Celebrity and Adult Performer Death Thread

[Mr. Daystar]

Matthew Perry @ 54.

it said "reported". So I'm not sure if that means they were beating on his chest, in a futile effort when the reporter was there, or if it just hasn't been made official by his publicist. If it is true, it's huge. The first one of the group, and the one with the history of problems with fame gained and lost, and addiction.

He was a funny guy, but you could tell he was scarred inside. R.I.P. Chanandler Bong.

Not sure about the semantics, but Chandler Bing's passing is being widely reported.

[Mr. Daystar]

Yeah, I was wrong, he's gone. My post was based on what I saw that just said "reportedly", so I just figured he might be on the way to a hospital, and being resuscitated. Remember a couple of years ago, they said someone died, he didn't, but then 2 days later actually did die? It's to bad, 54 and a lot of life ahead of him. He had to be getting good residual money from friends, but I guess money can't buy happiness.

And what I read wasn't in your article, it was something I read elsewhere. I should have posted that, to explain myself.

"It's to bad, 54 and a lot of life ahead of him. He had to be getting good residual money from friends, but I guess money can't buy happiness." He did a memoir, a number of years ago. His personal life was A MESS. He had .. 14 surgeries, because his colon was SHOT. He used to do 55 (!) pills of Vicotin A DAY. He would attend Open Houses, and raid the Seller's medicine cabinet of opiods if / when he found them. One of those cases where he is probably better off where is "now," versus prior.

The bigger health issue with 55 Vicodin a day, isn't so much the Hydrocodone, but the 325mg of acetaminophen per pill. They say you shouldn't ingest no more then 1500-2000 milligrams a day, IF that much. So he was doing almost 18.000mg. per day, so almost 9 times the dosage per day. That will destroy your liver and kidneys.

Cold Warrior Henry Kissinger dies at 100!

[Mr. Daystar]

I just saw the article. The link I was going to post, portrayed him as a war criminal. I disagree. Not a lot of people know, he talked Nixon out of nuking Vietnam.

Here's another link, in case anyone wants other points of view. He was certainly a controversial man.

Shane MacGowan RIP

Another noteworthy political figure has passed away, at a ripe old age. Unfortunately, it wasn't under the most comfortable conditions, but at least her suffering has ended.

We've lost another rocker. I liked April Wine back in the day, and I have a couple of pieces of their vinyl. I haven't listened to them in years (no turntable), but I cranked 'em up back in the day.

Another one. They're starting to depart from use quickly again. Denny Laine, lead singer, and guitarist for The Moody Blues has passed away. He was 79, and died from lung disease. I love the Moody Blues, an absolutely innovative band in the prog genre, and surely well ahead of their time.

Norman Lear has died.

God bless him, he lived a long and celebrated life. He made millions laugh, me among them. R.I.P. Mr. Lear, you've earned it.

Ryan O’Neal joins Farrah somewhere …

[Mr. Daystar]

He was a good actor, and had a pretty good career. I think losing Farrah really dragged him down. You hardly heard a word about him after she passed. Well I hope he is back with her, and I hope he is resting in peace.

Andre Braugher dies at 61 after a brief illness. This is a shock. His acting in Homicide: Life on the Streets made me a fan.

[Mr. Daystar]

I saw a couple of episodes of Brooklyn 99. I can't say I know his work well, but 61 is way to young to go. I hope he's at peace.

A legend of stock car racing has passed.

I remember that fight at Daytona. # 43 won that day. Cale was angry. He said Donnie swerved right into him. Then Bobby joined in. Rest in Peace.

He was the NYPD detective and Dennis Quaid's friend in Frequency later James Caviezel's police captain boss in the same film. Rest in peace.
