Celebrity Death Pool!

[jjreason]

God lifted him up where he belonged.

I've already said it several times today: there were very few people who could top the Beatles at their own song.

Taylor Negron, best known as Milo in The Last Boyscout died of cancer yesterday.

Does Radio Shack count as a celebrity?

[jjreason]

Only if Canadian Target does.

Only if Canadian Target does.

Nah, Target Canada hasn't been around long enough to be a celebrity.

Steve Strange of 80's New Wave 'band' Visage died today of a coronary. The BBC keep referring to him as a pop star but he wasn't. he had a couple of tracks that charted but he was a nightclub promoter/manager and scene creator. His influence pretty much created the new wave scene and gave birth to mainstream pop music of the 80's and beyond. He was though, an absolute backstabbing duplicitous cunt. He hated Boy George and the new romantics with a passion and was motivated by a desire for prestige and money rather any noble urge to change the world. Hideous cynical and bitter man he was. The world is better for his passing. I hope Malcolm McLaren, Vivien Westwood and John Lydon join him soon. Oxygen thieves the lot of them.

[jjreason]

Reading the wikipedia entry for him now, as the name was unknown to me.

[anarky]

What'd he say his name was?

Galvatron.

It looks like we all expected the great Leonard Nimoy to live forever.

[vynsane]

At least we still have Zachary Quinto. One Spock is better than none.

[jjreason]

Leondard Nimoy will live forever through Spock. He had a good run - 83 is no joke.

[Diabolical]

Damn. I was really hoping for the return of "In Search Of. "

Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series, passed away age 66 from Alzheimer's.

[Jargo]

I read an article where he said he was passing his torch on to his daughter Rhianna. I really hope she doesn't do what Frank Herbert's son did and trash the work of her father by writing new Discworld books. There's one more book coming out that he completed last year and they should let it go at that.
I just watched a recent interview with Terry and he didn't really show signs of dementia. Just regular old age stuff like impatience and reluctance to be drawn on certain subjects that have been talked into the ground. Typical 66 year old behaviour. I hope it really was death by natural causes and he didn't end up taking his life as he'd planned.
