Jiroemon Kimura, the oldest man in human history (at least of verifiable age) has died. No points as he was 116 years old.
Journalist Michael Hastings, killed in a car crash at 33. Don’t know if he’s well-known enough to be considered a celebrity, but it’s been a quiet few days for celeb deaths, so what the hey.
News Flash! Slim Whitman still alive! At least until recently. Now he’s dead at 90. Who knew?
I saw Slim Whitman in concert! about 30 yrs ago.
Did he really more popular than Elvis in England? as the commercials claim?
RIP Slim.
RoOoOOoOOOOose Marie
Any sign of conspiracy theories? He’s the guy who “outed” Gen. McCrystal for disparraging comments about Afghan war policy from the Obama administration?
That is really shitty conspiracy. “To stop you from publishing we will kill you 3 years after your article is published and no one remembers it or cares about it anymore.”
Former NY Football Giants punter, Dave Jennings has passed away at 61
Shit.:mad:
I’m a big Giants fan and he was one of the good guys. I thought he did a good job on the radio too.

Confirmed by CNN.
Aw, geez, he’s got an eight month old daughter. 51 is too young.
Jimmy Hoffa’s not in Michigan, he’s gptta be at Giants Stadium, to complete the New Jersey trifecta for today.
God fuckin’ damn it, apparently the secret to a long and healthy life is to be in my death pool.
And on a serious note, if that’s permitted here, Gandolfini was too damn young. 
The reports are saying they think it was a heart attack. And yes, too damn young. He was only a year older than me.
I guess the Sopranos reunion movie is now scrapped. 
too soon? :eek: 
Not at all, at least AFAIAC.
Of course, when John Lennon was shot, the very first thought through my head when I heard the news was basically “so much for all the talk of the Beatles ever getting back together.” So I may not be exactly representative…
Make room for me in that handbasket. Second thing I thought (after “WHAAAAAAA?!”) was “So now there’ll never be a Sopranos movie.”
I know it sounds cold, but when you get down to it, an actor is a product. A lot of actors would do well to remember that.
Renowned Australian painter and resident of Tuscany Jeffrey Smart will paint no more.
