Poll question: Who will be the next celebrity to die?
I say Richard Pryor. Poor fella. That will suck.

1. Bob Barker.
He's been on the verge of death for 300 years already, so it's just a matter of days, probably.

7. No, he bathes in the blood of dogs, and dines exclusively on cat livers
It keeps him preserved.

Why do you think he's so adamant about protecting them?

2. I think Richard Pryor
BTW, why is Robert Downey Jr. on the list? He has seemingly cleaned up his life and he looked wonderful on the Kennedy Center honors show and while promoting his new CD.

Didn't Dear Abby die?

29. Dear Abby... Alive... Ann Landers, her sister... Dead and...
I got one already. Artie Shaw died today.

I'll add boxer Max Schmeling to the list to replace Artie.

31. Dear Abby is indeed alive. She has Alzheimer's. Her daughter
Jeanne Phillips was writing her column LONG before they put her picture in the paper and admitted she was writing it. I think that wasn't done until after Ann Landers died.

I grew up reading Dear Abby and Ann Landers. I really thought they were immortal.

11. I hope it's Heston...
For purely financial reasons: I have a Bible autographed by him, and I want to sell it on eBay when he kicks the bucket.

12. Wait a minute.
Charlton Heston thought it appropriate to autograph a Bible? He really does take that Moses thing too seriously, doesn't he? Or should I say doesn't He?

21. I don't think he got the irony
The Bible was a prop on an episode of a seies I did with him, in which he played a preacher.

I asked him to sign it... and he never questioned it.

I should have asked him to revise some of the Commandments. Like... "Thou Shalt Not Ban the Hollowpoint".
