That one depresses me. I don’t follow wrestling much anymore, but I loved his antics growing up.

Depresses me too.
He was on next years list.
Has anyone rolled over their entire list, unchanged, more than once?
I went 0’fer last year and considered doing that. I did change a couple just to freshen the list a bit. Considering how I’m doing this year, I should have tossed the whole list.
Michelle Rounds, ex-wife of Rosie O’Donnell, was found dead in a probable suicide. She was 46.
I did that for three years in a row. Then my picks started to die off one per year. I figure I’m on a roll now and just add a new name each year. 
At least a few each year have remarkable recovery stories so they get bumped.
Swampbear has suggested that we start an insurance company, and I endorse his plan.
Yea, but will you actually invest? You are doing so well this year!
Phungi, your standings are not readable, unless I am missing something (using a Chrome based browser).
zadscmc, see the blue bar closest to the bottom of the page? At the left end of it, there’s a drop-down menu. Choose ‘Straight Dope v.3.7.3’. That should clear it up.
Jake LaMotta, The Raging Bull, dead at 96.
Robert Grays, a sophomore cornerback for Midwestern State, has died from injuries sustained making a tackle in Saturday’s game. He was 19.
He’s the 2nd college football player to die this week. College of Wooster offensive lineman Clayton Geib, 21, died Sunday, a day after the school said he was “complaining that he was not feeling well” following the Fighting Scots’ 38-20 victory over Ohio Wesleyan in Wooster, Ohio.
4 Points for both Critter42 and Andrew21, and first points of the year for Critter42…

While sad, tragic, and worthy of its own discussion (on many levels), such a D2 athlete would likely not qualify as a “celebrity”.
Make that 5 points for Critter42 and Andrew 12 (LaMotta died at 95):
