    Warhol Superstars

    Andy Warhol (wiki, 1928–1987) was an iconic American artist, film director and producer who broke grounds in his pop art movement, photography and experimental filmmaking. His New York studio, known as The Factory, promoted a group of personalities, known as the Warhol Superstars. They were a collection of models, drag queens, intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities, playwrights and patrons. The Superstars appeared in Warhol's work, but also accompanied him in his social life. They complimented the famous dictum, misattributed to Warhol, that "in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes". Warhol would film the subjects then simply declare them "superstars".

    Harry Potter

    The Hollywood Reporter have the list of attendees to the HBO reunion, marking 20 years since the first film came out. Confirmed to be attending, so far: Christopher Columbus (director) Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid) Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) James Phelps (Fred Weasley) Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell) Felton mysteriously collapsed whilst golfing in September 2021 and was taken to hospital. Coltrane has been ill for years, is wheelchair bound and seldom makes appearances. Perhaps their presence should be enough to rule them out for next year. Then again, James Michael Tyler appeared at the Friends reunion this year via Zoom, and he was dead 4 months later. Notably, J.K. Rowling has been snubbed, but that's more likely due to silly political reasons rather than anything else. Whilst HBO have said that other cast members will appear as surprises along the way, it's worthwhile noting who the omissions are for now: Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore #2) Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick / Griphook #2) Kenneth Branagh (Professor Lockhart) Brendan Gleeson (Mad-Eye Moody) Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia) Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) Julie Walters (Molly Weasley) Miriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout) David Bradley (Filch) Toby Jones (Dobby) Leslie Phillips (The Sorting Hat) Pam Ferris (Aunt Marge) David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr.) More may ofc announce they're attending later, but worth keeping a tab on these... Notable dead actors from the franchise so far... Richard Harris (Professor Dumbledore #1) Alan Rickman (Professor Snape) Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon) Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge) Verne Troyer (Griphook #1) Roger Lloyd Pack (Barty Crouch Sr.) Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy) John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander) (+ 28 others who are less notable)

    UK Singles Chart

    Philip Margo (wiki) of The Tokens dead at 79. His younger brother Mitch died in 2017, aged 70. Only one member still alive from the lineup that popularised one of the most annoyingly catchy songs in pop history.

    One of the other articles says she was the last of the "first generation of anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters" (whatever that means). She was interred in the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery (wiki). First and only time I will compliment the North Koreans. They certainly bury their statesmen and war heroes with a touch of class.

    Clarissa Eden

    Unless it's Carrie Johnson, who effectively runs the country and dictates policy.

    Clarissa Eden

    Agreed. So far I can see The Telegraph, The Times and The Sun. The Guardian will no doubt have an obit on the way, yet no BBC coverage. 10 years ago this would've been a quick fire obit from Auntie. It's amazing how much that organisation lags behind the rest of the broader UK media nowadays.

    Shadow Lists

    Ian St. John Rush Limbaugh Carlos Menem Leon Spinks Larry King Murray Walker Beverly Cleary Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Norman Lloyd Abdelaziz Bouteflika Jimmy Greaves Sarah Harding 12/50 Updated for the death of Harding. Thought I picked Eden but clearly not. I reckon I’ll get a 13th but no more. Pretty poor year. Thought I had a solid shadow list as well!

    Queen Elizabeth II

    The Christmas message isn't an engagement. It's a video clip, and it's pre-recorded, so you'd expect it to be done. She had no problem recording one for COP.

    You’re really boring everyone now by posting the same story rehashed by different media sources over and over again. Why don’t you understand that?

    Please put all of your thoughts into one post, rather than 5-6 in a row. I know it may be challenging to gather your thoughts, but just try it.

    For completeness, his death has now been reverted on his Wikipedia page. This is a death notice for his wife, and it's from 2009 – not 2019. Sir Thomas Baird is still alive and will be 98 next year.

    Nazi of SS

    I watched his documentary on the BBC about 10 years ago. It’s also on Netflix now to watch if anyone is interested. I personally think the man is nuts and is fighting a pointless cause, yet the vile anti-Semitism he faced when visiting South America in the documentary was horrible to watch.

    No. Many of us are open minded and suspect there may be something up, but your "OMG BACK PROBLEMS = PANCREATIC CANCER GUYS!" type posts are just hysterical conspiracy theory level shite.
