RULES (Taken from other thread)
I propose we each name three celebrities and receive a point for each one that dies before the end of the year. A bonus point will be awarded if the deceased in under 60 years old and two bonus points if they are under 30.

The celebrities should be well-known enough to be recognised by most members so, for example, some obscure conceptual artist from Turkmenistan should be challenged by the other members. We should probably rule out someone who is only famous for being the oldest person alive in America, or wherever!

Lol some pretty safe bets there eh?

I'm gonna take a different route and say:

1) Lindsay Lohan - (23) that drugged up wh00re that we all love
2) Latoya Jackson - (53) the outcast of the Jackson family
3) Arlen Specter - (79) no explanation required, I assume

Sorry, just realised Ournamestoolong took Castro already (thanks for taking over b/t/w) so I'll choose American comedienne Joan Rivers instead.
