Rest in Peace, Dick Clark!

Dick Clark, famed TV producer and  "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host, died from a massive heart attack this morning,  TMZ has learned. Clark's rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had  been in St. John's hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient  procedure last night. Clark suffered the "massive" heart  attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Clark was 82. Clark's health had  been on the decline since he suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing  him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Year's Rockin' Eve," which he created  in 1972. Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006. Dick has appeared on the show  sporadically ever since. His final appearance was in 2011. Months before  suffering a stroke, Clark told Larry King he also  suffered from Type 2 diabetes. Clark got his first big  break in 1956, hosting what was called "Bob Horn's Bandstand" ... what would  later be renamed "American Bandstand."  Clark had  been inducted into practically every hall of fame on the planet -- including the  Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Academy of Television  Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. Clark was married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his  first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton. "For now,  Dick Clark ... so long." Some celebs react on their twitter:

FIRST TUPAC…NOW MJ AND NOTORIOUS B.I.G…

After Hologram Tupac hit the stage at the Coachella festival last weekend,  Warren G is trying to convince Diddy that a similar move with the Notorious  B.I.G. should be next. ”That would be dope for Puffy to come on and we just do  one the biggest, majorest tours ever where it happens like that,” Warren told MTV News. “He could go  out and do the same thing, but it would be dope to do it together.” Biggie was  gunned down in 1997 at the age of 24. Sanj Surati, Head of Music at holographic  projection firm Musion, creators of the Tupac hologram used at Coachella, said: ”This is obviously a historic and exciting initiative that we’re all witnessing  currently, and it would make sense for them to bring it to Europe and maybe take it to the rest of the world.” Also,  a hologram of Michael Jackson could very well be going on tour with his crew of  brothers some time soon. The Jacksons will be on the road  beginning June 18 in Louisville. The “Unity Tour-2012″ is a 27-city musical escapade, that won’t leave one Jackson brother behind. “It could  have Michael-absolutely,” he said. “Wouldn’t that be wonderful? As a matter of  fact, we had that idea two years ago for Michael’s Cirque du Soleil show.”
