We lose Heath Ledger but Britney Spears is still running loose? Come on, universe, cut us a break here.
No. (A quick way to check is to use the “search this thread” feature to search on the celebrity’s last name.)
No. Nor Edward Hoch.
I think it’s a sign I’m a jaded bastard when my first thought is “good thing primary filming is done on The Dark Knight.”
And my second thought is “and Heath Ledger has such heavy makeup that a stand-in is reasonable for any post production filming.”
Fred Thompson drops out of the Republican primary.
Maybe he’s sick! 
Britney could be the Keith Richards of our generation. With less talent.
I’m not certain she’s running around. She might be strapped down.
This is where I go for all things dead so I thought I’d ask you guys about this. Yesterday there was a headline on the front page of AOL stating that Richard Kline died (best known probably as Larry from Three’s Company but he has done a ton of other stuff). It was up for a little bit then disappeared. I have not seen anything else about it. Nothing I can find is reporting the death. I know I didn’t hallucinate, my wife saw it too. So, did anyone else see it? Was it a screwup that they covered well enough that I was the only one to see it? Is he in fact dead or in some state of undead?
He was looking pretty good on Thursday. I can’t find anything to suggest he’s dead. WAG: Someone screwed up at AOL. Shocking, I know, but there had to be a first time.
Lois Nettleton has died.
Slim Whitman hasn’t.
And racing in from the rear (no pun intended), it’s Heath by a nose!
FYI, the person who discovered his body called Mary Kate Olson, twice, before calling 911. If only she called Ashley, Heath might still be alive. :smack:
FWIW, I heard on a news report this morning that the woman knew that one of Mary Kate’s bodyguards is a certified EMT, and was trying to reach him.
Not a chance. He was cold when he was found, and the 2 calls would not have mattered. I’ve done CPR on a cold one myself, so I speak from experience.
I’d give that title to Whitney Houston. She does have talent.
Good call. Amy Winehouse might be in the Keith Richards Living Zombie catagory one day.
But, it is too early to call.
John Stewart died. (No not the one from the Daily Show who may be hosting the Oscars and who spells his name Jon.)
This John Stewart was a member (but not an original member) of the Kingston Trio way back in the 1960’s. He then started a solo career probably best known for his album “California Bloodlines”. Perhaps his biggest solo hit was 1979’s “Gold”. (There’s people out there turning music into gold) Remember?
News reports said he dropped out because of the stress and he was tired all the time.
This was later confirmed by a flight attendant on his last flight. Thompson was told, “I’m sorry Mr Thompson but you’re going to have to check those bags under your eyes. We don’t seem to have enough room for them in the overhead bin or under your seat.”
I’m not Fred Thompson and I didn’t pay for this ad. Now back to the Celebrity Death Pool 2008.
Off topic, but Brittany Spears and Whitney Houston could go out together if the Univ. of Colorado Women’s Basketball team got in a plane crash (or a dorm room incident since they are roommates.)
wolf_meister: John Stewart’s death was reported in a Wile E post of January 20. Gold appeared on the memorably-titled album Bombs Away Dream Babies, which was followed by the less-inspired Dream Babies Go Hollywood.
