Today's Apocalypse Sign: Celebrity Troika Dead Pool

I don't know what that means but it sounded kinda cool. Okay, so for some reason , this time of year starting roughly at Thanksgiving and running through the end of the year...3 celebrities pass away. It is the mystical belief that supposedly celebrity deaths happen in threes or some such silliness. So to perpetuate the mythology, I offer again this year a chance to pick your celebrity list. The first one is already gone...

Larry Hagman - Dead at the age of 81. He passed at at home in Texas after battling cancer. The JR Ewing icon was slated to participate in this seasons revival of the "Dallas" rebirth. That storyline will now have to be changed.

So who will be the next two to greet Larry in the hereafter by the end of the year?

Maybe someone from this list (wishing no ill-will on anyone obviously):

Clint Eastwood
Gene Hackman
Wilfred Brimley (perennial survivor of these lists)
Muhammad Ali
Carol Burnett (she is being sued from beyond the grave)
Harrison Ford
Sean Connery
Tommy Lee Jones
Betty White
Cher

Who will be included in the list of honorees at the Oscars in February?

Maybe you have one of your own you'd like to add. The watch will go on through the end of the year (or through 12.21.12 which ever comes last) and updated as needed.

Today's Apocalypse Sign: We Have Winner!

Elizabeth Edwards dies of cancer at 61

This headline jumped off the page at me as I was logging out of my windowslive account just now. I know I just heard this morning that the doctors had decided no further treatment would be productive. They never even mentioned on the Today Show that she was thisclosetodeath.
 
Though technically not a politician, being the high-profile wife of a philandering ex-presidential candidate (say that three times fast) I think fills my prediction from just yesterday of the genre of the third celebrity death in this threesome.
 
Wow! This all went so fast. In less than a week we had Leslie Neilson (actor), Don Meredith (sports legend), and Elizabeth Edwards (politico spouse) fade to black. This must be some kind of record.
 
Here is short clip on Elizabeth Edwards battle with cancer.
 


RIP Liz.
