2010:A bad year to be famous

It appears that 2010 hasn't been a good year at all for celebrities. So far, there have been four deaths. Pete Steele, Dio, Paul Gray, and most recently, Gary Coleman, who died yesterday.

Gary Coleman, the actor who as a child star of the television comedy “Diff’rent Strokes” made “What’choo talkin ’bout, Willis?” a catchphrase of the 1980s, has died. He was 42.

The death was reported by CBS News, citing the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, where Mr. Coleman had been hospitalized after an injury.

A diminutive actor who stood at 4 feet eight inches, Mr. Coleman became a star at age 10 for his role on “Diff’rent Strokes.” The show, which had its debut in 1978, cast him as Arnold Jackson, the younger of two children adopted by the millionaire Philip Drummond (played by Conrad Bain). The show ran for eight years on NBC and ABC.

In 1989, Mr. Coleman sued his adopted parents for mismanaging the money he made on the show and won a settlement, but later filed for bankruptcy. He continued to appear in brief film and television roles, often as himself, and often poking fun at his grownup struggles.

Since bad news/luck comes in threes, then which two celebrities are next on Deaths list for 2010?

Personally, I didn't find out about these deaths from the news. I've read about them on the Facebook fan page for Foamy the Squirrel. So, there could be some more celeb deaths that happened in 2010 that I didn't read about. I only know about these four at the moment.

If anyone knows of any other well-known celebrity deaths, please share. Also, feel free to share thought on which well-known celebrity may be next on Death's list, and please be serious! I've seen some of the comments on the Foamy fan page. A lot of people have just been posting who they WANT dead, such as Simon Cowell, and Paris Hilton. I don't really want to know peoples' wishes. To be honest, that type of thing is heartless. No-one should wish death upon someone.

There are loads of celebrities that people may hate; I know I hate a few. But, you shouldn't wish death upon them. If you think about it, there could be people who hate you, and are wishing death upon you. How would you feel?
