We still can't believe that Roger Ebert is gone, but thankfully, the world will be able to publicly pay tribute his incredible life and say their final good-byes to not just a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, but an amazing man.

The legendary film critic, who passed away Thursday after the cancer he'd been battling for years returned unexpectedly, will be honored tomorrow morning in Chicago, Illinois, where he dedicated 46 years of his life to the Chicago Sun-Times.

The 10am ceremony will take place at Holy Name Cathedral, and will be open to friends, family and even the public.

However, if you do plan on attending in person, keep in mind that seats are available on first-come, first-serve terms!

Donations can also be made in lieu of flowers at The Ebert Foundation, c/o Northern Trust at 50 S. LaSalle Street, Chicago.

We can't even begin to predict what kind of turn-out his service will bring, but we imagine it will reflect just how much joy and happiness he brought to countless people over the world for so many years.

You may be gone, but you will certainly not be forgotten, Roger.

May you R.I.P.

I'm sure that many, many fans will attend. Roger Ebert was a legend in the world of film critics and nobody will ever be able to touch him in level of importance.

Used to love his show with Gene Siskel and he was one of the few critics whose opinion I usually agreed with and respected if I did not agree on occasion.
RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

Lea Michele & Naya Rivera's On Set Feud Led To One Of Them Storming Off! Get Glee's She Said, She Said Deets HERE!

Uh-oh, drama is a-brewin' on the Glee set and we're not talking about the scripted dramz!

Word on the street is Lea Michele has been a total diva during filming and Naya Rivera isn't having it!

Sources close to Naya revealed most of the cast and crew were annoyed by Princess Lea's antics on set this week, making everyone wait to shoot while she dealt with personal matters!

So, Naya did what any other fed up person would do! She went straight to the producers to tell them about her Glee co-star's behavior, and when Lea caught wind of the tattletale, she left the set!

Talk about a figurative slap in the face!

Lea sources, however, are claiming the two co-stars weren't even filming scenes together, and that Lea was unaware of the said complaints against her.

The source even mentioned Naya being tossed off the set for HER rude behavior…not the other way around!

This is totally doesn't sound like Lea, especially since she's all for the encouragement and empowering other women! She is the ambassador for L’Oreal Paris’ Women of Worth campaign after all.

But maybe life is imitating art for these two!
