Ach, I really do like these speculations. They are fun, no matter if the Committee will really include all these thoughts and wishes or not. For 2022 I hope that Gorby, Jerry Lee Lewis and Desmond Tutu will return. As a feminist and advocate of equality (a little exaggerated, I know ) I hope for many women to join the list but it's really not easy to make a selection here. Betty White, Angela Lansbury and Joanne Woodward will be kept until their death, same with the Queen. I think that Imelda Marcos, June Brown and Rosalynn Carter won't be dropped either. It's hard to decide wether Linda Nolan and Shannen Doherty should stay on the list or not - I would keep them. Betty Boothroyd could probably left out next year, maybe Yoko Ono and Prunella Scales, too. Plus Vanessa Redgrave. Will Loretta Lynn (No.6!) be skipped? Then Barbara Walters rather than her. New ones could be those already mentioned Nichelle Nichols, Duchess of Kent and Francoise Hardy, but what about Joan Plowright, Maggie Smith or Marianne Faithfull? Olivia Newton-John could return next year.

Yes, very annoying

Stephen Baldwin in "Threesome" 1994

Oh, those Baldwins

My favorite Baldwin brother was Stephen in "Threesome" from 1994. OMG, he was so hot back then

That's a big one. R.I.P. Edit: Ah, a hoax

Is his statement to be interpreted as a prophecy? Or is it a revelation? https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/news/emeritierter-papst-benedikt-sehnt-sich-nach-dem-jenseits-li.189670 >>Pope emeritus Benedict XVI. longs for earthly death according to his own word and then a reunion with friends in the hereafter. In a letter of condolence for his former professor colleague Gerhard Winkler, the 94-year-old wrote: “Now he has reached the afterlife, where many friends are sure to be waiting for him. I hope that I can join them soon. "<< May his wishes come true

Another one from our long list who doesn`t made the main list unfortunately. It's time for hit No.10 by now!

They should all do that because I still have 9 out of that 11 on my DDP main team!

Ah ok. Didn't know that. Then Kim for No. 1 of course!

Or Depeche Mode. Or Tina Turner. Or R.E M. Or Janet Jackson. None of them had a No.1 on the UK singles charts.

Centenarian Ruthie Tompson was picked by Elephant, Steve and again - theoldlady: third hit in a row!

Arrrggghhh... there goes another potential Drop 40 candidate... I also would have predicted that he would've been included on the DeathList.

Next (solo) hit for theoldlady and her pick Bernard Tapie!

Only theoldlady picked Greg Gilbert, so one point for her.

Yes, very sad. But what's even sadder is that I didn't pick him in the DDP or the AOP.

She should be included on our D-A-CH-list for next year.

What a story!!! https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/2021-09/landgericht-itzehoe-prozess-stutthof-sekretaerin Google translator: "Arrest warrant for the ex-secretary in the Stutthof concentration camp Around 65,000 people died in the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig. A former concentration camp secretary is on the run at the start of the trial. A trial against a former secretary in the German concentration camp Stutthof near Gdansk begins before the regional court of Itzehoe in Schleswig-Holstein. The 96-year-old defendant Irmgard F. faces more than eleven thousand cases of aiding and abetting murder and several cases of aiding and abetting attempted murder. According to the indictment, she worked in the camp from 1943 to 1945 as a typist and typist for the commandant's office. She is charged with helping those in charge of the camp with the systematic killing of prisoners. However, the defendant is fleeting. The district court had issued an arrest warrant, said the presiding judge Dominik Groß. The woman left her home in the morning and took a taxi to a subway station, said a court spokeswoman. Therefore the trial against the former secretary of the management of the Stutthof concentration camp was delayed right from the start. International Auschwitz Committee criticizes the accused's escape The flight of the defendants caused outrage at the International Auschwitz Committee: "This shows an incredible contempt for the rule of law and also for the survivors," said Vice Executive President Christoph Heubner. The committee represents concentration camp survivors and their relatives. An estimated 65,000 prisoners, many of them Jews, died in Stutthof during World War II. The camp near Danzig gained notoriety for the catastrophic supply of the inmates, which the SS consciously accepted, and who mainly died of exhaustion and illnesses. Most of the victims died as a result of the hostile conditions. At least 200 were murdered in the gas chamber and a locked train car with Zyklon B. 30 were killed in the secret shot in the neck in the camp's crematorium. Several trials against former members of the Nazi camp teams have recently taken place in Germany. In July 2020, the Hamburg district court sentenced a former security guard in Stutthof to two years probation. The court found the 93-year-old guilty of complicity in murder in 5,230 cases."

Olivier Libaux, record producer, songwriter and founding member of French band/musical project Nouvelle Vague, has died at age 57. I really like their covered songs from the punk and new-wave eras but arranged in bossa nova style. https://www.liberation.fr/culture/musique/mort-dolivier-libaux-musicien-pop-et-producteur-branche-sur-la-reprise-20210929_IM52KBGGJFDCVPTVF6WQ6FUTQ4/

Linda Evangelista will always be my favorite top- or supermodel ever!

Next one: Robert Fyfe is a hit for Steve and The Daredevil!

Claude Lombard, who represented Belgium in 1968 with the song "Quand tu reviendras", has died at age 76. The song finished joined 7th place out of 17 entries. She returned to Eurovision in 1973, albeit as a backing singer, for that year's Belgian entry "Baby Baby" performed by Nicole & Hugo. Although this finished in last place in the voting, the song, and particularly the performance, has since assumed iconic status in the Eurovision fan community. https://www.ladepeche.fr/2021/09/21/mort-de-la-chanteuse-claude-lombard-reine-des-generiques-de-series-animees-des-annees-1980-9803544.php
