football_fan 42 Posted January 29, 2010 I really know nothing about business, but if they are trying to become as big as TMZ, how is making up a story about somebody's impending death going to do that? TMZ became largely well known and "semi-reliable" because they correctly reported the cardiac arrest and subsequent death of Michael Jackson before anybody else. I know that tabloidy guys like these make up stuff all the time because all they want are to sell papers or to get hits, but usually that's just based on rumors on fairly trivial stuff like "who's going on Celebrity Big Brother". Making up a story about somebody's impending death (if they have) is surely only going to mean that all of the reliable sites ignore them and that they will only end up facing a large legal bill. Making up that somebody's joining Spurs is very different from saying somebody's going to die when you have no supporting evidence. ...And it 'seems' they have now spoken out... She's not as bad as they said... Huh. Well that's me buggered for this year's competition. See you in 2011. You are still very much in the game, CP. Congrats on selecting her as your joker.

FF Thanks FF! It makes me feel better about picking the late Flory Van Donck on the HDP (and even on that, I still haven't gotten 100% confirmation). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estuarian Float 94 Posted February 3, 2010 Why didnt Zelda make the Death List? Were they afraid she wouldnt get an obit? Does the Deathlist require obits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WEP Posted February 3, 2010 Why didnt Zelda make the Death List? Were they afraid she wouldnt get an obit? Remeber the news? "Taken off life support" in December? They were more afraid, that Mrs. Rubinstein would not see 2010! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tired of explaining Posted February 3, 2010 Why didnt Zelda make the Death List? Were they afraid she wouldnt get an obit? Does the Deathlist require obits? It requires fame, much of which she did not have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
