FALK PETER DIED IN AMERICA

Four Emmy Awards WINNER AND the raspy-voiced actor,Peter Falk,died Thursday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif.here are only a handful of television characters who become unforgettable icons and whose fame lasts beyond the expiry of their programs.

Like Ralph Kramden, Sheriff Andy Taylor, Mister Spock, Tony Soprano and Archie Bunker, Lt. Columbo was a legendary figure from TV.The fun was in watching the Lieutenant demolish the suspect’s alibis and build his case piece-by-piece.

Columbo also wore a crummy raincoat, smoked cheap stogies, and didn’t seem very bright, But all that was a deception – he was brilliant and always figured out how and why a murder was committed.Falk started playing Columbo in 1971 and won four Emmys for the character. He noted that Columbo was originally a play with Thomas Mitchell of “Gone With the Wind” in the role. He was pitted against Joseph Cotten as a psychiatrist.

Falk said he was recognized 99 percent of the time for Columbo. Other times, fans mentioned his favorite film, “The In-Laws.”Peter's wife, Shera and daughter Catherine were locked in a legal battle in 2009 over the creation of a conservatorship for Peter and who would control it.  In the end, the judge appointed Shera conservator.Falk was best known to audiences as Lt. Columbo on the police series. But Falk was also known for his film work; he was nominated for two Academy Awards, for 1960's 'Murder, Inc.' and 1961's 'Pocketful of Miracles.' His last credited film role was the 2009 flick 'American Cowslip' opposite Cloris Leachman and Diane Ladd.
 MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL IN HEAVEN.

ellie goulding singing at the Royal Wedding

In a recent interview to Standard Magazine singer Ellie Goulding talks about her encounter to the royal couple and how they invited her to sing at their wedding. The forces aligned neatly in May for this episode: Osama bin Laden's death had been announced five days earlier; the show started strong with Fred Armisen as bin Laden and later had Jason Sudeikis as Satan, I've had my real rock'n'roll phase and I don't want to go back to it because I wasn't in a good place then.  I didn't realise where I was heading. And I didn't realise I'd end up here.' In 2011 she will take on her first American tour after the American release of Bright Lights and see the release of her collaboration with Tinie Tempah when his single “Wonderman” is released. And that's my dark side, I suppose, and I have to accept it will never fully leave me. The 24-year-old singer was introduced to the couple in May 2010 after her performance at the Radio 1'...

josh hamilton died,,,when he was trying to catch a foul ball

A tragic accident occurred Thursday in Arlington, Texas, where the Texas Rangers were playing the Oakland Athletics, when a 39-year-old fan fell to his death after trying to catch a foul ball thrown by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Oh how things have changed in a single year for LeBron James. It's been 365 days since the infamous "Decision" and I'm not sure that time has heeled this particular wound. Still, in the grand scheme of things, you'd have to say James, the Heat, and the NBA don't regret "the Decision"...ESPN might. In one year, the Heat came within a few games of a championship, James shook off some of his critics (at least through the Eastern Conference Finals), and the NBA Finals received tremendous ratings. night died after Josh Hamilton tossed a foul ball to him in the second inning. Shannon Stone, a Brownwood, Texas, firefighter attending the game with his young son, was along the left field outfield wall and fell throu...
