hollybrookeIt's time for my Annual Celebrity Death Pool!
10. Mickey Rooney.
9. Christopher Plummer (We were watching the cast of The Sound of Music on Oprah last week, and we totally forgot just how OLD he is.)
8. Chuck Berry (And word is he collapsed on stage in Chicago the other night...)
7. Doris Day
6. Kirk Douglas (And NOT Michael; last I heard, he's actually getting better)
5. Jerry Lee Lewis
4. Angela Lansbury (I know, I'm cruel, but she's older than we realize.)
3. Jack LaLaine (He can't be hawking those juicers forever.)
2. Andy Rooney
And number one....I hate to make her my number one pick, but Aretha Franklin. She's been reported to have pancreatic cancer, and that's one of the tougher forms of cancer to treat.
HONORABLE MENTION? Elizabeth Taylor, of course. She'll probably outlive us all! (Her and Willie Nelson and Hugh Hefner.)

And my predictions are very rarely right, but last year I had a record of FOUR of my predictions pass away (Patrick Swayze--but then again, everyone knew how bad his cancer was, he was kind of a given; Fess Parker; the old lady from "Titanic"; and Rue McClanahan).
And did you know Martha Stewart is SEVENTY?!
