You are plain disgusting and should be in a mental institution!

Usually it's a politician with brain damage, a popular comedian, and an actress from long ago.

My picks are:

Hillary Clinton 66, Dick Van Dyke 88, and Doris Day 90.

I don't count Brady because he's not in the entertainment business, but your post is hilarious, you sick puppy.

Never heard of him. That doesn't mean anything. I never heard of Versace until he was murdered, but lots of other people did.

I had to Google him, and I still don't know who he is.

are we suppose to count weekend and holidays and do they all have to be in the same month as someone else pointed that out?

OK because I'm the future founder of the American Association for the Advancement of Asian Actors, I'll let this one be counted.

It should be within about 2 weeks of each other, IMO.

Somebody has to live and let die, we might as well guess who's next.

I wonder if Paul McCartney will outlive Pete Townsend?

The only surviving Beatles are the drummer and the bass player, and from The Who the only deceased are the drummer and the bass player. Coincidence, or conspiracy?

I'm from the Netherlands and I know Billy Mays but I did not know Ed McMahon or Farrah Fawcett, who died at the same as Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. I wouldn't call Billy a 'D list celebrity'. Billy never got the attention he deserved because his untimely passing got completely overshadowed by Michael Jacksons death a few days earlier. I thought Billy was really great because to me he is the personification of everything America stands for.
