    Well I was sad to learn Rue McClanahan (Blanche) died yesterday of a stroke.

    Estelle Getty (Sophia) died in 2008
    Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy) died in 2009
    Rue McClanahan (Blanche) died in 2010

    Betty White (Rose) is actually the oldest of them in real life and the only surviving Golden Girl. Wonder will she die in 2011 lol.

    Blanche was my favourite...

    There's actually almost enough for a televised Golden Girl-themed séance now?

    Could make a fortune.

    We should start a dead-pool on which member of "Two and a half men" will die first. My money is on the retarded kid.

    Do you mean the only non bearded member of ZZ Top is Frank Beard ? Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill would be very upset to hear they are no longer in the band.

    Pfft! Gibbons and Hill are but glorified roadies - Beard is the metronomic center of excellence from whenceforth all creativity spurts.*










    *You're right, I forgot to add that bit in :(

    I think he shot himself once when cleaning his gun. As you do.

    Is there a more perfect thing for a member of a hard-living Southern rock band to do?

    That would be news to Conrad Bain and Todd Bridges, who are both still alive
