I don’t write about The Golden Girls too often so I find it a little alarming that mere moments after I post a video involving the show, Estelle Getty dies.

Note: Estelle Getty isn’t pictured above but come on, it’s a current-ish Golden Girls pic, how can I not run it?

Actress Estelle Getty has died at the age of 84. Her son, Carl Gettleman, says the co-star of the TV show “The Golden Girls” died early Tuesday at home in Los Angeles.

Gettleman says she suffered from advanced dementia. The diminutive actress spent 40 years struggling for success before landing the role of a lifetime in 1985, playing the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on “The Golden Girls.”

She was old and apparently crazy. That sucks. What sucks even more is that I apparently have the power to kill off The Golden Girls by just writing about them. Which is a cool power, in theory, until you realize what a small niche it is. Like yeah, it’ll be pretty great to kill Bea Arthur by posting a photo of her with some snarky writing attached, but this seems to have a limited appeal at best.

In related news…You’re Next, Rue McClanahan. Don’t think I forgot.

I don’t want to spoil this video for you, but it’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. If you’re a fan of DuckTales or ever wanted to swim in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck (side note: it’s physically impossible and hurts quite a bit when you dive in).

BONUS - A different kind of creepy alternate intro for Golden Girls. All Hail Gingerbread Bea Arthur:

Best things you’ll see all day. Guaranteed. Or your money back. But you paid none. So too bad baby.

Great news, MJF (that’s what those in the know call Michael J. Fox) fans! Your hero will be back on episodic TV, doing a guest stint on the hit show Rescue Me!

Michael J. Fox will return to series TV with a four-episode guest role on FX’s “Rescue Me.”

FX also announced on Tuesday that Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden (”Pollock”) will be joining the Glenn Close legal drama “Damages” as a second-season series regular, while Ted Danson will return to the show for several episodes.

Fox, 47, a friend of Leary’s, was “really excited about the part,” Landgraf said.

The star of TV’s “Family Ties” and “Spin City” and the “Back to the Future” films was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and revealed his condition publicly in 1998.

I’m no casting expert but I think Fox’s role should be a pretty exciting one. It’s totally up into air as to how he’ll be characterized, but I’d have to guess his role would be a cement mixer. Or perhaps a martini maker. A paint preparer, maybe. Or a stint as Tatum O’Neal’s vibrator. So many possibilities!

Via Gawker, some Glamour magazine blogger met up with Lauren Conrad of The Hills fame. And the results were…not at all interesting.

Other general impressions of Lauren-in-real-life:

- As with all celebs, seemed way shorter/thinner in person. Also, tanner.

- Seemingly really sweet/almost a little shy. I wasn’t getting stuck-up vibes. When I needed to find the ladies’ room, she walked me there, despite 10 publicists who could have done so instead.

- Shockingly well-spoken considering the inane dialogue we generally see her involved in on The Hills. Recited tons of stats from memory when describing the new m.powerment initiative (proceeds from certain Mark accessories are going to organizations that prevent violence against young women).

People have been reporting on this like it’s groundbreaking news. “Wow, she didn’t like, drool on herself and talk about shoes the whole time.” Yeah, I’m completely surprised that a reality show, especially one with the journalistic integrity of The Hills, might be slightly manipulating footage to hide that Lauren Conrad isn’t a dummy. In other shockers, I find her quite attractive and would have vigorous, acrobatic sex with her. In fact, I’d probably kick my mother in the vagina with great velocity to have sex with Lauren Conrad. Hell, I’d probably hit her in the face with a canoe paddle to sniff Lauren Conrad’s underwear. Not gonna lie, I’d even throw a tiger at her to lick a magazine with Lauren Conrad on the cover. This might say more about my relationship with my mother than anything, now that I think about it.
