The actor reportedly suffered a heart attack early on Wednesday in Italy, where he was scheduled to attend Sicily's Taormina Film Festival.

Why "Blurred Lines" Is Our New Summer Jam

Robin Thicke's single "Blurred Lines" has just hit No.

Robin Thicke's single "Blurred Lines" has just hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart, and we know why: it's the definition of a Summer jam. Not only does it get you excited for warm weather and outdoor festivities, but it's also a great song to listen to while you're getting ready to go out on the town. We've had it on repeat at home, in the office, and at parties — and it has quickly won our top spot for the best Summer jam so far. Here's why:

We Can't Get It Out of Our Heads
The beat is seriously catchy — you can't help but tap your feet, bob your head, and sing along to the sexy, playful lyrics. Pharrell Williams successfully sampled Marvin Gaye's classic "Got to Give It Up" on the track (as well as Michael Jackson's signature falsetto), and both Robin and T.I. lay it on thick with lots of flirty charm and commanding hooks. It's the perfect song for getting people off their feet at a backyard BBQ or poolside party, and it just begs to be blasted while riding in the car with the windows down.

See the other reasons why we're loving "Blurred Lines" (and watch the entertaining music video) when you keep reading.

Sex and the City: Spot-On Love Advice From the Ladies

Sex and the City premiered on this day, 15 years ago — and while the fashion trends and technological references may not hold up (how did Carrie Bradshaw not have a cell phone until, like, season six?), we can always count on the love and dating advice doled out by the fab four.

Sex and the City premiered on this day, 15 years ago — and while the fashion trends and technological references may not hold up (how did Carrie Bradshaw not have a cell phone until, like, season six?), we can always count on the love and dating advice doled out by the fab four. Even though Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte don't always get it right when it came to love, their relationship battle scars have definitely taught them (and us) plenty over the years. So we couldn't help but wonder: what are the show's most honest, valid pearls of wisdom? In celebration of the 15th anniversary of one of our most beloved TV shows, we've rounded up 15 Sex and the City quotes about love that stand the test of time.
