Damn, you’re cute!
At this point, I think I’m just posting this to be masochistic:
ZZG is back in the hospital AGAIN, this time for pneumonia. While normally I would start tallying my points (had I actually picked her…) for someone of her age with that, we’ve been down that road before…
Why, did someone Hex you?
A bold move by Zsa Zsa in her ongoing game of chicken with the Reaper.
I gotta think the Reaper is scared of her.
It’s more complex than that. She sold her soul to the devil in order to ensure she would get into heaven. She’s in a metaphysical cul-de-sac. Neither side can afford to claim her.
Oh, Jeez, she’s gonna end up being a third, independent soul repository – heaven, hell, and Zsa Zsa. That will be the resting place for washed up stars with predatory spouses.
This would be fantastic for the colloquialisms alone. “It’s like I died and went to Zsa Zsa!”
Okay, Heaven is lots of clouds, Hell is lots of flames, and Zsa Zsa is lots of pink and white and platinum.
…with a bunch of severed limbs lying around.
And now it’s time for the embarrassing confession.
I read the post above about Jackie Cooper’s death and my first reaction was surprise because I thought he had died years ago. So I did some checking on Wikipedia and IMDB. And here’s the embarrassing confession.
I thought Jackie Cooper and Jackie Coogan were the same person.
Stop laughing dammit. The names are similar. They were about the same age. They were both child actors who had minor adult careers.
So I was thinking there was a kid named Jackie, who did some Charlie Chaplin movies, appeared in the Our Gang shorts, had his family spend all his money, had his dog shot, and then grew up to play Uncle Fester in the sixties and Perry White in the seventies.
Before dying in 1984 and 2011.
Snicker.
Ahem.
Sorry.
If you look at his IMDB credits, Cooper worked pretty much non-stop from 1929-1990, and directed dozens, maybe hundreds of TV shows. I’d say he had a lot better than a minor adult career.
Dying in 1984 AND 2011 puts him in a category all by himself! 
He was working steadily but he was not a major star. More like a character actor.
So I figure it’s more like not knowing the difference between Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton rather than not knowing the difference between Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.
Arthur Laurents, who wrote the books of Broadway hits West Side Story and Gypsy, has died at the apparent age of 93. Laurents also won two Tony Awards – in 1968 for the book of best musical Hallelujah, Baby, and in 1984 for directing La Cage aux Folles.
Sada Thompson, Ton & Emmy winning star, dead at 83.
Golfer Seve Ballesteros suffers a “Severe Deterioration” according to a press release for his family.
“Severe deterioration” is a euphemism for something that I do not think is good.
It saddens me to hear about Sada Thompson. She always seem to command whatever scene she was in.
Yes, I know she weighed a ton, but did you have to capitalize to make the point?
Explains how she commanded those scenes she was in.
