Ideas and possibilities for 2024

Recommended Posts

Cecilia Jimenez, the cleaning lady who "restored" a damaged painting to hilarious results, is now "almost" 93 years old, and they made a musical about her:

She survived Covid, but has dementia. But at that age, who hasnt.

The much-anticipated (by me at least) Milli Vanilli documentary comes out in a few weeks. Interestingly the man behind the scam (and Boney M as well as several other Europop jobbers) 82-year-old Frank Farian doesn't appear, although his wife does. Guilty conscience or sign of something more serious?

Obviously a prominent name for our german list... So... He had emergency heart surgery in 2022:

He has a pig heart valve now:

replace the former by Roberta Flack and the latter by Noam Chomsky and the illusion will be perfect !

If you have a Thich Nhat Hanh-shaped hole on your pool teams, you might want to try sticking in the major Buddhist leader Ajahn Sumedho, 90 next year:

He still occasionally does speeches at the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in Hertfordshire UK but not as frequently as he once did.

Line Renaud was present at the inauguration of her garden in the Champs Elysées. Not frail but she’s beginning to look her age : shacking and short of breath. Wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t make it to 98

Someone who has been so much in public eye UK wise but gone very quiet is Dame Julie Walters. She pulled out of a drama in early Spring 2023 and then silence.

 

Bowel Cancer stage 3 back along into the mix.

Try Sutrisno was rumoured dead again two weeks ago, but currently he is not hospitalised and is "doing great".

Try Sutrisno (Indonesian politician and general, Suharto's VP, 87 and probably suffers from cancer) looking "hale and hearty" last week at an Indonesian Armed Forces gala:

Severe Back pain is a very suspicious reason to withdraw as well.

I cannot imagine a celebrity less likely to be picked by the DL Committee than Deryck Whibley. He could have a time bomb surgically grafted to his head with the time set for "January 1, 00:01" and they'd still pick Bill Beaumont instead.
