Celebrity death that bummed you out the most... - Page 59

Oh, and she made the decision to "pull the plug" and yet they weren't even married...had been divorced a couple years!

That whole "I can't deal with blood" thing would certainly go out the window if someone you loved needed you, wouldn't it?

Weird!

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. - Miss Ellie, a small, bug-eyed Chinese Crested Hairless dog whose pimples and lolling tongue helped her win Animal Planet's "World's Ugliest Dog" contest in 2009, has died at age 17 after a career in resort show business in the Smoky Mountains.

The Mountain Press reported Thursday that Ellie starred in shows at the Comedy Barn in Pigeon Forge.

She also appeared on The Animal Planet cable show "Dogs 101" and was on billboards and in a commercial.

Pigeon Forge Mayor Keith Whaley proclaimed Nov. 12 as "Miss Ellie Day" for her owner's efforts to raise money for the local humane society. Over the years, Ellie helped raise more than $100,000 for the Sevier County Humane Society.

She will be cremated.

Jimmy Dean country singer and sausage guy has passed. I remember when Big Bad John was popular on the radio.

As an aside - Does it seem like there are a ton of famous people dying lately?

Yes

I see two factors:

1) Age. The celebrities with whom one is most familiar usually come from the generation above. Their time is come -especially for those who lived in the fast lane.

2) Technology. More TV, more movies, more internet, more media.... more celebrities to die and more coverage of their death.

In some cases, not enough. My dream "celebrity" death headline:

"Cast of "Jersey Shore" die in horrific hottub accident!"

There are too many "Dream Celebrity Deaths" to list. I don't really want them to die, I just want them to go away and shut up.
