Ike Turner, Tina’s ex, passed away today. He was 76.

Ike Wister Turner was born in Clarksdale Mississippi to Beatrice Cushenberry and Izear Luster Turner. He got his first taste of music at the tender age of 8 while working at a local radio station.

He started his first band in the late 1940s, but he didn’t reached stardom until he met a demanding teenager named Annie Mae Bullock from Nutbush Tennessee. Ike and Annie Mae would formed a group, Ike and Tina Turner Revue. They would score big with “Proud Mary,” “A Fool in Love,” “River Deep-Mountain High” and “Nutbush City Limits.”

After Ike and Tina’s divorce, he would never regained the success that he shared with Tina.

Quotable Moment of Ike:

Sure, I’ve slapped Tina… There have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her.

A rep for Tina Turner had this to say:

“Tina hasn’t had any contact with Ike in more than 30 years. No further comment will be made”

Ouch.

Janice, eat your heart out!! It is obvious that Janice Dickinson has not seen Tyra lately.

Ms. Banks appeared at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC last week.

Thanks Derrick for having me get into major trouble at work (yet again).

This is some funny ish. If you didn’t find it funny, get somebody to check your pulse.
