The Celebrity Death Pool 2008

I’d say Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes is a definite possibility. She died in 2002 aged 30, and someone had picked her. Off the top of my head, I can’t recall anyone younger.

With a Winehouse, two Olsens, a Spears and a Hilton running around, I see a new record being set soon. Suicide, OD, car wreck, they’re all good.

Lohan could slip up an join in in this death palooza extravagana.

I would just like to see just one of my peeps die.
Is that asking too much?

It may have been Paul Hunter. He was 27 when he died in 2006.

Yeah, I thought about her, but she seems to be keeping her head down lately.

Oh, you mean, in…ah, er…nevermind.

Don S. Davis, a character actor who often played military roles, notably in Stargate SG-1, Twin Peaks, and The X-Files, died June 29th.

Larry Harmon, longtime Bozo the Clown, has died.

If anyone has Coulrophobia, do NOT click on that link or you’ll soil yourself.

I don’t, but it’s pretty striking.

RIP, Bozo.

Tim Johnson uninjured when car strikes deer.

Except, one presumes, the deer.

Now you tell me.

Can’t sleep…clown’ll eat me
Can’t sleep…clown’ll eat me
Can’t sleep…clown’ll eat me

Former Senator Jesse Helms (R-N. Carolina), dead at 86.

Damn you’re fast.

Thank you! I’ve been wanting these points for YEARS!

at last, a valid death over which to say “YIPPEE!!”

He was on my list for years.

Until my 2008 entry.

That S.O.B. just wouldn’t die.

There were five dearly departed in June, as we reach the mid point of the season.

27 celebrities have died, representing just 3.35% of those nominated and 3.7% of the votes.

We’re way overdue for some spectacularly tragic celebrity death. Couldn’t some nice young famous person (on my list, but no one else’s) just slip on a banana peel and fall into a vat of heroin or something?

You mean like Ruslana Korshunova?

That would’ve been great, had I had her on my list!

Oh, well, Amy Winehouse still seems to be tilting that way, at least.
