Celebrity Death Pool!

[anarky]

Jerry Lee Motherfucking Lewis.

He's no longer the last man standing.

[vynsane]

Can I add Matthew Perry?

Dude has clearly lost his fucking mind.

why? what's going on? i'm not up on this (then why do i care?)

Short version: he's saying a lot of bizarre shit that seems calculated to be edgy and is just dickish. First "Why did Heath Ledger and River Phoenix die and Keanu Reeves didn't?" (When people called him out, he claimed to be a Keanu fan but just picked a name at random, which might be worse.) Then like a day later, he bragged about making out with Valerie Bertinelli when they were drunk at a party and her husband was in another room (as if everyone doesn't love EVH, regardless of how difficult he was rumored to be, and also he's dead and the entire earth is still sad).

I expect to see headlines about him saying he stopped to take a piss once and then realized it wasn't a toilet, but Princess Diana's still-warm corpse. I guess being on fucking Friends messes with your head in ways the rest of us can never understand.

ah, to promote his new book, i'm sure.

Jerry Lee Motherfucking Lewis.

He's no longer the last man standing.

He’s so extra he died twice in one week.

[Ran]

RIP Andrew Duncan - He played Jim Carr, the announcer for the Chiefs in the movie Slapshot.

[jjreason]

Aaron Carter, childhood singer from the NSYNC/Backstreet era. 34.

[Ran]

RIP Peter McNabb. Played for the Sabres, Bruins, Canucks, and Devil, then became the announcer for the Avalanche.

[anarky]

Gallagher.

Overshadowed by Kevin "Vengeance, The Night, Batman!" Conroy.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

[Tom Foolery]

Jason David Frank, the OG Green Power Ranger, 49. By his own hand.

That sucks.

I worked in a grocery store as the 3rd shift cashier when I was younger. This one family would do their shopping in the middle of the night. Their son was 4-5 years old and would get super shy around me. The dad said it was because he thought I was the Green Ranger with my long hair. And he showed me a VHS tape with Tommy on the cover, and I shit you not, we were fucking twins. I would have to find a pic of me from the 90s and post them side by side, but yeah….this sucks.

[Tom Foolery]

Clarence Gilyard, 66.

I know he wasn’t on anyone’s list. But I watch DieHard quite a bit. He played Theo, the computer guy breaking into the vault. Some of his quotes find their way into my everyday conversations like “Boom! Two points.”, “The Quarterback is toast.” and “I told you.”

[anarky]

Christine McVie, 79, undisclosed illness.

God adds another to his Fleetwood Mac collection.

[Ran]

A few weeks ago I watched a Fleetwood Mac concert that I've seen several times. It occurred to me how many of their best songs were hers, but she still seemed underrated.

[Ran]

Bob McGrath from Sesame Street, 90.

For some reason, the passing of celebrities from when I was really young (like Mr. Rogers, the cast of Sesame Street, or sports heroes from the 70s) bother me more than other celebrities.

[Tom Foolery]

This makes me sad. 90 is a solid run, but it’s still too soon.

[Tom Foolery]

Kirstie Alley, 71. Cancer.

[Tom Foolery]

Gary Friedman, 70. Covid.

Apparently he was an Ewok. Don’t know which one.
