I'm more urgently concerned to get fractional credit if Zsa-Zsa has another amputation this year. Every little bit helps!

For the Les Paul, Kalishnikov debate, but to me it is a no brainer that he was famous enough - http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/2...an-cymbal.html .

Uncle Vernon's death was covered in People magazine. I think that makes him de facto a celebrity.

Then we'd have to rename the death pool to Notable Persons Death Pool, not Celebrity Death Pool.

But it's NCS's game and I'd go along with whatever rules she makes.

You, however, don't get to make the rules!
