oh for god's sake Zak ! we've already covered this for a long time on this thread. If you have nothing new to bring to the discussion then please stop that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Until Calment's bodies are exhumed, we won't know the truth 100% so it's completely unnecessary to ergot about that.

togolese roman catholic bishop Philippe Fanoko Kpodzro (b. 1930) hospitalized and deteriorating

Quick update on this case. It's becoming as a big story in France. Palmade was under cocaine when he caused the accident in which a pregnant mother, her husband and her 6 yo child were implicated. The mother lost her unborn child and the other 6 yo boy is still in critical condition apparently. Two young guys were with Palmade in his car but disappeared after the accident. His home was raided and turns out he was in a "chemsex" party prior to the accident. Palmade is now out of danger in hospital. He is known for being a drug addict for quite a long time and for having affair with really young men (sometimes minors apparently).

Too soon to tell

As for Brenda Lee, I was sure she was already long dead ! Thanks for this info, I love « Where the boys are » and « stupid cupid » probably her most famous songs. I think I may confuse her with Tammy Wynette, hence my thought she was dead…

I think so yes, all of her pairs are either dead or older and they are males (Paul Anka, Smokey Robinson, Johnny Tillotson, Willie Nelson…)

american singer Brenda Lee is still alive at "only" 78. I was sure she died long ago, I don't know why, I think she's the kind of voice I associate with Lesley Gore, Patsy Cline and Dusty Springfield, all long dead so that must explain it

Kim Novac is 90 today !

As the two first hits were 3rd appearances, Rosalynn, Cleo Laine, Woodward, Marcos, Ali-Khameney, Willie Nelson and Linda Nolan should be worried…

Another french giant hospitalized : veteran show host Michel Drucker has been hospitalized for some days now due to cardiac problem. He is 81 this year and underwent three heart sugeries in 2020. He is considered an immortal in France because of his presence for 58 years on our television. A lot of jokes on social media are often made about him being invincible and « ancient ». Here is the latest photo of actor Gerard Jugnot for example : for non french speaker : « a rare photo of Michel Drucker with a young Jeanne Calment »

Oh poor Ornella, I really love her. She has disminished quite rapidly I think but she probably can last one more year I think (at least I hope, so I can put her on my list) lucky you, you were at Sanremo

Ok so now, this one is a new vidéo from her yesterday, performing L’appuntamento. Seems quite frailer than in the previous one I posted some days ago. A year or two maybe but not much more. And this lip surgery… looks like Madonna https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoimdoWDKva/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Le Monde is not a qualifying obit for DDP ? Asking for Marcel Zanini’s qualification

one point for you, deathbyarsenic, congrats on this unique pick ! Isabel Peron in and Esther Rantzen as sub 3

Mahathir Mohamad please

agree for Leslie Caron. I would probably add Shirley MacLaine to this list. And Kim Novac too.

Don't worry, it happens, plus the search function is quite whimsical…

Robert Hébras dead at 97 ! Congrats, you won this round !

Come on, 110 is 13 years from now. I can see him reaching 100 but 110 is completely impossible

French humorist and actor Pierre Palmade « on a critical condition », fighting for his life after a car accident today. If he does die, it’ll be the biggest french death of the year I think. side note : I talked to him on Grindr, a very disrespecteful guy
