Mema, Grandma from 'Hollywood Hillbillies' Dead at 76

Dolores Hughes, known affectionately as Mema, the unlikely/likely breakout star of the hit show, "Hollywood Hillbillies," has died ... TMZ has learned.

The exuberant grandma on the reality show died of heart failure at a hospital in Grayson, Georgia last Wednesday, according to her manager, David Weintraub.

"Hollywood Hillbillies," the #1 show on Reelz at the time, was a reverse version of "The Simple Life" and an obvious riff off the sitcom back in the day, "The Beverly Hillbillies."

Mema became the center of attention in her fam, which included grandson Michael Coppercab, who has gone on to become a YouTube star.

The show followed the family as they tried to navigate Hollywood, with the help of Ray J and Weintraub.

Chuck Carr, a former outfielder in MLB, passed away at the age of 55 after a battle with cancer

Mr. Carr played with the following MLB teams during his career:

New York Mets (1990–1991)
St. Louis Cardinals (1992)
Florida Marlins (1993–1995)
Milwaukee Brewers (1996–1997)
Houston Astros (1997)

Carr topped the National League with 58 stolen bases in 1993. He helped the Astros win the 1997 National League Central Division.

In an eight-season career, he played in 507 games, had 1,713 at-bats, 254 runs, 435 hits, 81 doubles, seven triples, 13 home runs, 123 RBI, 144 stolen bases, 149 walks, a .254 batting average, .316 on-base percentage, .332 slugging percentage, 569 total bases, 30 sacrifice hits, 10 sacrifice flies and four Intentional walks.

He is perhaps remembered most for his hasty departure from the Brewers in 1997. After popping out to third base on a two-ball, no strike count, after being signalled to take the next pitch, Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in third person: "That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0." He was released from the club shortly thereafter. He played the rest of that season with the Houston Astros, where he hit his first postseason home run off John Smoltz in Game 3 of the NLDS. The home run would be the last at bat of his career.

His career stats included a batting average of .254 with 144 stolen bases.
