https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie2988 What's the difference, really, between someone who becomes famous via You Tube, and someone who becomes famous because they can sing, or cook, or act, or give advice on any number of things, real or made-up? I'll narrow the Osbourne death watch to Jack. Unfortunately, I really think that between the 7 of them (if you don't know, Ozzy has two kids by his first wife), Jack will die first. ![]() |

Quote:
My younger brother was born at approximately 1:22am on January first. Mom went in labor on NYE. My father was kicked out of the delivery room because he kept trying to get Mom to give birth before the ball dropped in Times Square. He wanted that tax deduction. For the rest of my father's life - even long after he and Mom divorced - he'd ask my brother on his birthday "why couldn't you have been born two hours earlier?" One year, my brother replied "how come you didn't have sex with Mom two hours earlier?" Without missing a beat, he replied "I wasn't drunk enough yet"

I was going to do a "Theme" list this year but my first two celebs were just too compelling. I think Nassar will be killed in prison and Weinstein will take his own life rather than go to prison. I went down the road of tracing some of the 1960's TV stars from my favorite shows so you will see a few of them. I also owe it to some of my remaining picks from previous years just out of respect. I believe this may be the last trip around the sun for Bob Newhart but it will bring me great pain to see him go.
1. Larry Nassar Gymnast Sex abuse 2. Harvey Weinstein 3. Tina Louise - Ginger 4. Dawn Wells - Mary Anne 5. Dwayne Hickman – Dobie Gillis 6. Pat Priest – Marilyn Munster 2 7. Max Baer Jr. - Jethro (Jethrine) 8. Olivia Newton John 9. Henry Kissinger 10. Barbara Walters 11. Bill Cosby 12. Bob Newhart - Dr. Robert Hartley, Professor Proton 13. Jimmy Carter Alternates 14. Barbara Eden - Jeannie 15. Julie Newmar – TV Catwoman 1966 clean list Larry Nassar Harvey Weinstein Tina Louise Dawn Wells Dwayne Hickman Pat Priest Max Baer Jr. Olivia Newton John Henry Kissinger Barbara Walters Bill Cosby Bob Newhart Jimmy Carter Alternates Barbara Eden Julie Newmar

Baker, I posted my "clean list" using people's legal names. Would you rather I listed people like Leah Bracknell, Jose Jose, and The Amazing Johnathan by their more familiar stage names? (Or in Comrade Duch's case, his criminal alias.)

In the introduction I say that the name a celeb is most commonly known by is best. But "The Rock" and Dwayne Johnson are equally acceptable. If you use either name of the celeb, and I don't give you credit because they are reported dead under the other name, be prepared to let me know about it.
For example, who is Jorge Bergoglio? Best to call him Pope Francis. I've seen The Amazing Johnathon in this game reported as that, but also by his legal name, so I'll know to watch out for that one, but I can use all the help I can get. Maybe in your commentary you can tell about it, and then post the name you choose, so I'll know they are the same person. |

I was wondering why so many were picking Olivia Newton-John lately...and then I saw the cover of this week's National Enquirer.
Great pick.
