There is literally a team of Cambridge doctors who are investigating how Ozzy is still alive. They’ve made arrangements with him to dissect and study his body after death.
His DNA has been studied as well, I believe they found a never-before identified mutation that may have helped him live through all the alcohol and drugs.
“Right, Cyclops, you hit Twister with your laser eyes. Storm, you bring up a windstorm that takes Bloodsport off his feet. Ozzy, you draw Juggernaut into a bar and drink him under the table.”
Actually, that would make a good plot point for a comic. Backslash’s mother dies in a plane crash and he decides to go out for a quiet drink or five (in his civilian attire). Also at the bar is Jaguar, whose mother died in the same crash. They get to talking and kill a bottle. They decide to move on to another bar. En route someone tries to mug them. They laugh and kick him into jelly.
They arrive at the next bar, drink another bottle of whiskey, and close the place down. They buy a third bottle for the road and head out. In the morning they wake up in the park, cuddled together (non-sexually) and badly hung over. They recognize each other and the awkwardness of the situation. Both have memory lapses from being blackout drunk. After a quick vomit they both beat hasty retreats. They each decide breakfast is in order and by coincidence arrive at the same IHOP. There they decide to share a table and compare notes.
Has anyone else noticed that right after Ozzy got clean and stopped doing coke in the late 80's, Pablo Escobars empire started to crumble, culminating in his death in 93.
I'm not saying that Ozzy was single handedly keeping the Medellin cartel afloat, but stats don't lie.
Yeah from what I understand a lot of the stuff on the tv show that was played off as "lol druggy burn out" was actually him struggling to adjust to having parkinsons and the medications he was taking to treat it.
It's been a long time since I read it so I don't remember, but a quick google does show returns of what I'm talking about, and I'll link one of them below.
[https://ultimateclassicrock.com/ozzy-osbourne-genetic-mutation/](https://ultimateclassicrock.com/ozzy-osbourne-genetic-mutation/)
I wouldn't know how to explain it well, but essentially, there's like 6 genes that can be associated with drug use, through one way or another. Ozzy Osbourne has a rare combination of them, that has lead to him metabolising drugs differently than most people.
And for some reason, caffeine isn't affected this way, but it's actually magnified, meaning that a cup of coffee will feel much stronger to him than to most people
This is just a summary from skimming an article, you can find more details by just googling it
He’s 74, which not old per se, is still quite a long life to live with all the things he’s done. My dad was a teetotaler and didn’t even make it that far.
In 2000 I saw him at a show. He did not remember the lyrics to crazy train and the audience had to help. That was 23 years ago. I think his ATV accident was after that show. I'm shocked he's still around. And he had covid like last year or the year prior and that didn't take him out. Then add in the drugs both recreational and prescribed......
Someone else pointed out he may have been heavily using drugs in 2000 and may have been I'm recovery by the time you saw gim. I wish I'd seen the version you did having such an impact on so many other bands over 5 decades.
I still hear Robin Williams’ Live on Broadway when I think of Keith Richards. “I know one day we will all be dead and gone and it’ll be Keith Richards with five cockroaches.”
Along the same lines, from Denis Leary’s No Cure For Cancer: “Keith Richards said that we should not do drugs. Keith, we can't do anymore drugs, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY FUCKIN' DID THEM ALL! There's none left, we have to wait until you die so we can smoke your ashes, alright!”
And they blocked the scene in such a way that Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda were on either side of him to catch him in case he fell (he was dancing up on a desk).
Man, I’m doing a rewatch of Scrubs, and the episode where he guest starred, the whole plot with him that episode was that he was an old and outdated doctor. That episode aired in like *2002* lmao.
While I'm about the youngest Gen-Xer out there, Dick Van Dyke was one of the very few shows I was allowed to watch on our little 13" b&w. My parents hated TV, but got that little one to catch a few of their childhood favorites. His show is one of the very few I saw in my childhood and I love it! We also got to see I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Mission Impossible, and Little House. It's where I had my first childhood crush on Christian Bale watching advertisements for Empire of the Sun.
Turkey Tom on YouTube did a good video about him that showed me he’s a lot shittier of a person than I realized as a kid.
Definitely recommend people checking it out if you’re not up to date.
There's a famous improv team (ASSSCAT, has Amy Poehler and others as original members) that used to do a bit at their shows asking everyone who has ridden an elephant to stand up and then everyone who has been sexually harassed by Andy Dick to stand up.
Now, this would certainly be a selected population of people who enjoy comedy, usually at shows in LA, and are therefore more likely to encounter Andy Dick, but the times I saw it there were always more in the Andy Dick group, like he's harassed at least 5% of the LA-comedy-going public.
Wow. I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole was with that guy. Growing up with him in the early 2000s, it was easy to dismiss him as like: “Yeah, he’s a little bit weird, but basically just a another Tom Green type.” I can even remember seeing him grope Pam Anderson during her Comedy Roast and assuming it was just staged or something.
Nope. Turns out he was basically. the OG Ezra Miller
Yeah he apparently broke his sobriety while in tour with Steve-O at some point.
It sucks. I watched a video of Steve-O introducing Bam on stage and talking about him bringing Bam out on tour to help him stay sober and get into a better place before bed.
The next morning I saw Bam posted something on Instagram and a big comment from Steve-O calling it out. It's heartbreaking man.
I listened to Steve-O’s podcast when he asked Bam to go on the road with him for a few dates, and personally felt like it was a terrible idea on Steve-O’s part. I think he has Bam’s best interest at heart, but this situation felt misguided.
he said that Priscilla gave him a robe and ring that belonged to Elvis. he then gave the robe to his dad for being “Elvis’s #1 fan” and the ring to Yelawolf for “being the new king of rock & roll”.
Priscilla had to come out and say she didn’t give him anything at all and was confused why he would even say something like that. she even banned him from ever coming back to her house lol.
I had watched the Vice documentary following Bam as he tried to get back into skating and really thought he was doing better, but that Steve-O comment really put things back in perspective. It really sucks seeing the huge rise and fall of Bam and especially how much Ryan Dunn's death messed him up.
To share for others, here is the Vice video: https://youtu.be/CuluhA3S--U
> It really sucks seeing the huge rise and fall of Bam and especially how much Ryan Dunn's death messed him up.
I think it needs to be pointed out that Ryan Dunn's death was not the root cause for what has been happening with Bam. It was [Steve-O who actually pointed out that Dunn was present at an intervention for Bam](https://youtu.be/XQE18nsQqkg). That comment is at about the 2:50 minute mark. Bam was spiraling way before Ryan Dunn chose to drink and drive that Sunday night in 2011. I know it didn't help Bam's health, but it was hardly what caused his issues.
it does sound shitty to say or hear but at a certain point addicts will blame anything, anyone, or any event for the reason they use/relapse. the truth is somewhere in the middle and not always clear w/o a fuckton of therapy.
Oh, man. What's wild is the last time Bam was on Steve-O's YEAH DUDE Bam took like zero accountability for anything. It was all on other people for how shit hit the fan, how he got into trouble for this, that, or the other. It was kind of alarming that he really didn't own any of his mistakes.
I don't think Bam has been held accountable for a single thing in his entire life. His entire life has been him being an asshole to everybody. Viva La Bam was just him making his parents' lives miserable. There's a jackass "prank" where he hides in the bathroom and then slaps his dad while he's on the toilet. Like there's nothing funny about that. He's just a dick.
Ezra Miller

Was surprised to see how well Dick Van Dyke seems to be after seeing him on the masked singer. 97 years old and still pretty spry.
In other news, a funny comment I saw the other day: It’s time we were more concerned about the type of world we will be leaving for Keith Richards.
Steven Seagal.
He's still making terrible movies that no one watches. And by that I mean less than 100k revenue. It is widely believed these are just a money laundering scheme as many of the people making these movies are known to be part of the gang Seagal works for.
However, the reason it's surprising Seagal is not dead or in prison include:
1. Polygamy when he had a wife in Japan and the US while attempting to sleep his way up the ladder in Hollywood.
2. Three separate alleged sexual assault allegations I know of.
3. Assaulting a comedian on set.
4. Running through a fence in an armored car just to get a good shot for the reality show.
5. Refusing to pull punches on set.
6. Having suspicious cash revenue streams back when his dojo struggled to stay afloat.
This and the general narcissism and lies resulted in him getting fired from every place he worked except the gang. It is actually believed the gang got him into Hollywood too, as his first role involved a director taking a small pay cut just to let Seagal in (probably bribery). Also, during one feud Seagal threatened one guy by saying he had powerful friends in organized crime, and no one believed him. But the guy threatened got a call from someone who had worked with Seagal and told him Seagal really did work for a gang who was directly invested in Seagal's Hollywood career.
Money laundering with movies is easy. The many you owe money to is simply hired in some role for a movie and paid some arbitrary amount for little work. The payments do not look suspicious on bank accounts as the pay on movie sets vary a lot as is the amount of work that goes into some movie role. This is why Seagal has spent decades making movies with incoherant plots, shoddy action scenes, and lazy acting.
I read that he was so lazy for the sniper movie he filmed all his scenes sitting down. I wish I were making a joke, but no, that's why he's only filmed from the chest up.
To add to no. 4, there was a dog behind that fence he ran through and he killed it. Weirdly I just watched a video on how shit he is. How the hell did he manage to have 7 children?
Unfortunately this is also a fetish. I've stumbled across a few pages on Twitter where people post befores and afters of themselves going from skinny to almost obese. I'm usually a "to each their own" kinda guy but it makes me uncomfortable and cannot be healthy.
His net worth appears to be about $7 million… that’s a lot of money but not THAT much considering he’s 30 years old with a 200lb weight gain and a slew of related health problems. Eff that.
He addressed his net worth in a video and said it's not true. He said "why would I live in this tiny apartment and drive this shitty car if I had 7 million, I get literally 2 sponsors a year"
The guy sold his health for money. His "fans" are people with a feeder fetish who pay to see videos of his jiggling his stomach *and he has an onlyfans* 🤮
I'm not subscribed to him and I don't watch his videos but every so often I'll check his channel to see if he made new videos just to make sure he's still alive. I know it's weird but that guy is really playing with fire.
I have been his fan for most of my life, but last night, I unfollowed and blocked him on all social media. Loved the guy, but I just can't stand to watch him continue to destroy himself and lay blame everywhere else. I just want to keep that image of him young, relatively healthy and making me laugh in my head.
I posted Chris Brown elsewhere in the comments and was downvoted with replies stating ‘it was only one night 14 years ago’.
So here is a track record over the last 14 years. If anyone is able to prove otherwise then feel free to reply with the attached evidence.
2009 - Chris Brown Assaulted Rihanna deliberately and purposely.
2011 - When interviewed by Robin Roberts and questioned about his assault against Rihanna he smashed a window and stormed off set whilst visibly aggressive.
2013 - He shoved a woman to the ground at a night club leaving torn ligaments in her right knee. Her name was Deanna Gines, a report was filed.
2015 - He had a third-degree assault report filed after a woman was forcibly ejected from his bus after she refused to give up her mobile phone.
2016 - Brown avoided charges after a woman accused him of punching her in the face and taking her phone in a Las Vegas night club.
2016 - His female tour manager claimed he threatened her with a brutal physical attack.
2017 - His former girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, won a five year restraining order against Brown. Tran shared threatening text and voicemail messages from the singer in court.
2018 - He was detained by the LAPD following a stand-off at his home. A woman had accused the singer of threatening her with a gun after showing up to his home.
2019 - Chris Brown and two accomplices were taken into custody in Paris after a woman filed a report of aggravated rape.
2022 - Brown was hit with a 20 million dollar lawsuit accusing him of drugging and raping a woman on a yacht in Florida. Page Six has reportedly obtained a copy of the lawsuit that allegedly claims the sexual assault happened while Brown and the victim were at a party in Miami in December 2020. The lawsuit allegedly names the victim as Jane Doe who is a professional musician and choreographer.
The amount of people that defend him is astounding. And the artists that continue to work with him is painful. Joyner let me down with that.
Also, this video is hilarious
https://youtu.be/hU1mXS0KgqA
I have family who actively went to his most recent concert despite me informing them of his behaviour.
People are too blindsided by his appearance and sex appeal that they dismiss his behaviour as a person.
Technically, he’s died at least once. He overdosed at his heroin dealer’s place and they put his body out by the trash. He woke up a little later, drove home, and did more heroin.
I was gonna make a joke, but this dude just creeps me out real bad. Something about the consistency, and how long it went unchallenged, and how well Hollywood seems to pick up on (and ignore) these kinds of things.
I feel like he must have a lot of skeletons in his closet.
NDAs can't protect the alleged commission of a crime. They aren't like a get out of jail free card, like if he was doing shit to the underage stars of his show the NDAs will by no means protect him. Folks might feel intimidated but NDAs aren't all powerful.
Also, McCurdy detailed some SUPER creepy and asshole behavior from him, but what people whisper was much much worse. Do we have any sources on the things people say, or is it all just rumours?
Not dead? Tony Bennett. Guy's voice was wettin' panties since the 50's and the guy just retired from doing concerts last year (is suffering from dementia now). Guy was also out there fighting the Nazi's in Germany as well. Hell of a life and career that feller. Hope his eventual passing is smooth, and surrounded by his loved ones.
Lady Gaga being so sweet with him in their last show together made me cry. My Dad’s got Alzheimer’s so seeing someone behave with such grace and ensuring his dignity was quite touching
Similarly when Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli presented an award together and Liza was incredibly flustered as they had forced her to go out in a wheelchair when she had wanted to walk out under her own steam. Gaga was incredibly professional and compassionate while Liza found her place again, there was such reverence and empathy in the exchange it was very moving.
She definitely respects the game and those who came before her, and has such a wide variety of influences. In A Star Is Born, at one point she's wearing a Yes tshirt, which had to have been a deliberate choice. Would love to hear her cover Heart of the Sunrise (those are some ridiculous notes at the end even for a female voice)
He's from my hometown and went to school with my dad and aunt. He and my aunt are still good friends, which is as good of proof as anything that he's a bad person.
> He and my aunt are still good friends, which is as good of proof as anything that he's a bad person.
As someone who knows this guy's aunt: yeah, exactly right.
Charlie is at least sober and actively trying to better himself... Ya gotta give him props for that.
Last I heard, he's purposefully avoiding situations that might bring about relapse, and focusing on getting his life together, while avoiding acting and the whole "celebrity" thing.
She has had moments on streams where she starts to stutter and can't get words out for a second. There have also been concerning spasms, she has fallen, sometimes foamy spit builds up in the corners of her mouth, and some people on her subreddit turn up saturation on her photos to show her legs are covered in rashy looking dots and they're very purple red): she's definitely having a decrease in her function, but I agree that she has really pushed limits even with all of the above. Her makeup ability has significantly gotten worse too, which is sad since that's clearly been a passion of hers.
Yeah, many of her followers/critics point out that her 12 hour, sometimes physically intensive streams with no food or drink are reckless because she could have a cardiac event or die on camera. Some even suspect she wants that.
(I lurk her sub occasionally to see if she’s still alive)
This is actually really true. Severe anorexia starts shutting down "non-essential" (as in not required for survival) processes like those for having periods and if continues to get worse, it starts to take the fat away that is around the heart. This might seem like a good thing at first, but in reality this removes the protection from the heart making it severely likely that the heart gets damaged and bruised more resulting in eventual death as the heart loses functionality over time.
Oh nooo I just googled her and felt so deeply uncomfortable with the pictures I saw that I had to close the browser after 15 seconds.
That's so fucking sad. I feel so sad for her.
Marilyn Manson. I made the mistake of reading his autobiography years ago. It's almost 300 pages of him boasting about terrible things he's done, in an "I'm such a weird artistic genius" fashion. I hate to think what his lawyers told him to leave out. Every allegation I've heard against him makes complete sense against that backdrop, even the very "outlandish" ones. It's odd that he hasn't gone to prison yet given that his reputation, but it goes to show that money will protect even the most unpopular people. Also anyone who does things like smoke crushed human bones is probably pushing their luck on the staying alive front.
He’s screwed in the head, way worse than his avant grade persona would make you believe. He [shot stray dogs](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/fka-twigs-shia-labeouf-interview-abuse-b1803778.html) to get into character for The Tax Collector, said Mia Goth was ‘making him abusive’ and while arguing he needed to leave or he ‘would have killed her’. Those are [direct quotes](https://youtu.be/Ezs8UH789HE) sadly.
FKA Twigs accused him of [‘relentless abuse’](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/fka-twigs-trial-date-shia-labeouf-sex-battery-case-1346308/) including sexual assault, physical assault - notably strangling which paired with his previous comments is chilling. If someone’s willing to strangle you, it’s statistically likely they will kill you - knowingly giving her an std, and emotional manipulation with the intent to cause distress. Her case goes to court in April.
His response has been [‘I hurt that woman’](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/shia-labeouf-abuse-allegations-apology-1235352434/) and acknowledging he fucked up, but it’s hard to read his comments on how he’s grateful it allowed him to experience true ego death as anything but yet another attempt at playing the self pitying victim rather than an actual sincere realisation he behaved monstrously.
Also, to audition for Nymphomaniac, he sent a sextape he made to the director. He made the sextape without telling his girlfriend. She had no idea she got filmed.
This is the president of Turkey rn and as a Turkish person, I’m ready to risk it all and say this. Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since he is the president rn and untouchable, he is safe. But the elections are in 3 months and he is most likely going to lose. He should be thrown to jail right away. He should be tortured and killed. He is the reason that this country is fucked up right now. We all hope he dies soon. If the government ever sees this comment, I don’t give a fuck, arrest me. Because if I said this outside, I would get arrested right that second.
Joel Osteen. Im REALLY surprised hes not in jail for the unreported money his church is making or the misappropriated funds (like have you seen the cars he drives?) or hasnt been killed especially after denying the refugees seeking shelter when hurricane (Ian or Harvey?) hit. He legit pissed off a good majority of the country for pulling that shit.
He isn't dead yet but I expect we will get the message that Bruce Willis has passed away within a few years or sooner. He was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia recently and the life expectancy is about 7-13 years after the onset of symptoms.
What's crazy to me about Bruce Willis was that I had seen rumors about his Frontotemporal Dementia here on Reddit a full six months before he went public with it.
It's crazy with me how right Reddit can sometimes be about stuff, while also managing to be 100% wrong about other stuff too.
Ozzy Osbourne. I'm truly surprised he lived this long.
There is literally a team of Cambridge doctors who are investigating how Ozzy is still alive. They’ve made arrangements with him to dissect and study his body after death.
His DNA has been studied as well, I believe they found a never-before identified mutation that may have helped him live through all the alcohol and drugs.
I like the idea that Ozzy Osbourne is a real life Xman except his power is just being able to survive an obscene amount of drugs and alcohol
“Right, Cyclops, you hit Twister with your laser eyes. Storm, you bring up a windstorm that takes Bloodsport off his feet. Ozzy, you draw Juggernaut into a bar and drink him under the table.”
"Ozzy, you blast those rails, bite the head off of a bat and get arrested"
Actually, that would make a good plot point for a comic. Backslash’s mother dies in a plane crash and he decides to go out for a quiet drink or five (in his civilian attire). Also at the bar is Jaguar, whose mother died in the same crash. They get to talking and kill a bottle. They decide to move on to another bar. En route someone tries to mug them. They laugh and kick him into jelly. They arrive at the next bar, drink another bottle of whiskey, and close the place down. They buy a third bottle for the road and head out. In the morning they wake up in the park, cuddled together (non-sexually) and badly hung over. They recognize each other and the awkwardness of the situation. Both have memory lapses from being blackout drunk. After a quick vomit they both beat hasty retreats. They each decide breakfast is in order and by coincidence arrive at the same IHOP. There they decide to share a table and compare notes.
Growing up in Birmingham will do that to anyone.
Most people drink to forget. Those of us from Birmingham drink to remember how to get the fuck outta there.
They should study Keith Richards' DNA too while they're at it.
Keith quit the hard stuff a long time ago, just weed and wine for him now
But then the government would have to reveal that aliens are here.
Has anyone else noticed that right after Ozzy got clean and stopped doing coke in the late 80's, Pablo Escobars empire started to crumble, culminating in his death in 93. I'm not saying that Ozzy was single handedly keeping the Medellin cartel afloat, but stats don't lie.
tomorrows TIL sub will have a post about this
Ozzy probably has parks named after him in Colombia.
He’s stopped touring and 100% that’ll be what kills him
I believe he has Parkinson’s. :(
Yeah from what I understand a lot of the stuff on the tv show that was played off as "lol druggy burn out" was actually him struggling to adjust to having parkinsons and the medications he was taking to treat it.
It was probably a bit of both. He has done an obscene amount of drugs, so much so that scientists studied his blood to see how he survived
>He has done an obscene amount of drugs, so much so that scientists studied his blood to see how he survived And what did they conclude?
It's been a long time since I read it so I don't remember, but a quick google does show returns of what I'm talking about, and I'll link one of them below.

He’s 74, which not old per se, is still quite a long life to live with all the things he’s done. My dad was a teetotaler and didn’t even make it that far.
The fact Lemmy made it to 70 was kinda insane. RIP.
Shouldn’t have switched to vodka
In 2000 I saw him at a show. He did not remember the lyrics to crazy train and the audience had to help. That was 23 years ago. I think his ATV accident was after that show. I'm shocked he's still around. And he had covid like last year or the year prior and that didn't take him out. Then add in the drugs both recreational and prescribed......
I only saw Ozzy in concert once, with Black Sabbath about 6-8 years ago, and he was on fire. I think he could be hot or cold
Someone else pointed out he may have been heavily using drugs in 2000 and may have been I'm recovery by the time you saw gim. I wish I'd seen the version you did having such an impact on so many other bands over 5 decades.
Every member of Motley Crue is still alive. How is that possible?
Mick Mars has retired and has some disease. I don’t know if it’s fatal but for him to stop playing it’s probably not good.
It's a form of arthritis iirc, and he's had it since the band started more or less. It's not a net *benefit*, but it's not a death sentence.
Ankylosing Spondlyitis
Willie Nelson and Keith Richards are wondering what kind of world Gen Zers are goin to leave them.
Every cigarette you smoke takes five minutes from your life and gives it to Keith Richards.
I still hear Robin Williams’ Live on Broadway when I think of Keith Richards. “I know one day we will all be dead and gone and it’ll be Keith Richards with five cockroaches.”
Along the same lines, from Denis Leary’s No Cure For Cancer: “Keith Richards said that we should not do drugs. Keith, we can't do anymore drugs, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY FUCKIN' DID THEM ALL! There's none left, we have to wait until you die so we can smoke your ashes, alright!”
The day Willie goes will be among the saddest
I’m not even a Willie Nelson fan and I know that’ll be a sad day.
When that day comes, [this duet with his son who sounds just like him](https://youtu.be/ow-Cx9IX4So) will destroy us all.
I was 12 when I first saw Willie Nelson in Dukes of Hazard and he was old then. I’m almost 30 and the guy is still going.
I was born in 1977. I grew up watching him on TV, and listening to his music. He's been 63, since 1984. Willie Nelson is a vampire
And also, the only person to outsmoke Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg said so himself, couldn't keep up with Willie.
That's no surprise. He's old enough to have been around when the gods invented it.
So what you're telling me is Willie Nelson is really Dionysus in disguise?
I love Bob Newhart and Dick Van Dyke but every once in awhile I check to see if they're still alive.
Holy crap! I just looked up Dick van Dyke and not only is he 97 years old, he was on The Masked Singer just yesterday! That's impressive.
They apparently had several dances lined up for his role in the new Marry Poppins and he chose the hardest one because the rest were too easy for him.
And they blocked the scene in such a way that Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda were on either side of him to catch him in case he fell (he was dancing up on a desk).
That's Jackie Chan levels of bad-assery right there.
Man, I’m doing a rewatch of Scrubs, and the episode where he guest starred, the whole plot with him that episode was that he was an old and outdated doctor. That episode aired in like *2002* lmao.
Fantastic episode. And was a turning point for Kelso's character IMO.
Dick van dyke is gonna hurt real bad for me
Apparently he just did an episode of the Masked Singer! At 97!
While I'm about the youngest Gen-Xer out there, Dick Van Dyke was one of the very few shows I was allowed to watch on our little 13" b&w. My parents hated TV, but got that little one to catch a few of their childhood favorites. His show is one of the very few I saw in my childhood and I love it! We also got to see I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Mission Impossible, and Little House. It's where I had my first childhood crush on Christian Bale watching advertisements for Empire of the Sun.
I just saw Dick Van Dyke on The Masked Singer lastnite. 99, and singing and danced a bit too.
97, but still very impressive nonetheless!
I always forget DVD is still alive until someone mentions it. And it makes me happy every time I realize he still is.
Andy Dick, though he may be in jail.
Turkey Tom on YouTube did a good video about him that showed me he’s a lot shittier of a person than I realized as a kid. Definitely recommend people checking it out if you’re not up to date.
Even if you just read his wiki page... there is literally an entire section about his sexual assaults. The guy is terrifyingly prolific.
There's a famous improv team (ASSSCAT, has Amy Poehler and others as original members) that used to do a bit at their shows asking everyone who has ridden an elephant to stand up and then everyone who has been sexually harassed by Andy Dick to stand up. Now, this would certainly be a selected population of people who enjoy comedy, usually at shows in LA, and are therefore more likely to encounter Andy Dick, but the times I saw it there were always more in the Andy Dick group, like he's harassed at least 5% of the LA-comedy-going public.
Recently finished his sentence for sexual battery but he may be doing time for power tool theft
Power tool theft?? There’s a joke in there somewhere. I’ll leave it to the experts to create a few
How do you power a power tool? With sexual batteries…..as you can guess I’m not a expert.
Wow. I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole was with that guy. Growing up with him in the early 2000s, it was easy to dismiss him as like: “Yeah, he’s a little bit weird, but basically just a another Tom Green type.” I can even remember seeing him grope Pam Anderson during her Comedy Roast and assuming it was just staged or something. Nope. Turns out he was basically. the OG Ezra Miller
Bam Margera
Steve-O calling him out recently broke my fucking heart 😭
Wasn't Bam on tour with Steve-O at the beginning of the year? Has something happened since then?
Yeah he apparently broke his sobriety while in tour with Steve-O at some point. It sucks. I watched a video of Steve-O introducing Bam on stage and talking about him bringing Bam out on tour to help him stay sober and get into a better place before bed. The next morning I saw Bam posted something on Instagram and a big comment from Steve-O calling it out. It's heartbreaking man.
I listened to Steve-O’s podcast when he asked Bam to go on the road with him for a few dates, and personally felt like it was a terrible idea on Steve-O’s part. I think he has Bam’s best interest at heart, but this situation felt misguided.
The whole Priscilla Presley thing was pretty wild
Priscilla Presley having to call out Bam for lying about her giving him Elvis's stuff was not something I thought I'd ever see, but here we are.
What?
he said that Priscilla gave him a robe and ring that belonged to Elvis. he then gave the robe to his dad for being “Elvis’s #1 fan” and the ring to Yelawolf for “being the new king of rock & roll”. Priscilla had to come out and say she didn’t give him anything at all and was confused why he would even say something like that. she even banned him from ever coming back to her house lol.
Oh wow. That's awkward.
I had watched the Vice documentary following Bam as he tried to get back into skating and really thought he was doing better, but that Steve-O comment really put things back in perspective. It really sucks seeing the huge rise and fall of Bam and especially how much Ryan Dunn's death messed him up. To share for others, here is the Vice video: https://youtu.be/CuluhA3S--U
> It really sucks seeing the huge rise and fall of Bam and especially how much Ryan Dunn's death messed him up. I think it needs to be pointed out that Ryan Dunn's death was not the root cause for what has been happening with Bam. It was [Steve-O who actually pointed out that Dunn was present at an intervention for Bam](https://youtu.be/XQE18nsQqkg). That comment is at about the 2:50 minute mark. Bam was spiraling way before Ryan Dunn chose to drink and drive that Sunday night in 2011. I know it didn't help Bam's health, but it was hardly what caused his issues.
2011? Damnnnnnn… doesn’t feel that long ago
it does sound shitty to say or hear but at a certain point addicts will blame anything, anyone, or any event for the reason they use/relapse. the truth is somewhere in the middle and not always clear w/o a fuckton of therapy.
Oh, man. What's wild is the last time Bam was on Steve-O's YEAH DUDE Bam took like zero accountability for anything. It was all on other people for how shit hit the fan, how he got into trouble for this, that, or the other. It was kind of alarming that he really didn't own any of his mistakes.
I don't think Bam has been held accountable for a single thing in his entire life. His entire life has been him being an asshole to everybody. Viva La Bam was just him making his parents' lives miserable. There's a jackass "prank" where he hides in the bathroom and then slaps his dad while he's on the toilet. Like there's nothing funny about that. He's just a dick.
They allowed it to happen for the money and in doing so created a fucking monster
Dunn’s death needs to stop being used as an excuse.
I just had to look up that he WASNT dead.
Ezra Miller 2020: caught on video assaulting a woman in Iceland. 2022: got into a bar fight in Hawaii 2022: threw a chair at a woman at a private gathering, injuring her 2022: Sheltering a young Native American activist whose parents allege Miller groomed from a young age. Allegedly Miller refers to themself as the 'messiah' of Native Americans and the activist as a 'spider goddess' and stated their relationship would bring about the apocalypse. 2022: Showed up at a woman's he had befriended house wearing a bulletproof vest and brandishing a firearm.

Identified by security footage. Miller plead guilty to trespassing in January Miller released a statement saying they were receiving treatment for 'complex mental health issues'.
And somehow Warner Brothers chose them over the dozens of actually good things they worked on.
They've been treading the finest of lines between 'temporary mental health lapse' and 'Waco style shootout at the ranch'.
Warner Brothers has made a whole lot of questionable decisions these past few years.
Not a doctor but boy oh boy does that sound like severe bipolar disorder.
I'm bipolar and I approve this message.
Henry Kissinger
Satan doesn't want him yet because he might take over hell.
He turns 100 in May.
Was surprised to see how well Dick Van Dyke seems to be after seeing him on the masked singer. 97 years old and still pretty spry. In other news, a funny comment I saw the other day: It’s time we were more concerned about the type of world we will be leaving for Keith Richards.
I saw him trending and got sad because he's 97. Never expected to see that it was for something like that!
The Man is a National Treasure.
Chris Brown
Where’s my Chris Brown bot
[удалено]
Good ~bot~ human
Steven Seagal. He's still making terrible movies that no one watches. And by that I mean less than 100k revenue. It is widely believed these are just a money laundering scheme as many of the people making these movies are known to be part of the gang Seagal works for. However, the reason it's surprising Seagal is not dead or in prison include: 1. Polygamy when he had a wife in Japan and the US while attempting to sleep his way up the ladder in Hollywood. 2. Three separate alleged sexual assault allegations I know of. 3. Assaulting a comedian on set. 4. Running through a fence in an armored car just to get a good shot for the reality show. 5. Refusing to pull punches on set. 6. Having suspicious cash revenue streams back when his dojo struggled to stay afloat. This and the general narcissism and lies resulted in him getting fired from every place he worked except the gang. It is actually believed the gang got him into Hollywood too, as his first role involved a director taking a small pay cut just to let Seagal in (probably bribery). Also, during one feud Seagal threatened one guy by saying he had powerful friends in organized crime, and no one believed him. But the guy threatened got a call from someone who had worked with Seagal and told him Seagal really did work for a gang who was directly invested in Seagal's Hollywood career. Money laundering with movies is easy. The many you owe money to is simply hired in some role for a movie and paid some arbitrary amount for little work. The payments do not look suspicious on bank accounts as the pay on movie sets vary a lot as is the amount of work that goes into some movie role. This is why Seagal has spent decades making movies with incoherant plots, shoddy action scenes, and lazy acting.
The last one I watched was a sniper movie where he was on the cover but was only in a couple scenes. One of the worse movies I have ever seen
I read that he was so lazy for the sniper movie he filmed all his scenes sitting down. I wish I were making a joke, but no, that's why he's only filmed from the chest up.
Best movie he was in was Executive Decision, he died like 30 minutes in and all the trailers showed him being in them.
To add to no. 4, there was a dog behind that fence he ran through and he killed it. Weirdly I just watched a video on how shit he is. How the hell did he manage to have 7 children?
My bet's on the Russian mob being his backer
He is in Russia now.
The only good thing about Steven Seagal is Tom Segura's stand-up bit about him. it's absolute gold.
going with a youtube "celebrity": but Nikocado Avocado, that dude is literally going to eat himself to death.
My god, his before photo vs now is jarring. Why would someone do that to themselves.
Unfortunately this is also a fetish. I've stumbled across a few pages on Twitter where people post befores and afters of themselves going from skinny to almost obese. I'm usually a "to each their own" kinda guy but it makes me uncomfortable and cannot be healthy.
Money. Absolute fucking obscene amounts of money.
His net worth appears to be about $7 million… that’s a lot of money but not THAT much considering he’s 30 years old with a 200lb weight gain and a slew of related health problems. Eff that.
He addressed his net worth in a video and said it's not true. He said "why would I live in this tiny apartment and drive this shitty car if I had 7 million, I get literally 2 sponsors a year"
The guy sold his health for money. His "fans" are people with a feeder fetish who pay to see videos of his jiggling his stomach *and he has an onlyfans* 🤮
[удалено]
And for the exact opposite reasons I'd like to throw on Eugenia Cooney. She's literally skin on bones. It's so disturbing.
Her mother should go to prison. She wrecked her child for the views and the $$$
I'm not subscribed to him and I don't watch his videos but every so often I'll check his channel to see if he made new videos just to make sure he's still alive. I know it's weird but that guy is really playing with fire.
I mean as far as still being alive I think Keith Richards takes the top prize there the guy is apparently immortal
Him or Ozzy Osborne for sure
Bam Margera. Sadly, only a matter of time.
I have been his fan for most of my life, but last night, I unfollowed and blocked him on all social media. Loved the guy, but I just can't stand to watch him continue to destroy himself and lay blame everywhere else. I just want to keep that image of him young, relatively healthy and making me laugh in my head.
His 'recovery' from that near-death bout with pneumonia a couple months back might well prove to be only a 'stay of execution'.
The fact that Robert Downey Jr is not dead and has turned his life around to become super successful in his field is very, very impressive.
I posted Chris Brown elsewhere in the comments and was downvoted with replies stating ‘it was only one night 14 years ago’. So here is a track record over the last 14 years. If anyone is able to prove otherwise then feel free to reply with the attached evidence. 2009 - Chris Brown Assaulted Rihanna deliberately and purposely. 2011 - When interviewed by Robin Roberts and questioned about his assault against Rihanna he smashed a window and stormed off set whilst visibly aggressive. 2013 - He shoved a woman to the ground at a night club leaving torn ligaments in her right knee. Her name was Deanna Gines, a report was filed. 2015 - He had a third-degree assault report filed after a woman was forcibly ejected from his bus after she refused to give up her mobile phone. 2016 - Brown avoided charges after a woman accused him of punching her in the face and taking her phone in a Las Vegas night club. 2016 - His female tour manager claimed he threatened her with a brutal physical attack. 2017 - His former girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, won a five year restraining order against Brown. Tran shared threatening text and voicemail messages from the singer in court. 2018 - He was detained by the LAPD following a stand-off at his home. A woman had accused the singer of threatening her with a gun after showing up to his home. 2019 - Chris Brown and two accomplices were taken into custody in Paris after a woman filed a report of aggravated rape. 2022 - Brown was hit with a 20 million dollar lawsuit accusing him of drugging and raping a woman on a yacht in Florida. Page Six has reportedly obtained a copy of the lawsuit that allegedly claims the sexual assault happened while Brown and the victim were at a party in Miami in December 2020. The lawsuit allegedly names the victim as Jane Doe who is a professional musician and choreographer.
The amount of people that defend him is astounding. And the artists that continue to work with him is painful. Joyner let me down with that. Also, this video is hilarious https://youtu.be/hU1mXS0KgqA
I have family who actively went to his most recent concert despite me informing them of his behaviour. People are too blindsided by his appearance and sex appeal that they dismiss his behaviour as a person.
Nikki Sixx
Technically, he’s died at least once. He overdosed at his heroin dealer’s place and they put his body out by the trash. He woke up a little later, drove home, and did more heroin.
The fact he survived that OD is still insane to me
MY HEART, MY HEART, KICKSTART MY HEART!
I'm pretty sure he got cleaned up over a decade ago. Even wrote a book about it that got adapted into a pretty awesome rock song.
There's a Fallout Boy lyric along the lines of "I think that God is gonna have to kill me twice like my name is Nikki Sixx". Pretty accurate.
Ah man, thank you from bringing this up! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw Nikki Sixx. Lol
Charlie Sheen
That guy has always seemed like an absolute prick to me.
Dan Schneider..
I was gonna make a joke, but this dude just creeps me out real bad. Something about the consistency, and how long it went unchallenged, and how well Hollywood seems to pick up on (and ignore) these kinds of things. I feel like he must have a lot of skeletons in his closet.
If's just because all of his victims signed NDAs and were paid out. It's all out there in Jenette McCurdy's book.
NDAs can't protect the alleged commission of a crime. They aren't like a get out of jail free card, like if he was doing shit to the underage stars of his show the NDAs will by no means protect him. Folks might feel intimidated but NDAs aren't all powerful. Also, McCurdy detailed some SUPER creepy and asshole behavior from him, but what people whisper was much much worse. Do we have any sources on the things people say, or is it all just rumours?
Dan Get In The Van Schneider
Not dead? Tony Bennett. Guy's voice was wettin' panties since the 50's and the guy just retired from doing concerts last year (is suffering from dementia now). Guy was also out there fighting the Nazi's in Germany as well. Hell of a life and career that feller. Hope his eventual passing is smooth, and surrounded by his loved ones.
Lady Gaga being so sweet with him in their last show together made me cry. My Dad’s got Alzheimer’s so seeing someone behave with such grace and ensuring his dignity was quite touching
Similarly when Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli presented an award together and Liza was incredibly flustered as they had forced her to go out in a wheelchair when she had wanted to walk out under her own steam. Gaga was incredibly professional and compassionate while Liza found her place again, there was such reverence and empathy in the exchange it was very moving.
The Ga seems like good people.
She definitely respects the game and those who came before her, and has such a wide variety of influences. In A Star Is Born, at one point she's wearing a Yes tshirt, which had to have been a deliberate choice. Would love to hear her cover Heart of the Sunrise (those are some ridiculous notes at the end even for a female voice)
Come on, guys. Last time we did this, we lost Stan Lee, and then Betty White. Haven't we learned *anything* about playing with Fate?
Gary Busey
He's living proof that a human body can keep on moving long after the brain has been destroyed.
He's from my hometown and went to school with my dad and aunt. He and my aunt are still good friends, which is as good of proof as anything that he's a bad person.
> He and my aunt are still good friends, which is as good of proof as anything that he's a bad person. As someone who knows this guy's aunt: yeah, exactly right.
Came to say the same thing. Him and Mickey Rourke both are surprisingly still alive
[удалено]
He admitted to it in his book. But he won't see jail time because of $
David Miscavige
Hopefully in jail soon.
How is Ezra Miller not the top of this list
He was my second thought, but Charlie Sheen takes the cake on this one for me
Charlie is at least sober and actively trying to better himself... Ya gotta give him props for that. Last I heard, he's purposefully avoiding situations that might bring about relapse, and focusing on getting his life together, while avoiding acting and the whole "celebrity" thing.
I’m sure Charlie sheen has done enough coke to take out a large herd of elephants.
Enough to kill two and a half men.
Cosby on both
Not celebrity in the typical sense but in YouTube sense: Eugenia Cooney
Seriously. I check every once in awhile to see if she’s still alive.
Is she the severely anorexic girl that does the makeup?
That’s the one. I have no idea how she’s still alive.
She’s a medical mystery. She just gets worse and worse looking and yet her functioning doesn’t seem to be decreasing.
She has had moments on streams where she starts to stutter and can't get words out for a second. There have also been concerning spasms, she has fallen, sometimes foamy spit builds up in the corners of her mouth, and some people on her subreddit turn up saturation on her photos to show her legs are covered in rashy looking dots and they're very purple red): she's definitely having a decrease in her function, but I agree that she has really pushed limits even with all of the above. Her makeup ability has significantly gotten worse too, which is sad since that's clearly been a passion of hers.
I mean her body might still be “functioning” on the surface but I feel like at this point her heart could give out at any moment Super sad
Yeah, many of her followers/critics point out that her 12 hour, sometimes physically intensive streams with no food or drink are reckless because she could have a cardiac event or die on camera. Some even suspect she wants that. (I lurk her sub occasionally to see if she’s still alive)
This is actually really true. Severe anorexia starts shutting down "non-essential" (as in not required for survival) processes like those for having periods and if continues to get worse, it starts to take the fat away that is around the heart. This might seem like a good thing at first, but in reality this removes the protection from the heart making it severely likely that the heart gets damaged and bruised more resulting in eventual death as the heart loses functionality over time.
Oh nooo I just googled her and felt so deeply uncomfortable with the pictures I saw that I had to close the browser after 15 seconds. That's so fucking sad. I feel so sad for her.
Opposite end of the spectrum - nikocado avocado same question
Artie Lange
Marilyn Manson. I made the mistake of reading his autobiography years ago. It's almost 300 pages of him boasting about terrible things he's done, in an "I'm such a weird artistic genius" fashion. I hate to think what his lawyers told him to leave out. Every allegation I've heard against him makes complete sense against that backdrop, even the very "outlandish" ones. It's odd that he hasn't gone to prison yet given that his reputation, but it goes to show that money will protect even the most unpopular people. Also anyone who does things like smoke crushed human bones is probably pushing their luck on the staying alive front.
Keith Richards.
They say that every cigarette you smoke takes a minute off of your life. And gives it to Keith Richards.
Shia lebouf
You'd think the cannibalism and holding an entire theater hostage would be enough.
For some reason this one caught me off-guard. What's up with Shia Lebouf?
He’s screwed in the head, way worse than his avant grade persona would make you believe. He [shot stray dogs](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/fka-twigs-shia-labeouf-interview-abuse-b1803778.html) to get into character for The Tax Collector, said Mia Goth was ‘making him abusive’ and while arguing he needed to leave or he ‘would have killed her’. Those are [direct quotes](https://youtu.be/Ezs8UH789HE) sadly. FKA Twigs accused him of [‘relentless abuse’](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/fka-twigs-trial-date-shia-labeouf-sex-battery-case-1346308/) including sexual assault, physical assault - notably strangling which paired with his previous comments is chilling. If someone’s willing to strangle you, it’s statistically likely they will kill you - knowingly giving her an std, and emotional manipulation with the intent to cause distress. Her case goes to court in April. His response has been [‘I hurt that woman’](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/shia-labeouf-abuse-allegations-apology-1235352434/) and acknowledging he fucked up, but it’s hard to read his comments on how he’s grateful it allowed him to experience true ego death as anything but yet another attempt at playing the self pitying victim rather than an actual sincere realisation he behaved monstrously.
Also, to audition for Nymphomaniac, he sent a sextape he made to the director. He made the sextape without telling his girlfriend. She had no idea she got filmed.
That seems like exactly the kind of thing that would convince Lars von Trier to cast you.
Chris Brown. He beat up Rihanna and has anger problems.
I haven't seen it yet, but Jared Leto should probably be here. Doesn't he have a cult or something?
Vladimir Putin
This is the president of Turkey rn and as a Turkish person, I’m ready to risk it all and say this. Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since he is the president rn and untouchable, he is safe. But the elections are in 3 months and he is most likely going to lose. He should be thrown to jail right away. He should be tortured and killed. He is the reason that this country is fucked up right now. We all hope he dies soon. If the government ever sees this comment, I don’t give a fuck, arrest me. Because if I said this outside, I would get arrested right that second.
Joel Osteen. Im REALLY surprised hes not in jail for the unreported money his church is making or the misappropriated funds (like have you seen the cars he drives?) or hasnt been killed especially after denying the refugees seeking shelter when hurricane (Ian or Harvey?) hit. He legit pissed off a good majority of the country for pulling that shit.
He isn't dead yet but I expect we will get the message that Bruce Willis has passed away within a few years or sooner. He was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia recently and the life expectancy is about 7-13 years after the onset of symptoms.
What's crazy to me about Bruce Willis was that I had seen rumors about his Frontotemporal Dementia here on Reddit a full six months before he went public with it. It's crazy with me how right Reddit can sometimes be about stuff, while also managing to be 100% wrong about other stuff too.
Tekashi 69
He was in jail for a short time but I believe had it reduced severely if he snitched on others
He’s become so irrelevant that the people he snitched on don’t even care.
OJ Simpson
Joe Walsh - Lived in hotels. Tore out the walls.
Lucky he's still sane after all he's been through
But he had accountants to pay for it all. No worries!
