Estelle Getty, best known for her role as Sophia on The Golden Girls, has died at the age of 84.
Her 85th birthday would have been on July 25th, just three days away.
Getty had been suffering from Lewy Body Dementia for many years.
She was surrounded by her family as she passed away at 5:35am in her Los Angeles home. She is survived by her two sons.
We all love getting a nice pedicure, especially in the summertime, right?
Ok, but have you heard of fish pedicures?
Fish pedicures are all the rage at a northern Virginia spa, where customers immerse their feet into a pool of water that is filled with tiny fish that eat the dead skin off your feet.
Although gross to some, the fish have proven to be a more sanitary way of removing dead skin and calluses than traditional razors. Also, more effective.
John Ho, owner of Yvonne Hair and Nails, says, “This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet.”
The toothless fish are called garra rufa but are better known as doctor fish. They were first used in Turkey and are popular in some Asian countries.
Tracy Roberts, 33, of Rockville, Md., tried it and said it was “the best pedicure I ever had. I’d been an athlete all my life, so I’ve always had calluses on my feet. This was the first time somebody got rid of my calluses completely,” she said.
KaNin Reese, 32, of Washington, described the feeling of the fish pedicure, “It kind of feels like your foot’s asleep.”
The treatment costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes.
After trying a communal pool, the state stepped in and required individual tanks in which the water is changed for each customer. Before changing to individual tanks the fish would flock to the feet the person with the most dead skin on their feet.
“It would sometimes be embarrassing for them but it was also really hilarious,” Ho said.

Christian Bale’s mother and sister are claiming the Batman actor assaulted them at a hotel in London the night before the European premiere of ‘The Dark Knight’.
His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, reported the incident to the police on Monday. Authorities decided to not question the actor until after the premiere of the blockbuster movie.
A source told The Sun, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth. But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.”
A police spokesperson confirmed the reports, “We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.”
Update from TMZ: Bale turned himself into a London police station this morning (by appointment) and was arrested. It’s merely procedure, and he has not been charged with anything at this point.
Bale once told E! Online, “If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.”
“I’m a miracle dude … I don’t know why.”

Some dirty little mole at Rolling Stone magazine must feel threatened by 15-year-old Francis Bean Cobain, who is interning for the rock n’ roll magazine this summer.
According to the New York Post an employee of Rolling Stone bitched to them that Frances doesn’t do most things that other interns do. Things like getting coffee for the highers up and running errands.
The source says that Frances, “doesn’t get coffee for anyone, calls in sick all the time and wears funny outfits.”
Funny oufits? In the rock and roll industry? The nerve! C’mon bitch, you are pulling for straws here.
But a Rolling Stone spokesperson denied the story, saying Frances Bean is great to work with. “She’s a great girl, and we’re thrilled to have her.”
