Title: Who's NEXT...
Post by: Henry Hawk on June 05, 2009, 11:32:33 AM
This may be sick or morbid, but with some recent deaths of some celebrities, ie. David Carradine and Koko Taylor....any guess, who MIGHT, unfortunatly, may be the next celebrity to push up daisies?

I'm guessing..........Patrick Swayse or Hugh Hefner.

I'd say it's a tossup twixt Farrah and Patrick Swayze.

Here's my short list of candidates:
(In no particular order, and I eliminated Farrah and Patrick - too obvious)

H Ross Perot (79 and has more money than Jeebus)

Shatner or Nimoy (Born within 4 days of each other, Shatner has the inside track due to his dramatic nature)

Jim "Gomer" Nabors (The guy has looked sick for years)

David McCallum (Currently playing with dead people he looks like he wants to be one)

Wilford Brimley ( He's a diabetic and going on 75)

John Madden (He ain't foolin me, the guy must be sick to quit or slow down)

Buddy Guy (The blues ain't fer sissies)

Dick "Shotgun"  Cheney

Don't know. Not my pool. Guess you'll have to ask the hawk!  :biggrin:

Too late - Even the hawk droppings won't faze the media blitz over Jacko's becoming a ghost. . . Sorry folks, but nobody called that one. . . That's the trilogy. . . in one week. . .  :spooked:

My guess is poor Patrick Swayze will not be long on this Earth.

Yeah. . . But he better wait about three weeks until the circus leaves town before he does it. Or he'll die almost unnoticed. . .

The media and music industries are going to blitz us with Jacko-mania for at least that long. . . It won't surprise me if they televise his funeral. . .  :rolleyes:

But there have been lots of media specials on Farrah in the last month or so.  She got her spotlight.  Her death was expected.  Even if Michael Jackson hadn't died today, I don't think her death would be newsworthy to the point where all news media stops and remembers.

They were. . . until Jacko checked out. CNN had her plastered all over the front page and had only just started posting secondary stories including her career. . . Then poof! 3rd or fourth story down and Jacko taking half the page, and his bio's and career are already on there too. . .

Of course, given his notoriety they probably had that stuff already handy anyway. . .

But wait. . . DB will have a run at the cameras yet. . . watch. . .

I told my girls, they were scrambling pretty quickly to get that bio together.  And already...an hour dateline tonight on NBC.
