I was in Havana about 10 years ago and a local girl told me he has lots of different houses and quite a few dopplegangers so no-one knows where he is at any one time. He is feared rather than reveered. He was very ill in hospital a few years ago but apparently recovered. Although Roual Castro is ready to step up to the mark, locally he is considered a bit of a cock.
Can I have a fiver on Hugh Heffner?
A 26 year old bride must surely finish the old goat off. 26! FFS I have got pants older than that!Posted 5 months ago # -

When he does eventually go we could get Barbara Windsor back on the news telling us what a great chap he really was. Or was that the Krays?

I'm putting money on Aretha Franklin slipping quietly away without fuss, and Robert Redford and/or Clint Eastwood as the 'thought he'd go on forever' bet.

Post-Savile, it's kinda depressing to see elderly men in the entertainment industry being arrested one by one. In this 'no smoke with out fire' era, I wonder if they're ever going to get a fair trial. The 'jury' seems to make up its mind, these days, on the day of arrest. If a man is guilty as charged, he may be suicidal. If he's innocent - but with reputation trashed - he may also be suicidal. I'm only surprised that we haven't seen a Savile-related suicide.

Chuck Berry (dead cert)
Mary Berry (less likely but could choke on one of her own cakes)
Halle Berry (rank outsider, but you never know. Freak accident maybe - has heart attack on receiving surprise Oscar for Lifetime Achievement?)Posted 5 months ago #
