Billy Mays' Sudden Death
Monday, June 29th, 2009 @ 2:41pm
So sad, and so random. TMZ is reporting that the results of Billy Mays' autopsy by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner shows no connection between Mays' death and his Saturday rough aircraft landing, which May's reported to suffering a head blow when the front tires of US Airways Flight 1421 blew upon landing. The doctor had reported:
"No signs of internal or external head trauma."
Unfortunately, it looks as though Mays' died from complications due to heart disease. Dr. Chrostowski said the autopsy showed "hypertensive and arteriosclerotic disease of the heart" -- which is known to cause sudden death.
The official cause of death will soon be announced once all test results are in. Stay tuned with TMZ.
Are Overweight Stars Making Obesity Normal?
Monday, June 29th, 2009 @ 2:19pm
It seems that overweight celebrities are becoming role models for making obesity seem acceptable, just as too skinny or anorexic celebs do -- at least according to Professor Michael McMahon of Nuffield Health, who says overweight celebrities such as James Corden, star of 'Gavin and Stacey', are making dangerous weight gain seem normal.
With the media focusing on skinny images, and now obese images, Prof. McMahon believes that the public is now accepting these obese images as normal. He said:
"The increasing profile of larger celebrities, for example James Corden, Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Jones and Beth Ditto, means that being overweight is now perceived as being 'normal' in the eyes of the public.
"We talk about the dangers of skinny media images, but the problem actually swings both ways."
He added:
"If people continue to turn a blind eye to their weight problems, they will see their life expectancy considerably shortened," he warned.
The percentage of obese Britains has doubled in the last ten years from 11% to 23% this year, according to research. I guess Americans aren't the only ones with obesity problems.
According to Mikyla Dodd, an overweight actress, defended the overweight role models telling the BBC's Five Live:
