Dick CLark just passed away
Dick Clark dead at 82 | National News - The Greatest Hits of All Time
TMZ - Dick Clark -- famed TV producer, and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host -- died from a massive heart attack this morning ... TMZ has learned. He was 82. Details surrounding his death are unclear, but Clark had suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Years' Rockin' Eve," which he created in 1972. Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006. Dick has co-hosted the show ever since. Before suffering a stroke, Clark told Larry King he suffered from Type 2 diabetes. Clark has been married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton. "For now, Dick Clark ... so long."

Hard to believe. I always thought Dick Clark was immortal. Been around as long as I can remember.

I though he was older, the stroke really took him down. RIP

And it's already on wikipedia.
Dick Clark and Don Cornelius both fired within two moments of each other. Whacky |

Dick Clark is such a great national icon. I appreciate the fact that he was around for so long and without really any controversy. He seemed like a good guy. RIP Dick!

entertaining the idea

Is it sad that I read a few status updates on Facebook about Dick's passing and I came here first for confirmation of the story?
RIP Dick. |
