Matthews Band Deceased LeRoi Moore

DAVE MATTHEWS BANDMEMBER LEROI MOORE HAS DIED

Sad news. We just learned that the Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who was in an all terrain vehicle accident last month, has died at an LA hospital. LeRoi, who has been with the band since it started, was seriously injured in an accident at his ranch in Virginia. He was slowly recovering but suffered lung complications and hasn’t been able to perform. We were told that against doctors advice, he flew to LA to be with the band backstage when they open tonight at the Staples center. The flight may have affected him adversely and he died today.
