Welcome friends, to a slightly belated Celebrity Dead Pool 2010.
Despite the late start to the year (can I claim that I’m still using the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian?) we’re cranked up and ready to go, with 16 entrants and 116 unique celebrity names to watch.
The tips run the gamut from the very young to the very old, so it’ll be a terrific race and it’s anyone’s game and any number of other sporting clichés you can think of.
Anyway, here’s everyone’s tips. Good luck!

Welcome friends, to a slightly belated Celebrity Dead Pool 2010.
I just hope Rob's first choice is correct. A few less Amy Winhouse's than I thought. Like fish in a barrel really. Though, mind you, the same could have been said about Kieth Richards for the last 30 years. The man is unstoppable (words that may come to haunt me given the nature of what we're talking about) - he may actually be dead. Or to be more accurate undead. Just look at him! The gaunt, emotionless face. The monosyllabic utterances. His insatiable need for human brains. It's all there people.....
ReplyDeleteNow now, Dave. The deadpool is not about HOPE. That way lies madness... (except, of course, that I hope that enough of mine die so that I may win).
ReplyDeleteNo, this comp is all about tactics. For example, in 2008 we lost Estelle Getty. In 2009 it was Bea Arthur. Someone is picking the golden girls off one by one (and it seems Trevor had the same thought). I went for Betty White over Rue McClanahan cos it was easier to spell without looking it up. What's the bet I picked the wrong one?
Now I'm wishing I'd covered my bases and put them both in.
Hi Dave ... yes, Amy Winehouse seems to have cleaned up her act to the point that she's no longer a contender (bizarre outbursts at children's pantomime performances notwithstanding). And personally, I think Keef will outlive us all.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting thought about the Golden Girls, Rob. Unfortunately you may indeed have mis-chosen, given that Rue McClanahan had a minor stroke a couple of days ago.
Balls.
ReplyDeletehaha I see The Hoff is only on two lists. I guess even though he is a hardcore boozer, he still looks pretty damn virile!
ReplyDeletealthough I did hear he passed out earlier this year because he pumped too much blood into his third leg ;)
and have you seen his commercial for a vacuum penis pump?

it’s a bit of fun ;)
There's Meatloafs commercial on it too, in a film I made
Thom Yorke?!?! what the hell? Is this a personal wishlist? or are you all betting who actually will?
