The Chris Farley Show: A Biography In Three Acts (PDF)

The New York Times bestselling biography of an American comedy legend in 2008.

After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol.

Baby Girl Better Known As Aaliyah (PDF)

In a definitive and “excellent homage to a star who left this planet too soon” (Questlove), the life, career, tragic death, and evolution of Aaliyah into a music legend are explored—now updated with new material featuring in-depth research and exclusive interviews.

By twenty-two years old, Aaliyah had already accomplished a staggering amount: hit records, acclaimed acting roles, and fame that was just about to cross over into superstardom. Like her song, she was already “more than a woman” but her shocking death in a plane crash prevented her from fully growing into one.

Now, two decades later, the full story of Aaliyah’s life and cultural impact is finally and lovingly revealed. Baby Girl features never-before-told stories, including studio anecdotes, personal tales, and eyewitness accounts on the events leading up to her untimely passing. Her enduring influence on today’s artists—such as Rihanna, Drake, Normani, and many more—is also celebrated, providing Aaliyah’s discography a cultural critique that is long overdue.

“There’s no better way to pay your respect to R&B’s true angel than to lose yourself in the pages” (Kim Osorio, journalist and author of Straight from the Source) of this “dazzling biography” (Publishers Weekly) that is as unforgettable as its subject.

This book was written without the participation of Aaliyah’s family/estate.

Cartoon Network Food Bash Flash Game

You use the mouse to target and click to throw. To dodge, you press the spacebar. It is possible to tell when your opponent plans to throw because they will stop and stand still. Note that when they do this, you will be unable to hit them.


There are four levels in the game. In order, they are Johnny Bravo, the Eds, the Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack. For the first level, Johnny will run around in a simple back and forth motion. While he can dodge some shots, most that are well targeted will hit him. The second level has the Eds. All three of them run around at different speeds and for different lengths. Their dodging is better than that of Johnny Bravo, but because there are more of them, it is still somewhat easy to get a hit. The third level has the Powerpuffs, who will fly around in the air. They are very effective at dodging, and are far more difficult than the Eds. The hardest level is Jack, however. Not only is he great at dodging, but he will use his sword to deflect produce.
