Celebrity Death Pool 2007
 

Since there's already been a list by the lovely Sundae Girl for 2007, I guess we better start a dedicated thread.

Quite right too - blame Christmas over-indulgence on me not having the sense to think of it myself!

Fidel Castro
Margaret Thatcher
Nicole Ritchie
Patrick Moore
Norman Wisdom
Mickey Rooney
Frank Carson
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Gaddafi
Islom Karimov

The celebs let me down last year, so I've featured politicians more heavily this year. I feel I can at least count on Castro (and how often do you get to say that?)

Here we go, threw a couple of wild cards in there for good measure.

Margaret Thatcher
Dick Cheney
George H Bush
Ronnie Biggs
Kirk Douglas
Holly Johnson
Pete Doherty
Nelson Mandela
Fidel Castro
Kirk Kerkorian

sticking my neck out (literally)....


Prince Phillip

Oooooh. Everybody's favourite fascist grandad.

Saddam Hussein! Or is that a gimme?

Death penalty deaths don't count. Milton Friedman died last year so I think I won, but we'll have to figure it out.

Let me see who I choose this year...

Abe Vigoda
Michael J. Fox
Billy Graham
Charlton Heston
Muhammad Ali
Mickey Rooney
Peter Falk
Peter O'Toole
Fidel Castro
Andy Griffith

Saddam Hussein is dead today, but he didn't count.

John Madden
Leonard Nimoy
Terrel Owens
Steven Hawking
Muhammed Ali

I'm gonna go with Betty Ford on this one. The spouse usually dies within a year or two of the other, expecially after a long marriage.

I'd put money on Nancy Reagan as well.


Paris Hilton is on my wish list though.

Jerry Springer will be killed by a crazed fan.

Lindsay Lohan will be fatally injured in a car wreck on her way to an AA meeting.

You heard it here first, folks.

1 Mary Kate Olson
2 Charles Barkley
3 Charlton Heston
4 Mel Gibson
5 Ian McKellen
6 Rush Limbaugh
7 Engelbert Humperdink
8 Spike Lee
9 George H W Bush
10 Fidel Castro

Spexx, is that list a prediction or just wishful thinking?

I wouldn't mind Chucky Heston and Rush biting the big one, but the others don't move me one way or the other. It seems that who dies is pretty arbitrary, so I went fairly random, with some emphasis on poor lifestyle choices and poor health. You never know....

(to Easter Hymn) "Saddam Hus-sein is dead to-da-ay, Fa la la la la, la la la la la..."
