Celebrity Death Pool!

Paula Deen's career.

"Ah lahk to slather mah coloreds with buttah. Ah mean collards. Sorry 'bout that, y'all. Ah got confused. We all know them porch monkeys love them there greens."

In no way am I defending racism, but she grew up in the South in the 50s and 60s. So, if they'd asked if she'd ever used racial slurs and she had said 'No' the world would've cracked in half from the biggest *coughBULLSHITcough* ever. I'm gonna give her a few points for at least being truthful about something so obvious.

[anarky]

That's what a lot of folks are focusing on, though. I can forgive the naughty words; that's not a big deal if she admits it. There's some much weirder, pretty fucked-up shit involved. Like how she wanted to host a wedding party with the wait staff all being black and dressed as slaves to capture the "golden era" of the South. And how a restaurant she co-owns with her brother is alleged to have a separate entrance for black employees.

Slim Whitman
James Gandolfini

And the third of this triumvirate is Bobby "Blue" Bland, without any question in my mind the finest voice to ever sing the blues (sorry, Curtis Loew, you were fictitiousional).

[Negative Boy]

Speaking of James Gandolfini, did you see his kid?! Cripes, I was waiting for Lebron James to come in and grab the kid and dribble him down the court. His dad barely made it to 50. That little vat of butter looks like he'll keel over by the time he's twenty. How horrible it must be to be in grammar school and not be able to see your pecker without a mirror.

[Diabolical]

Sounds like Nelson Mandella ain't long for this world.

RIP Matt Osborne a.k.a. the original Doink the Clown from WWF.

[Tom Foolery]

I totally missed that Richard Matheson died on June 23rd. I felt like his passing shouldn't go unmentioned. He did write Jaws 3D after all. And indirectly launched Steven Spielberg's career.

No, but seriously, he did a lot of great work both with his short stories and writing for TV on The Twilight Zone. He'll be missed. I Am Legend has been adapted to film three times, and has yet to be adapted correctly.

[vynsane]

not a fan of Glee, but Cory Monteith found dead at 31 in a hotel in vancouver is a shock.

[jjreason]

It was. Now I have to figure out how the fuck I"m going to keep the wife & kids entertained for that hour on Thursday nights so I can play WoW. Fuck you, Death!!!!!

[Diabolical]

I'm sure the fact that he just got out of rehab a few months ago had absolutely nothing to do with his death. [/sarcasm]

[Tom Foolery]

On the upside, Lea Michele is back on the market. She'll need some "consoling".

[vynsane]

I'm sure the fact that he just got out of rehab a few months ago had absolutely nothing to do with his death. [/sarcasm]

ah, that makes it less of a surprise, then. shows how much i pay attention to any of that shit.

[jjreason]

If this doesn't shriek "console me" I don't know what does.

[Tom Foolery]

Posting images like that is a surefire way to derail this thread.

I don't know which is Giggity-er, the cotton panties or the knee high socks. I'd probably have her leave the socks on.
