The Miser

CP: I'm dying to know why since I have him on my GG list. I pegged Bo so I'm hoping that the music trend will continue.

Drat....I was saving her for CP's pool.

Actress Tatum O'Neil arrested for purchasing Crack cocaine. That can't be very healthy....

This was listed in the ironic death thread I think.

Diddle he? Good hit Godot.

Ha! Got one right!!!

big hit for OOO on YSL

I guess you can knock out E St. Laurent

I picked Jack last year for my Death League team based on the cancer rumors but never could find much to substantiate it. He seemed to be working at least a bit last year. I'd like to hear more too. Here's the article I found last year about his health: http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2007/0...hile-still.html He's on my DDP team. Thanks DDP. I have him on my GG pool and was wondering if I bought a bill of goods.

If that's the case, I don't think Mengistu will be travelling back to Absentia in the near future.... That was funny

Think this should have been a dl pick.....oh well noone asks me

Jack Ramsay - American basketball coach now almost completely consumed by cancer. Only question is, will he get a UK obit - as discussed, it depends on if it's a slow news week death-wise or not. I can't find anything that says that he has cancer. Help?

Remember that cancer doesn't make you look bad...its the treatment that makes you look bad. Drnovsek looked healthy until the end because he stopped treatment.

Congrats to DDT and Happy Birthday to Starcrossed!

I also believe that people who have recent National Inquirer stories with the title "_________'s Sad Last Days". Recently, Dorris Day and Lorretta Lynne have been highlighted.

Assuming they make 2009....I'd say that Ted Kennedy, Patrick Swayze and Paul Newman should be definate adds. Fortunately for her, unfortunately for my list, looks like K. McCann is cleared of her cancer, so she maybe a drop.

They could always use other names...I don't use Misers in my US pools.

From a celebrity blog: "Prepare to fall in love with Amy Winehouse all over again, as a German newspaper is reporting today that she has now begun to wear a diaper whenever she leaves the house. It’s a hot image, yes? Just the idea of Amy Winehouse, drunk and high and slurring her already indecipherable accent. "Oh bugger, I've gone an' soiled my knickers I have." Oh baby. I can’t be the only one who is totally turned on right now." Pictures here: http://wwtdd.com/

Bo knows how to die! Diddley is next

She gets to be a "Dame" because she sang Goldfinger? Damn you Brits aren't all that discriminating in awarding that title.

I've told you before, MPFC, it makes no difference whether they have been picked by 5,000 teams or 1 -the actual update process takes the same time. What does take time is when you have a number of obits to do at once. That is the case that faces me today (4 at latest count), and all being well I can do it this afternoon. But I might wait until the evening as that is when the filmcrew for the DDP "featurette" are coming around, so I can do a "live" update, as it were. Look at you Mr. Famous guy...OOO may be famous enough to be listed next year.

He'll get more coverage today....everyone was at a bar-b-que yesterday in the US. Seems like that rag magazines do pretty well with the terminal cancer rumors.

I hate Pete Doherty too so its not sexist. I dislike people who were granted the gift of being talented and piss it away. And if you prefer the way she looks now, you will love the way she looks when she eventually ODs.

Mr. Stadnick would be very upset if he knew his thread has become a bastion for male-bashing. Does a Rosie O'Donnell thread exist?

Good stuff as always DDT. Now that DDT mentioned him, I give the Patriarch 10 days to live.
