I thought this was a topic to predict who you think is going to die this year. It's not, but anyway my money's on Elizabeth Taylor, Patrick Swayze and Karl Malden (actor from the 50s. He wasn't in any of the Saw films, so most of you will have no idea).

Do I get a bonus point for my Nostradamus-like prediction?

Oh, and Pina Bausch is dead. Shame. The woman was a ****ing genius. I'm not that into dance, but she was awesome when I saw her.
