Reports are that Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack on a flight from London to LAX.  An EMT on the plane treated her, and once the craft landed she was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.

Update is that she is in stable condition.  That's a good thing.
Then again, it might be the first time in decades she's been in stable condition.

Lemme translate into Icehog for you, Tom.  Think Wayne Gretzky turning enforcer goon for the Blue Jackets.

There's an analogy I can sink my teeth into.

Looks like Princess Leia has passed away.
Prayers for her family.

The Force is weak in me, but I had a bad feeling from the start.  Rest in peace, Carrie, in the knowledge that you shall be remembered for a long time.

Sad news.  We watched the Blues Brothers movie last night where she played Belushi's psycho ex-girlfriend.  She did a good job in that role.

As I feared, and even halfway expected, Debbie Reynolds has been taken to the hospital in "fair to serious" condition, with a possible stroke suspected.
