Note: Did you know that Robert Goulet was in the movie "Beetlejuice"?

He was in the scene where the family have their friends over and they wind up doing all sorts of crazy things, lol. I think this is also the scene where the "Day-O" song is played.

I just heard about that myself. It's sad; he was very talented.

I don't recall seeing him in Bettlejuice, but then it has been a long time since I saw it.

I wonder if they still run that TV commercial that was on a few weeks ago, where he crawls around on the ceiling like Spider-Man? I imagine not.

I don't believe I have ever seen that commercial, so I can't say. Maybe someone else has seen it or knows about it.

A wrestling legend has passed away. She was 84 years old.

Fabulous Moolah, (Lillian Ellison) ~ (1923-2007).

Condolences to The Osmond Family on the loss of their dad.

George Osmond - (1917-2007)

Note: Mr. Osmond and his wife, Olive, had 9 children, over 50 grandchildren, and over 40 great-grandchildren.

Many of his children became well-known entertainers, including Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, and later Donny & Jimmy (The Osmond Brothers singers). Their sister, Marie Osmond is also a famous singer/entertainer and together Donny & Marie hosted "The Donny & Marie Show". Marie Osmond is currently one of the "stars" on abc's "Dancing With The Stars". The Osmonds are celebrating their 50 years in show business with a PBS special sometime in March, I think.
