Baby baby baby, you're out of time... Oh ok, you're not.

When the time comes, his strapline will be obvious: "Frampton Goes Dead."

The Peter Shelley who's just died was born Peter Southworth, while Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks was really Peter MacNeish. It is interesting that Pete Shelley doesn't seem to have remembered the other Shelley, who'd been in the charts only a year or so before.

Like Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, it wasn't his real name. I'm a bit shocked to learn that Alvin Stardust didn't sing "My Coo-Ca-Choo." Did they have the Alvin Stardust persona (described by Chrissie Hynde in NME as looking like "a 1966 queer-bar act") and go looking for someone to fit into it?

When will there be an audit for the world....?

No information as to how long he might be kept there. Could he have to serve the whole eight years of his sentence?

To be honest I was surprised he'd still been alive.

Canned Heat now have 21 former members listed as deceased on Wikipedia. 27 still with us!

I remember buying Dark Side at the time, after looking at Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure and being put off by their picture on the inside gatefold sleeve for some reason.

So did he, apparently.

Errr, "School's Out" was the title track of Alice's previous album* and "Eighteen" was on Love It To Death which came out in 1971. "Elected" was actually a rewrite of "Reflected" from their first album Pretties For You**, a big improvement though. *I remember buying it in 1972, with the cover that unfolds to make a school desk. Still got it! My actual class teacher at school didn't like Alice Cooper, I remember him saying "He sings like a little girl." Well, duh! - though I can't claim to have said/thought that at the time. **Back then only available in Britain as an import from Virgin. For years the first two Alice Cooper albums were universally held to be rubbish.

There's a picture of the girl's official mother and they look so much alike that it's almost certainly nonsense. But apparently the McCanns are willing to do a DNA test.

Or Stephane Audran. Or my favourite, Bulle Ogier.

Not really up there with Catherine Deneuve or Jeanne Moreau or Isabelle Huppert.

She looks good there!

SVU had been running for about six years when Jerry Orbach died?? He was meant to be a regular on Law & Order: Trial By Jury but was only in a couple of episodes before dying, and that show might have gone on longer if he'd lived.

I don't see any sign that she's likely to die soon.

I think Richard Belzer is actually the first member of Law & Order SVU's main cast to die.

She's getting to look like Julie:

I used to know a young woman who had a daughter of 16 and a son of about 3. Her daughter became pregnant and had a girl, so her son became an uncle approx 3 years older than his niece. Then my friend became pregnant again with another boy, so her granddaughter was going to have an uncle that would actually be younger than herself.

The mid-70s New York rock scene was one of the starting points of punk, but most of the best-known acts that came out of it, like Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, Suicide and Blondie, weren't "punk" musically. On the other hand the Ramones were one of the defining bands of punk.

A regular on What The Papers Say back in the day.

The helicopter pilot never worked in Hollywood again. His name was Dorcey Wingo.

Wikipedia have him listed as dead.

I actually do remember Picasso's death being in the news, and it saying that he was 91, which seemed to me a very old age - as indeed it is.
