Spanish trans TV actress Isabel Torres has died at 52. Could have DDP implications if we get the UK QO...

Wendy Williams definitely inching closer and closer to "deserving her own thread" territory, as she has been locked out of her bank accounts by Wells Fargo after they labelled her an "incapacitated person" who is being taken advantage of.

Possible Hellstrom route to a QO if Sweden qualify for the World Cup (being held in November/December this year, remember). They're in the playoffs but, unfortunately for those who picked him, not in a group with Scotland or Wales. So they'll have to make the final 32 for any chance of his death being mentioned in a pre-tournament profile piece.

First Bob Saget, now Filipaina: a terrible year for the Olsens. Olsen Filipaina was an eggchaser on the league side of things, and apparently a pretty influential character who helped break barriers for players of Samoan descent in New Zealand. However, what you care about is the points: four active teams went for the the uce stand-off. An Fear Beag recovers from that early knockback to go ahead in his tie, ThereWillBeDeaths7 likewise now leads in his encounter, Sir Cunto gets his first points on the board and Annami looks like he might be handing out the first squonking of the tournament to Hell.

Oh that's what A2M means in porn descriptions.

An Fear Beag 3 Dan Lacey achieved a low-level of viral internet celebrity for his paintings of the great and good with pancakes on top of their heads - or, in the case of an artwork depicting Justin Bieber later purchased by Macklemore, their erect cock. Now that a QO has come in, Grim Up North and Salmon Mousse can both flip out, with the latter being the first team to get two corpses on the board this round.

The kind of pick that would have been DDP gold back in the day before they were banned, but maybe you'll find a use for it elsewhere: a fundraiser for the wife of Hartlepool manager Graeme Lee raised £60,000 after being shared by Crystal Palace fans ahead of the teams' FA Cup fourth-round match. She is currently suffering with a brain tumour.

That's a scraper rather than an actually manned blog, but I'd be stunned if nothing turns up in the next few hours.

Bamber Gascoigne buzzed out at 87.

Between that and the Wendy Williams rumours, how long before we get a good conspiracy theory about early-onset dementia in America's entertainment industry?

Yeah, Lata samples were found in all corners of hip-hop in the early 2000s:

He's got bed-blocker written all over him. Would be stunned if he's dead by 2025.

Lata Mangeshkar - four to five. As in teams that profited from the Nightingale of India being grounded, with five picking her but only four scoring thanks to those sick bastards that didn't submit a team leading to a bye. ThereWillBeDeaths7 pulls things back to a draw in their match, while TQR, Pedro67 and Sideik all take the lead in theirs. LizLemon 0 v. Masterffull 0 Sir Cunto 0 v. theoldlady 0 Salmon Mousse 3 v.

Probably atrophied from lack of action over the past 10 months.

On The Masked Singer tonight (as a panellist rather than dressing up as a tapir) for any form-spotters.

It's not the mid-70s, but it looks like Leland is sleeping on the job - permanently. The hammer has come down on Christensen, a former auctioneer, and accordingly there's a lot of points being dished out. Annami cashes in their joker while An Fear Baeg gives us our first match with both teams scoring. LizLemon 0 v. Masterffull 0 Sir Cunto 0 v. theoldlady 0 Salmon Mousse 3 v. MortalCaso 0 Sean 0 v.

Christ that's a name I haven't heard... well, since 1996. Am I remembering rightly that Max Clifford was her PR guy and he leant on her to try and keep all eight babies rather than let some die to ease the burden on the rest?

When Robin Thicke has the moral high ground over you, you know you've fucked up.

Correct.

Christos (not) alive. The former Greek premier wasn't too keen on communists, and accordingly there's no mass distribution of points here with only MariNisia smashing plates and going "OPPA" in celebration. Just 3 points though as he was also picked by the bye-receiving Old Crem. BabyBlue 4 v. An Fear Beag 0 ThereWillBeDeaths7 0 v. MariNisia 3

Wenner hated Zevon and banned him from Rolling Stone for a few years. Apparently there was some sort of backstage fracas when Warren was at the peak of his drinking... I mean, we can't all be as morally upright and with as few skeletons in the closet as Jann Wenner.

Biggest omissions from the R&R HoF imho: The Monkees Warren Zevon War Dick Dale Ry Cooder

We've been over this before though - if you're just going to judge it like that, then the HoF should just be decided solely on album sales. Put The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Michael Jackson in it and tell everyone else to fuck off. You have to have some allowance unless you want to argue that the Velvet Underground have less right to be in it than, idk, Four Non Blondes.

I mean, again, it depends on what we're calling the actual metrics of induction on. Fame? "Importance"? How good they were? I'd like to see Benatar inducted, she's been kind of whitewashed a bit from pop history but she was the first queen of MTV, long before Lauper and Madonna. MC5, NYD and RATM are all meme bands. Devo probably should be in as they've stood the test of time from a cultural standpoint, but then we'd have reams of thinkpieces about "Mongoloid" in the music press. Would induct Eminem if the only thing he ever recorded was "Just Don't Give A Fuck," but unfortunately he went on to have a 24-year career after that wherein he produced no other good or remotely listenable songs.
