Would that be Betty Ford, Lena Horne or Britney Spears? They're all on your list.

A gentleman never tells.

No. A gentleman just wishes they'd drop dead so he can score.

The SAG had a nice memoriam of entertainers/actors that died the past year (i think):

That is a nice touch when award shows do that.

I'm still at zero right? Or did I miss something?

It seems they just tacked on Heath Ledger at the end after the fade out -- at first I thought they forgot about him! Apparently they couldn't be bothered adding him in w/ the music

That pisses me off. I kept hearing how they were gonna "honor" Heath at the SAGS. I didn't stay up for the whole thing. I'm glad I didn't stay up later just to see a little thing of him at the end.

I think one of my all-time favorite actors, Daniel Day-Lewis, made up for that error:

Ooops.... mea culpa. I'm sorry, Blibble, you still have your cherry, too.

Darn...

"Margaret Truman Daniel, the only child of former President Harry Truman who was known for her series of crime novels, died on Tuesday in Chicago at age 83, the Truman Library said."

Is that "darn" because you loved her novels and you'll miss her? Or, is it "darn" I didn't have her on my Dead Pool list?

I really didn't realize she was Trumans' daughter until I heard a piece on the radio about it today though on NPR. The announcer went on to say that she evidently tried her hand at singing and some critic or reporter/reviewer did NOT give her a good review. Truman wrote him a letter and told him, "I'd like to meet you some day because I want to break your nose."

Gee Harry Truman...he was President when I was born. I don't remember a thing about him though, honest.

TIS

My money's on the latter.

That incident with Harry Truman got a lot of press. Harry was really miffed. Margaret, I believe, actually sang at Carnegie Hall.

I remember her as a writer though. She wrote a series of whodunnits, the titles of which all started with "Murder at..." and ended with various D.C. locations or landmarks, like the White House, Georgetown or the National Cathedral. I think I read most of them. They weren't masterpieces, but they were interesting and well written.

She's not a celebrity, but "Jethro Bodine's" girlfriend killed herself.

Maybe she thought she was shooting at some food.

(That was in poor taste, I know. I'll slap myself for that one).

The 30-year-old girlfriend of 70-year-old Max Baer, Jethro Bodine of "The Beverly Hillbillies," died Sunday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Lake Tahoe, Calif.

According to a sheriff's spokesman, Baer called 9-1-1 at 1:15 PM last Thursday after discovering Chere Rhodes unconscious in a bedroom, suffering from a gunshot wound. She apparently regained consciousness and told deputies she was trying to kill herself. A handwritten suicide note found at the scene confirmed that, cops said.

Rhodes was flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno where she was placed on life-support. Her condition did not improve and she died Sunday after her family requested she be taken off life-support.

No foul play is suspected.

Granny could have fixed her up with possum belly and hog renderins.

Last I heard, Jethro was operating a resort with a Beverly Hillbilly theme.

I heard something like that too, although it's been several years since I heard that Max Baer wss thinking of making a casino in Vegas with the Hillbilly theme. I assumed it died out.

TIS

I've got dibbs on Artie Lang, Richard Widmark, Gloria Stewart from Titanic, Britney Spears and Sidney Lummett.

For anyone who's a long time viewer of General Hospital the actress who played Laura's sister Amy died.

RIP!

We've got a month under the belt for 2008 and only a measly handful of "kills".

Maybe a Tsunami will hit.

I'm hoping for a 9.0 Los Angeles earthquake to eliminate as much of Hollywood as possible. I have to score at least one point that way.

That would make us ALL winners then.

Not from where I stand. I'm not in Hollywood, but close enough for a 9.0 to affect me.



TIS

We'll all win, I just don't want to get skunked.

Well, maybe just a 5.5. Specifically aimed at all the night spots the young starlets hang out at.

Oh, well only a 5.5!! Bring it on then. I can handle that.

TIS

In case anyone hasn't heard.....

Actor Barry Morse, who played a detective pursuing the wrongly accused Dr. Richard Kimble in 1960s TV series "The Fugitive," has died, his son said Tuesday. He was 89.


Anyone happen to have him?

Nobody had him.

RIP!!
