I don't think Madonna can handle not being that culturally relevant anymore. Her last smash hit (which was a duet with Justin Timberlake, no less) was nearly 15 years ago. There would be 20 year-olds alive now who aren't familiar with her music, or only know of her as someone who was big in the 80s. It must be tough for someone with her ego.

Old people talk like that all the time. Off the top of my head, John Lithgow, James Hong, and Norman Lear have all had similar quotes recently. More than likely doesn't mean anything beyond them stating the obvious that they're not gonna be around forever.

Lots of votes for Tammy. Guess the reasons are all justified and ancient.

Lauren Hutton, the accomplished American actress and ex-model who is probably remembered as a famed top fashion model, who was a Playboy Bunny at age 20 in New York, is 79 today. She was one of the most famous and highest paid cover girls during the '60s. Lauren Hutton is also well-known for her starring roles in the films "American Gigolo", "Lassiter" and "The Gambler". Roland Joffé, the famed British-French film director, producer and screenwriter who began his career directing 8 episodes of the long-running soap opera "Coronation Street", is 77 today. Roland Joffé became famous with "The Killing Fields", his very first film as a director. His additional feature film credits include "The Mission", "Fat Man and Little Boy", "City of Joy", "The Scarlet Letter", "Goodbye Lover", "Vatel", "There Be Dragons", "The Lovers" and "The Forgiven", among others.

Legendary American film director Martin Scorsese celebrates his 80th birthday today. British footballer Terry Fenwick celebrates his 63rd birthday today. Some of the teams he played for include Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Queens Park rangers and Tottenham Hotspur. He also played for England between 1984-1988 and later managed numerous teams including Northampton town and Portsmouth.

On this day yesterday (16th November) three years ago in 2019, iconic british photographer Terry O'Neill died aged 81. Photographer of royalty ,music stars and film stars who was known for taking photographs in unconventional surroundings or context and finding his subjects more 'at ease' - he is also the ex husband of actress Faye Dunaway with whom he has had a dispute with regarding their son. Terry openly says his son is adopted and Faye maintains he is their biological son.

Obviously subjective but I think he has a decent claim to being the last survivor of a death camp to go on to become famous for a reason other than being a survivor.

Don't be ridiculous. Glynis Johns doesn't die.

About time this man had his own thread, 89, not been seen in public this year. Last news was in March when his pet dog bit off the fingers of a Portuguese man- link below http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4355422/Burt-Bacharach-sued-dog-sitter.html

Mods should just make these replies into his thread. He's 56 and apparently became homeless this year, then was brutally mugged, on top of everything else that's happening to him.

List of the Missed then, probably already done if I know DI.

Personally I think he should be allowed. Quite a fascinating figure from the few things I read about him

Remember Phil Hartman? Troy McClure/Lionel Hutz in The Simpsons but a string of popular TV and film in the 90s and genuinely very popular with fans. Murdered by his own wife, whom he had tried to protect from addiction for years, after she relapsed on cocaine and went psychotic. Guess who supplied her with the cocaine then feigned ignorance at the results, despite her known history? Andy Dick got away with indirectly killing one of Hollywood's most beloved actors. That he got away with harming others is no surprise. He's a cunt.

Marg Helgenberger, American film and television actress best known for her roles as K.C. Kolowski in the ABC drama "China Beach" and Catherine Willows in the CBS drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", is 64 today. Diana Krall, the exceptional Canadian jazz pianist, singer and songwriter whose breakthrough album, a tribute to Nat King Cole, spent 70 weeks on the Billboard Top 10 Traditional Jazz charts, is 58 today. Throughout her career, Krall has received three Grammys and eight Juno Awards. Diana Krall has sold more than 6 million albums in the US and over 15 million worldwide. She has also earned nine Gold, three Platinum, and seven Multi-Platinum albums.

I have resisted picking Madge for years. The more she gets to look like Pete Burns in his last years, however, gives me pause as to whether I should punt her on my team.

Anyone else starting to think Madonna might be worth a shout soon?Her behaviour is getting more bizarre by the day and she is clearly on drugs.

On this day 33 years ago in 1989 Canadian champion swimmer and Olympic gold medallist Victor Davis died aged 25 after being seriously injured in a hit and run car incident. He won the gold medal for the mens 200m breaststroke at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles as well as two other silver medals that year and one silver at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

As soon as Russia loses 1 squaremeter of land, meaning Russia proper and any of the occupied lands pre-war (Crimea, Abkhasia, South Ossetia), he'll have to get removed.

He was on Last Word the other week but the BBC didn't mention him on the Last Word website. Which was a bit of a troll move.

I would say Georgia Holt is more famous than Bill Gates Dad. I remember her being interviewed by Clive James alongside Jackie Stallone and she has been a guest on Drag Race

When she dies, will they put her in a coffin or will they put a coffin in her and pull it out as part of the funeral service?

Not a death, but Finnish cross country skier Remi Lindholm suffers 'unbearable pain' defrosting his penis after the particularly chilling 50km event.

uncionfirmed rumours are saying he's in his final days. cant say how accurate they are though What exactly is the difference between a confirmed rumour and an unconfirmed rumour?! 'un'. And yes, I was just getting my coat. PS. Similarly why do "I couldn't care less" and "I could care less" mean much the same thing despite on the face of it being antonyms?

I'm not impressed. regards, Hein I bet you aren't. The language of diplomacy is rarely able to resonate with the voters, who would be more impressed by a "hawkish" statement akin to the one made by Mr Abbot. For them, Mr Rutten's words might even come across as wimpy or wishy-washy, since they Western media has suggested that the bulk of the responsibility (for the disaster) lies with the Russians and they'd feel that the bastards deserve to be called out… But now consider another aspect: Which type of response is more likely to elicit a positive response from Mr Putin? If you are going to meet him with your pre-announced intention to "shirtfront" him, you'll most likely put him off (since he can hardly allow to be publicly humiliated) and he'll try his best to avoid you altogether or terminate the conversation as soon as he can. It might also (negatively) affect the diplomatic and economic relations between the two countries since they'd not be able to broker a high-level deal for at least a year or so (until Russian voters will have forgotten about the incident). On the other hand, Mr Rutten's more diplomatic stance might result in a better chance to actually accomplish his goals, namely to get the Russians to co-operate with them and help their investigative efforts. Mr Abbot might be able to afford a rift between Australia and Russia precisely since they have never viewed the Russians as serious partners anyways, and the little worsening of their - already insignificant - relations might be affordable if he can score a few points with his own voters. On the other hand, the stakes may be higher for Mr Rutten and the Netherlands, so their more cautious approach might also be justified. You are correct in that Abbott's comments were intended for a certain section of voters domestically (It has also had an adverse affect on another section of voters.) The thing is, he has also painted himself into a corner in that he will have to now live up to expectations to "talk tough" with Putin or he will lose the respect of those voters. It is all theatre; the real negotiations will be behind closed doors.

Well, I was in attendance at Wembley yesterday and I'm pleased to report that the popularity stakes were as follows: 1) Lewis Hamilton 2) Martin Johnson 3) The Miami Cheerleaders 4) The streaker 5) The Feeling 6) The Dolphins team 7) The Giants team 8) The military marching band at halftime 9) The Mexican Wave 10) John Terry My personal favourite moment was John Terry getting simultaneously booed by 80,000 people, nicely juxtaposed between the huge cheers for Martin Johnson and Lewis Hamilton! I think there was an American Football match in there somewhere as well......
