Celebrity Death Pool 2009

[Lindsey]

Well folks, its almost 2009 and you know what that means! A new year, full of exciting and unpredictable events! Anything can happen, and thats where we step in. Take a look at last year's 2008 Death Pick (http://joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116818&highlight=death+dead)... http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn234/Badabing00/devil.gif

Who do you think is going to bite the big one? It can't be much worse then 2008, eh? My morbid choices:

• Patrick Swayze
• Elizabeth Taylor
• Frances Bay (Google her, she's amazing!)
• Ed McMahon
• Andy Griffith
• Jerry Lewis
• Amy Winehouse
• John Goodman:

I'm a huge fan of John Goodman, but I was shocked when I saw him recently. His weight has to be over 300 pounds, and he's smoking on top of it. Reminds me of John Candy. It's a heart attack waiting to happen. :(

[Jon Lyrik]

John Goodman going would fucking kill me.

I'm leaning on Elizabeth Taylor too.

[bigred760]

I love the optimism on these boards.

I like how everyone picked Spears and Winehouse last year . . . and they're still ticking. Good call from Tagia Romero though.


My picks:

One of the Olsen twins
Eli Wallach
Olivia de Havilland

I hope I'm wrong with two of them.

[athf1980]

Gloria Lechman
Ernest Borgnine
Patrick Swayze

[FLAME_ON]

Kirk Douglas?
http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/whattheflick/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kirk-douglas.jpg
Or as I like to think of him: Mickey Rourke's stand-in.

[dennisv]

This is kinda depressing..

[Lindsey]

This is kinda depressing..

Nobody is dead yet. ;)

[Tweek]

Kirk Douglas is still alive?! :eek:

[JJFlamingo]

Amy Winehouse

Courtney Love

Kevin McCarthy

Olivia DeHaviland

[killuminati003]

I'm gonna have to second Andy Griffith, Goodman and Swayze.

And then of course there is always gonna be one young, up and coming celebrity who will die unexpectedly in his/her prime. I'm guessing...Shia Lebouf (sp?)

And of course, some stupid redneck is going to try to shoot Obama...

[sarah1980]

Kirk Douglas is still alive?! :eek:


yes he just turned 92 :eek:

[SkyNet]

i think i said htis last year... and this would fuckin sadden the hell out of me.. as i LOVE this dude and consider him one of the all time greats of any entertainer, ever...

Don Rickles

but its always the shocking deaths, that come from left field that shock th emost, as in the like 30 page thread we had for Ledger earlier this year!


after reading last years thread... it seems to be a good omen to list an Actor/ Actress in this thread.. as it appears only one person (Tagia) guessed correctly (Guessing Paul Newman)

So keep listing them, and they will LIVE!!

If Goodman dies though.. i will cry, i swear to you, i will

[outsyder]

yes he just turned 92 :eek:

Death is afraid of him.

[Rated R]

Ladies and gentlemen, Abe Vigoda is still alive (http://www.abevigoda.com/ffb.php)

http://www.mortie.net/journal/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/abe-vigoda.jpg

[jaw2929]

Jesus, Goodman looks horrible.... What the fuck's the deal with his hair? It looks terrible in that picture. Plus I don't think I've ever seen him fatter.... I'd guess he's pushing 330-350 lbs from the looks of that pic.

[Leonidas.300]

This is a cheery thread.

Anyways, my money's on:

Kirk Douglas
Walter Kronkite
Patrick Swayze
Karl Malden
Tony Curtis
Ernest Borgnine
Fidel Castro
Britney Spears
Barack Obama
Norman Wisdom
Eli Wallach
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Vera Lynn
Ariel Sharon

[BadCoverVersion]

Zsa Zsa Gabor
Eli Wallach
Margaret Thatcher
Harold Pinter
Aretha Franklin

[screamer581]

Barack Obama



Ugh. That is an awful thought.

[JJFlamingo]

Ugh. That is an awful thought.

No shit. That means fucken BIDEN would take over. Just the thought keeps me awake at night...:eek:

[screamer581]

No shit. That means fucken BIDEN would take over. Just the thought keeps me awake at night...:eek:

Heh. I like crazy ol' Biden.


Regardless if you are an Obama fan, I hope that everyone hopes and or prays Obama is safe during these next 4-8 years.

[Leonidas.300]

Ugh. That is an awful thought.

Terrifying. And not just because Biden will assume power.

BTW all those I listed were of natural causes, except for Spears (O.D) and Obama (assassination).

[Elgyn]

• Frances Bay (Google her, she's amazing!)



Is she the grandma from "Happy Gilmore"? And she was on "Twin Peaks"? If I`m thinking of the right person she`s been in tons of stuff.


As for Obama, I think he`ll be fine. He`s the first African American President. I`m pretty sure him and his people have aleady thought about the fact that he has a high probability for assassination attempts. He`ll have security everywhere.

[Elgyn]

Courtney Love




Dude I`ve been crossing my fingers for YEARS now and she`s still alive.:mad:



No shit. That means fucken BIDEN would take over. Just the thought keeps me awake at night...

Say what you want but I`d feel much more comfortable with Biden in charge than Palin.

[The Mad Butcher]

I don't want to, but...

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/object/event/wireimage/15/680/312_g.jpg

"Surely, Leslie Nielsen won't ever die!" I'm afraid so. And don't call me Shirley.

[Antonio141]

And of course, some stupid redneck is going to try to shoot Obama...

I hope the stupid rednecks save their bullets for the likes of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie!

***Keeping My Fingers Crossed***

[echo_bravo]

For some reason I think Nick Stahl is gonna die.

Has anyone seen him lately?? He looks like he starts off his mornings by putting black tar herion on his toast. He just looks like he is doing all kinds of drugs.

I hope I am dead wrong but I feel he is gonna join his Bully costar (Renfro) six feet under. Again, I hope I am wrong.

[Mr. Creasy]

Natural causes...
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q68/ThaMenace/max.jpg

Accidental overdose of some pill... I dont know...
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q68/ThaMenace/LindsayLohan-intro.jpg

Suicide...
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q68/ThaMenace/amy_winehouse0423081_nc.jpg

[screamer581]

I hope the stupid rednecks save their bullets for the likes of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie!

***Keeping My Fingers Crossed***


Yeah, those three deserve to be shot. Totally.

Brilliant post.

[a7xfan]

Stan Lee- natural causes, i would fucking cry like a baby
amy winehouse- overdose
swayze- ilness
paul gascoigne (footballer)- suicide

[echo_bravo]

I hope the stupid rednecks save their bullets for the likes of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie!

***Keeping My Fingers Crossed***

WHAT???!:confused:

Anyways I want to add Edward Furlong (T2, American History X). I hope I am wrong BUT he looks like complete shit right about now. THe dude looks like he is fuckin around with some real hard shit and it is gonna catch up with him.

[ilovemovies]

Yeah, those three deserve to be shot. Totally.

Brilliant post.

I hope you are being sarcastic (I think you are).

Wishing death on anyone who isn't a murderer/rapist/pedaphile is just terrible.

[Leonidas.300]

Wishing death on anyone who isn't a murderer/rapist/pedaphile is just terrible.

This list of yours, with who should die, you missed one. CEOs or ex-CEOs of banks who have paid themselves crazy bonuses while people's homes get repossessed. Top.Of.The.List. All other scum get an extra five minutes. :D

[hrdude]

I hope the stupid rednecks save their bullets for the likes of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie!

***Keeping My Fingers Crossed***

That's the problem with these threads, it's all fun til someone takes it to seriously.

My vote would be for a long shot, Bill Murray, run over by a golf cart.

BTW: Lindsey, I'm nominating you for Best Schmoe of the Day Picture.

[Potzer! 37]

I was hoping there would be a thread with this list...nice post Linds (and along with everyone else happy birthday).

It's been a horrible year (I still can't really get my mind around a world with no George Carlin in it...) but just looking at who avoided Death's door this year makes me think 2009 is gonna be worse.

My pick? Something totally outta left field's gonna happen...Daktoa Fanning or someone else suitialy young and cute. And it'll be a horrible death too...like a beheading/drug overdose/eaten by snake.

[screamer581]

I hope you are being sarcastic (I think you are).

Wishing death on anyone who isn't a murderer/rapist/pedaphile is just terrible.


I am being sarcastic. Extremely sarcastic.

[killuminati003]

I hope the stupid rednecks save their bullets for the likes of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie!

***Keeping My Fingers Crossed***

Eh, I actually like Brad Pitt. And I see no reason for Angelina Jolie to die...


Some more I'm afraid are going to die- Betty White (86) and Millvina Dean (the last living Titanic survivor.)

[SweetEnLow]

• Frances Bay (Google her, she's amazing!)




I remember her from In The Mouth Of Madness.

She's been in so many movies.

[MidnightAngel]

Michael Bay
Uwe Boll
Paul WS Anderson
Bret Ratner
Tara Reid

[Hotbox]

my bets on Stan Lee (over-exposure to gamma radiation)
runners up gotta be:
Francis Ford Coppola (heart attack)
Val Kilmer (elephantitis of the head)
Nick Nolte (finally)
Nic Cage (Killed by one of his hairstyles)
Haley Joe Osman (found in a cupbord - self-strangulation with a belt while masturbating over a picture of his mother - on a webcam that i'm watching)

p.s.Merry Christmas everyone

[Tweek]

my bets on Stan Lee (over-exposure to gamma radiation)

I'll be sad the day that man dies, but that made me laugh.

p.s.Merry Christmas everyone

Hey, right back at ya.:cool:

[Lindsey]

Is she the grandma from "Happy Gilmore"? And she was on "Twin Peaks"? If I`m thinking of the right person she`s been in tons of stuff.

Yep! She's one of my all time favorite grandmas! Happy Gilmore has been playing on TV all week BTW.

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn234/Badabing00/gilmore.jpg

[countchocula]

Paul Reiser
Heath Ledger's daughter
Jada Pinkett-Smith
Magic Johnson
Tony Danza
Megan Fox
Sinbad
C.C.H. Pounder

[killuminati003]

If we keep naming people, someone will get one right. And that will give us all the chance to go "Ooooh, spooky!"

And everybody loves to do that. So I'll add someone- Jack Nicholson. Because two-thirds of the people to have portrayed The Joker on the big screen are dead, and under unusual circumstances I might add.

Heath Ledger- accidental overdose.
Cesar Romero- old age.

So yep, Nicholson. I'll go ahead and throw in Mark Hamill too.

[g1ng3rsnap9ed]

I don't want to, but...

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/object/event/wireimage/15/680/312_g.jpg

"Surely, Leslie Nielsen won't ever die!" I'm afraid so. And don't call me Shirley.

:( :( :(

Michael Bay


Well, not to be a jerk-but let's cross our fingers.

[Lost in Space]

Stan Lee is immortal, it's a fact.

I see Britney Spears dying

[screamer581]

Paul Reiser
Heath Ledger's daughter
Jada Pinkett-Smith
Magic Johnson
Tony Danza
Megan Fox
Sinbad
C.C.H. Pounder



Heh.

[Drewza89]

Nobody has said Mickey Rooney yet? He's 88 and with his rotund body type he should've passed away a long time ago.

But, of course, I hope none of these people die.

[Mr. Creasy]

Heath Ledger's daughter

WTF...?

[Mopar Fanatic]

my 10 picks

http://i3.tinypic.com/6lad53m.jpg
1. Ralph Baer - Creator of the first home video game system. Older than shit and ready to go anytime now.

http://i16.tinypic.com/8fmih4o.jpg
2. Jimmy Carter - I was tempted to take George Bush Sr., but that was just wishful thinking. Carter is a more likely candidate.

http://i8.tinypic.com/80yuaol.jpg
3. Ali - He's hung on long enough

http://i4.tinypic.com/71hg7zm.jpg
4. Andy Dick - God dammit, how come he hasn't died from an overdose or AIDS yet?

http://i18.tinypic.com/6lmgas4.jpg
5. William H. Gates Sr. - Bill Gate's dad. Another old and shit guy and ready for the BSOD.

http://i7.tinypic.com/86a0sao.jpg
6. Hugh Hefner - People think he's just a senile drooling old man at this point. People forget what a player he really was. Hugh is gonna make sure to kick the bucket before marrying any playmate. Thus denying her the Playboy fortune.

http://i9.tinypic.com/71hbrzt.jpg
7. Clint Howard - Ron Howard's little brother. I mean, why not? Did you know...


http://i5.tinypic.com/6xj1a9h.jpg
8. Walter Mercado - I dunno if you guys know who this Latin Liberace is. Every once in a while, I'll be flipping through the channels and stop on the Mexican stations. During the commercials, this flamboyantly gay astrologer will pop on and tell you to call his 900 number so you can get your horoscopes. I'm pretty sure 08 is going to be the year he's killed by some jilted ex-lover with an albino fetish.

http://i10.tinypic.com/86ir5ub.jpg
9. Imelda Marcos - Former first lady of the Philippines. She had a massive shoe fetish and embezzled millions of the countries funds for personal shopping sprees.

http://i8.tinypic.com/6kehpi0.jpg
10. Devon-This bitch has undergone sooo much plastic surgery and gotten into heavy drug use, that rumor is that she's about to be dropped by Digital Playground. That means depression, sinking into specialized scat/fetish films with some third party studio, and eventual suicide

[ToRontoRon]

That Amy Winehouse. She's one of those girls that just never takes a bad picture.

[Cyclonus]

Does anyone else have this hunch that there will be one more nasty, last-minute surprise thrown in before we ring in the New Year?

[Sonny488]

Gloria Lechman
Ernest Borgnine
Patrick Swayze

Aw naw not Bodhi :(

[SatansPuppet]

Michael Bay
Uwe Boll
Paul WS Anderson
Bret Ratner
Tara Reid

Mr Boll will Kill Anderson and Bay in the Boxing ring.... so obvious that's going to happen... he will then approach Ratner to produce one of his films and reid to star, they'll both be too afraid to say no after the boxing incident so shooting is about to wrap and Reid dies in a stunt involving a vodka bottle and a ping pong ball... Ratner goes into save Reid when the ping pong ball pops due to building pressure, he's shouting for help as he's running to her and the ping pong ball lodges in his throat.....

The Rest is history.... Boll survives until New Years eve when the ghosts of the people he killed this year come back to seek vengeance :D

Pretty Morbid Thread... My vote goes to Winehouse on an overdose.

[Jon Lyrik]

Winehouse has another year to hit the 27 mark.

[Potter82]

This is a rather dark subject but why not

Obvious
Amy Winehouse -> at this point she probably has a host of medical problems, she is the very definition of "unhealthy". I can see her dying from a drug related infection, suicide, or an unique medical condition which is subsequently named after her
Patrick Swayze -> I hate to say this because I feel for the guy but based on my family's experience, I know that Pancreatic Cancer is just about the most deadly of all cancers. I think only 5% of people make it past a year and I think Swayze has already surpassed that time frame so he's basically living on borrowed time...

Less Obvious
Joaquin Phoenix -> have you seen this guy lately?
Stallone -> a random death, heart attack (no particular reason)
Nicole Kidman -> Car accident (no particular reason)
Hal Holbrook -> great actor who has been around forever, he's 83 at the moment and appears quite old, I'd go with death via something old age related, probably in his sleep


& the big one;
John McCain - by natural causes (I'll go with something sudden like a stroke)
-upon learning of his death, the world's temperature will temporarily decline by a few degrees and a great wind will circle the globe after millions of people simultaneously experience the chills and breathe a sigh of relief after they realize what a HUGE bullet they just dodged

[Jon Lyrik]

Winehouse isn't hitting 27 yet, I don't think, is she?

[Rawlin67]

Joaquin Phoenix is gone by the end of this year.
and then Morgan Freeman.
