    Ok, up to my Imeldas voting it's okay, but Paul Bearer still has 2 minus points missing. Since he was not able to correct his voting despite being clearly informed, his two minus points are now forfeited. In addition, the act he last voted down has long since been eliminated (Helen Shapiro). So: Please always concentrate when voting, distribute only +4 and -6 points, pay attention to the person in front, don't forget the current date. I know the rules are very difficult, even if we have only been following them daily for several months...

    No Twitter activity from Linda in over 2 weeks. This could be significant as she tended to actively tweet or re-tweet on an almost daily basis. Maybe her time is coming soon.

    Fred Astaire died on this day 36 years ago, aged 88. - Fred's surname at birth was "Austerlitz"; his family changed it to "Astaire" in 1905 due to the connotations with the Battle of Austerlitz (of the Napoleonic Wars). - Fred and his older sister Adele were both child actors, debuting as a vaudeville act in 1905. They made it to Broadway in 1917, and often starred as dancing partners in the plays. Their act ended with Adele's marriage in 1932. - From there, Astaire would begin to star in movies, often with Ginger Rogers as his leading lady. Astaire requested that his dance scenes would move the films' plots along, and he also innovated single tracking shots. One of his most notable dances was in 1951's Royal Wedding (a scene that would inspire the iconic music video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"): Astaire would retire from dancing in films in 1957 when he was 58 (the same age Christopher Walken was in the music video). - Astaire would move to TV in 1958, hosting several television specials. 1958's An Evening with Fred Astaire earned a total of nine Emmys. - In 1970, Astaire would provide the voice of the mailman narrator of the Rankin/Bass Christmas special Santa Claus in Comin' to Town: - Astaire would be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1975 for his role as Harlee Claiborne in The Towering Inferno. - In his late 70s, Astaire took up skateboarding as a hobby, and broke his wrist one time. - Posthumously, Astaire was the initial inspiration for the Weezer song "Buddy Holly"- the chorus originally went "Wee-ooo you look just like Ginger Rogers/Oh oh I move just like Fred Astaire". Rogers was still alive at the time of the song's release and became DeathList 1995's third hit.

    On this day 30 years ago, Patricia Nixon, First Lady of USA between 1969 and 1974, died aged 81. She died before her husband Richard Nixon, who died in April 1994. This had not occurred in nearly 50 years, since 1944, when former First Lady Lou Henry Hoover died 20 years before her husband, former president Herbert Hoover. She was also the fifth and last First Lady to be older than her husband.

    Losing her hair again, resigned to her "one-way ticket" and making funeral plans: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/linda-nolan-neil-sedaka-song-29777462 Don't worry Linda, you're on my team. That always helps survival chances. (Sadly though, it might not, given the story of this year).

    One for the Scots today, David Bruce (King David II of Scotland) died this day 645 years ago aged 46. He was married at the age of 4 to an older woman (she was 7) and at the age of 7 ascended to the throne (presumably with a step ladder or some other assistance).
