WTF!? OMG!! What's going on? The world's gone insane! I mean, we all knew Farrah's days were numbered and who knows what David Carradine was getting up (or off) to, but now Michael, Ed McMahon and even Billy Mays! It's like someone's sneaking 'round the country, blowing poison darts into the asses of random celebrities. Watch out Sanjaya and Andy Dick...maybe if you stand close to Betty White, it'll increase your odds...

You can't take a blow to the head lightly. I bet this had alot to do with his death.

I think the first thing they will look for in the post mortum is a subdural hematoma.

What's on the go?
I kinda liked this guy, he reminded me of Al from Home Improvement.

Right now I'm just waiting for the Sham-Wow guy to go.

Well he was arrested for beating up a hooker a few months ago.

The first three public figures that my young son has learned about and loved all on his own are Barack Obama, Billy Mays, and Jack Black, in that order. Man he's gonna be crushed. My insensitive husband says Vince Offer (the shamwow guy) wins by default.

Amusing that on that last link to the shamwow guy being arrested, you see some person trying to hit up on him by giving away their phone number, lol. ^^;

I guess i should be thankful to be in a province where i don't get to see /hear about him. ^^
