Actor Ben Gazzara has died aged 81. One of those actors whose name you know because he's been in so many things, yet you struggle to remember exactly what!
Ironically succumbed to pancreatic cancer, the same thing that killed his "Road House" co-star Swayze.
How ironic.
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
That's not ironic, that's just a pain in the ass.
Yep
The ironic thing is that all the supposedly ironic things in Alanis Morrisettess song were in fact......not ironic
Maybe she knew that all along.

Film producer Zalman King, most famous for the erotic Kim Basinger/Mickey Rourke film 9 1/2 weeks has died aged 69.
Never has an age to die been more fitting than this one.
True, although Bobby Fischer dying at 64 comes close.

Good news for drug cheat Lance Armstrong: the charges against him of being a drug cheat have been dropped.
That rather suggests he was not in fact a drug cheat.

Rumor has it that I might register an account with Twitter under an assumed name and spread a rumour that a celebrity type has died accidentally while involved with a "winter sport" but (hesitation).
Rumo(u)r has it you can't make up your mind whether to be American or British.

Twitter awash with talk of Eddie Murphy dying in a snowboarding accident or something. I'm assuming it's bollocks
Indeed it is:

I'm not saying Randi won't get an obituary. He's fine for DDP. But this is the Deathlist that has its own unwritten rules on fame. I think it would need to rewrite them if they weren't unwritten. It seems to me that whoever didn't write the rules knew what he wasn't doing.
Of course you might point to the wording of the blurb that heads the list and that allows for Mr Randi because of the fame test that appears to have undergone a subtle change or two over the years. There's no mention now of stars as there has been in the past. But it does still refer to celebrities. Now James Randi may well be a celebrity, and I may well be a banana.
On the other hand, after viewing
and what he did to those wankers like Geller and Popoff I find I've become his number one fan. I still think he wouldn't pass a vox pop but I have to agree now, James Randi is a superstar. I'll get back to my tree, still a bit green. Apologies to Davey Jones, Spade C, the DL committee and all other Randi fans. Wouldn't it be great if Popoff was eligible for the list.The evangelist thing was obvious even before Randi's explanation. But I like him nonetheless.

An old bloke walks into a sperm bank and demands to make a donation; looking at his ID it's obvious he's 85 years old. The receptionist asks if he can manage to get anything out. "Don't you worry," he says, "My wife's 40 years younger and I satisfy her every night, she's away at the moment so I didn't want to waste a drop, I'll donate."
He's duly despatched with his porno and his jar to a cubicle. Ten minutes later the grunting noises from his cubicle are worrying everyone. The receptionist goes over to knock on the door. "Are you alright in there?" she asks.
"I will be," he says, "when I can get the lid off this f***in' jar!"
Heard it before.

At the risk of sounding insensitive I thought this was a joke at first.
He killed himself because his dog died?
-
It appears his downfall is nigh (unless Russia can save his sorry arse):
-
So, he's onstage in a few weeks and singing; "I've got to get a message to you, oh yeah, one more hour and my life will be through, oh shit!"
He's blatantly going to die on stage.

The question about Dunn is whether he had ever done anything worth making a docudrama about or alternatively, how would you make an 1.5 hour long program about someone who lived a normal life and generally behaved quite well.
Does Dunn have any skeletons in his closet?
Only the skeletons of the multitudes he has outlived...

OK, maybe not in any immediate danger, and it's not the most complimentary angle ever, but bloody hell, Jagger's looking old these days
He is 68 and has kinda looked that way for the past 25 years
as has Keith Richards. Lord knows how he has almost made it to 70!
-
I'm definitely regretting leaving him off my DDP team now. I'll be surprised if he makes it to 2012
I guarantee you he will make it to 2012

Got to give her credit even if you think she was stupid for doing it in the first place.

Ben did not do the opposite, he did, on the contrary, the same thing: he used an assumed name to mask his/her real identity. I'm not questioning using assumed names; I'm doing exactly the same thing here. I'm challenging the quality of 'Ben's' reasoning.There are literally thousands of sexual and child predators hiding away in dark corners of the internet and using assumed names to mask their real identity (the exact opposite of what I’ve been doing).
Yes, I was thinking that as well. I think this guy was just doing the whole thing for a laugh/to wind people up, I doubt his actions can or will lead to any changes in the law.

I was just looking for some information on Ladybird books and discovered this guy: 92 years old, deaf, widowed and still with us. He'd probably scrape an obit due to his work with Eagle comics too. http://en.wikipedia....artin_Aitchison
Did you really 'just' find that on Wikipedia?

"Former Skunk Anansie drummer and co-founder Robbie France has died aged 52 after reportedly suffering a ruptured aorta"
Wow, Skunk Anansie, that takes me back...

Story from the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail...ameron-was.html
A woman with dementia doesn't know who the Prime Minister is...hardly news-worthy.
I think if you asked a lot of OAP's in England who David Cameron is, they probably couldn't tell you.
I had a job a few years ago where I had to ask a series of questions to help nurses detect the early stages of dementia.
One of the questions "who is the current President?" at the time it was Bush, although quite a few would answer Ford or Reagan.
Even if they had answered "George Bush" that would have been no indicator of health, because they may have been referring to his father!

But what's the dealio with State Funerals in the UK? Is every ex-PM entitled to one?No. The last one was for Sir Winston Churchill.
Even the Queen Mother didn't get a full-on State Funeral, so I am mystified why people think Thatch might.
Perhaps it's similar to the United States, where leaders will often deny a state funeral in their will. The only reason Nixon didn't get one was because he refused one.
You sure it was nothing to do with the fact that he was a huge crook?

So he's a teetotal vegan. And about to die aged 62. What does this tell us...?
Bugger all.
I presume you meant to say that leading a healthy lifestyle is no guarantee of living to a ripe old age.

Bit of an update via in a roundabout way from the Krankies (don't ask), who visit him when they are in Australia...
Apparently Max Bygraves is now very ill with Alzheimers and no longer recognises anyone, so those "rare moments of lucidity" have gone. At his wife Blossom's funeral last year he didn't know where he was and was asking his daughter why he was at a funeral and where was his wife.
Also last time they visited Max Bygraves they took along a video of one his own shows from the 80s and not only did he not recognise himself but he also said that he was much better than the bloke on the telly was.
I guess he won't be telling people a story any time soon...
Hopefully we will soon be able to relate the story of his death.
