The world just lost one of the greatest funny men there ever was.  Dom Deluise has died at the age of 75.  WENN.com is reporting:

American actor DOMINICK DeLUISE has died at the age of 75. The veteran comedian passed away in his sleep at a hospital in Los Angeles on Monday night (04May09), reports TMZ.com.

DeLuise rose to fame in the 1970s and ’80s, appearing alongside pal Burt Reynolds in movies like The Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, and All Dogs Go to Heaven. He became known on the small screen for his magic act as ‘Dominick the Great’ on the popular Dean Martin show between 1972 and 1973, and went on to further establish himself in Hollywood with appearances in Mel Brooks’ films such as 1974′s Blazing Saddles, 1976′s Silent Movie, and 1993 comedy Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

The star was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 1974 for his work on TV comedy Lotsa Luck, while he received a nod at the Daytime Emmys in 1999 for his efforts on animation All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series.DeLuise spent his latter years writing children’s books and cookbooks. He is survived by his actress wife Carol Arthur, who he married in 1965, and their three actor sons Peter, David and Michael DeLuise.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family on this great loss.

Are you starting to wonder if it’s MEGA post day at INMF?  Rather than separate the pics into groups of celebs, I thought I would just lump them all together.

Last night the ‘Model as Muse Embodying Fashion’ gala was held at the MET in New York and for the most part the dresses were lovely, however after seeing some of the other ones, I have come to realize I either don’t understand art or fashion.

What do you think of the outfits?

I think if I did a list of who wasn’t there last night in New York it would be shorter:

• Marion Cotillard
• Ciara
• Rachel Weisz
• Hillary Swank
• Carla Gugino
• Rihanna
• Madonna
• Jessica Biel
• Justin Timberlake
• Heidi Klum
• Joshua Jackson
• Diane Kruger
• Kate Moss
• Katy Perry
• Josh Hartnett
• Jessica Alba
• Eva Longoria
• Rene Zellwegger
• Kirsten Dunst
• Molly Sims
• Victoria Beckham
• Blake Lively
• Liv Tyler
• Kate Hudson
• Ashley Olson
• Leighton Meester
• Miranda Kerr
• Anne Hathaway
• Kate Bosworth
• Rosario Dawson
• Brooke Shields
