Without further ado, here they are.

6. Jack Kevorkian
7. John Forsythe
8. Roger Ebert
9. Farrah Fawcett
10. Ariel Sharon
11. Joe Eszterhas
12. Brooke Astor
13. Geraldine Ferraro

Are you just hoping on the Lindsay Lohan front?

Gee I thought the critics has murdered Joe Eszterhas after that stripper movie, whatcha call it? Anyway good call on Pete Doherty, that guy has had more snow than Denver! You missed one tho...Jason Newstead! This time Lukas promised the stack of Marshalls won't miss......

Happy New Year from the east coast!
We got it first!

EditThis - Word. While I'm certainly not a fan, my selection of Lindsay is based strictly on what I consider to be a toxic downward spiral.

Eddie - Ha! I kinda think Jason faked that injury and won't be back. Thanks for visiting!

some of these choices I should Google - is Geraldine Ferraro ill? I'd think Nicole Richie might not be a bad choice either . . .

Roger Ebert might be my oddest celeb sighting ever - a small cafe in Edinburgh Scotland - I'm sure he was there for the film part of the Edinburgh Festival . . .

Diane - Unfortunately, Geraldine has multiple myeloma.

And that's a GREAT celebrity sighting story!

Ffleur - Mary Traverse is from the 60s singing group, Peter, Paul, and Mary. She has leukemia.

Yes, John Forsythe from Dynasty (and Charlie's Angels).

I replaced Kitty Carlisle with Brooke Astor this year.
