Can someone explain to this cave-dweller why there’s a number of nominations for Andy Dick? I’ve been on a Newsradio binge lately, and I’d hate to hear that Matthew is actually a heinous crack fiend in real life.

174

He’s, well…he’s a party animal, at the very least. I think he was with that kid from Suddenly Susan in the last hours before the kid killed himself. Which has nothing to do with anything, but he seems to have that sort of John Belushi, “It’s only a matter of time” stamp on him. Supposedly, according to some Entertainment Tonight-type profile on him from a couple years ago, he’s bisexual and lives in a house with both his wife and his girlfriend and their kids. Which also has nothing to do with anything, but contributes to the image of his burning the candle at both ends.

176

Juniper200, you get three more picks. Shirley, I’ll make the change.

Ticka ticka ticka…

177

I’ve been waiting to submit, but will gladly play. I don’t wish death on these people, but I’ve picked almost only younger contenders, in hope of scoring points:

  1. Matthew Perry (friend and rumoured to be mixing alcohol and harder drugs)
  2. Michael Jackson (entity)
  3. Bobby Gillespie (singer in Rockband Primal Scream, drug user)
  4. David Gahan (Depeche Mode. Failed ad suicide. Has been in rehab, supposedly clean)
  5. Robert Downey Jr. (Former Chaplin interpreter, later Ally Mc Beal love interest, which may or may not explain substance abuse)
  6. Peter Jackson (Severly overweight tolkien director)
  7. Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider with self-destructive personality)
  8. James Gandolfini (Overweight Soprano)
  9. Charlie Sheen (Life in the fast lane)
  10. Macauley Culkin (former unbearable brat)
  11. George Michael (Will join Queen on tour. Can only end one way)
  12. Marshal Mathers III (8 mile or not. Something bad is bound to happen to M&M)
  13. Calvin Broadus (Snoop Dog is the same age as Eminem. He might push the envelope too far)
