Captain Lou Albano, the crazed and charismatic wrestling icon who played Cyndi Lauper‘s dad in her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” video, has died. He was 76.

Albano – known for his wild goatee, usually tamed by a rubber band, and his half-open Hawaiian shirts – was a wrestling world fixture for more than a half-century.

Here are some of the most controversial magazine covers of all time. Feel free to suggest other covers that you think should be part of this collection.

(CNN) — Comic actor Bernie Mac died early Saturday of complications from pneumonia, according to a family member and his publicist. He was 50.

He had been hospitalized in Chicago, Illinois, for more than a week with the lung infection.

Danica Smith, the comedian’s publicist, had said Thursday that Mac’s condition was “stable,” The Associated Press reported.

“When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news,” said Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster. “Let’s face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh.”
