ENTERTANMENT WORLD MOURNS LOSS OF GLENN FREY
As word spread of the death of The Eagles band member Glenn Frey, tributes and messages began appearing on social media sites as friends and peers shared their thoughts and memories of the founding member of one of the most successful bands of all time.
"He was my fellow road warrior ... " wrote Linda Ronstadt, who hired Frey in one of her first backup bands. Another early supporter and fellow Detroit native, Bob Seger, said, “He had a drive, an imagination and a talent that was just titanic.”
Huey Lewis penned, “Glenn Frey. I’m shocked. A brilliant songwriter and a really good guy. Talented, funny, cynical and sweet.” The Doobie Brothers wrote, “Glenn Frey’s passing leaves another tremendous void in the Rock world.”
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian tweeted, “Oh man ... Glenn Frey. Damn it. RIP…” and The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz, said, “Joining the heavenly band… RIP Glenn Frey…”
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis wrote, “The lights are dimmed at The Hotel California. Thanks for the soundtrack to my youth. RIP Glenn Frey.” Actor George Takai said, “May the stars of the Southern Sky greet you tonight, Glenn Frey. Thank you for great Eagles tunes like ‘Hotel California.’ Charles Esten said, “RIP Glenn Frey. Thank you for the beautiful music. It inspired so many.”
Stephen King penned, “So sorry to hear about the passing of Glenn Frey. Great songwriter, great musician, great talent.” Magic Johnson signed in with, “I’m in shock as I learned that my friend Glenn Frey has passed away, and I send our prayers out to Glenn Frey’s family. Rest in peace my friend.”
Guitarist Steve Lukather said, “RIP Glenn Frey. Another legend gone too soon.” Ringo Starr penned, “God Bless Glenn Frey. Peace and love to his family and friends.” Bette Midler wrote, “Glenn Frey, founding member of the Eagles, a band I just loved, has died. His songs, those sounds, perfectly captured those days … 70s LA…”
“Glenn Frey – our condolences to friends and family. Rest in peace,” wrote Gene Simmons, while Nikki Sixx said, “RIP Glenn Frey … Thank you for all the great songs and powerful lyrics ….Jesus can the reaper please take a break for awhile…”
Carole King penned, “RIP Glenn Frey. Deepest condolences to his family and the Eagles.” Justin Timberlake remembered, “My Mom used to play Eagles records for me on my way to grade school. We lost one of the greatest songwriters ever today...”
Eagles drummer and vocalist Don Henley issued a statement, saying, "He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But, the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved.
We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream: to make our mark in the music industry -- and with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed. But, Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the spark plug, the man with the plan.
He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and a work ethic that wouldn't quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial, generous, deeply talented and driven. He loved his wife and kids more than anything. We are all in a state of shock, disbelief and profound sorrow. We brought our two-year 'History of the Eagles Tour' to a triumphant close at the end of July and now he is gone.
I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some."
AMY SCHUMER PUTS DAMPER ON TEEN FILM CRITIC
After Amy Schumer befriended a teenage film critic at the Critic’s Choice Awards, the 17-year-old posted a photo of the two of them with a comment he thought was funny.
Schumer didn’t appreciate the joke. Jackson Murphy, who has a website called “Lights-Camera-Jackson,” posted a note on Twitter with his selfie that said, “Spent the night with @amyschumer. Certianly not the first guy to write that.”
The “Trainwreck” star was not amused, and replied, “I get it. Cause I’m a whore? Glad I took a photo with you. Hi to your dad.”
Murphy deleted the tweet and apologized – not once but twice. In the first tweet, he said, “Thought you’d like the joke. I should leave the comedy to you! Thanks for the photo. Glad you won last night!”
In another tweet, he was even more sincere, saying, “I truly apologize for the tweet I posted earlier. I’m not a comedian and it wasn’t funny.”
Schumer replied, “That’s really okay honey. I just remember thinking you and your dad were sweet and it was a bummer to read that.”
TWO-YEAR-OLD NOAH CHAMBERLIN STILL MISSING
The toddler who disappeared on Thursday while hiking with his grandmother in West Tennessee is still missing.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers and volunteers continue to comb the woods where Noah Chamberlin disappeared, but they have found no sign of the young child.
Temperatures have fallen into the teens with wind chill factors in the single digit, yet Chester County sheriff Blair Weaver says he has faith that Noah will be found.
Volunteers are searching in one hour shifts because the weather is so cold it isn’t deemed safe for them to be out any longer in the cold. Most volunteers say when the life of a child is at stake, they don’t think about the cold or how it is affecting them while they search for him.
Searchers are trying to cover about 1,000 acres of rough terrain, which is hard to do given the weather and the difficulties of finding one person in an area that big.
