Britney's varied her current output of nudies, I mean, obviously, same poses, same body, same ideas - but...now she's in London https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/britney-spears-fans-confused-after-27545939?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mirror_main&fbclid=IwAR3ieTCQuWOI1XX81BEM6IU8tHiPTEje5DXOLkOdlHW9QvlXk7WVzEynkcQ

Here's Sonomyn in May last year. Has clearly declined in the last few years.

Sonomyn is very much alive and cranky! Here's him interviewed in 2020. He seems to be considered a sort of military hero in Mongolia, so no doubt his death won't go unreported. I'd be very very surprised if Rahimuddin Khan was dead too. He is way too big and infamous. Jong Chang-ryol is a 50/50 I'd say. If he is still around he'll receive a 100th birthday spread next year, if his birth date is correct.

This confirms that Tudu died in early 2007.

British actor Terence Stamp celebrates his 84th birthday today.
