Dead Pool

No, not the Clint Eastwood movie. The actual pool. Of death. He. He.

Who wants to play? Do you know how?

Email me (or put in comments) your top three celebrities that you think will kick the bucket in 2005. Please get creative. When someone dies, I will award points based on how many people have picked that celebrity.

For example, let's say that Cat puts 50 cent on her list. And no one else does. If he gets caught in gang crossfire while volunteering at the local Boys and Girls Club, Cat will get 20 points. If Cat has him on her list and so does CL, they will each get 10 points. Make sense?

I will put together a spreadsheet and email it to everyone so that you are all aware of where everyone stands. And if you go out and kill someone on your list, you get no points, so don't even think about it.

Now, get out there and decide who will die in 2005!

Damn I wanted Keef Richards

G.W.Bush I'm thinking JFK scenario here
Jackie Stallone because I am sure Briggitte Nielsen will strangle her in front of the Cameras on Celebrity Big Brother here in the UK (and she may just go anyway from toxic overload)
Hugh Hefner total shag overload

I notice all these are Americans but I can't think of any British clebrities unless Hugh Grant starts prowling the back alleys of Hollywood once again!

OK, how 'bout Nick Nolte, because he already looks dead. Angela Landsbury, cause she bugs me anyway and Hillary Clinton, because she's a bag and someone will get tired of her.

britney spears (thinking a lady di thing)
chevy chase (that's shawn's pick!)
charlston heston (he's old, right?)

Ooh, ooh! I wanna play! Okay... [drumroll, please]

In no particular order...

1. Jennifer Garner, because she pisses me off
2. Jennifer Lopez, same reason
3. Gwyneth Paltrow, because I may as well continue with the theme of Ben Affleck's chicks (whether he'll be responsible for their untimely demises or not I can't say)

Wow! You guys are creative! I am sooo impressed! I am working on the Master List and will get that out to everyone as soon as I stop getting responses.

Steve - I am a little frightened at the whole "Pope is going down" statement...remember, it doesn't count if you kill them!

Grace - good picks, a little scary that Don Knotts is still alive...

Ian - Who in God's name is Charlie Watts? Am I lame? Maybe I am the only one who doesn't know who he is? Oh gosh, there is nothing worse than sounding stupid on your own Blog!

Peachy - I think I may have to put RP on my list as well...he is not looking good.

Rob - HA! You should get extra points for your reasoning on your picks! Is Hugh Grant the only famous British export? I don't think so!

YB - HA! I think Nick Nolte could be dead! Maybe they just prop him up "Weekend at Bernies" style? It could all be a big hoax!

Cat - Yes, RIP Jerry!! We barely knew you! But no, you get no points for that one. Sorry! It would be very interesting if Britney kicks it!

J - AAAHHH! I hope Tom Jones doesn't die!! I heart him.

Sic - I think your picks could be the best. I thought I was alone in my loath for Jennifer Garner. How many times do I have to tell you people she used to be a man!!

for the record, i loathe jennifer garner. i don't know why my boy finds her so hott. ugh. yuck. i'm with mel on the man thing.

Charlie Watts is the drummer in the Rolling Stones. He has looked dead for years. But then so have the rest of them...

Oooooh...hee *blushing with embarrassment*

In weird news, the drummer from Jefferson Starship died. How's that for co-winky-dink?

Blogger Richard said...

Is there still time for me to join the Death Pool? If so, then my picks are:

1. Chief Justice William Rehnquist
2. Actress Betty White
3. The Reverand Billy Graham

Blogger Rarry said...

Hey this game is cool...

1. Michael Jackson (Might not count since hes already partially decomposed)

2. Martha Stewart (Decorative homemade shiv with dried cranberry and mint leave accents to her kidney)

3. 2-Pac ... for real this time

Richard - that's funny because one of my original choices was Estelle Getty. Let's see if Bea Arthur turns up now...

5:56 PM  
Blogger peachy said...

Rue McClanahan for the win, since we're on a Golden Girls theme. I'm not changing my vote, just wanted to put the name out there for someone who hated...well now I can't think of her name on the show. HELP!!

Blogger MomMega: mothersmilkblog.com said...

HAHA! Blanche! Whoring around! Too funny!

We were discussing the name "Eunice" yesterday at lunch and why anyone would name their kid that. And then the name "Eunice Chantilly" came up...anyone know who that is (I didn't, but my new Useless Goddess Tricia did)...

10:12 AM  
Blogger peachy said...

Ah yes, Blanche. Thanks y'all.
I do know a lady named Eunice. She's old.

All I know is a name like that is carte blanche for piss taking...

for a while, lots of korean moms were naming their girls eunice (or hannah or grace or esther... or some other old fashioned "american" name) ... so i know quite a few eunices.

it's a godawful name.

Hey! Richard Pryor is already dead... uh, isn't he? Wait, I have to go look... oh, wait - he's still alive. I must have been thinking of John Wayne...

5:12 PM  
Blogger peachy said...

V-You can say Richard Pryor, but if we end up splitting points I'll have to come out there and steal your heart peeps just because.. :)

Ian, I often mistake Richard Pryor and John Wayne myself. HA!!HA!! It happens to the best of us.
