Eddie Fisher dies at 82
Image Credit: Popperfoto/Getty ImagesPop idol Eddie Fisher died on Wednesday due to complications from a recent hip surgery, his family announced on Thursday. He was 82. Fisher, father to actress Carrie Fisher, was one of the most successful pop singers of the 1950s. In addition to chart-topping hits, like “Thinking of You,” “Walking Behind You,” and “Oh! My Pa-Pa,” Fisher also had the TV variety show Coke Time with Eddie Fisher and The Eddie Fisher Show. He fell out of the spotlight with the advent of rock’n'roll, though he continued to record well into the 1960s.
Fisher was married five times. He had two children, Carrie and Todd, with his first wife, actress-singer Debbie Reynolds, whom he famously left for second wife Elizabeth Taylor. Carrie Fisher has compared her parents’ messy divorce and father’s re-marriage to Taylor to the modern-day Jennifer Aniston-Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie saga. Fisher was also married to actress Connie Stevens, with whom he had two more children, actresses Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher. His fourth marriage, at 47, was to 21-year-old beauty queen, Terry Richard. It ended after 10 months. His fifth (and longest) marriage was to Betty Lin, a Chinese-born businesswoman. She died in 2001.

Bret Michaels to undergo heart surgery
Poison frontman Bret Michaels will undergo surgery in January to repair a defect in his heart, his rep confirms with EW. This surgery is just the latest in a string of medical issues Michaels has dealt with this year. In April, the rocker had an emergency appendectomy, followed by a brain hemorrhage. In May he was hospitalized again with a “warning stroke.” Michaels then announced on his official website his doctors had discovered a hole in his heart, also known as Patent Foramen Ovale. The scheduled surgery will attempt to repair the PFO. His rep is unsure of the recovery time, but said Michaels should be able to promote his autobiography Roses & Thorns: The Reality of My Rock & Roll Fantasy, due out March 15.
