It sounds as though we will very shortly be hearing some very very bad news.

If I did this, I would have listed Millvina Dean (last Titanic survivor), but that would have only scored me 3 points

I'm pretty sure failurewarning has 2 people on his list that have died, not sure if they counted though. Jade Goody and Wendy Richards.

Nothing confirmed yet on Jackson, but wow, what an odd occurrence of the old "death always comes in threes" rule if this is true!

EDIT - Confirmed.

There are currently 244 people goodnight sweet king of pop.

This topic will also be used to post about any notable recent deaths, whether they made any Lists or not. That should help to keep the topic bumped enough that we'll remember to update the score sheets.

It's a shame that MJ kicked the bucket.... Michael Jackson is kind of the biggest celebrity ever.

I just realized I got my 3 first points. Screen legend and Academy Award winner Karl Malden has passed away in an age of 97 years old For most people, he was simply known as "the man with the big nose".

Please ***** off and die.

In other news, filmmaker/writer John Hughes died yesterday from a heart attack at age 59.

He was associated with many great 80s/90s movies that really defined the era.

The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Home Alone
Vacation/Christmas Vacation
Weird Science

.. just to name a few. He will be missed!

And now Ted Kennedy joins her!

I'm convinced Shep is assassinating the people on his list and I guarantee I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

I think you guys are missing that FW has 4 people on his list too, the same as sheps!

FW is doing great but Shep actually has 5 down and the only single death that can put FW ahead is Chris Todd. Not bloody likely!

RIP Patrick Swayze. You were great as a pedophile in Donnie Darko among other things.

I'm at 0, which incidentally is still in the top 100%.

nothin' boosts me more, or suits me beautifully
there's nothin' you can do to me; stab me, shoot me

Susan Atkins was on my list also. Well played Shep.

that's sad to hear, really, even if it gives me some points I saw a film the other day that featured him (The Unforgiven, 1960) OK western but his performance was outstanding and the one and only thing I will remember from the film 10 years from now or so. However, Joseph Wiseman will always be remembered as the first (and one of the best) Bond villains ever, Dr. No. RIP
