There's been a lot of teasing around this year.
A lot of celebrities who went missing or were hospitalized this year turned out to be doing OK.
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was hospitalized earlier this year. It was "BREAKING NEWS" over in CNN; CNN seemed to hint that he was gonna die soon; being 86 and all, I thought he was gonna die, but he turned out to be a-OK.
Margaret Thatcher also was hospitalized. She's doing fine now.
Everybody was hyping up the "inevitable" death of famous Mexican musician Emilio, but he appears to be on track for full recovery.
Seems like no one famous wants to die. They all tease us with their hospitalizations and their disappearances, but they all end up not just okay, but doing rather well. It's kinda ticking me off.
This year, seems to be more celebrity near deaths than actual deaths themselves.
Let's put it this way, the only celebrity who has died lately since Charlton Heston that I have actually heard of was Deborah Palfrey, aka DC Madam. (I never really experimented with LSD so I had no clue who Albert Hoffman was.)
