Meanest Story nominee: Larry Hagman fighting deadly disease!

Publication: Globe
Date: 31 Oct. 2011

In March, the low rent Examiner said Larry Hagman had Alzheimer's. Now, the Globe says he is battling a deadly disease. This puts him on the tabloid death watch and makes this count as a Meanest Story of the Week.

Best wishes to Larry Hagman, his family and friends, from a fan of I Dream of Jeannie.

Meanest Story nominee: Larry Hagman's Alzheimer's Agony

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 28 March 2011

Welcome to gossip hell, Larry Hagman! As usual, the low rent Examiner thinks its target demographic want to hear bad news about people who were famous back before I graduated high school, and for the record, I'm old!

Hagman had health issues due to liver disease back in the 1990s, but there hasn't been a lot of news about him since then. The low rent Examiner says he has Alzheimer's Disease, which does not count as a Brave Last Days alert, but for me, that would be the worst diagnosis possible, so this gets a nomination for Meanest Story of the Week.

Best wishes to Mr. Hagman, his family and friends, from a fan of I Dream of Jeannie.
