Prince and Michael Jackson: Rival Legends Who Quietly Competed in Life and Tragically Died of All Too Human Causes

Prince Rogers Nelson was born on June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis. Michael Joseph Jackson was born on Aug. 29, 1958, in Gary, Ind.
Both born to religious, musical families; both talented beyond belief; both destined for greatness; both undeniably great.
And now both gone before their time, proving all too human and vulnerable to forces that don't discriminate among the famous, the rich or the legendary. As it turns out today, after the release of autopsy findings following Prince's shocking death on April 21, he and Jackson both died of prescription drug overdoses.

While music fans could just consider themselves lucky when Prince's debut For You dropped in 1978 and Jackson's first solo album, Off the Wall, followed in 1979, and Thriller came out in 1982, and Purple Rain poured forth in 1984, etc., now we know that they were on a cosmic collision course that would result in music being changed forever—albeit while one watched the other warily from afar.

Smoothie of the Day: A Raspberry Refresher Inspired by Jennifer Aniston

Can we be Jennifer Aniston when we grow up?
Seriously, the longtime yogi is the personification of healthful living. She takes it seriously, but doesn't seem to be an extremist about it. For example, her go-to breakfast drink combines nutrient-rich berries with splurge-worthy chocolate milk.
Since berries pretty much go with everything, and since they're jam packed with antioxidants (excellent for radiant skin), we consulted celeb nutritionist Kelly LeVeque to whip up a refreshing summer beverage that we can sip on all season-long! 

"Raspberries deliver potassium, phosphorous and potassium to the body and are low on the glycemic index," shared the pro.
To get your hands on a berry-licious concoction of your own, see the recipe below!
The Jennifer Aniston
Collagen Protein 20g
1 tbsp MCT Oil
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 Handful spinach
1/4 cup raspberries
2 cups iced green tea or matcha tea
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour in a glass and enjoy!
