Michael Jackson is apparently not only the King of Pop, but also the King of Auctions too. The famous red and black leather jacket from the “Thriller” video brought in a whopping $1.8 million. Now that’s zombie-like!

You knew we had to do it. Just like the countless other 80′s tribute websites on the web, we felt it just wouldn’t be right without atleast a post to one of the greatest WWF wrestlers of all time, and another reason we never left our TV sets back in the 80s. Macho Man Randy Savage died last week in a tragic car accident, at the young age of 58. Sure we don’t want to bore you with all the little facts, those that you could find at Wikipedia, but pay a tribute to one of our favorite wrestlers and flashiest dressers of the decade. Macho Man didn’t just ascent in the 80′s, Macho Man was the 80′s. From the clothes, style, profession, Macho Man entertained us like no other. From flying elbows, tag teams with Hogan, Warrior, and the always-beautiful Miss Elizabeth, every time Macho took the ring, we watched and were amazed. Read more…

Hey 80s lovers! Sorry, we’ve been MIA. Tons of stuff going on over here. I saw this article, and I just had to post it. What better way to get back on track then with an 80s obsession. Owerko explains in a NY Times article why and how he started his collection of boomboxes. His interest grew into a book, “The Boombox Project: The Machines, the Music, and the Urban Underground,” published last month by Abrams Image. “It features his lovingly detailed close-up photographs of vintage portable stereos, as well as commentary by Spike Lee, L L Cool J and members of the Beastie Boys and the Fugees about the role the devices played in New York’s street culture from the late 1970s to the mid-’80s.”

If you wanna see the hottest trends from the 80s, feel like you are burning a sweat, and listen to a great 2004 hit then look no further… Eric Prydz’s ‘Call On Me.’ Clad in the scantiest of workout attire, hot women and one random but very lucky hot man thrust to the beat. Enjoy!

Most will remember him as Arnold Jackson on “Diff’rent Strokes” in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but others may recall Gary Coleman’s life after the show which included years of financial, legal, and health troubles. Coleman died last week at the age of 42 from a brain hemorrhage. Easy Rider Dennis Hopper also passed last week at the age of 74 from prostate cancer. He earned an Oscar nomination in 1986 for his role in “Hoosiers,” in which he played an alcoholic basketball team manager. That same year, he received critical acclaim for his performance in David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet.” Rue McClanahan, Golden Girl herself, died yesterday at 76 from a brain hemorrhage. Golden Girls seized the #1 rating its first night, in 1985, stayed in the top 10 for 6 seasons and captured ton of Emmys. It’s a sad month in Hollywood that’s for sure. RIP…
