The world's oldest teenager dead at 82


From usatoday, Sad news: Dick Clark has died.

Clark's agent confirmed the news in a statement that the 82-year-old TV legend died of a "massive heart attack" this morning.

Clark, whose youthful appearance earned him the nickname of "America's Oldest Teenager," suffered a significant stroke in 2004. Ryan Seacrest took over his famous Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve show 2006. Dick has co-hosted it ever since. Clark is also known for hosting long-running television shows including American Bandstand and the game show Pyramid.

Clark has been married three times -- and has three children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton.

Wanna bet the do a huge tribute to him on New Years eve. So those of you who were feeling glad to not have to see him struggling through his post stroke speech might not be so lucky.

Poor guy, he went from being the man who never ages to old man overnight.
