OMG, Eartha Kitt died.

Interesting fact: She didn't know her own birthday until 10 years ago.

Tragically ironic... one of her best known songs was "Santa Baby".

Paradox and I both noted that as well.

*sigh* Colon cancer takes another victim. My father died from it, my best friend's grandfather did, my m-i-l's boyfriend's just been diagnosed... emot-frown I hate all cancer, but I'm particularly adverse to colon (as well as brain cancer--having a close friend die at the age of 10 from it was brutal.)

Ricardo Montalban is dead.

In his honor, let us join in a suitable mourning cry: KHAAAAAAAAN!

That's so sad.

Not sure how I missed it, but Wendy Richard from Are You Being Served? died three weeks ago. Didn't know she was on EastEnders...probably because I've never watched it.

And, today, Natasha Richardson died in a skiing accident. I didn't know she was Vanessa Redgrave's daughter. I think I knew she was married to Liam Neeson, though.

Dave Arneson died the day before yesterday.

Who? Yeah, that's okay, I didn't recognize his name either. If you play Dungeons & Dragons you're familiar with his work; he and Gary Gygax co-created the game, but everyone remembers Gygax because his name is cooler. Gygax, of course, died a little over a year ago, and now Arneson -- whose original work it was that D&D grew out of -- has joined him. (Though I shouldn't say "joined him," because according to the D&D cosmology I expect they ended up in different afterlifes.) God rest, Dave.

That makes me so sad. I used to love that show when I was growing up.

Dear Universe,

What. The. FUCK? Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in the SAME DAY?

I call shenanigans. Get your broom.

Signed,

Michael Jackson is dead! emot-frown You were the true King of Pop, and I always loved you. Rest well, sir.

Esmenet · Back to Top

emot-frown I still haven't heard much of his music, but I always did like him.

(Now I feel bad for thinking earlier today that BoA pulled off the Smooth Criminal look better. ;_;)

Michael Jackson? Noooo! emot-gonk

But his power lives on in the ring he gave to one special pink-haired girl, right?

NajiMinkin · Back to Top

You know what, I'll bet Janet just locked him away in her tower. Someday, that special girl will free him and his powers of pop.

In all seriousness, though, I wish he could have had some sort of redemption with the public before he went. It feels like most of what people remember him for are the controversies.

Holy crap, Michael Jackson emot-gonk Rest in peace, Mike. You were always one of my favorites. You shall be missed. *tear* T.T

Oh wow... people at the lab were talking about it. I was hoping that it was just some kind of Paparrazi hype. I didn't expect Mike to actually pull an Elvis.

Elvis died ~50 years old, too, right?

NajiMinkin · Back to Top

Did he? That'd be both the King of Rock and the Prince of Pop. Conspiracy?

Edit: Actually, no. Elvis died at age 42, I guess.

But, hey, both died from some kind of cardiac arrest.

I suppose someone wrote their name down?

And now Billy Mays is dead. (You know, the OxiClean guy that yells at us through the TV.)

I liked that guy too. emot-frown

Poor Billy Mays! I liked his quirky commercials.
