That was a close one!! He almost came on down for real... Couldn't resist....
Former "The Price is Right" game show host Bob Barker fainted while at a Los Angeles gun range Thursday.
Publicist Henri Bollinger said Barker fainted while at the gun range in Little Tujunga. Barker was taken to the hospital briefly. Thursday night Bollinger said Barker was feeling better, so they released him and he's home resting comfortably and will take it easy. The publicist said they believe it was dehydration that caused the problem.
Seriously, get well soon Bob. You're a well-watched piece of my childhood.
I'd just posted last month or something on Facebook that Roger Ebert had lost his voice, along with the ability to eat, and drink due to a freak incident during surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his jaw. His carotid artery burst.
Sometimes I wonder what I'd do if I were to suffer some debilitating accident that left me blind, paralyzed, deaf, or something. Would I descend into a state of misery and helplessness, or simply adapt and overcome? How would I adapt, and what tools would I use? I already know that the worse thing that could happen is if I lost the ability to use my computer and camera... Especially my computer though-- It's how I make my livelihood as a writer, photojournalist, programmer, and project manager. Roger is also in the same boat because he never gave up his day job; He STILL and HAS BEEN writing for the Chicago Sun Times since the 1970s. Now his trusty Macbook Pro serves another purpose as well... It gave him his voice back.
Today, on Oprah, Ebert showed off his new computerized voice. This wouldn’t be that amazing; after all, computer generated voices have been around since the original Macintosh debuted in 1984. What makes Ebert’s new voice special is that it was formed entirely out of his old voice, using clips and samples from his previous TV shows.
There are only 3 things I watch on TV with any regularity... Anime, TLC/Discover, and WWE... And if you know me, you know I take wrestling seriously. It's all about the performance, and in-ring skills... But its about the mic-skills to back it up.
Five mat-jockeys come to mind when I think about "wrasslin'" today: The Rock, John Cena, DX (HHH and HBK) and Y2J-Chris Jericho. Well guess what.
RAW is Jericho once again!! What next-- ...come on Rock... come on, just gimme a "people's elbow" just for laughs one more time!!

I can't say anything else but damn... I pray to god someone at Avex/Sony in Tokyo has already signed her to at least do the next Bleach movie theme or something... or be on a track with Koda Kumi, Amuro Namie, and Soulhead... She can even sing with Misia...
If you look closely, she even has that "sista-girl" neck thing too!! Man this chick can sing!!
As much as I love Japan, there are some things I just don't care for there though.... But I have to admit, I miss ol' Razor Ramon's antics when I would turn on the TV (or just go outside) in Japan.
