Jean-Pierre Léaud

Carol Burnett

Liza Minnelli

Joni Mitchell

Rita Moreno

Patti Lupone

James Earl Jones

Rose McGowan

Soon Yi Previn-Farrow - accidental.

I don't think he's going to die just yet, but I think Joe Biden's dementia will become so evident he will not be able to continue his term of office.

One of the Brady Bunch kids unexpectedly just because of statistics as they’re all over 60. Maybe Greg or Cindy.

Those who are double-boosted and infected with covid. All of them.

Mamie Van Doren.

John Stamos. Booze and pills. Around the anniversary of Bob Saget's death.

Maybe Bob Barker will also make to within weeks of 100 like fellow animal lover (and enemy), Betty White.

I can see Milo OD'ing

Kari Lake will commit suicide when her bullshit lawsuits are dismissed

Ezra Miller by suicide or OD

r40 Why did Betty White and Bob Barker become enemies?

The names I am going to put into the pot include Jimmy Carter, Tina Turner, Linda Evans, Liza Minnelli, Pope Benedict, Eva Marie Saint, Ringo Starr, Phil Donahue and Eric Clapton.

I can see Kanye coming to a bad end.

R42, keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm nervous about Debbie Harry... she'll be 78 this year.

Yoko Ono has to be nearing the light at this point

Barbra Cat Lady Streisand

Kanye is going to OJ the k/Jenner family.

Al Roker

Charlie Rose

One of the Osmond brothers: Alan, Wayne or Merrill

One of the Jackson Five: Jackie, Tito, or Jermaine.

R61 Not Merrill please.

Cate Blanchett - she spends most of her life on airplanes. One is bound to crash sooner or later.

R61, One of the Lennon Sisters, possibly Peggy.

Dave Chappelle. He look sickly, bloated in the face, slurs his words, and has a devil-may-care attitude towards drinking and smoking. I think he’s hiding a terminal illness like Norm MacDonald did.

I'm going big:

Gaga.

In a tragic accident.

2023/2024

Unfortunately, probably Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor

Jane Fonda's cancer is in remission

Judge Judy

R71, Cancer always returns.

Ye thinks he’s the Chosen One, so if he does commit suicide, he’ll probably take someone with him. I agree with R60 that he’ll murder someone but not kill himself, narcissist that he is.

I wonder if Ye would kill someone, but then off himself if law enforcement was zoning in on him.

Kim Kardashian

Kris Jenner

Pete Davidson

I don't think W is going anywhere any time soon. He's got longevity in his genes.

Remember the 'wipe out' of the remaining cast of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 2021 ?

I have a feeling we will have the same for the cast of MASH. Lorretta Swit, Alan Alda, Gary Burgoff, Mike Farrell.

R90 Oh! look over there!

Cindy Birdsong Berry Gordy Bill Cosby Harvey Weinstein

one or more of the oldest living Oscar winners: Lee Grant, Mel Brooks, Eva Marie Saint, Clint Eastwood, Burt Bacharach, Joanne Woodward.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders-death by choking on a sandwich.

Geniunely surprised Dick Cheney is still with us.

R110, Amen to that.

I'm coming for Kissinger and Cheney soon

Harry Belafonte

Chuck Norris

R30 I am curious too (1 other person asked) - Why Trudie? ( Mrs. Sting)

I will add… Roger Daltrey Rod Stewart Ronnie Wood Pete Davidson (not specifically from drugs, but complications from Chrohns) Boy George Britney, sad as it makes me to type that, I just don’t see her making it through another year Linda Evangelista (suicide) De Niro, Pacino & Pesci - a triple header Woody Allen Neil Young

Robert Redford

Madonna’s last shred of relevance

Kim Kardashian’s clitoris sensation

Bruce Willis’ memories of Aaron Carter’s pink rosebud

Andy Cohen’s control over his bowel movements

Although she's old and looks haggard, I have a feeling Joan Collins will live to an advanced old age like Olivia de H.

People keep posting the same names just because they might be over 90 years old. Eva Marie Saint walks to the market 3 times a week, and she's in great shape mentally. She'll be around for at least another five years...

I really hope Kathy Griffin can keep her health. She’s had to deal with a lot - her mom getting dementia and dying, her cancer, losing her voice because half of one lung was removed, the Trump-head incident that basically blacklisted her, the deaths of 2 siblings in the past 10 years, Anderson Cooper’s betrayal…

Soupy Sales - he must be up there.

Actually, R37, he’s six feet under.

Is it soup yet?

I heard a podcast recently about what's been going on with Stuttering John Melendez from the Howard Stern show and he sounds like he's circling the drain. The podcasters recounted how John's latest gig was on Thanksgiving doing stand up at a bar & grill in Ames, Iowa. Not even at a comedy club... a bar & grill. I heard a little of John's own podcast and his voice is shot -- it sounds like the voice of an addict or longtime alcoholic, whose voice is trashed from abuse.

The story continues that John spent Thanksgiving hanging out with the bar owner instead of having a nice celebration with his family. John himself told a story about getting so shitfaced drunk that he ended up in a hospital. John sounds like he could check out soon.

R140, He fathered a couple of kids who would be adults by now.

R136, having cancer isn't exactly what I'd call 'keeping her health'.

Note that this photo of Ted Shackelford was taken SIX YEARS AGO. If he looked like the Cryptkeeper back then, how much longer can does he really have?

I say six months, if that.

Megan thee stallion(hopefully) Jenna Jamieson(suicide) Paul McCartney(old age) Elizabeth Holmes(I think she'd rather die than go to prison) Britney Spears(seems obvious she's next)

^Jenna Jameson oh dear!

R30 here. I picked Trudy Styler because out of sheer randomness.

Sting seemed too predictable and Trudy is nearly 70. It is that age range which seemed to have a lot of unexpected deaths in 2022.

Plus she hasn't been publicly seen or heard from in a while (at least by me) - that is always a bad sign. So she just fit my profile.

Probably someone shocking that no one could predict, like Beyoncé

[R143] From that photo of six years ago, I would've picked out Shackleford as the first to go from those four. Never thought it would be Dobson in 2020.

I remember seeing the cast on some daytime show about the same time, and they surprised Donna Mills with a birthday cake. Shackleford barely knew what they were talking about and seemed incoherent. He looked awful, and Michele Lee had to kind of hold him up when they were standing together. He looked and acted like he was in his 90s. He's one actor I won't be surprised to hear about dying.

I just read that Pelé's health took a turn to the worst and he'll spend Christmas in the hospital. I might win this thing! What's the prize?

If he dies before New Year's Day you don't win - it's still 2022. If he dies on NYD or after, you win !

[quote] Probably someone shocking that no one could predict, like Beyoncé

I think there will be some a private jet crash or a car accident that takes out a celebrity under the age of 50.

R148, I agree. Didn't see that clip though, and had no idea Dobson died a couple years ago.

If you went by how someone looks Keith Richards would be worm food long ago

Rupert Murdoch

Paul Dooley

Uma Thurman becomes a victim of the John Travola leading lady curse.

[R151] Well. the Grim Reaper took out Anne Heche and Leslie Jordan that way in 2022. Not too hard to believe for 2023.

[Quote]Uma Thurman becomes a victim of the John Travola leading lady curse.

what about 77-year-old Karen Lynn Gorney?

Reese Witherspoon

Putin

Kanye West

Artie Lange

Dabney Coleman.

The two remaining title-role stars of the original Broadway production of "Mame," Janis Paige (100) and Jane Morgan (98), and perhaps one of its replacement Gooches, Helen Gallagher (96).

R159, William Devane is in great health. He's doing ads for medicare and seems more coherent than most 40 year olds.

[quote]Mitch McConnell

It's possible. McConnell looked a bit frail at Zelensky's speech to Congress the other night. Although evil doesn't usually die that easily.

Bill Cosby.

Sam Smith.

I was the original Broadway production of "Mame," R162, and Misses Paige and Morgan were not.

They succeeded me in the Broadway production that was original when I was starring in it. The long line of interchangeable '"Mame" or "Dolly" replacements' cannot be considered as anything but "fit for the tourists" stage warmers, alive or dead.

I'm dead and sick of not getting my full dues. Shit. No more Miss Nicey Nice.

Carly Simon. Family members often drop very close together.

Chita and/or Rita.

Anna Netrebko. Death by suicide for singing Lucia and Turandot. Or killing herself when her beloved Putin dies.

Johnny Mathis

Dick Cavett

Robert Kraft, New England Patriots owner.

^ Murdered by an angry Chinese prostitute?

R206, you of all people should know you weren't the FIRST choice -- or not even the 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice -- for the role in the first place!

David Geffen

Abigail Breslin

Ewan McGregor

R215, After seeing the size of his boyfriend’s cock, probably from internal bleeding.

Just curious, why Abigail Breslin, r216?

Andy Dick.

Jessica Alves.

R18 Unlike you Dakota Abigail seems a bit off the rails. She drinks, smokes and has had some terrible things happen to her. That makes her so vulnerable.

[quote][R18] Unlike you Dakota Abigail seems a bit off the rails. She drinks, smokes and has had some terrible things happen to her. That makes her so vulnerable.

Can't argue with that.

Remember a few years ago when Miss George Michaels died? LOL. People acted all surprised when she looked like a blob fish for years. RIP Miss Michaels.

Lindsay Graham murdered by one of his rentboys

R223 wins the "I Wish it Were True" Award

yeah, saw the picture of Pele in hospital bed. doesn't look good.

[quote]yeah, saw the picture of Pele in hospital bed. doesn't look good.

My head is ready for that crown.👑

[R112] You can save yourself a return trip if you grab Trump while you’re picking up Kissinger and Cheney.

Just trying to be helpful.

Sean Penn

Madonna - and it wouldn't surprise me to read those headlines with her behavior these days.

Former Pope Benedict - I'm calling it as the first death on New Year's Day !

(He better not die before then!)

When it’s made public that a famous person is very ill, he or she often dies within 24-72 hours. I think that’ll be the case with Pope Benedict, R230.

Anybody that is posting someone under 70 years old, should be required to add why and/or how

Picking anyone over 70, and especially those in 80s or 90s are easy picks

Robert Wagner Shirley Bassey Barry Humphries David Attenborough

Shirley Jones

Val Kilmer

Ryan O'Neal

Volodymyr Zelensky with any fucking luck.

Mr Bean

r238 do you mean Rowan Atkinson (who is pretty sprightly at 68 or whatever his age is) Mr Bean is a fictional character like Greta Thurnburg

R237 = Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump Jr.

Yes, Rowan Atkins (Mr Bean).

Who will be the first celeb death of 2023?

R242 My pick is Marion Ross

John Fetterman will have a fatal stroke.

Hope this isn't the first.

^ Hopefully his "roommate" is taking care of him

Donald Sutherland

Gena Rowlands

Jeremy Renner

Martina Navratilova

Martina’s cancers are stage one. Hope to have her around for decades to come.

Do you think "snowplow incident" is code for OD'ing from blow?

Tina Turner

Elton John

Joe Biden

Owen Wilson

Lidia Bastianich

Eric Roberts

and Andy Cohen, in a "snowplow incident".

Carly Simon - she looks bad all of a sudden

[Quote]Anybody that is posting someone under 70 years old, should be required to add why and/or how

Because people way under 70 years old are dropping like flies.

Stephen Boss 40

^ He died in 2022, it was already discussed here

[Quote]Anybody that is posting someone under 70 years old, should be required to add why and/or how

I know R257 I was pointing out that many celebrities under the age of 70 have been dropping like flies R255 R256 Age isn't always a predictor{though being in the music industry seems to be a factor}. More recent examples⬇️

"Diamond" from Diamond and Silk

Loretta Swit went radio silent on social media in November. She was pretty active on Twitter and Instagram.

RIP Jeff Beck and Tatjana Patitz

R271 I had absolutely no idea who Diamond and Silk were. My mom, who watches a steady stream of right-wing news programming called me up to ask if I had heard the news. I replied “who in the fuck is that”?

R274, consider yourself lucky. They were so far to the right that even Fox News banned them (for anti-vaxx shit)

The Grim Reaper ain't messing around in 2023. The year just barely began and already so many deaths, young and old.

Renee Taylor.

Dan Aykroyd

Jeff Beck, Tatjana Patitz, and Lisa Marie completes the set

Wendy the Retard and High Pitch Erik.

Britney Spears

We can only hope r292. PRAY Madonna goes too.

Carly Simon

Madonna

Shannon Doherty

Andy Dick

Chevy Chase

I have noticed that the media seem to be hinting *something* about Jack Nicholson with stories about how reclusive he's been.

He's already dead R295.

No, not already dead, that would be too big news. But he is 85 so it probably means that he's in poor health.

Debbie Reynolds was already on life support when Carrie died, so they just pulled the plug and made it seem like a divine coincidence.

Corpse aka Dionne Warwick

How do people think Lisa Marie Presley died? “Natural” heart attack? Her father died of a heart attack at 42.

RIP Gina Lollobrigida

Elke Sommer b.1940

1 point for R67.

R298, That is a ridiculously false statement.

George Santos will die of third degree burns and smoke inhalation while bravely rescuing a busload of special needs children from a fiery highway collision, and he’ll never stop bragging about it.

Julie Newmar

Assy

Jane Seymour dies which leads to a huge Somewhere in Time fan convention on Mackinac Island and as a result the fans overcrowd the island causing riots and looting of fudge shops.

Jason Behr is too hot to die.

Some ematiated waif model with a huge head and dirty hair, and wide eyes with a dour look on her face, covered in tats - but has appeared on dozens of magazine covers at the age of 23. No one has ever heard of her, but everyone will intend to donate to her Go Fund Me page, so her parents can fly her body home to Texas from the Netherlands, where she was found dead at a bus stop. Her official cause of death will be 'heart disease'.

Adam Rich, Lance Kerwin, Cindy Williams...what 70s tv star is next?

Another vote for Amanda Bynes.

Raquel Welch.
