Predictor

Even that goat from Hercules would be a better monarch named Greek Phil than the current Duke of Edinburgh.

Aren't we all?

Hahaha, even better than Zoolander 2?

It's such a terrible and (w)awful disease, so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a harmless nickname.

I'm indifferent towards most celebrity deaths (except in special cases like serial killers). It also depends on circumstances like age & cause of death. Doris Day dying at age 96 of natural causes in her sleep is less likely to upset me than if 24-year-old Justin Bieber was suddenly diagnosed with stage 4 pancake cancer only to be devoured by a shark just a day after his doctor proclaimed that his cancer had been cured and he went to the beach to celebrate while yelling "FUCK YOLO, I'M GONNA LIVE FOREVER NOW". And I like the former celeb much more than the latter one. Age has always been a factor, maybe because it reminds me of my own mortality, and that youth is not a shield that necessarily protects you from death.

Kate Hudson's daughter Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa was born on 2 October. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a23627171/kate-hudson-first-photo-baby-daughter-rani-instagram/ Pippa Middleton's son was born on 15 October. https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1032314/Pippa-Middleton-baby-boy-name-weight-gender-details-Kate-Middleton-sister Josh Brolin's daughter Westlyn Reign Brolin was born recently. https://people.com/parents/josh-brolin-kathryn-boyd-welcome-daughter/ Looks like I will win this competition. What is the first prize btw? My very own baby? Or maybe I get to keep one of the celebrities' babies? Just make one of those carnival spinning wheels and see where it lands. Simple.

A few names that have never been mentioned on this forum before. Legendary Irish entertainer Richie Kavanagh (b. 1949) was diagnosed with Parkinson's back in 2011, but probably had it since around 2006. He will turn 70 next year. American politican Ted Poe (b. 1948) got leukemia last year and, while said he was healthy as of Nov 2017, will retire soon so maybe he is still in poor health after all? Raimonds Vejonis (b. 1966) is the current Latvian president. He was battling a specific health issue in 2016. Might return again in the future, who knows? Canadian Olympic figure skater silver medalist Karen Magnussen's (b. 1952) health deteriorated after an ammonia leak in 2011. Dutch football coach Huub Stevens (b. 1953) quit Hoffenheim in 2016 due to being diagnosed with heart arrhythmia. Irish bishop William Lee (b. 1941) stepped down from his job as a child abuse enabler bishop in 2013 cuz of poor health since 2011. Well, he is still alive 5 years later, but he might be on his last breath by now. British illustrator Clifford Harper (b. 1949) has throughout his life had tuberculosis, heart attacks, diabetes & most recently cancer. Scotish lead singer for the hard rock band Nazareth Dan McCafferty (b. 1946) has strangely never been brought up here despite having COPD. Had to retire in 2013. Karen Lewis (b. 1953) is a Chicago teacher & labour leader who has brain cancer since around 2014. Here is a recent article. Maybe the man formerly known as Rad Guy could tell us just how notable she really is for any type of deathpool... Brazilian football coach Muricy Ramalho (b. 1955) suffers from diverticulitis since at least 2015, and had to leave Sao Paulo. More recently, he fell ill during the World Cup in Russia during a TV studio job. Taiwanese buddhist Hsing Yun (b. 1927) has had a few health issues in the past. Just two years ago, he had a stroke. Steve Lieberman (b. 1958) is an American punk musician who is also known as "The Gangsta Rabbi". Has had cancer for I don't know how many years now, and even released an album in 2014 titled Cancer Ward. Taiwan's former president Chen Shui-Bian (b. 1950) got his medical parole extended in May 2018. He and his wife were imprisoned back in 2009 for 19 years due to bribery charges. The "Health" section in his Wikipedia page reveals a few of the issues he's had in the past 9 years or so.

Had you used this strategy at the end of last year, you would've gotten points for Leicester's owner!

A. Umm, it's usually the same old names that gets repeated ad nauseam anyways, so what's the point? This is a community that's obsessed with celebrity health, people here know about every single ailment that any public figure has. B: Lol, how long did it take to paste the rules to this thread? A whole 10 seconds? C: Two different death pools, with two different deadlines. It's freaking me out that we're already looking towards 2019, time needs to slow the fuck down. We're all one step closer to the grave, and we're not getting any younger. Oh, and one more thing: Fuck off, @Deathray

Why? It's not even freaking November yet, lots of celebs will have died before that hog-thingy that you speak of will arrive. Who in their right mind would actually send their full list any earlier than, say, mid-December?

Plot twist to the whole metoo campaign: Kevin Spacey rapes Harvey Weinstein, and is suddenly seen as a hero and inspirational figure all around the world. They build statues of him, name streets after him, and an annual award called The Kevin Spacey KBE Anti-Predatory Behaviour Award is established.

The 5th year anniversary since her sister Joan Fontaine's death is fast approaching. Time flies like a DH.98 Mosquito, doesn't it? I made a few comments in this thread back in 2013 about Olivia reaching the age 103 (she was 96 at the time), and I'm glad not to have been wrong thus far. Long live Olivia!

I can't seem to find the place where you edit your sig. Have I gone Peter Falk here, and it's located where it has always been, or does anyone else have this issue as well? Nvm, solved it. The website was just fucking slow to show the editing area , that's all.

Kinda funny that my best DDP season since 2013, points-wise, has come in a year when I couldn't even be arsed to create a signature with all my entries......

Jamaican footballer Luton Shelton (Nov 1985) has ALS. I remember him playing alongside Henrik Larsson at Helsingborg many years ago. He's Jamaica's all-time top scorer, so definitely obitable.

I have 80 points now: Katherine Jenkins: 20 points Michael Phelps: 15 points Sunny Leone: 15 points Kirsten Dunst: 15 points Miranda Kerr: 15 points + Pending points for: Kate Hudson: (20 points) Josh Brolin: (20 points) Pippa Middleton: (15 points) So realistically, I should end up with 135 points in total.

Katherine Jenkins' son Xander Levitas was born in April & Kirsten Dunst's son Ennis Howard Plemons and Miranda Kerr's son Hart Speigel were born in May. https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/950446/Katherine-Jenkins-baby-son-Twitter-Instagram-husband-pictures-latest-news https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a20445254/kirsten-dunst-jesse-plemons-welcome-first-child/ https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/celebrities/news/a20642822/miranda-kerr-baby-boy-evan-spiegel/ It's like God's run out of baby girls, and keeps giving couples sons. Kate Hudson is pregnant these days: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/06/entertainment/kate-hudson-pregnant/index.html Same with Josh Brolin: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6116285/Josh-Brolin-shares-sweet-snap-pregnant-wife-Kathryn-Boyd-shows-bare-baby-bump.html Errm, I mean his wife is, lol.

FTFY.

For those unfamiliar with the letter "å", it's pronounced about the same as the "o" in Willoch. Really close to the name Corey, except an "e" at the end. Never heard of this dude, though. All politicians are shite anyways, and I'm already fucking sick of all the countless election posters spewing cliched BS that they spam the streets with. The election campaign can't end soon enough.

RIP Mary Carlisle. Am I correct in saying that Olivia is now the oldest living Hollywood actress? I mean, even Patricia Morison died not too long ago, so who else could there be?

"My favourite fan mail was from an 18 year old Polish young lady who signed her letter with 'Love and Kisses'". Wonder what else was in that letter that made it his favourite. Imagine having hot young Eastern European girls all over you decades after your fame peak and you're old as fuck.

What troubles me about Betty White is that

Henry Gertrude sure has a lot of middle names...
