HOW did I miss THIS?

I know that the inventor of the electric guitar passed away the other day, and I'm really sorry for the loss to rock and roll, but I have to draw your attention to the most shocking news I have read on a celebrity gossip site so far today: John Hughes is dead at 59. What the hell? I haven't actually blogged about my top five or ten movies to date (its still too soon), but I will divulge that Home Alone is my number ONE. I know. Don't roll your eyes. What did you pick? Scarface? The Notebook? Pu-leeease.

Here's what The Superficial told me just now...

"Director John Hughes died of a heart attack today, according to TMZ:
Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family.He directed such '80s hit films as "The Breakfast Club," Weird Science," "Sixteen Candles" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."He was 59.
He also launched the career of Macaulay Culkin which enabled him to grow up in Hollywood and date Mila Kunis. .... I'm going to say "rest in peace" now, but I might not entirely mean it.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Hughes. I guess." (that was cold. Just cold)



And when did Macaulay Culkin date Mila Kunis? Good on him. See? I knew Kevin McAllister would come out on top in the end.

I'm shocked. Really shocked. We've lost a good one. Doesn't he look like such a nice man? And he was WALKING when he died. Who can say that? Poor guy.
