She was on "I'm a Celebrity get me outa here" She was vile to watch. I do not know her drug of choice though.  She is a user of humans, you can tell by her reactions to certain things.  She is a survivor if she OD's it will be by mistake. Yes I am a reality show watcher.

I know. I saw him on a Comedy Channel roast back in the fall, and I thought he was looking and sounding a whole lot better.

Conaway had something happen to him, too, if I remember correctly, that caused him to be addicted to Rx pain drugs...though I think he has other addictions too.

She is in rehab right now for "emotional issues".  According to most gossip sites those issues stem from a great love of cocaine.  She is also rumored to get so wasted at parties that she bangs half the guys there.  There have been a ton of thinly veiled blind items about her in the past year.  Girl has some major issues.

oh. I had heard that she had some issues, but that they were weight related. I saw Demi interviewed one time and she said that she was really chubby when she was young and that she never wanted to be like that again. That she watches her food intake and excercises a lot, to make sure that she stays thin.


Her little sister is Eva Longoria's daughter "Juanita" on Desperate Housewives.

I dunno - I think he's nuked more brain cells than he could have safely lost even if he were remotely intelligent, which he's not. He's a burnout in the grand Ozzy Osbourne tradition.

She has been having LOTS of issues, the rehab is only part of it. She's also apparently a cutter, and acting out not unlike Britney before she had her massive meltdown. Add to that her breakup with Joe Jonas (which is what I think sent her over the edge) and her coke habit, and she is headed rapidly downhill.

Been having a lot of people here, that I know, die too.

Another agent I used to work with died this week, from breast cancer and only 58. Sharron was the 4th one in less than a month. 2 from cancer, 1 murdered (she and her husband were murdered in their home by their son  :(  ), one from complications of ill health and age. The two with cancer I worked with at another company, the other two work for my company, the older gentleman in my office.

My son-in-law's grandmother died Wednesday night. We're going to that tonight. I've never met her, as she has had Altzheimer's for several years, and has not recognized my SIL for over 4 years, and though she and my daughter had been together several times at family events, she did not know who J is. So sad...6 greatgrandchildren and never recognized any of them. She was only 77...which really isn't old anymore.

I wasn't aware of the Dead Pool when it was being formed but I am sure most CCers, being sane and rational people, figured Osama was already dead. Until a few days ago it would have never occurred to me to put him on a list as still being alive.

Zsa Zsa Gabor
Fred Phelps
OJ Simpson
Casey Anthony
Jennifer Petkov
Osama bin Laden

Looks I predicted bin Laden's death. Since bin Laden is gone, I wonder who is next to croak? Other people in the Dead Pool are:
Bernard Madoff
Lori Drew

Also picked to be one of the first guys off the landing craft at Anzio.

He and Peter Graves were brothers.  Listen to their voices.

Country Star Glen Campbell Diagnosed with Alzheimer's
Quote
NASHVILLE – Country legend Glen Campbell has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his wife told People magazine Wednesday.

Though the "Rhinestone Cowboy" singer has suffered from minor short-term memory loss for several years, the Alzheimer's diagnosis came about six months ago, wife Kim Campbell said.

The 75-year-old has decided to give a set of farewell live performances this fall and his family wanted to go public with the news of his disease so the public would be aware of his condition.

I immediately thought of this dead pool when I saw the headlines -- I remember some of you picked her.   Good call. 

She was a troubled self-tortured soul.   I hope her parents get some peace now.

Nope, I don't think so. I had/have no clue who that person is/was. It's Sparky's insight, 'cause it sure as hell ain't mine.

This was my entry:

Quote
Major Dick Winters (of Band of Brothers fame)
Mickey Rooney
Billy Graham
Michael Douglas, shortly followed by his father Kirk

Under 40:
Abstain - I don't know a damned thing about this generation of so-called "celebrities"

Sparky chimed in with the Winehouse selection in the next post.

I'll tell you one that I'll take credit for, and that's Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame. He died in the first week of January 2011.
