“Kris Kross” rapper Chris Kelly passed away yesterday, and today we’re getting more information on what could have happened. According to Chris’ mother, the rapper had been using a combination of cocaine and heroin the night before he died.

Paramedics responded to Kelly’s Atlanta home around 3:00PM yesterday afternoon, when his mother called 911. When help arrived, they found 34-year-old Kelly lying on the living room couch, unresponsive, and with “no life signs.” They tried to revive Kelly, but were unsuccessful. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead a couple hours later.

After the death, cops spoke with Donna Kelly Pratt — Chris’ mother — who told police … the night before Kelly’s medical emergency, he had taken a mixture of heroin and cocaine — commonly known as “speedballs.”

Donna told police she had personally taken Kelly home to recover from the drug use … just as she had done several times before.  Donna told cops Kelly had felt nauseous all morning before passing out.

According to the report, Kelly’s mother and Kelly’s uncle both told investigators the rapper had an “extensive history of drug use.”

R.I.P….. this is so sad.

Chris Kelly, one-half of the 1990′s rap duo Kris Kross died this afternoon. He was only 34.

Kelly, who also went by ‘Mac Daddy,’ and his partner Chris Smith (‘Daddy Mac’), were only 13 when they were discovered by Jermaine Durpi while performing at a mall in Atlanta.

Earlier this evening, Kelly was found unresponsive at his Atlanta home, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. He was transported to Atlanta Medical Center and pronounced dead. Cause of death has not yet been determined.

Man, this makes me so sad! Remember them??? All my 80′s kids?

Legendary country singer George Jones, has died at the age of 81. The cause of death was not immediately reported.

Jones was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992.

R.I.P.!

Such sad news! Just earlier this week we learned that his cancer had spread, and today he passed away.

A couple of minutes ago I reported that Shain Gandee, star of MTV’s ‘Buckwild’ had been reported missing by family members, after he didn’t return home Sunday morning.

Now TMZ reports that Shain was found dead in a vehicle in West Virginia this morning. The 21-year old was found with 2 other bodies.

Shain was last seen at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, when he and his uncle David Gandee left a bar and said they were going 4-wheeling. It’s not known if his 48-year-old uncle was one of the other dead people in the vehicle.

This is so sad. I had a feeling.

MTV needs to be stopped. Seriously. I know kids are going to be stupid – and do stupid things no matter what, but I feel like MTV glorifies stupidity in teenagers. How many of their “stars” have to die in order for there to be a change in programming??

Those of you who follow my site, know that I have been very nervous about Mindy McCready for a while now (I have the same sick feeling about Amanda Bynes).

Sunday night, the 37-year-old singer took her own life at her Heber Springs, Ark., home. According to her neighbors, McCready “shot herself and the dog.” From what I’ve read, she shot herself in the head – on her front porch.

NBC’s TODAY reports, “The cause of death ‘appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound,’ the Cleburne County (Ark.) Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.”

It’s not the first time McCready has attempted suicide. She tried in both 2005 and 2008. She’s been in rehab several times, and has appeared on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2010.

The troubled star had been struggling following the sudden death of her boyfriend, 34-year-old David Wilson, on Jan. 13, 2013. Although she claimed she had nothing to do with Wilson’s passing, McCready’s two children Zander, 6, and her son with Wilson, Zayne, 9 months, were taken by authorities on Feb. 6 after family members claimed she was unfit to care for them. She decided to enter an in-patient facility for treatment.

“Since boyfriend (David Wilson) shot himself she has been in bed for 3 wks,” her father said in court documents earlier this month. “Sleeps all day. Drinks all night and is taking Rx drugs. Not bathing or even helping take care of her 2 children.”

But just a day after being ordered by a judge to enter a facility for a mental-health and alcohol-abuse evaluation, McCready was released to undergo outpatient treatment instead, according to E! News.

In her final interview before her death, McCready talked about Wilson, telling NBC’s Andrea Canning last month, “I have never gone through anything this painful. He didn’t just touch my heart, he touched my soul. He was my soulmate.”

I wonder if she had anything to do with her fiance’s death – or if she just couldn’t get over him being gone. So many questions, and nothing but sadness. How horrible for her little boys.

Shocking news this morning, as Oscar Pistorius, who became famous in 2012 for competing in the Olympics without legs, has been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend.

Pistorius — the paralympian known as Blade Runner — is accused of shooting 30-year-old Reeva Steenkamp in the hand and head — allegedly with a 9 mm pistol found at the scene.

Pistorius, 26, had reportedly been dating Steenkamp for a few months. She was a law graduate and an aspiring model.

Steenkamp was killed inside Pistorius’ home in Pretoria, South Africa. There are reports there have been “previous incidents” between the two at the home.

Pistorius — considered a national hero in South Africa — was the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics.

I’ve read several reports saying that police had been called to his house in the past over domestic issues, but no word on what those were all about. Hopefully for everyone’s sake, this was just a tragic accident, and he didn’t intend to kill his girlfriend. How sad. On Valentine’s Day, even!

Rumor has it she was sneaking into his house late last night as part of a Valentine’s Day surprise. I’m not sure whose story that was, but one of her friends was outside the house at the time of the shooting – so it would makes sense that she was sneaking in to leave something for him.

Just yesterday Miss Steenkamp spoke excitedly on Twitter about her plans for Valentine’s Day.

She said: ‘What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow??? #getexcited #ValentinesDay’

Replying to a follower, she later added: ‘That sounds amazing! Wow that’s what it’s all about! It should be a day of love for everyone may it be blessed!’
