2010 Celebrity Death Pool - Discussion Thread

Well 2009 is about to come to a close and now it is time to start planning the 2010 Celebrity Death Pool.

We need to decide if everyone wants to keep the same set up as the last couple years or modify it some as was discussed in the 2009 thread.

Your list should be submitted by the 1st of the year.

Artile Lange Rushed to Hospital... (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-15166-Dallas-Comedy-Examiner~y2010m1d3-Howard-Stern-sidekick-Artie-Lange-makes-his-biweekly-visit-to-the-hospital-cause-unknown)

Update on Artie Lange:

Stern sidekick in suicide try
http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2010/01/07/pagesix/photos_stories/cropped/artie_lange_wireimage--300x300.jpg
Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post. Lange's frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges. A source close to Lange's management team confirmed that the Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food. Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding. "We all have our demons," Stern said on-air this week, referring to Lange's past battles with addiction. "Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He's a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don't forget how great he is."

Former New England Patriot, Mosi Tatupu Dies at 54

Former New England Patriot running back, Mosi Tatupu, was pronounced dead Tuesday at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Mass. at the age of 54.
The cause of death remains unknown but according to reports Tatupu suffered from high blood pressure among other ailments.
Tatupu, who played for the New England Patriots from 1978 to 1990, was a fan favorite; he even had his own cheering section in the stadium. He made it to the Pro Bowl in 1986. During his last season in the NFL, he played five games for the Rams before leaving in 1991.
Throughout his career he had 18 touchdowns and 2,415 rushing yards in 199 career games. He averaged 3.9 yards per carry. Also on his resume are 96 catches for 843 yards; two received scores.
He was father to current Seahawks star linebacker Lofa Tatupu, whom he coached football to in high school at King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham, Mass.
He was running backs coach at Curry College in Milton, Mass. Tatupu was in the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame.
Most recently, in September, he was honored as a special-teamer on the Patriots’ 50th anniversary team. He participated in a ceremony during halftime of the New England Patriots’ 2009 season opener.

Extreme skier Johnson dies after fall
A professional extreme skier who competed in the Winter X Games died Wednesday after he fell and hit his head on a rock outcropping while taking a run down a steep chute at California's Squaw Valley.
C.R. Johnson, 26, was skiing with a group of friends when he fell while trying to negotiate a "very, very tight, rocky area," said Jim Rogers, a member of the Lake Tahoe-area resort's ski patrol.
He fell face-first, then spun around and struck the back of his head on rocks. Johnson was wearing a helmet, but Rogers said the helmet took a serious blow.

I thought the same. I am guessing probably not since it sounds more like fun instead of work.

T-Bone Wolk, bass player for Hall & Oates, dies
http://entimg.msn.com/i/150/News/March09/wenn.jpg

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, the mainstay bassist of Hall & Oates' band for nearly 30 years, has died of an apparent heart attack. He was 58.
The band's manager, Jonathan Wolfson, says Wolk died Sunday in Pawling, N.Y., where he had been recording a solo album with Daryl Hall.
Wolk joined Hall & Oates in 1981. He was also a member of the "Saturday Night Live" house band in 1986-92 and performed with numerous other musicians, including Carly Simon, Billy Joel and Avril Lavigne.
Wolfson says Wolk was preparing to appear Monday with Hall & Oates on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
