Rapper Christopher Wallace AKA The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down 20 years ago today, aged 24.

For convenience's sake, if I like a post in this thread listing subtitles, take that as a sign the appropriate subtitles have returned.

Betty White is immortal, let's just face this fact.

Bet Rolf wishes he had thought of this ruse: "Justin Bieber impersonator charged with 900 child sex offences A Queensland man posing as pop singer Justin Bieber online in order to solicit explicit images from young children is charged with multiple child sex offences including rape and indecent treatment of a child."

Hmm, the ones I remember opening: Grange Hill Death Is Uniform Silvio Berlusconi Trials and Defibrillations Dead Architects Living In A Box...Leaving In A Pinewood Box

They were there the day before too, but perhaps you were part of the USA group practising arriving really late for World War III. Around the time of practising testing WMD on civilian targets and allocating reparations. This was the most popular option amongst the US groups. The practising starting your own war against teeny weeny countries and not doing so well, had a certain 'retro' feel that appealed to some, and would provide great material for some historically accurate films. The least popular choice however was the, practising having your hands in the air, pointing up to the sky at low flying aircraft. Rehearsing indignation and surprise in front of TV cameras, that what you do in a foreign land can actually have consequences in the USA, is particularly important. Getting off topic for a moment, whilst there will be some giving thanks that JH's tour is cancelled others may not. For those here is the man himself pretending to be a war hero.

Thank you @Davey Jones' Locker

@ImissMontpellier Another one you may like is this thread: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8334-charles-aznavour/?page=2 It started off being about Charles Aznavour (he made the main list one year!) but it is now about French singers in general.

Oui, Jean Cauvin avait raison sur la «dépravation totale» de l'humanité. (I am cynical!) By the way, be sure you check out this thread if you haven't already seen it: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/7873-foreign-personalities-from-stage-screen-politics-and-life/?page=34 It is where we discuss most French people, especially actors and actresses. New contributors are always needed!

Well, that'll be the proof. It'll be announced that Kris Marshall is the new Doctor, and five minutes later: Breaking news from Buckingham Palace on the health of the Queen...

Yes even if his music has NOTHING TO DO with Elvis Presley's Johnny Hallyday is one of most famous singers of France. He is nicknamed "La Taulier" which means "The Boss" in French. Some of my fellow French consider him as an idol. He is worshipped by many fans. 7 years ago, he was in a Los Angeles hospital and French news channels were breaking news because of his health.

Just a French thing.

Is that true? Wow. Well, she just won me over then. She understands the common man like me. God bless "er Majesty! Long may she reign!

We need someone to call her a political prisoner stitched up by evil imperialists for balance now, but yes, here's the Mail.

Sometimes the fur balls get too much, He'll be back when he's got his shit together.

People are getting waaaay too serious about this shit.

There's an entire television mini-series on a plate here. Whaddya reckon - including songs or not?

Hey, the police have just had a confession. It wasn't the mentally ill son or the daughter - it was Dad's brother in law who battered them to death "in a row about the inheritance of gold bars." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39177217

Expected to be released on 19th July 2017 as things stand at the moment. At last - the real deal; a musician where you can say "lock up your daughters" and mean it.

I wonder if these (non Aznavour) Chanson stars chances at a Qualifying Obit are closer to Michel Delpech or Leo Marjane? With Greco she would get an obit because of her associations with Miles Davis and Jean Cocteau,the rest I wouldn't know one way or the other if they peak the Obit writers interest in the UK.

Wow! Not just pretending to be a war hero, he's pretending to be war hero who can read and write. What's next, pretending to be an Uebermensch[1]? [1] i.e. someone who, according to Nietzsche, can eat using knife and fork. regards, Hein

No, he's a cretin not a chrétien. Well, I don't actually know that but I do know he's tried to be a Belgian and is now a Swiss or something to avoid paying Monsieur les impots. Ah pelebs, when they've got so much of it they want to give so little of it away or summat.

A little snippet here says Johnny Hallyday was also treated for colon cancer earlier this year. Oops sorry, I forgot to mention I saw that magazine (well the advert outside the newsagents) a few months ago. I tend to forget people are interested in death and health scares as well as squids, Portsmouth, grammar and bricks. http://www.parismatch.com/People-Match/Mus...-cancer-131217/ There is also a Le Monde version but it is also in French and to read all you need to subscribe at a price which I guess is what we can expect for the English language press soon. He has been put into a coma. Colon, coma, perhaps next a fou-stop. And he's nearly Belgian.
