If it's 37C in Alaska, then yeah, I'd start to worry...

More like Elvis? You have got to be having a laugh. While I agree she did kick off the awful 60s soul revival crap in the charts, there was never anything unique or really even that iconic about her (yes, I know, sad chavs often copy her crappy eyeliner thing). She's more a River Phoenix if anything else - showed talent, had real potential but went too soon for it to be truly realised and go down in history. No, Michael Jackson's death, numbnuts!

There's always the ex-NOTW hacks that need a pick-me-up. What an extraordinary month it has been...

Not in the slightest. Jacko's death is up there with Diana in a OMFG/remember where you were when... way. Winehouse's death isn't even on par with Kurt Cobain - at least he was still significant and active music-wise when he killed hiself. Winehouse has been washed-up, "troubled" celebrity fodder for years rather than anything significant musically, despite the recent pathetic attempt at a comeback. Oh, FFS - she wasn't even on my Popbitch list, let alone DDP... Damn. More like Elvis I would have thought. Winehouse's influence on the current music scene is currently sitting top the Album charts as we speak - all that 60s souls revival stuff was kicked off by her...

Hope springs eternal. You never know even Chris Martin might not resist the lure of the crack pipe...

The curse of 27 strikes again...

Huzzah! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries...Bill-Boddy.html I'll drink to that!

Looks like he's got away with it for now with his combination of Flashman arrogance and bullshittery...

You're probably not aware of a chap called Iain who used to come on this site of which our friend bears a striking similarity to...

After dropping Jose Alencar and ruling out Liz Taylor at the last minute, I can only say... woop woop! EDIT: Now I'm waiting for an update to say Leslie pushed her down the stairs to get unique points "A post-mortem will be held in due course. Her death is currently being treated as unexplained and officers from Westminster are investigating." Hmmm. Wow!!! Suicide by drinking acid.... Does that qualify for unnatural causes? "...not suicide, the coroner ruled" Still an accident though, so the points bonus remains...

That's the World today in 2011...

He's just making up for lost time, that's all...

Dude seriously, you are kinda clutching at straws here I know,but if theres breaking news tonight that Nelson Mandela died today you'd start to wonder wouldnt you... I'd start to wonder if Cameron have had anything to do with it, seeing as he's buggered of to South Africa..

Hmmmm... Are you doubting LiberianSoccer.com? I don't doubt the story Spade, just whether the poor chaps death was entirely accidental...

Hmmmm...

Roger Hancock, brother of Tony and agent to various writers and performers, died on April 23rd, same day as one of his clients, John Sullivan...

Got it on V+...

I'm getting a hint of what it must have felt like for an Egyptian a few months ago...

Under no circumstances must Thatcher go anytime now. Not with Murdoch on the run...

Nancy Reagan. Strike while the first lady iron is hot...

Cynical marketing ploy and desperate attempt to combine the appearance of being in charge (by the Murdochs) with the generation of some sympathy (for those losing jobs), and thereby deflect criticism of the phone hacking, or summat. I'm not sure how the company is structured financially but if NOTW is a separate financial entity and they suddenly stop the income stream, there'll be some chance of deflecting damages claims because there won't be anyone to sue. I thought as much How long do you think it'll be before the launch of 'The Sunday Sun', or summat similar? July 17th?
