With Ed McMahon’s death, that brings Round Three of our Celebrity Dead Pool to an end. We are now accepting changes to your picks (for those already playing), and welcome new players! The only rule is that the person you pick cannot have been in the news in the past 2-3 weeks due to an illness of any kind. Other than that, it’s fair game!
Correct guess of the next to go gets a $10 giftcard from Target.
Entries are being accepted through Friday, July 3. You may put your request in the comments on this post, or you can email me at cootiehog [at] gmail [dot] com.
UPDATE ON JULY 3 @ 5 p.m. ET: The entry period has come to an end. Good luck to those who continue to play our game!
Please roll me over to the next round… not that I am hoping for anything…
Consider yourself rolled, NJSue!
I’m throwing out Mr. Hefner and replacing with George HW Bush.
Oh wait never mind I see he’s taken…I’ll take Hef back!
Cristan – yeah, that was Sharon’s replacement pick.
But wow…two people think GHWB is going down? Poor guy. But didn’t he just do some skydiving recently? I’d say he’s pretty spry…
I’ll drop Lauren Bacall and add George McGovern.
You got it, Uncle Bill!
I pick Michael Jackson. Oh wait…
Sorry, poor taste joke. It’s been a bad week for famous people!
I’ll stick with Former President Carter.
And I was going to take 50-year-old TV pitchman Billy Mays in this round. I guess I’ll have to put on my thinking cap.
Karl Malden
Michael: Unfortunately I can’t accept your entry because 1) he died the same day you made your pick and 2) he died before our time frame for accepting entries was over (the picks still need to be alive by the time our entry period ends on July 3).
Pick again!!
