Yeah, when I saw news of Fidel Castro in big bold red letters on CNN, I thought it meant that Fidel died. But alas, it just meant that he merely resigned and relinguished his position of power. On CNN, whenever there's some kinda tragic event that occurred (like somebody famous died or a bunch of people died in some accident), the breaking news bulletin will be in bloody red. When the breaking news is more upbeat, CNN's news bulletin will be in bright yellow. There were several "close call" instances the past weeks that I thought would've led to a celebrity death, but alas, none so far. Margaret Thatcher was hospitalized. i thought she'd kicked the bucket. But she appears to be fine. John Wooden was injured pretty seriously. I thought he'd be dead, especially him being 97 and all. but he appears to be doing great. Then there's this famous supermodel who was missing for like 3 days. Thought she'd turned out dead, but she was alive and well. With the way she behaved irresponsibility (she never contacted anybody regarding her whereabouts for 3 days), part of me was shocked to hear that she didn't end up dead especially after behaving in a reckless matter. OTher than the Eliot spitzer scandal--thank God for that--the news has sucked lately. Same old boring election crap, with issues of race and gender being thrown around. Boooorrrrrrrinnnng.. We need another famous celebrity to die. Or at least we could use another major celebrity scandal to liven things up.

Here are some names I thought up. But it seems the people you most expect to die end up surviving and living (they have the will to survive). Britney Spears - Honestly, I thought she was gonna off herself. Her career appears to be in the doldrums, she'd lost custody of her two children, and she's displayed an extreme recklessness. Yet, she appears to have slowly rebounded. Her career is back on track (she's got a guest starring role in a TV show), her music is back with new videos, and she appears to be slowly resurrecting myself. I had Britney Spears on my list of candidates who are most likely to die either by suicide or drug overdose. Jan-Michael Vincent - He's in terrible shape. This is a video I found of him last year. However, he appears to be trying to survive. i thought he'd kick the bucket by now, especially considering how terrible shape he's in. Guess he's hanging tough. Charlton Heston - Suffering from Alzheimer's. People predicted he'd be dead by now. Fidel Castro - Why won't he die? Kirk Douglas Paul Newman Ernest Borgnine John Wooden
