I have been watching some old movies the last few weeks, so it brought to mind a lot of older actors I hadn't thought of in years. And a few other older personalities.

Oh god what does it say about me that it made me LOL when I read that? Probably because it's so unexpected.

Twitchy, again, its a prediction, not a wish list.

**OrangeSlice** · January 29th, 2011, 09:25 PM

Maybe Twitchy's trying to tell us something. Planning a trip to L.A. soon?

**twitchy2.0** · January 29th, 2011, 09:59 PM

Remember when predicting celebs deaths, as in predicting anything; it's the one you least suspected but should've seen coming all along. The ones you expect to go seldom do (people have been waiting for Keith Richards to kick off since the 70's, but he outlived John Denver), as a watched pot never boils.

Since no one's called Oprah I'm gonna pick her - with years of obesity, yo yo dieting, and esteem issues; she's overdue for something (like a date with that big cheeseburger in the sky). Since addictions seldom occur in isolation - if your addicted to something you'll probably have other addictions, Oprah may have some discreet substance use issues that have been kept under wraps (pills probably). If half of what she's said about herself is true then it would be surprising if she didn't.

Also she's pushing herself extra hard lately too, getting OWN up and running. Also Kirstie Alley, or anyone else on the National Enquirer's tabloid death list.

Strangely, though Oprah is morbidly obese, no one is staging an intervention to get her into 'food rehab'. That might be due to the fact that Oprah knows how to (bullshit) handle people: get celebs to perform on demand for them, give them free cars, and tell them that they have super powers in the form of 'untapped potential'. Think of her as Santa Claus in drag. America has been waiting for her for a very long time. What will they do without her?

call it "They'll miss me when I'm gone"

Remember also that celeb deaths do come in threes. This is partially due to the fact that when one goes others have to follow, since a celeb can't bear anyone else to get that kind of attention, even if it means being the stiff at their own funeral.

That kind of attention" means "talked about to the exclusion of everything else". It's every celebs secret wet dream - and it makes them feel insignificant when some one else gets it - so Angelina Jolie is probably not only on the launch pad, but her count down may have started. You can only pull that adoption stunt so many times. If she kicks off she'll go down bigger than Marylin Munroe! Especially if she can pull it off in a mysterious and controversial way! Let's put it this way - if she books a flight to Egypt and throws herself under a tank in the name of whatever, then she'll have it made in the shade.

If Angie goes, a couple of others will be obliged to follow, like Madonna or any one else who adopted on the heels of Jolie. Madge has been withering away ever since Lady Gaga beat her at her own game, so she could use an excuse. Death is practically the only major career move she has left, like Michael Jackson; since even fucking a guy named "Jesus" isn't enough to keep her relevant these days. Plus she has that history of abusing her body by pushing herself to extremes. So she probably has developed a few health issues by now.

Good point. Heath did look like hell, though. Honestly, when I saw the headline on here that he was dead, I was far from surprised about it.

That considered, I'm adding any twenty something-early thirties actor with a drug problem to the list.

It's mostly due to cognitive bias and superstition.
