They probably won't release any of the tracks they've recorded but haven't released yet, out of respect for her loved ones.

Yeah, like that really stopped Tupac's mother or whoever it was.

People keep talking about how she wasted all that talent and was a great artist, but I don't think I've ever heard a single song of hers. I've only known her as "that crazy bitch in the news" and I can't believe she was only 27, she looked way older than me.

I hadn't heard her songs either, looked them up on YouTube after I heard the news. Some of them are pretty good, though I think her voice is kinda annoying ^^;

Winehouse was mostly famous in England, she never really hit it off here because she was an open druggy and radio stations didn't want to give her any exposure.

I envy you. I accidentally heard some Bieber, when my sister unplugged the headphones in her Ipod. Scarred for life.

Hot Wheels Creator Dies at 95. What’s Your Favorite Hot Wheels Memory?


Hot Wheels Creator and Mattel toy company co-founder Elliot Handler died last Thursday from heart failure, the New York Times reports. He was 95 years old. A designer with an entrepreneurial spirit, Handler is credited with dreaming up such toys as Barbie and Chatty Cathy, but car fanatics everywhere will likely remember him for his later creation, Hot Wheels toy cars.

Born in 1916, Handler began his career sculpting light fixtures after studying industrial design at California’s Art Center College of Design. His big break came in 1939, when Handler and wife Ruth started making costume jewelry and dollhouse furniture in the garage of their Southern California home. There, he and partner Harold “Matt” Matson formed Mattel toys – a name derived from the combination of Matt and Elliot.

After seeing wild sales success with his dolls, Handler turned his attention to die-cast toy cars. Mattel enlisted the help of designers from automakers like GM to reinvent the toy car. This led to the invention of a manufacturing process for fast-spinning plastic wheels. Handler called his new product “Hot Wheels” when the toy line arrived on store shelves in 1968. In the more-than-40 years since the toy’s introduction, over 10,000 unique Hot Wheels models have been produced, including such famous designs as “King ‘Kuda,” the “Beatnik Bandit,” and “Evil Weevil.”

“He loved coming up with new cars,” his brother, Sid Handler, told the New York Times. “He was a quiet, kind man. I think that’s why he liked [designing] toys so much. They make people happy.”

We tend to agree with that last sentiment. Like many auto enthusiasts, our fascination with cars began with toys like Hot Wheels. One of the highlights of our collective childhood was seeing those colorful, outrageously styled, chrome-laden cars glistening in the package every time we went to the store. And when mom let us pick one out to take home, life was most certainly good. Thanks for all the memories, Mr. Handler.
