Times Square — Dick Clark has no intention of resting in peace. The television pioneer has brushed off the massive heart attack which led to his death earlier this week, and is busy planning his traditional New Year’s Eve broadcast from New York’s Times Square.
“Funniest thing. I was at the doctor for my weekly heart exam,” Clark said. “He gave me a 95 for the beat, which I thought was pretty good. ‘A Hard Days Night’ only got an 86, and that was the damn Beatles for God sakes.
“But the next thing you know, I’m fading to black. Luckily, my pal Ed McMahon was there to pull me through. Hi oh!”
Clark says he plans to change the title of his holiday show to “Rockin’ Resurrection With the Late Dick Clark.”
“We were going to call it ‘Strokes, Heart Attacks & Practical Jokes,’ but we realized it’s tough to play New Year’s for laughs,” Clark said, adding that he would be hosting the show all by himself this year.
Asked if the public would accept his return, given his demise, Clark replied: “My condition shouldn’t be a problem. They seem to like that stiff, Ryan Seacrest.”
As to the musical lineup for his holiday show, Clark referred to the Righteous Brothers’ hit “Rock ‘n Roll Heaven.”
“All of the heavy hitters are right here, just like the song says,” Clark said. “I was going to sign them up myself, but the devil is in the details, so maybe I’ll let him handle it.”
Clark’s immediate family was caught somewhat unawares by his plans for resurrection. They had reserved $25,000 for the construction of a pyramid in which he was to be interred. The money will be used for some lovely parting gifts instead.

(CBS/AP) Host and TV producer Dick Clark has died. He was 82.
Spokesman Paul Shefrin said Clark had a heart attack Wednesday morning at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, a day after he was admitted for an outpatient procedure.
Long dubbed "the world's oldest teenager" because of his boyish appearance, Clark bridged the rebellious new music scene and traditional show business, and was equally comfortable whether chatting about music with Sam Cooke or bantering with Ed McMahon about TV bloopers. He thrived as the founder of Dick Clark Productions, supplying movies, game and music shows, beauty contests and more to TV. Among his credits: "The $25,000 Pyramid," "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" and the
American Music Awards.
For a time in the 1980s, he had shows on all three networks and was listed among the Forbes 400 of wealthiest Americans. Clark also was part of radio as partner in the United Stations Radio Networks, which provided programs - including Clark's - to thousands of stations.
"There's hardly any segment of the population that doesn't see what I do," Clark told The Associated Press in a 1985 interview... Full Story At link Below

Dick Clark Dead at 82 - 1929 to 2012
Good bye. You'll be greatly missed.
Dick Clark dies at 82 of Massive Heart Attack
Broadcast icon Dick Clark, the creator and longtime host of "American Bandstand," has died, publicist Paul Shefrin said. He was 82.
Details of his death were not immediately available, but he was known to be in poor health since suffering what was then described as "a mild stroke" in December 2004.
That stroke forced Clark to cut back on his on-camera work, including giving up the hosting duties for the "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" specials.
His "American Bandstand" work, which he began as a local TV show in Philadelphia in 1956, earned him the nickname "America's oldest living teenager."
Born Richard Wagstaff Clark in Mount Vernon, New York, he began his broadcast career working at a radio station managed by his father.

This is a series of quirky, fun-filled vintage photographs taken by Philippe Halsman five decades ago of movie stars, politicians, royalty, entertainers, artists and authors. Halsman had the bold and unconventional idea back in the 1950’s to ask the famous and prominent people he was commissioned to photograph once the formal sessions were over, to jump! The results were amazing, as each subject interpreted this bizarre request in their own unique way, often defying their typical public image. Marilyn Monroe, Lena Horne, Merce Cunningham, Salvador Dali, Weegee, Richard Nixon, and even the Duke and Duchess of Windsor agreed to take the leap of faith.
This piece includes a number of wonderful vintage photographs, a slide show and a video.
