Paul Allen Dies; Microsoft Co-Founder Was 65
Paul Allen, the multi-billionaire who co-founded Microsoft alongside Bill Gates in 1975, died on Monday afternoon at his home in Seattle.
He was 65 years old.
Allen, who was worth around $ 20 billion around the time of his passing, lost his battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a disease he announced had returned two weeks ago.
“Some personal news: Recently, I learned the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma I battled in 2009 has returned,” Allen Tweeted on October 1, addingat the time:
“I’ve begun treatment & my doctors are optimistic that I will see a good result. Appreciate the support I’ve received & count on it as I fight this challenge.”
The wildly successful businessman’s Vulcan Inc. confirmed the sad news today, writing on Twitter:
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of @PaulGAllen, our founder and noted technologist, philanthropist, community builder, conservationist, musician and supporter of the arts.
All of us who worked with Paul feel an inexpressible loss today.
Allen’s sister, Jody, also released a statement.
She said Paul was “a remarkable individual on every level,” adding in full:
While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and philanthropist, for us he was a much-loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend.
Paul’s family and friends were blessed to experience his wit, warmth, his generosity and deep concern.
For all the demands on his schedule, there was always time for family and friends.
At this time of loss and grief for us – and so many others – we are profoundly grateful for the care and concern he demonstrated every day.
Allen and Gates were both college dropouts.
They came up with the idea for Microsoft in Albuquerque, designing software together for the nascient personal computer revolution.
Microsoft moved to Bellevue, Washington in 1979.
He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1983 and resigned shortly thereafter, but still was an active member of the board until the year 2000.
Allen was also a prominent figure in the professional sports world.
He had owned the Seattle Seahawks since 1997 and the Portland Trail Blazers since 1988. He was also the co-owner of the MLS’ Seattle Sounders FC.
Over the years, Allen donated over $ 2 billion to charity.
He was never married and left behind no children.
Said Vulcan CEO, Bill Hilf, of Allen:
“All of us who had the honor of working with Paul feel inexpressible loss today.
“He possessed a remarkable intellect and a passion to solve some of the world’s most difficult problems, with the conviction that creative thinking and new approaches could make profound and lasting impact.
“Today we mourn our boss, mentor and friend whose 65 years were too short – and acknowledge the honor it has been to work alongside someone whose life transformed the world.”
May Paul Allen rest in peace.

Tim Allen Defends Roseanne Barr, Asks Very Dumb Question About Comedian"s Firing
Tim Allen just doesn’t understand.
Speaking Thursday at the Television Critics Association’s press tour, the veteran actor basically asked those in attendance was simple question:
Can’t someone just be overtly racist in public without suffering consequences in this country?!?
Allen spoke on the topic of Roseanne Barr’s firing by ABC with journalists at the aforementioned gathering, with his remarks generating both headlines and many raised eyebrows.
(Barr, of course, was let go by the network and had her revived sitcom canceled after she referred to an African-American political advisor as an “ape.”)
“I go away back with Rosie and that’s not the Rosie I know,” Allen said, expounding about his friend and her situation as follows:
“She was the most diverse and tolerant woman I’ve ever known for a long time. Whatever got in her head, isn’t the Roseanne I know.”
Allen then expressed sympathy and shock for the ways of the world, especially when it comes to supposedly funny people who dare to utter controversial statements.
“It’s a very icy time. I’m a veteran comedian for 38 years and I’ve never seen it, like Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion, ‘We’ve gone backwards.’ There are things you can’t say. There are things you shouldn’t say.
“Who makes up these rules? And as a stand-up comic, it’s a dangerous position to be in because I like pushing buttons. It’s unfortunate.”
Who makes up these rules?
We can answer that ridiculous inquiry, Tim.
In Roseanne’s case, ABC executies made up the so-called “rules.”
Roseanne was an employee who was fired by her employer for actions the latter deemed inappropriate and/or actions it felt no longer made her a worthwhile employee.
It’s that simple.
People get fired from their jobs everday. Roseanne is just one of those people.
Allen is one of the few outspoken Republicans in Hollywood.
In May of 2017, he said he was “stunned” by the cancelation of the sitcom on which he starred, Last Man Standing, hinting strongly that he thinks it was yanked off the air due to his Conservative views.
(It has ran for six seasons at the time and ratings had been falling for years.)
Allen also once compared life in Hollywood for a Republican to life in Nazi Germany for Jewish people.
He’s back in the news now because FOX has actually brought back Last Man Standing, hoping it finds a similarly impressive audience to the one Roseanne enjoyed before the network axed that show’s comeback.
As for Barr?
She has oscillated between being regretful for her actions and blaming others for taking them out of context.
She recently swore to Sean Hannity that she is not racist and she has received support from non-Tim Allen celebrities as well.
“Roseanne Barr is my sister in comedy and she is my universal sister and what I won’t do… is throw her away for making a mistake,” Mo’Nique told KTLA last Friday, July 27, adding at the time:
“We’ve all said and done things, baby, that we wish we could take back… but when you’re in the public eye, you can’t.
Said Barr to Fox News the day before that:
“I’ve apologized a lot. It’s been two months. I’ve apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness.”
Oh, well, if it’s been two months… nevermind then!
All automatically gets forgiven after 60 days, right?
WATCH THE ROSEANNE BARR VIDEO ABOVE AND DECIDE:
IS SHE WORTHY OF FORGIVENESS?

Woody Allen: I Should Be the Posterboy for Me Too! I"m Great With Women!
Woody Allen thinks that it’s totally unfair that he’s getting compared to people like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. Those guys are accused of being sexual predators, after all.
Allen says that he himself has been a perfect gentleman and should be upheld as a role model in Hollywood. Dylan Farrow might disagree.
In fact … Allen says that he should be the “posterboy” for the #MeToo movement. Let that sink in for a moment.
Woody Allen made an appearance on the Argentinian news program called Periodismo Para Todos. His words on the program were reported by The Quartz.
He discussd the #MeToo movement, and made some surprising comments.
“I feel when they find people who harass innocent women and men, it’s a good thing that they’re exposing them.”
We certainly feel the same way, which is not normally what a person expects to say when Woody Allen is talking about allegations of sex crimes.
Then he says something that raises quite a few eyebrows.
“But you know I, I should be the poster boy for the Me Too movement.”
Woody Allen should be what now?
Allen attempts to explain:
“Because I have worked in movies for 50 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of actresses.”
He has. A number of faves have disappointed their fans by working with Woody Allen.
The beautiful Blake Lively and, even more recently, Selena Gomez come to mind. Fans have lamented that these stars should have known better.
“And not a single one — big ones, famous ones, ones starting out — have ever, ever suggested any kind of impropriety at all.”
As we mentioned, many of these actresses rave about how much they enjoyed working on his films.
“I’ve always had a wonderful record with them.”
That’s not really a surprise. None of the accusations levied against him would portray him as a menace towards any adult women.
Allen says that he doesn’t care to be associated with such allegedly vile persons as Harvey Weinstein and Brett Ratner.
“What bothers me is that I get linked with them.”
Gee.
“People who have been accused by 20 women, 50 women, 100 women of abuse and abuse and abuse.”
He’s not wrong about that. Some men in Hollywood appear to have been at this for a long time, and have wracked up a lengthy list.
Director James Toback has been accused of horrifyingly creepy behavior under the guise of the casting process — and his accusers number at nearly four hundred.
So, yes, there are a lot of creepy men in Hollywood.
Allen explains why he thinks that this is just so unfair to him.
“And I, who was only accused by one woman in a child custody case which was looked at and proven to be untrue.”
The line about it being proven to be untrue may be a bit of a stretch, as a judge determined that the clinic that allegedly reached that conclusion lacked sufficient credibility.
Some would point out that since he married the sister of his children — a woman whom many consider to have been his daughter — that he’s understating things.
“I get lumped in with these people.”
Woody Allen does not appreciate being included on lists of alleged sexual predators in Hollywood.
Woody Allen’s accusations of sexually abusing Dylan when she was a small child surfaced back in 1992.
Many were not fully aware of those accusations until Dylan published those accusations, in detail, as an adult in 2014.
Allen has continued to enjoy his career despite the accusations against him, and continued to claim that they were disproven when a judge did not seem to agree.
(We should note that it was prosecutors who dropped the case, which usually means that they are not sufficiently confident that they can win — which is sometimes very different from a belief about someone’s innocence or guilt)
Woody Allen isn’t believed to be a persistent danger to the adults with whom he works on his films. But should that exempt him from being mentioned in #MeToo discussions?
Well … he thinks so.
