Did anyone pick Sylvia Kristel ? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000482/
RIP Emanuelle
My next death pick is the rest of the Lakers' season:
Kobe tears achilles tendon
I assumed this would be a bump for Thatcher. But, then, I guess she might have gone on forever ^^
I've got my finger pointed at Betty White by November. Don't know what I should wager except bragging/shame rights. She is 91 this year.Quote:

Olivia De Havilland - 97.
Billy Graham - 95.
A fair number of those are suffering serious illnesses, too.
Don't hate my pick and not pick one yourself. C'mon. Seriously. Wtf? Its my pick, and I said by November.Quote:

She's so out of it she didn't realize she'd lost the leg until 18 months after the amputation (the arm on that side is paralyzed). Now that's a death pool candidate!
But is she YOUR death pool candidate? And by when?Quote:

Sad part is, he was making progressQuote:

WTF has happened to this chick?
I don't know if she'll die soon, but eating someone's face off is in the cards.Quote:

Cory Monteith passed away this Saturday.
Yeah, I doubt anybody had him.
He's had substance abuse problems, but I don't think anyone saw that coming.
Saw this late last night, very unexpected. I admit I watched Glee with my daughter the first 3 years, but then it moved away from cute so I stopped watching.
I doubt it will affect the show much, but I wouldn't be surprised if they incorporated it somehow.Quote:

That said, Hotel room+Famous+dead=Drugs or Suicide all too many times.
Not a household name, no. That doesn't make it any less tragic to die so young.
If it's a suicide or self inflicted overdose it certainly lessens and usually negates any tragedy. Letting people live how they want means letting them die how they want, too. If it's a random illness or heart attack or undiagnosed something or other that's a different story.Quote:

There is no tragedy in someone dying by suicide, since the death was intentional. The person may or may not have been misguided in choosing death, but it was their choice to make. Similarly there is no tragedy in someone dying when taking serious risks like drugs, tightrope walking without a net, mountain climbing with no harness, etc. I get that some people enjoy the risk, and that's cool. It just prevents it from being a tragedy when they ultimately roll boxcars on that final roll of the dice. Honestly, in that type of situation if it was someone I knew I'd be more likely to lift a glass that they got to go out doing something they enjoyed.
I have issues finding sympathy here because this guy dies and its some kind of big deal. Someone gets gunned down in philly and its barely a news item. In both cases a life ended before the person's sell by date, What makes someone from a popular network show worth more?
Do you have some sort of limited sympathy capacity?Quote:

He had recently gone to rehab again to try and make sure his life stayed on track (he first went when he was 19). People felt that they knew him, and they identified with him and liked him, and drugs still claimed his life even though he tried to fight it.
If that household has teen or younger children in it, odds are they knew who he was. Even my 75 year old mother knows who he is. They may not have known his real name, but they knew him.Quote:

Mel Smith of "Alas Smith and Jones" is gone as well. I grew up with that show :(
Didn't the guy who played Jones (originally) blow his own brains out? Pete Duel I think his name was.
Alas not Alias GrampsQuote:

What the fuck is Alas Smith and Jones?Quote:

English comedy show - made by two of the guys the came to fame on "This is not the Nine o'clock news". Rowan Atkinson worked with them, just not on that particular show.Quote:

Can we add George Zimmerman. I know he isn't really a celeb, but people who go through the kind of high profile case like he did often become "celebs" The stress of that, the guilt, the people who are out to get him, the civil trial, and the upcoming justice department probe...puts him at high risk. If he makes it past 2013 then he will be fine...but this first 6 months when he is still in the news cycle is precarious.
Anyone have Dennis Farina in the pool?
I am going to renew my Amanda Bynes guess... every week brings a little more crazy. She was picked up on a 5150 for setting fire to someone's driveway last night. I really hate to see someone in this much need of help, at least maybe now she'll get it :(
She used to be on my "list." You know, that one that your wife says, 'suuuuure, if ever you get the opportunity, you go right ahead.' Now, well, I have a feeling she'd make sure that woman knows nothing about our home, and that I get sterilized with bleach and isopropyl before she let me back in the house, let alone the bed.Quote:

Betty White will survive till she's 109, but have you seen Macauley Culkin lately?
Attachment 2438
Holy crap!
I've been saying he won't live since I threw him out of a club I bounced at in '94. Cockroach sumbitch keeps living.Quote:

I gotta agree that Betty White has at least 10 years left, but based on that picture Macauley Culkin looks like he might go any day now.
I have to say I think it is going to be Doug Hutchinson, hes about to do a sextape with Courtney Stodden...Heart Failure!! lol
Thats like a year old pic of Culkin.Quote:

What does the guy even do? I mean other than riding out his childhood fame and fortune.Quote:

She's a succubus and drained him for five years of life for each year they dated... Pretty good exchange if you ask me!
Mila Kunis just keeps getting more beautiful every year, so yes.
I know its way early, but that's why these things exist;
Justin Bieber, 2021. Calling it now.
+1
That late? I'm reasonably sure if any Blackhawks fan catch him it may be sooner.Quote:

Ronnie Biggs deserved to get shat upon by The Establishment. Save your sympathy for people who actually have a sense of morality.

take the argument to another thread if wish.
Ppatty has every right to express their opinion regarding this death, deal with it.Quote:

Sad
Damn creepy, considering how much Ghostbusters and Stripes have been on TV this month.
I was just about to post about Ramis. Ghostbusters and Stripes are two great movies, Ramis and Murray were really good together.
Let's not forget Groundhog Day, which he co-wrote and directed.
Amazing, amazing movie. Sad to hear he's dead :(
I had read they were close to getting a 3rd ghost busters going, so much for that :(
Lego will be releasing a model of Ecto-1 sometime in the next year or so, should even have mini-figs of all 4 of the ghostbusters.
I was under the impression that whole idea got scrapped, and they all opted that the video game was a smarter idea (they didn't have to lose weight, or make a story about their weight gains, etc).Quote:

One of these days Alice ...Quote:
REST IN PEACE: “Honeymooners” star Sheila MacRae has died at the age of 92.
A veteran stage, TV and movie actress, MacRae played Alice Kramden in the 1960s recreation of “The Honeymooners” and made a cameo as herself on “I Love Lucy” in the 1950s.
“She lived a good life and a long life,” her granddaughter said. “We’ll miss her.”
