"Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science."

Man...The poor guy. He was stuck in a chair forever...and he was doing pretty damn well for it, too. I am generally uncaring of celebrities deaths, but this is one I'm a little bummed out about.

You know, Christopher Reeves was more than a spokesperson for the fight to cure paralysis. He was an acclaimed actor that even actors loved. He was a great husband and father. Living in a world where the people with the naughtiest secrets were always in the spotlight, this man was in the spotlight because he wouldn't let a debilitating condition stop him from doing what he loved. I wasn't hurt when Chris was thrown from that horse in 1995. Yet, I was torn up when he made his first TV appearance more than a year later and the man I knew as Superman growing up, needed a device to help him breath. I wasn't sad because I felt sorry for him, I was sad because he put more into fighting paralysis than most of us put into anything. He was still Superman and he proved it. Chris' son has just broken into acting. To the Reeves Family, from ours, God bless you and be with you in your time of bereavement.

Vaya con dios, Chris.

I love all of his Superman movies and even the one he did with Burt Reynolds where he had a small part. Very charismatic guy and he will be missed.

I'm Christopher Reese, and I ALWAYS get called Christopher Reeves for some reason... It's rather annoying. But the truth is, I have an incredible amount of respect for him. I can't even begin to imagine the challenges of being paralyzed. Not being able to touch the woman you love. Not being able to eat food for yourself. Not being able to wipe your own ***. It would all get to me very quickly. I have a lot of respect for him to go through thtings for so long and to put so much effort forth into stem cell research. Kudos to you Mr. Reeves, and I thank you for your legacy that you live on. I can only hope that it inspires my children and grandchildren in the future to reach their dreams and goals.

- Christopher R.

I love a good joke as well as the next guy. And you'd better believe I poke fun at all sorts of weirdos and freaks.

But dude...bad taste is just bad taste.
