Ain't Trying To "Help Ike" No More

Tina can probably honestly say "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." On the one hand, she wouldn't be "Tina Turner" without having met him and endured him. On the other hand, she wouldn't be "Tina Turner" without having met him and endured him. I hope he evolved over the years but Tina's not missing him at all.

Tina Turner's rep issued the following statement about the death of the music legend's former husband Ike.

"Tina is aware that Ike passed away earlier today," the rep told TMZ. "She has not had any contact with him in 35 years. No further comment will be made."

Simply the best.

As a side note, I've never been able to look at Laurence Fishsburne in the same light since "What's Love Got To Do With It." I saw him on a talk show later and he made some comment like "Everybody has a little Ike in him." Somehow it made me feel that he wasn't really acting in that movie. He's creeped me out ever since!
