- The Tragically Hip -- Band
Dippy journalists aside, there's no mistaking that The Tragically Hip are the premier rock band of the Great White North. Look no further than the Hip's Zoë/Rounder debut album, "In Violet Light" (released June 11). - Blood Brothers -- West End
Bill Kenwright picked up the rights to the musical in 1987, and a re-vamped Blood Brothers returned to the West End the following year. It was the first West End revival to be nominated for the Best Musical Revival Olivier Award within two years of winning the Original Best Musical production! It transferred from the Albery to the Phoenix four years later in 1991, where it remains today. - Vivian Stanshall -- Rawlinson End
The phrase is one coined by Vivian Stanshall, poet, jazzist, artist and film-maker. It's buried in the script for 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End': the fine film featuring Trevor Howard and Stanshall himself - although the first incarnation was on Radio 1 in the U.K. on the late-lamented John Peel's BBC Radio 1 programme 'Top Gear' in the 1970s. The floating plum pudding suitably obscures the traditional Santa's face in the way of Rene Magritte's paintings. (See another homage to this here.) It is said that the young Magritte's mother drowned and was found with her nightdress over her face. This nightmarish image recurrs in many paintings including the men with the bowler hats and the couple embracing, both their faces covered in cloth. - Marvin Gaye -- Smokey Robinson
David Ritz, whose lyrics include "Sexual Healing," is the biographer of Marvin Gaye (Divided Soul, Da Capo Press), Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, producer Jerry Wexler and Etta James. His current novel is Take It Off, Take It All Off! Ritz won a 1992 Grammy for liner notes. - Sal Mineo -- Death
By 1976 Mineo's career seemed to be turning around again. Playing the role of a gay burglar in a San Francisco run of the stage comedy "P.S. Your Cat Is Dead", he received substantial publicity from many positive reviews and moved on to Los Angeles with the play. Arriving home after a rehearsal on February 12, 1976, Mineo was stabbed to death in the alley behind his West Hollywood apartment building. According to Warren Johansson and William A. Percy's Outing: Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence, p.91, he was murdered under circumstances that suggested "a homosexual motive." When he died, Mineo was 37. - Into -- Jon Krakauer
In his novel Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer shares his personal experiences in the wilderness in an attempt to convince his audience that he has much in common with the man around whom the story revolves. In a particular expedition, Krakauer seems ambivalent during his journey, and that ambivalence is analyzed here. - Robert Bresson -- Mouchette
In 1969, the aging Bresson made his first color film. Une femme douce (A Gentle Creature) was based on a story by Dostoyevsky and featured future French star Dominique Sanda - then a 17-year-old unknown - in its lead role of a struggling young woman who marries a pawnbroker but finds herself bitterly unhappy. Bresson did not back down in the face of criticism, for this film, like Mouchette, ends with a suicide. Bresson followed that film up with another Dostoyevsky adaptation, Quatre nuits d'un rêveur (Four Nights of a Dreamer) in 1971, one of the director's rare love stories. - Vanna White -- George Santo Pietro
In 1993, Vanna White won a lawsuit over an advertisement of Samsung electronics as they have shown a robot organizing the puzzle cards.

In 2002, she got separated with her husband George Santo Pietro and maintained the custody of her two kids. She later became engaged with businessman Michael Kaye but broke up in 2006. For her celebrity status and high visibility, Vanna White has always remained the center of attraction for media.
