The family of “Taxi” star Jeff Conaway has decided to turn off his life support machine, according to a report from Radar Online.
Conaway’s family has been holding a vigil at his bedside in a Los Angeles hospital since he was found unconscious in his home and brought to a hospital on May 11. The 60-year-old star, who has appeared on “Celebrity Rehab” is thought to have suffered a prescription drug overdose.
But now, as doctors reportedly tell the family that he has had no brain function, they have decided to turn off his life support, Radar reports.
“The feeding tube has already been removed. The ventilator which is breathing for Jeff, will be removed sometime this afternoon,” sources tell Radar.
“Jeff in is no pain whatsoever … no measures will be made to try and revive him once the breathing tube is removed.”
Conaway is best known for his role in “Taxi” and as the sidekick to John Travolta in the 1978 classic, “Grease.”
edit to add:
After spending weeks in a coma thought to be brought on by a prescription drug overdose, “Taxi” star Jeff Conaway has died, according to a report from Radar Online. He was 60 years old.
Naomi Campbell is considering "every option available," including a lawsuit, after Cadbury used her name to promote its new Bliss chocolate bar.
The advertisement reads, "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town," with an image of the candy posed on a mound of diamonds. Campbell said, "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful." Her mother, Valerie Morris, explained, "I'm deeply upset by this racist advert. Do these people think they can insult black people and we just take it? This is the 21st century, not the 1950s. Shame on Cadbury."

This is a chick who uses violence to get a point across. I cannot believe that she is so sensitive that she feels she's been compared to chocolate for christssake.
I'm never really offended by stuff like that and even if I were to be called honky, cracker or anything like that it wouldn't bother me. I'm pretty secure in who I am and one would think she would be too. I think it's stupid bullshit.

Not having seen the ad, just reading the thread. I'm curious as whether her pic & or last name were used in the ad. Cause if not, maybe she's not the only Naomi in the world, and it really doesn't revolve around her as she seems to think. Haven't seen her in the public eye too much lately, so here's one way for her to get back in the media.
