Has anyone else noticed that we've basically had 1 fairly major celebrity death every month so far?

January: Heath Ledger
February: Roy Schieder (Jaws, Seaquest, The French Connection)
March: Arthur C. Clarke
April: Charlton Heston
May: Sydney Pollack
June: George Carlin, and a less high-profile one Stan Winston (SFX Guy for Jurassic Park and countless other films you loved as a kid)
July: Nobody major, but...
August: Isaac Hayes AND Bernie Mac, ya know, to make up for July.

So... who's gonna be Septembers I wonder? It's hard to predict since many of these have been pretty random.

I didn't know that Isaac Hayes died, I hope no-one else is going to die...

Buggerall, you're right, blame Wikipedia. I was checking on there to make sure I got my months right and he wasn't listed.

After what he pulled on south park. May Isaac Hayes rot in hell. Or at the hands of Xenu.

Fuck that guy in his double-standard ass.

Hmm quick question were Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes by any chance contributers to the Obama camp? If so expect some juicy conspiracy theories sprouting up soon. Its pretty sad when anyone dies, so wishing anyone rots in Hell is pretty cold dont you think.

Although I always wanted to go somewhere warm for my holidays!

Im outraged at the fact that you forgot Robert Lynn Asprin, although maybe an author isn't much of a celebrity so I'll let it go...

btw Tom Cruise, your next! *grabs a sniper rifle, heads out the door* I'll be back sept 18th XD

Robert Asprin died! Shit! I had no idea!

EDIT: Cleverly_Made_Up it's because we haven't had quite this many high profile deaths in awhile.

I reckon he'll more likely be a November croaker.

Any bets on Amy Winehouse? The rate she's going, she won't make it to the end of the year. Place your bets, place your bets...

Ah, excellent. Nobody cares about him and it's cancer so he's effectively already dead.

I call January.

I bet he gets hit by a bus. He always struck me as the 'dies under the wheels of a bus' type.

Nobody cares about him? For your information, a lot of people love him. He has nice salad dressings, lemonades etc. and it all goes towards kids with cancer. So, YES, a lot of people care about Paul Newman.

Patrick Swazye is not a man but a concept. He cannot be killed much like Chuck Norris.

As to whose going to die next, as soon as I can put money in my electricity meter and get the stuck door to my basement open Pete Docherty.......

Must buy more hefty bags

Bernie Mac died? Somehow I missed that.

Richard Wright (Keyboardist for Pink Floyd) died last week (I was sad)

Edit: Ha! you have been Ninja'd good sir! Though Richard Wright deserves to be mentioned twice so it's alright.
