I'm not psychic, but I feel like there's going to be a big celebrity death some time this summer

I wouldn't say Matthew Perry's death was a shock.

It was to everyone not in the know, which is 99% of the people.

Celebrities die every year.

It's Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis wouldn't be a shock given how he's deteriorated.

The only big celebrity death I want to see is that orange-hued fuckface's.

He's 77, overweight and treats his body like a garbage can. I wouldn't be shocked.

Next, OP will predict that the sun will rise tomorrow.

True- you are NOT psychic

You ARE psychotic

Matthew Perry's death was a shock? Maybe a mild surprise, but everyone knew it was just a matter of time. He was a (formally hot) mess, like a more famous version of Tom Sizemore.

If you're not a psychic, OP, then your feelings are meaningless and unreliable. Any REAL psychics on this thread?

Beyonce, plane crash.

And then she'll finally get a (posthumous) Grammy for album of the year.

It would have to be someone very famous, young, and in good health for it to be a big celebrity death.

- You don't have to be a psychic

R13 Don't get me all excited.

Joe Biden probably. Or Cher.

No need to be a psychic for that, OP.

After OP's sunrise prediction, my money's something about smoking.

Would I qualify?

[quote]I'm not psychic...

No shit, OP. Because no one is.

One of the candidates for POTUS.

There hasn’t been a Diana/JFK, Jr. level death this century.

It's Da King!

Hunter Biden, while snorting coke out of a stripper's crack. The nation mourns the tragedy.

It’s Justin Bieber. My niece will be shattered.

Kid Rock, while cleaning his gun.

When Natalie Wood died in 1981 and Princess Grace died in 1982, both of their untimely deaths were front page stories for days on end.

R20, I knew you were going to say that.

Are you SURE you’re not a psychic?

I have to say. There are a lot of famous people who are in their 80's and 90's now. OP you have to mean someone besides Jimmy Carter, right?

I hope it's not Catherine of Wales or her father-in-law. I really do. If anyone connected to the RF might kick it, it would be the cadaverous Kent. He's already peeing on himself.

Pee Diddy will be suiceded.

You’re all gonna miss Timmy when he’s gone.

He IS the people's princess, r32.

Fellow non-psychic here, but I think it will happen sooner than summer. It really is time for a big celebrity death.

[quote]There hasn’t been a Diana/JFK, Jr. level death this century.

Michael Jackson was shocking, and not same level but Kobe Bryant was also unexpected.

You’re a psycho

Oh, indeed, R33. But he’s 28, which removes the element of eeriness which is needed when going out with a truly epic splash.

R35, Diana and JFK, Jr. were both in their thirties, thriving and healthy.

MJ’s death was as “unexpected” as Whitney’s.

[quote][R35], Diana and JFK, Jr. were both in their thirties, thriving and healthy.

Oh, please, a Kennedy dying tragic death is not surprising.

a tragic*

I’m going to chime in and say that while Matthew Perry’s death was a major news story, nobody was shocked. I remember they were joking about Perry’s addictions on Married… With Children a hundred years ago.

I think Whitney's death was a moderate shock. It wasn't surprising once it happened but I don't think at the time many thought she was past hope. To the extent I thought about it I thought at some point she's going to rehab and have a third act.

Everyone is expecting it, but Britney's death will be huge news!

Seriously, R39?

That's not shock that's commerce.

Of course it made the news, r44.

You will find as many covers (if not more) about MJ.

Oh please, r44, even Anna Nicole Smith got several covers when she died.

R47 is either very young or very old. The entire nation came to a halt when JFK, Jr.’s plane was reported missing in July of 1999.

I never said they didn't, 48, I just pointed out that I think Michael Jackson's death was shocking. Maybe not being in the US explains why JFK Jr's death didn't have the same impact over here. It was in the news of course, but nothing like in the US.

Anyway, enough derailing the thread.

Go on, guys. Sorry!

Dare we hope the person looks like a greasy orange slug?

Has any done an image of him as Jabba the Hutt?

it will be an OD.

THink of all the celebrity aviators:John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford. They all fly their own planes.

Although an OD is more probable.

Done way back in 2017.

SUGAR PIE! *slurring*

[quote]The entire nation came to a halt when JFK, Jr.’s plane was reported missing in July of 1999.

That never happened. Yes, people were talking about it. The nation coming to a halt?...No.

R55 I remember it well. I was sitting at the laundromat watching the TV there, and a news report came on saying his plane was missing. The reaction from everyone, including me, was "Oh, how awful." But that was about it. I don't recall the nation coming to a halt.

My much despised aunt called my mother on Saturday morning to tell her, I answered the phone and she screamed at me to put television on because the Kennedy kid was dead! This was before the networks were reporting he was dead. She had made the decision ahead of time.

[quote]Although an OD is more probable.

OD died last week.

True story. My father was newly married to my mom and working as a journalist for the local paper. He was at a diner for lunch when he saw JFK getting shot on the tv there. He raced back to the paper and yelled to them to stop the presses as the evening edition was going to print. He beat the ticker tape machine.

That's my JFK story.

R55/R56

R55/R56

R55/R56

JFK was shot on a TV at a diner? What was I watching?

OP = Sylvia Browne.

Bush is gonna die. he's old as fuck

R62 Wow. News headlines designed to be sensational and attract readers.

Who'd have thunk it?

You got the gift OP!

You got the GIFT!

Deaths of MJ, Anna Nicole, Prince and the like are sensational and captivating because of how bizarre their celebrity lifestyles were. Sleep via Dr.-administered anaesthetic? Sipping liquid through a baby bottle? Copious pharmaceuticals on site? Emergency private plane landing the day before? What's not too love?

[quote] Bush is gonna die. he's old as fuck

He’s the same age as Dataloungers.

Did someone say "big celebrity death?"

Don't worry. I'm fine. Unemployed and boyfriend-less, but I'm fine.

And starving.

[quote]He’s the same age as Dataloungers.

Yeah, but he doesn't look 25 like we do!

You ARE psychic, OP!
