I've kinda always been jealous of guys who have the opportunity to die piloting an F1 car flat out through Eau Rougue at Spa.

Now that's a way to go.

I respect guys like Jim Clark who are the best there is and know the limits of the car and what they are capable of, and crash and die when something unforseeable to them goes wrong. I have a harder time understanding why someone who, in many other ways may be brilliant, crashes and dies including maybe others because they were out for kicks and didn't know what they were doing.

The massuese, according to this morning's NYTimes, may have been thinking about her own potential problem: she wasn't licensed, and the unlicensed practice of massage is a felony in NYS. I'll have to borrow somebody's Post to get the full story.

If Rudy was still mayor you could bet that this scourge would have been eliminated. (Unlicensed massage, that is, not the Post.)

Not shocked and not naive here. Reports coming in that Michelle Williams left Heath and was working for sole custody and why? He was a junkie, alcohol, cocaine, heroin and assorted pills. It was clear to the human eyes the young man had a serious drug problem:

Here is one for you:

Jean Bugatti crashed the Typ 57 C Tank he was test-driving – the same car that had just recently won the 24-hour race at Le Mans. At more than 200 km/h, he had to swerve to avoid hitting a bicyclist coming out of a country lane. He lost control of the car, hit a tree, and died on the spot. At the time of his tragic death, Jean Bugatti was only 30 years old.

Jean Bugatti died driving a Bugatti at 130 MPH. Avoiding a cyclist no less.
Now that takes money and class....

Viper - you linked 3 different articles that all quote the same source -
US Weekly
Why not go straight to the authoritative primary (anonymous) source?
It is their EXCLUSIVE!

I guess it can happen to anyone

NEW YORK -- The medical examiner has concluded that actor Heath Ledger's death was an accident, and the result of the abuse of prescription medications.

The medical examiner released results of the toxicology report Wednesday, saying Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of six drugs, including pain killers, sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety drugs.

Prescriptive or non, he overdosed on drugs and he's dead. Drugs didn't kill Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger killed Heath Ledger. Same for Anna Nicole and the rest who die in that fashion.
