Nobody had Paul Newman. I'm sad to see him gone.

Has Amy Winehouse survived Saturday?

I'm getting my Mum and Dad to help this year. Mum is great at pointing out people who are going to die. Not in an Angel of Death way, I hasten to mention. Just lucky (?)

Much better than HM. He predicted so many people in the time I lived with him - based mainly on them gaining or losing weight, or simply being a member of his family. Yup, all still alive! Okay, his Dad is ill, and I'm sorry for that, but he predicted his death a good few years ago now (sparking death fears in me about my Dad) And his bro is a healthy young man - due to die of liver failure any day now apparently (although I went to alcohol counselling with a man who drank a bottle of vodka a day and was in his early 60s with no liver damage). He does drink and smoke to much, but it's so horrible to hear him say to virtual strangers that his brother will be dead in five years tops.

Okay, I'm rubbish about predicting too, but at least I don't believe Alan Parker will be dead within 6 months because he's put on weight.

Oh and if you think consulting with my parents is cheating... piss off.

Wow, I missed this.

Scifi's Number One Fan ... he was famous for not being famous.

I would love to have even a small percentage of his collection. Talk about Doodads!

Are they going to shoot his cremains into space or anything?

Eartha Kitt and Harold Pinter slip in before the end of the year.
Not on anyone's list as far as I can see.

How come Zsa Zsa is still alive...?

I liked Eartha Kitt. Her "St. Louis Blues" is my favorite.
