FRAK! This one actually surprises me more than Jackson. I figured the world's greatest pitchman would outlive all of us. Even if the stuff he sold was crap on a stick.
That's FIVE celebrity deaths in very short order. At first I thought the "rule of three" had been violated, but no -- it is now clear that we are in the midst of a SECOND cycle:
Carradine-McMahon-Fawcett
Jackson-Mays-?
Who's next? WHO'S NEXT?

I vote for....wait...is this some kind of trick into revealing any particular major/minor celebs I want to see dead?
I mean, I'm not specifically opposed to revealing this information...but I'd rather it be more open...
Sorry, in a bit of a sour mood today,
Michael

Nah, if I was asking for what celebs people wanted dead, I would just ask straight up, and then Jesse Baker would fill it up with ten pages of comics professionals and every critic who didn't like "The Shield." I was mostly just in a gallows-humor mood myself  . Pogue |

I'm calling it right now:
Hulk Hogan.
Billy was the red herring.
Everybody else was an icon from the '70s or '80s.
Heart attack due to prolonged steroid abuse?
Suicide over family troubles?
Either way, the Hulkster is in a bad way right now.

The Rule of Three People Dying is, how can I say it kindly, an annoying thing people talk about that I wish would go away.
There's what, 6 and a half billion human beings on earth? Any day of the week you can see 50,000 humans dying. Surely some of those will be famous, you know?
Still. Jackson dying WAS a shock for me. I had hoped he would die sooner, being that he was a pederast (allegedly *cough*.)

Either way, the Hulkster is in a bad way right now. Hogan won't die yet. Hulk Hogan is one of those guys who seems to be able to land on his feet no matter what shit is going on or what shit he's brought down upon himself due to his actions of douchebaggery or narcisism. He'll find some way out of this nightmare he's currently in and will end up moderately back on top if only because he's Hulk Hogan and has crawled out of worse messes of his own making before. |

www.celebritydeathbeeper.com kind-of exists to prove that celebrities are dropping like flies. Considering how US-centric they are, that means they beep about a lot of celebrities I have never heard of, and miss/ignore a lot of those outside the US.
