On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Pink Floyd said that Syd Barrett, co-founder of one of the most influential bands of all time died at the age of 60.

While the cause of death wasn’t commented on, the death did occur several days ago. Though Barrett chose to remain in hiding over the last several years, it’s a well-known fact that he suffered from diabetes for many years.

Throughout his life, Barrett (born Roger Keith Barret) wrote several of Pink Floyd’s songs and actually launched the band in 1965. A brilliant guitarist of his time, his prominent LSD use proved to be his downfall and he split from the band in 1968.

While he did release two solo albums afterwards (The Madcap Laughs and Barrett) he eventually retired from the music business entirely.

In a recent msnbc.com article , Cruise is accused of being paranoid and forcing the “scientology way of life” onto baby Suri simply because 2 1/2 month old Suri has not yet made a public appearance. Since when has thinking that the paparazzi’s noise and flashbulbs might not be great for an 10-week-old baby become religious extremism? I can’t help but think that if it was someone like Gwenyth Paltrow, who the media loves, sheltering her baby from the limelight that the media would put an enterely different spin on it.

Since the birth of Shiloh Nouvel, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter together, Jolie has been decidedly casual about going back to work. Now however, she will take on her first acting role since the birth – as an animated character in the upcoming DreamWorks production, Kung Fu Panda
