come now...you don't actually think that poor old hag deserves to live now, do you? Imagine the glory of being the person to send that old bat to the grave! I'd be famous for at least 15 minutes. And I'd be on Entertainment Tonight. Plus I would have a ton of green karma!

So did anyone pick Evel Knievel?

If you pick someone for 2008, but they die in 2007, do you get another pick?

LOS ANGELES - Alex Trebek, longtime host of TV's classic game show "Jeopardy!" was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a minor heart attack, a spokesman for the show said.

ADVERTISEMENT

Trebek, 67, was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center late Monday night and was expected to remain there about two days for tests and observation, said show spokesman Jeff Ritter.

"Thankfully it was a minor heart attack," Ritter said. He did not have other details.

The official "Jeopardy!" Web site said: "He is resting comfortably in a Los Angeles hospital, and he will be back in the studio for the next scheduled tapings in January."

The Canadian-born Trebek has hosted the syndicated show since 1984. He has won several daytime Emmy Awards for his work and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Trebek escaped a car crash unhurt in 2004 when he fell asleep at the wheel and sideswiped a string of mailboxes, according to the California Highway Patrol. The Jan 30, 2004, accident, which left Trebek's car in a ditch, happened in the town of Templeton.

Okay, it's time for people to start dying.

LOL. But not really.
 
Since Phaded left and i'll never no if he dies, I think it's only fair if I can switch my vote to the rapper DMX


judges? ye? ne?
 
Johnny Podres, the cool and clutch lefty who pitched the Dodgers to their one and only world championship in Brooklyn by shutting out the Yankees, 2-0, in the seventh game of the 1955 World Series, died Sunday night in a hospital in Glens Falls, N.Y. He was 75.

Podres, who forever earned his niche as the toast of Brooklyn with two wins over the Yankees in that '55 Series

The son of an iron miner from Witherbee in the Adirondacks, Podres needed only two seasons of minor league apprenticeship before breaking into the majors with the Dodgers as a 21-year-old in 1953. The previous year, Dodgers GM Buzzie Bavasi turned down an offer of $250,000 from the Cleveland Indians for him after Podres had fashioned a stunning 21-3 record and 1.67 ERA in Class D ball. Podres went on to pitch 15 years in the majors, remaining with the Dodgers through 1965, and compiled a 148-116 record with a career 3.68 ERA. In 1957, he led the National League with a 2.66 ERA and six shutouts, and his best season was 1961 when he was 18-5. In four World Series with the Dodgers, Podres was 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA.

But it was the 1955 World Series for which Podres always will be remembered, especially Game 7, when he shut the Yankees down on eight hits. The Yankees' lone threat off him in the game was thwarted by reserve left fielder Sandy Amoros - who, just after being inserted into the game for defensive purposes for Junior Gilliam by Dodger manager Walt Alston, snared Yogi Berra's slicing fly ball in the left-field corner of Yankee Stadium with two on and nobody out in the sixth inning to start a double play.

"When Yogi hit that ball, I thought it was out," Podres said years later in an interview with Baseball Digest. "But then it started to slice a lot. I don't know if Junior would have caught it, being that he was a righthanded thrower. Being lefthanded, Sandy was able to reach out at the last second and catch it.

"All I know is, we won the game, but the feeling ... I don't know. I can't remember the feeling I had. There was too much hysteria going on."
 
Did anyone have Suzanne Pleshette? The Bob Newhart co-star died yesterday of respiratory failure after lung cancer, age 70.

Gordon B. Hinckley, the president and prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who led Mormonism through a period of global expansion, died Sunday at his apartment in Salt Lake City. He was 97.

I thought someone had selected the now-deceased Mormon leader. Or was that last year? Wasn't it Need2?
 
Amy Winehouse and Fidel Castro would still have to be favourites.

Nobody has picked Obama, remember Bobby Kennedy?

Just saying, not that I would want that to happen, I love the guy.

Did anyone pick the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? He croaked today.
