Ron Asheton 1948-2009
Ron Asheton, guitarist and songwriter for the rock band The Stooges, was found dead in his Ann Arbor, Michigan home on Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Police believe the 60 year old may have suffered a heart attack a few days ago. Foul play has been ruled out and an autopsy and toxicology study are scheduled.
Officers were dispatched to Asheton’s home after his personal assistant had been unable to reach his client in the past few days. According to Detective Bill Stanford, they found the deceased musician on a couch in the living room at around midnight.
Asheton, in 1967, was a founding member of The Stooges, along with his drummer brother Scott Asheton, bassist Dave Alexander, and frontman Iggy Pop. The group floundered in the 70’s after their third album Raw Power flopped. They reunited in 2003 and after a hiatus of 34 years, released an album of new material in 2007 titled The Weirdness.

Actor Rip Torn appeared in Bantam Superior Count on Monday to answer a charge of DUI stemming from a traffic stop on December 14 in Salisbury, Connecticut. The 77 year old and his attorney, A. Thomas Waterfall entered a plea of not guilty, which will likely lead to a trial.
A State Trooper stopped Torn on Route 44 near the borders of New York and Massachusetts shortly after he had left the White Hart Inn. Driving a 1994 Subaru with a Christmas tree tied to the top, he was driving in the breakdown lane when police pulled him over.
Torn failed part of the field sobriety test, refused a breathalyzer test and swore at the officer. His attorney said, “All I can tell you is that we will review the reports, and Mr. Torn and I will meet to discuss his defense options. At this point, I don’t know what they are.”
Rip is amassing quite a record of DUI related stops. He was arrested in Westchester, New York in December 2006 on a charge of DUI. At that time his 1995 Chevy Cavalier collided with a tractor-trailer. He ended up paying a $380 fine and lost his license for 90 days. He was acquitted in 2004 of DUI charges that involved a fender-bender with a Manhattan taxi.
The actor has a recurring role on the Emmy-award winning NBC comedy 30 Rock. He has appeared five times in 2008 as the head of network Don Geiss.

The 6-foot tall beauty is a Baylor University track star, and works for a CBS affiliate in Austin, Texas as a sports reporter - presumably how she met McCoy.
Sports blogs began scrambling for photos and information about Glandorf in October, when searches for her heated up on the internet after she appeared on camera sitting next to McCoy’s dad in the stands at the Texas/Missouri game, leading many to believe she was Colt’s sister.
Co-Ed Magazine uncovered the details after digging around a bit.
The Fiesta Bowl left even more people wondering who the hot blonde was in the stands with McCoy’s family.
