Sorry I didn't answer your post on the other thread, beatlies, but I think Mary Tyler Moore was replaced many times, as are all celebrities, especially ones that have been in the business as long as she has. Really.... do you have photo/video comparisons to share? MTM has been bothering me for a while because I have not been able to pin her as having been impostered, and there is a distinct lack of pre-Dick Van d*ke Show (started in1961) photos or film footage available. Some of the 1950s Happy Hotpoint commercial dancing elf stuff she did is on youtube but it is all in long shot and indistinct/poor resolution. Am I wrong about it being the same woman on the DVD Show (1961-66) and the MTM show (1970-77)? Am most eager for your opinions on her. And I am interested in which major celebrities have NOT been replaced, and why they are exceptions to the apparent rule.

"Brooke Hogan on Nude Photo Backlash: Stop Picking on Me!
Brooke Hogan has one thing to say to people who criticize her for her decision to unveil an arty nude photo in front of her father recently: leave me alone!
"Im SO sick of people saying me and my dad are in some perverted relationship," she Tweeted on Saturday morning, days after revealing the photo in Miami. "Go home and do your own thing! Stop picking on me!"
For his part, Hulk Hogan didn't scold his daughter for posing completely nude for PETA. In fact, he embraced the concept – sort of.
When Brooke, 23, brought her dad along to the unveiling of the photo at Miami's Cafeina Lounge on Thursday, Papa Hogan was actually photographed with the shot, a source tells PEOPLE. The photo, however, was not as scandalous as it sounds.
"When Hulk saw the racy photo of his daughter, he posed in front of her picture hiding her private parts with his hands," the source says.[/i]

Looks like they fall again like flies. One more murder passing as suicide...
"Jets forward Rick Rypien, 27, found dead in Alberta home
Another hockey player gone too soon: Rick Rypien(notes), who played parts of six seasons as a forward with the Vancouver Canucks, was found dead in his Alberta home on Monday.
News 1130 in Vancouver reported late Monday that Rypien took his own life (original story is here) but later changed that language to a "non-suspicious, sudden death."
From James Mirtle of the Globe & Mail, who broke the news:
Former Vancouver Canucks tough guy Rick Rypien was found dead by a family member on Monday in Crowsnest Pass, Alta.
Rypien, who signed with the Winnipeg Jets in July, had missed most of last season because of a leave of absence from the Canucks for personal issues. Local RCMP told The Globe and Mail on Monday night that the death was not suspicious.
The report was confirmed by TSN. His death comes three months after the passing of New York Rangers fighter Derek Boogaard(notes) at 28, from what medical examiners ruled was an "accidental mixture of alcohol and oxycodone."
Known primarily for his role as a fighter and physical presence in the lineup, Rypien amassed 226 penalty minutes in 119 NHL games. He was 27, and had signed with the Winnipeg Jets last month after a controversial season with the Canucks.
Rypien gained infamy last season when he snapped during an Oct. 2010 game at the Minnesota Wild, grabbing a fan that had taunted him with applause as he left the ice after a misconduct penalty. Rypien was suspended six games and the Canucks were fined $25,000.
In Nov. 2010, Rypien was granted an indefinite leave of absence from the Canucks for "personal matters." In March 2011, he was placed on the AHL Manitoba Moose's "reserve list" prior to the league's trade deadline, a sign he was on the comeback trail. He played 11 games for the Moose in 2010-11, and scored a game-winning overtime goal in the AHL playoffs.
Said Rypien to the Winnipeg Sun in March, after joining the Moose on a conditioning stint:
"(The issues) are behind me and one thing I want to 100% clarify is that there's no substance abuse at all — it's the farthest thing from it," said Rypien. "This is a personal matter. It's kind of a rare issue and even though it's taken me away from the game I love, doing the work I've done the last couple of months I've made a lot of gains as a person and as an individual.
"I got to really understand and have a relationship with myself, which I've never had the opportunity to do before. With how far I've come and progressed these last few months, I really believe deep down that it's going to benefit my on-ice performance."
Rypien was signed as a free agent by the Winnipeg Jets on July 4.
While last season was a trying one for Rypien personally and professionally, the fact that he was an NHL player was an inspiring feat. His birthplace of Coleman, Alberta was a town of about 1,000 people, yet Rypien made the NHL as an undrafted player. He was 5-foot-11, yet threw himself into the role as a fighter against larger foes.
The Canucks website had an enlightening chat with Rypien last year about his journey to the NHL, including:
What was the biggest obstacle to get to where you are today?
Not being drafted and always being smaller and and probably no one in a million years thought I could do it. Trying to overcome that, i just tried to stay positive and knowing that I could do it. I think not being drafted and having to work your way after that. You kind of look at it and think which way to go but I got lucky enough after junior that Craig Heisinger picked me up and just went from there. I met Craig in my last junior season with the Regina Pats, he called me up with the Manitoba Moose during the lockout year and got started there. He gave me a great opportunity and I tried to make the most of it.
I always knew that if I worked hard enough - and I always felt something inside that told me I could do it - so if I worked hard enough I would get there.
We'll have more when it becomes available. Thoughts and prayers to Rick Rypien's family and friends during this tragedy."

"Brooklyn rapper Kampane found slain in New Jersey: Performer was shot, then torched in back of SUV
An up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper was found slain in New Jersey early Tuesday - his torched body left in the back of an SUV that was abandoned in a suburban cul-de-sac.
The remains of Kampane, a little-known lyricist and performer whose real name is Rhian Stoute, were so charred authorities needed most of Tuesday to make an identification, the Bergen County Prosecutor's office said.
Kampane, unmarried and without children, had been shot at least once, law enforcement sources told the Cliffview Pilot website.
"Everybody loved him," said Russell Jackson, Kampane's 33-year-old cousin. "We're shocked. It's very confusing...This is out of nowhere."
The 33-year-old's corpse was discovered about 8 a.m., crammed inside the back of a black Chevy Tahoe with New York license plates that was parked in a residential neighborhood in Paramus, N.J., authorities said.
Investigators believe Kampane was killed elsewhere and then ditched in Paramus.
"We have no information as to the nature and location of where the death occurred," said Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli. "We do not believe it occurred at the location where the vehicle and body were discovered."
The Bergen County Medical Examiner was performing an autopsy Tuesday. An official from the Paramus Police Department declined to comment Tuesday night.
Kampane was born in Brooklyn and raised in Flatbush, according to the rapper's website. His site said he toured with the group "Roc-a-Fella" 11 years ago and was currently promoting his new single: "What You Drinking On."
"He was a cool, comedian-type kind-of-guy. He should have been an actor. He brought everyone's energy up," said Jackson. "He was ambitious. He was taking all the steps necessary to break out in the music business."

"Ted Williams - I've Been Financially Raped"
Ted Williams has filed a lawsuit that will make you cry.
Williams -- the homeless guy who became famous for his voice of thunder -- claims when he hit it big earlier this year, he couldn't handle the pressure and was plagued with "significant drug and alcohol abuse" and was "totally incapable of understanding what was happening to him or handling [his] own affairs."
Williams got hooked up with Zev Suissa, Randy Thomas and Joe Cipriano -- also known as the defendants. According to the lawsuit, the trio took Williams for a ride, knowing he was suffering from severe substance abuse.
The suit claims Suissa, Thomas and Cipriano got Williams to sign a "one-sided, onerous, burdensome, non-negotiated and blatantly unfair" deal that gives them a huge chunk of any money Williams makes.
Williams now wants a judge to void the contract.
Short story ... sounds like he signed his life away. "

" 'Girls Gone Wild' creator charged with assault
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors have charged "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joseph Francis with assault, false imprisonment and other misdemeanor crimes for allegedly attacking a woman he met at a Hollywood club, but the businessman said he has witnesses and evidence that will exonerate him.
The charges filed against Francis and his bodyguard stem from an alleged January altercation that began when three women got into his limousine outside a popular nightspot. Prosecutors claim the women thought they were being driven to their car but were taken to Francis' gated home, where a struggle ensued and he allegedly slammed one woman's head on a tile floor.
He faces to five years in jail if convicted, but Francis said in a phone interview Tuesday that he is innocent.
He said he has eight eyewitnesses who will testify on his behalf and security footage from three cameras.
"This did not happen," he said.
He claimed that police and the district attorney's office rejected filing charges against him, but that City Attorney Carmen Trutanich is pursuing the case for political reasons.
District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison said county prosecutors declined to file felony charges against Francis in late July, but referred the case to Trutanich's office for possible misdemeanor charges.
Francis said Trutanich is trying to prosecute him because the city attorney is considering a run for higher office, a claim that spokesman Frank Mateljan denies. "We filed charges based on the facts in the police report and nothing else," he said.
Trutanich has not yet announced whether he will run for district attorney, but his name has been floated as a possible candidate.
"He is dead in the water," Francis said. "He is going to get embarrassed."
Francis' friend, Mark Rousso, said he was in the limo with the women, and that two of them started fighting with each other on the way to Francis' home.
"It was the other way around," Rousso said. "Joe was trying to stop it."
Another woman, Madi Matichak, said she first met Francis at the club on the night of the incident and that the soft-porn mogul was upstairs when the girls resumed their fight in the driveway of his home.
Francis' bodyguard, Vagram Gegdzhyan, had offered to give them a ride home but called them a cab after one of the women hit him, Matichak said.
Both Francis and Gegdzhyan turned themselves in to police on Monday and were freed on bail. They were scheduled to appear for an arraignment on Sept. 16.
Gegdzhyan, who is also accused of impersonating a peace officer after allegedly flashing a sheriff's deputy's badge in the limo, could be jailed for up to six years if convicted.
In 2008, Francis pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges in Florida after spending nearly a year in jail. He later won a civil case filed by women who claimed he had caused them emotional distress by making them flash their breasts for some of his "Girls Gone Wild" videos.
The following year he was sentenced to time served and a year of probation after pleading guilty to filing false income tax returns and bribing Nevada jail workers."

"Former Cy Young winner Flanagan found dead at home
BALTIMORE (AP) — Mike Flanagan, a former Cy Young winner and part of the Baltimore Orioles' 1983 World Series championship team, has died. He was 59.
Authorities found a body outside Flanagan's home in Monkton, Md., on Wednesday afternoon. Hours later, the Orioles confirmed that Flanagan — who served the team as a pitcher, front office executive and television broadcaster — was dead.
"I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. He was a good friend and teammate," said Hall of Fame third baseman Cal Ripken Jr., a former teammate of Flanagan's. "... Mike was an Oriole through and through and he will be sorely missed by family, friends and fans. This is a sad day."
Flanagan was a crafty left-hander who went 167-143 with a 3.90 ERA over 18 seasons with Baltimore and Toronto. He didn't possess an overpowering fastball, but won a fair share of games by depending on a slow curve, a sinker and a changeup.
An All-Star in 1978, Flanagan received the Cy Young Award with the Orioles in 1979 after going 23-9 with a 3.08 ERA and five shutouts. The Orioles lost the World Series that year in seven games to Pittsburgh.
"He's one of our family. A great friend, competitor, whit, funny, hysterical, talented," former teammate and Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer said after doing the Orioles' telecast Wednesday night in Minneapolis. "He was a breath of fresh air with his humor, his insight all those things. He was just a terrific guy."
Flanagan played for Baltimore's 1983 championship team, finishing 12-4 despite missing nearly three months with ligament damage in his left knee.
He was 141-116 with Baltimore and is a member of the team's Hall of Fame. Flanagan was also the final Oriole to pitch at Memorial Stadium, Baltimore's home from 1954-1991.
"Since the day I was given the number 46 I've had thousands of people tell me that that was the number of their favorite pitcher for the Orioles when they were growing up," Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie said. "From Day One I think I've been reminded of the legacy and the work that Mike did not only as a player, but as a member of the community in Baltimore."
Flanagan's career with Toronto was not as profound. Traded from Baltimore to the Blue Jays on August 31, 1987, for pitchers Oswaldo Peraza and Jose Mesa, he went 3-2 with Toronto that season, then 13-13 and 8-10.
He signed as a free agent with Baltimore in 1991 and pitched out of the bullpen during his final two seasons.
After his playing career, Flanagan worked as the Orioles' vice president for baseball operations and executive VP. He teamed with Jim Duquette in the front office from 2005-07 in an effort to make Baltimore a winner.
"We spent hour after hour, day after day, trying to improve the Orioles," Duquette said late Wednesday night. "What stood out to me was his love for the Orioles and Baltimore. He was just so passionate about trying to get the Orioles back to where they were."
Duquette said he was "devastated and heartbroken" to learn of Flanagan's death.
"I just talked to him yesterday," Duquette said. "He was looking forward to broadcasting the Yankees series coming up."
In recent years, including this season, Flanagan did color commentary for the team's TV network, combining his wry sense of humor with a knowledge of the game that came from decades of experience.
"It is with deep sadness that I learned of the death of my friend Mike Flanagan earlier this evening," Orioles owner Peter Angelos said in a statement. "In over a quarter century with the organization, Flanny became an integral part of the Orioles family, for his accomplishments both on and off the field. His loss will be felt deeply and profoundly by all of us with the ballclub and by Orioles fans everywhere who admired him."
Flanagan grew up in Manchester, N.H., and pitched for the University of Massachusetts before being drafted by the Orioles in the seventh round of the 1973 draft. He made his major league debut in 1975. From 1977 through 1983, he made more starts (223) than any pitcher in the American League and was third in wins (109) during that span."
How about the CAUSE OF THE DEATH, morons?

"Xtina's Lawyer Attacks Website - She's NO Child Abuser!
Christina Aguilera is furious over an Internet report implying that she beat her son Max and gave him a black eye ... and now TMZ has learned she's threatening to sue.
Aguilera's attorney, Eric Greenspan, fired off a letter to MediaTakeOut.com ... after the site published a story under the headline, "CHILD ABUSE? CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S SON IS PHOTO'D WITH A BLACK EYE!!!"
Greenspan writes, "Christina is a wonderful mother and was not present in the park when Max fell and hurt himself."
He adds, "To imply that she had something to do with this incident, without any investigation on your part whatsoever, is reckless and unconscionable."
After threatening to pursue legal action against the site, Greenspan concludes, "HAVE YOU NO SHAME!!!!"
MTO has since removed the child abuse reference from the headline."
See for urself... Poor kid... Of course everybody is in denial. For all I know, such bruises one gets when he gets a fist blow in the cheek/eye, not from falling when playing as those retards suggest.

"Flanagan death ruled suicide by medical examiner
BALTIMORE (AP) — Former Cy Young award winner Mike Flanagan died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, the Maryland medical examiner ruled Thursday.
A police investigation revealed the 59-year-old pitcher was upset about financial issues. He left no note.
Flanagan's body was found Wednesday afternoon about 250 feet behind his home. An investigation showed he was home alone when he took his life.
"It's very tragic. He was a good friend. I just wished I'd known he was having a struggle," former Orioles player and manager Davey Johnson said. "I'd sure liked to have talked to him. It's just a terrible loss. Everybody who knew Flanny loved him. He was always a delight to be around."
Now manager of the Nationals, Johnson spoke about Flanagan before Washington hosted Arizona.
"I was pretty shaken," Johnson said. "I wished I had a chance to talk to him, and cheer him up like he's done me in the past."
Flanagan won the Cy Young Award in 1979 and helped the Baltimore Orioles win the 1983 World Series. After his retirement, he worked for the Orioles as a coach and in the front office before settling into a job as color commentator on the team's broadcast network.
Flanagan was scheduled to work this weekend's series against the New York Yankees.
"He was looking forward to broadcasting the Yankees series coming up. He was doing something he loved," said Jim Duquette, who teamed with Flanagan from 2005-07 to attempt to rebuild the Orioles.
According to police, Alex Flanagan last spoke to her husband about 1 a.m. Wednesday. She told police he sounded upset, and he promised he would talk to her later.
When Alex Flanagan did not hear from her husband, she called a neighbor to check on him. The neighbor went to the home and called 911 after failing to find him.
Police discovered a body on the property but could not immediately determine the identity because the wounds were so severe.
There was a moment of silence at Yankee Stadium on Thursday before New York faced the Oakland Athletics. Flanagan's picture was posted on the video board.
Flanagan was a crafty left-hander who went 167-143 with a 3.90 ERA over 18 seasons with Baltimore and Toronto.
He was 141-116 with Baltimore and is a member of the team's Hall of Fame. Flanagan was also the final Oriole to pitch at Memorial Stadium, Baltimore's home from 1954-1991.
During that appearance out of the bullpen, Flanagan struck out Detroit's Dave Bergman and Travis Fryman, much to the delight of the 50,700 fans that filled the old ballpark one last time.
The Baltimore Ravens showed a video of that final pitch before their preseason game against the Washington Redskins, calling Flanagan "one of Baltimore's favorite sons." The video was stopped showing Flanagan as he doffed his cap while walking off the mound.
"He was a wonderful individual and a true Oriole who led by example, played the game with class and brought a lot of happiness to Orioles' fans over his career. He will be missed tremendously by so many people," said Mike Gibbons, executive director of Sports Legends Museum & the Babe Ruth Birthplace.
The Flanagan family issued this statement Thursday: "We thank you for your support and kind words at this difficult time. Thank you for respecting our privacy as we grieve. A private memorial will be held at a later date."

Again this is just 1/2 of truth...
"Rose McGowan escaped from a cult - when she was nine
McGowan, 38, spoke with People about how she spent her childhood in the Children of God cult. The sect is a “polygamous cult that blended free-love attitudes with Christian proselytizing.” At age nine she escaped the cult with her father after he became fearful that Rose might be sexually abused.
While in the cult, McGowan tells People she was often either angry or terrified. “You weren’t allowed to have imperfections,” she explained. “I had a little wart on my thumb, and I remember walking down this hallway — a door opened and some adult grabbed me and just cut it off with a razor blade and stuck me back out in the hallway with it still bleeding.”
McGowan also describes watching how the men in the cult treated the women. “At a very early age I decided I did not want to be like those women. They were basically there to serve the men sexually — you were allowed to have more than one wife.” The cult’s women would sometimes travel to area bars to try to recruit, an act known as “flirty fishing.”
McGowan’s father realized he had to leave when he was asked to draw cartoon literature that advocated child-adult sexual relationships. Soon after, Rose, her father, and some siblings left the cult in the middle of the night. They hid in a stone house, and avoided the cult members who came looking for them. “I remember a man trying to break in with a hammer,” McGowan said. The Children of God sect has since been renamed The Family International and has “renounced its advocacy of sexual sharing” and adult-minor sexual relationships.
Eventually, McGowan settled with her father in Washington, where they worked on their relationship. “We became really close when he was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis at age 60,” she said. Her father died in 2008. Today, she is close with her siblings, who she describes as “the most together, offbeat, funny, regular-ish people.” Her mom is also happily married.
But McGowan has no illusions that things could have ended very differently. “As strong as I like to think I’ve always been, I’m sure I could have been broken. I know I got out by the skin of my teeth.”

Not necessarily needing a 2nd glance and any moron would realize Frank was a mobster. FICHAEL didnt fire him for nothing...
"Music mogul behind Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' success dies aged 64
Most people automatically think of Thriller when they think of Michael Jackson's career, but what about the man who made it all happen?
Yes, Michael sung the song and danced the moves, but music industry executive, Frank Dileo, who passed away on the morning of August 24, will be remembered for bringing Thriller to life.
Frank, who died aged 64, managed Michael's career in the 1980s and returned as his manager in the superstar's final days.
The cause of death was not immediately available, but it was known that Frank had recently experienced complications following heart surgery.
The well-known music industry figure was also known as an actor, most famously for his portrayal as a gangster in Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas.'
Originally from Pittsburgh, Frank began his career working as a promoter for CBS subsidiary Epic Records. He signed many stars and was credited with making the company the second best in America.
But obviously the one star that will stand out from his career is the King of Pop. Michael was signed at CBS Records at the time and it was with Frank that he worked on the phenomenally successful album, 'Thriller.'
Michael even credited Frank in his book 'Moonwalk', saying that he was one of the people who was 'responsible for turning my dream for `Thriller' into a reality.'
He went on to write that Frank's 'brilliant understanding of the recording industry proved invaluable' and described how it was Frank's decision to release 'Beat It' as a single whilst 'Billie Jean' was still the Number one single in America.
'CBS screamed `You're crazy. This will kill Billie Jean,' Jackson recalled. 'But Frank told them not to worry, that both songs would be Number one and both would be in the Top ten at the same time. They were.'
It didn't take long for Frank to begin managing Michael full time and in 1984 he left Epic Records and worked with Michael during one of the most productive periods of his career, including being executive-producer on the full-length movie, 'Moonwalker' and also writing, producing and negotiating a series of lucrative Pepsi advertisements for Michael.
He also managed two of Michael's concert tours - the Victory Tour with other members of the Jackson family and the Bad World Tour, Jackson's first solo tour which became the largest grossing concert tour of all time.
Most recently, fans will remember that Frank worked with Jackson months before his death in June 2009. The pair abruptly ended their relationship in 1989 with no explanation, but when the pop star stood trial on child molestation charges in 2005, Frank was back by his side and helped the star prepare to launch his This Is It tour.
The music mogul who managed the careers of various other musicians, such as Taylor Dayne, Jodeci, Laura Branigan and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, was married to wife Linda and had two children, Belinda and Dominic and a grandson, Frank.
John Branca, co-executor of the Jackson estate, knew Frank for more than two decades and explained what a privilege it had been: 'He was not only one of the great veterans of the music business, he was a beloved friend to me and all who were lucky enough to have had him in their lives. He was one of a kind and we will miss him.' "
