(Best Syndication News) The Los Angeles County Coroner reports that Casey Johnson died of diabetic ketoacidosis. Johnson, the great-great-granddaughter of Robert Wood Johnson I, co-founder of Johnson & Johnson, died January 4th. Ed Winters with the coroner’s office tells Best Syndication that the manner of death was “natural”. She was 30-years old.

Typically this type of acidosis occurs in people with type-1 diabetes but it can also occur in people with type-2 diabetes. In certain cases this condition results from an shortage of insulin. The body then switches to burning fat which produces fat acids.

[Best Syndication News] On December 20th, 2009, actress Brittany Murphy unexpectedly died from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles Coroner's office told the media on this Thursday the cause of death was from a combination of pneumonia, anemia, and “multiple drug Intoxication.”

[Best Syndication News] Last night Pink performed on the 2010 Grammy Awards Ceremony and she really shocked viewers as well as the audience with her almost nude one piece with strategically placed sequins in just the right places while she was hoisted high above the audience. Somewhere along the line she gets soaked with water and is dripping water down below.

She didn't start the song that wild, she had a white cover up and was nicely singing her song. Then she took off her coverup to reveal her barely there outfit. Even though there was nude fabric holding her in, she had to have been in the best shape ever to wear this outfit. She had to have been feeling a bit chilly after that performance as she was soaking wet.

You have to wonder how she could keep it together enough to keep singing while she was being spun around will be hoisted high up in the air. There are performance playing on YouTube of Pink's Performance at the Grammy Awards (see video below) in case you have missed the performance. It's got a lot of people talking about it today.
