Donna Summer, whose pulsating hits "I Feel Love," "Last Dance" and "MacArthur Park" provided the disco soundtrack for the 1970s, has died at age 63. Her family confirmed Summer's death, saying in a statement that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy." "Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time," the statement continued. A onetime backup singer for Three Dog Night, Summer, who was born LaDonna Gaines, hit the American charts with the sexually charged "Love to Love You Baby," released in 1975 amid controversy that it was too steamy for radio. The song gained popularity, though, and became a huge favorite in discotheques. The five-time Grammy winner went on to release a string of dance-friendly songs whose overt sexuality clashed with Summer's strict Christian upbringing in a family of seven children in Boston. "I Feel Love" became a top 10 single in 1977 and her disco interpretation of the ballad "MacArthur Park" in 1978 was her first number one song. "Last Dance" from the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack earned Summer her first Grammy. The singles "Bad Girls" and "Hot Stuff" from her prostitution-themed concept album – Summer poses as a hooker on the cover – both hit number one, as did her duet "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)" with Barbra Streisand. But as Summer sang hit after hit she struggled with her meteoric fame and the fast life. She battled depression and anxiety, suffered an addiction to prescription medication and attempted suicide. As disco waned at the end of the 1970s, so did Summer's career in the United States, though she continued to have modest success in Europe and scored occasional hits on the U.S. dance and R&B charts. Her marriage to actor Helmuth Summer, which produced a daughter, collapsed in the mid-1970s. She later married singer Bruce Sudano, and the couple had two children, also daughters.  The two were living together in Englewood, Fla. She released her final album, Crayons, in 2008 – her first studio recording in 17 years.

Many people have got all fired up about the news that Lauryn Hill’s ex, Rohan Marley will marry model Isabeli Fontana. The couple has started dating last year, right after Rohan called it quits with Lauryn Hill. It’s likely that Rohan Marley became more famous due to his longtime romance with Lauryn Hill, than for being Bob Marley’s son. They’ve had quite a tormented relationship, with them dating on and off for 15 years. Since 1996 until 2011, Fugees singer Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley were a couple and had five children together, without once tying the knot. So given how long the two of them have been together and their five children, it’s easy to understand why there are people outraged by his upcoming marriage to model Isabeli Fontana. Not to mention that the news about the marriage was first shared by the model herself, in Veja magazine. Isabeli Fontana, now Rohan Marley’s fiancée, told the magazine the wedding is set to happen in Ethiopia, the birth place of the Rastafarian movement. “Rohan told me we have to return to the roots so the marriage will last forever” added the model. Rohan Marley is quite a ladies’ man. The marriage to the 28-year-old model is going to be his second, but it’s not even his longest relationship. Not to mention, he is already a dad for seven kids: five with Lauryn Hill and two from his marriage to Geraldine Khawly. But Isabeli isn’t at her first wedding also. She was married twice and has two sons. The first marriage to model Alvaro Jacomossi resulted in a Zion, now nine years old, while her second marriage, to Henri Castelli, left her with Lucas, now age 5.  Isabeli lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Rohan in New York, U.S.
