A few months ago when Robin Williams was in the hospital, I was at a hair salon and a couple girls there convinced all of us he’d died. I had to go home and check CNN; I figured they’d have said something. They didn’t. He’s fine.

One pseudo-celebrity who really did die, however, is Billy Mays.

I like to spread the rumour that famous bender (and friend of the musically departed), Uri Geller has died… often explaining that he rubbed the back of his neck and his head fell off.

I always thought Steve Miller was dead (like always…I thought he died in the 80s). Imagine my shock when I saw that the Steve Miller Band is coming to town next week.

oooh. I swear that comedian Mitch Fatel had an obituary on the back page of US magazine once but I couldn’t find any sign of it months later when he appeared on Leno again (obviously not dead). I wrote to US and his web address but didn’t get a reply about his rumoured death.

Stephanie Tanner from Full House was supposed to have died one yr. More credible if the rumour surfaced later during her drugging days.

I always heard that Mikey from the ceral box died from mixing soda and pop rocks. Turns out it’s not lethal…

When I heard the Goldblum story yesterday, I told my co-worker, “Man, the celebrities are dropping like flies.” Inadvertent pun.
