Vinegar Tits

Gosh, what a busy day. Sad news though. RIP.

About bleedin' time an' all!

Really sad news. And, once again, an icon of my childhood gone. RIP. *makes dim all the lights comment*

"Confounds" doctors by, err, staying alive, according to the Beeb. Mind you, didn't Sihanouk confound doctors by miraculously getting better? And he's still not dead. "Conscious, lucid and talking to his loved ones" continues the Beeb article, though it does also state that he is exhausted, extremely weak and malnourished. So, just got enough energy to say goodbye then. I'll be surprised if he's not shuffled off this mortal coil come the end of the month.

Favourite and Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Synchronised and According To Pete are this year's victims of the Grand National. Oh, and thanks a bunch Shakalakaboomboom. Leading pretty much all the way but just didn't have the legs for it come the last two fences *grrrr*

Rapid deterioration in health I'll believe it when he carks it, frankly.

Feminist poet Adrienne Rich has died aged 82. Most annoying for me as that means my sister has a unique hit on the DDP

He looked like al-Fayed at Wills and Kate's wedding last year. Perhaps it's a conspiracy?

Eurovision icon Helga Vlahović, who hosted the 1990 Eurovision and was the spokeswoman for many years, has died of cancer in Zagreb age 67. Remember her with these classic Eurovision moments: The infamous "I don't have it" incident of 1981... and her legendary warm "hello" to everyone watching around the world in 1990...

Michael Douglas looked in rude health as well.

She's hardly Jim Morrison, is she? And for the uninitiated, educate yourself on how I Will Always Love You *should* be sung: http://youtu.be/gS-F4rfU4ns

Bollocks bollocks bollocks. He was going to be on my list and then I saw him on TV and he looked quite well When I was a kid I never got the joke about him being a one-armed washer-upper in 'Robin's Nest' (oooh, a chance to mention Richard O'Sullivan!). I think I finally twigged about, umm, three years ago...

There's better pictures of the night before on The Sun website. This site crashed about three minutes ago btw *proud*

" Korfball’s coming to town In your diary write it down Roll on October, hip hip hooray! Joy in Leeuwarden for sure" (sorry, had to be done) I Wanna Dance With Somebody was from her second album so surely she was well-known in the Netherlands before it?

Unless the Queen or Mandela carks it (and Mandela for one wouldn't be that much of a surprise really), that'll probably be the death of the year I reckon.

Legendary Irish conductor Noel Kelehan has died aged 76. He conducted 29 Eurovision entries, including 24 Irish ones.

Zsa Zsa. God knows why as she seems to have turned into the new Liz Taylor as far as coffin teasing is concerned.

That Glitter Twitter (ooh, see what I did there) account was live, at least briefly, quite a few weeks ago - well before this hoohah. What's the betting that 'Ben' is a Mumsnet-drear type?

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...

Possibly bad news for those who picked Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner for their deadpools...

*looks at teams* Poo.

Quick start to 2012 with two Eurovision deaths. First up was Denmark 1991 entrant Anders Frandsen, whose lifeless body was found on 1 January. Police are currently treating the death as suspicious. Next up is Kerry McGregor who memorably came second to Katrina And The Waves in the 1997 UK national final with . She apparently was also on The X Factor, but Eurovision is far more important. Died of bladder cancer aged 37.

I've voted for Etta James but I suspect it'll be a toss-up between Michael Douglas and Aretha Franklin, just to piss us all off.

That kind of takes the fun out of deadpooling... Surely it means we're all winners as all our picks will have died. The only negative is we're dead too...

And Zsa Zsa, don't forget Zsa Zsa...
