They're dropping like flies!

Celeb worshiping needs to end. Yes death can be sad but this commotion over MJ, FF, and BM is absolutly rediculous.

I'm old enough to remember Gale Storm but I mistakenly thought she had passed years ago. I guess that's because of her advanced age and she hasn't done any theatrical work in some time.

If it does come in threes as I've always known it to, then it would appear we have yet another one coming because David Carradine started the ball rolling. Add the 4 that have just passed and that leaves one more.

Are you forgetting Ed McMahon?

David Carradine (by your count)
Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays
Gale Storm

That's six.

Nope, I didn't forget Ed McMahon. I apparently just can't count.

"Three on a match" is another adage regarding bad luck and was supposed to have come from WWI.

Enemy snipers would look across the lines and see men lighting cigarettes - The glow from the fire and people trying to get three ciggies lit, would give him just enough time to sight and fire at the area illuminated by the match.

-----------------------

The strange part about these people passing is the level of 'famous-ness'
that each had. DC was and enigma, EM was an icon, FF an all-time sex symbol, MJ was bigger than the planet? BM? Someone you liked or chose not to notice......GS? That was a stage name!

It's like Carradine started it and it just ballooned...I got two phone calls about Billy Mays, One for MJ an no one mentioned Poor Old Ed.

Gale Storm stopped the "age trend" They were getting too young there, for a minute!

Nice thread title .

I have always heard the thing about things happening in 3's. Apparently we just had two sets of 3's this time.

We always said babies came in 3's when I worked at the Department of Public Welfare years ago. It seemed there were always 3 women pregnant at the same time - LOL.

Just because comments are made doesn't mean that anyone is engaging in worship. It's natural to talk about these things and in a small way it can even be somewhat of a tribute. There has been controversy surrounding MJ but to deny the impact that his contribution has made to the entertainment industry and to the lives of his fans and even to those who aren't so enamored w/him is what's ridiculous. Discussion and reminiscing also helps us to be grateful for our own lives and the so-called normalcy.

If you don't like it don't read the thread. Just like I'm not watching every single special about Michael Jackson. Not because I don't like him, but because there's only so much you can say about someone.

OMG now her.. RIP Gale Storm

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Didn't Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls just die last month or so too?

[lvpets2002]

I'm with Mary - I see no worship going on here with anyone that you mentioned. I was never a MJ fan, but I for one, have probably said more about him in the past few day, than I ever had before. What's wrong with people acknowledging him for the incredibly talented person that he was, rather than slamming him for the negative aspects of his actions in life?
I for one, hope that people that know me, will remember me more for the good, rather than the bad, when my time is up.

What was that again, Ms. Devil? LOL Seriously, though, I think we all can wish for that, huh? Who doesn't have skeletons but if we would just remove the beam from our own eye before we notice the straw in another's, we'd all be better off. You make a good point, El.

Just remember - there's a big difference between devilish, and outright bad!
I know that you'll remember the devil in me.
