Celebrated R&B singer-songwriter Teena Marie has passed away at the age of 54. Manager Mike Gardner has informed CNN that the four-time Grammy nominee died in her sleep, adding in details that it was her daughter who found her lifeless body on Sunday, December 26 at her California home.
It is still unclear what caused the "Lovergirl" singer's death. Her publicist Lynn Jeter noted that Teena suffered a grand mal seizure a month prior, but seemed fine on Saturday, December 25. The publicist further recalled that Teena was excited to perform in Atlanta this week, which supposedly marks her first performance since the seizure.
TMZ reported that while no cause of death has been released, Pasadena Police Department do no suspect foul play and it seems the singer who was mentored by Rick James died of natural causes. Nonetheless, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office will perform an autopsy.

Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, the 54-year-old artist famously paired with late funk legend Rick James and was nominated four times for a Grammy Award, according to her official website.
Marie was found dead by her daughter after apparently dying in her sleep, manager Mike Gardner said.
“Teena was a black voice trapped in a white body,” said Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One, a broadcasting company that targets African-American and urban listeners. “I would always tell her that she was one of the greatest vocalists of our time.”
Among her songs were “Lovergirl,” “Portuguese Love,” “Ooo La La La,” and “I’m a Sucker for Your Love.”
I know it’s the holidays and not an ideal time for sad news, but when my little sister casually walked into the living room and asked, “Who is Teena Marie?...

Life is not going too well for "Star Trek: The Exhibition" as the Riverside Metropolitan Museum in California -- just outside of Los Angeles -- is pulling in far fewer crowds than originally anticipated. The exhibit was expected to draw 40,000 people over an eight-month visit, and gross some $800,000 for the museum. Instead, less than 4,000 people have visited since "The Exhibition" opened in June, and new estimates project some 17,000 people -- less than half -- will end up visiting the Star Trek exhibit, bringing in just $340,000. Mike Gardner, a member of the Riverside City Council, told The Press-Enterprise that he isn't giving up quite yet on the exhibit. "I would agree that on the surface, [the numbers] look disappointing," he said. "But the anticipation all along has been ...
