Demon Drugs alert: James Garner, 83, is a pot head!

Publication: Globe

Date: 21 Nov. 2011

It says something when the nicest story about a person all year is that he's a doper, but that is the case with James Garner and the supermarket rags.  They quote a "tell all book" that says the movie and TV star smokes the herb.

Every other story said he was a dead man.

Meanest Story nominee: Five MORE celebs get the Sad Last Days treatment.

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 27 June 2011

The low rent Examiner had their usual big cover page to fill and their typical lack of actual reporters to find stories, so they just picked five names of celebrities who have been famous a very long time and report to us that they are on their last legs. Four of these actors are new to the Brave Last Days treatment, one is a repeat customer.

New to the list is Maureen O'Hara, still the gold standard when it comes to red-headed fabulosity in Hollywood.


Also new is Peter Falk.

UPDATE: Peter Falk died a week after this story appeared on Friday, June 24, 2011.


Jack Klugman hasn't looked or sounded very good for a while, but he's still with us.


Angela Lansbury has been mentioned in the tabs over the past two years, but this is the first report of her imminent demise.


And last on the list is James Garner. This is the third time the tabloids have said he was gonna die in the past two years, the first time back in May of 2010.

Best wishes to all the stars, their family and friends, from a fan.

This is a nominee for Meanest Story of the Week.

Brave Last Days Alert: Doris Day comforts dying James Garner.

Publication: Globe
Date: 11 April 2011

I haven't been able to find a copy of the low rent Examiner in Oakland this week, so if we want to hear about stars from the 1960s on their last legs, we'll just have to do with the Globe. According to this Wicked Step Sister, Doris Day has reached out to comfort her co-star from Move Over, Darling and The Thrill of it All, since they say he is going to die soon.

The Globe had a Brave Last Days alert for Mr. Garner back in May 2010. Ms. Day has been slated for death three times in 2010 by the Globe and once this year by the low rent Examiner.

Best wishes to all involved.
