Man, everyone is dying! I was never a big Swayze fan, but he seemed like a nice guy.
One story that did really take me by surprise was the death of REAL celebrity chef Keith Floyd! Dude was only diagnosed in June this year, so sad. I never rated his cooking much, but lots of people who know thought he was good, so i was probably just not paying attention. Regardless, he had personality, a great sense of humour, and made for compelling viewing, even if you weren't into food. In a totally different league to todays 'TV chefs' (I'm looking at you Kylie Kwong and Masterchef Australia!). He even handled his alcoholism with a frankness and dignity that i don't think you'd find in todays 'TV personalities' who mostly just seem to be famous for being famous. Anyone know what Nicole Richie actually does? No, me neither.

Gordon Ramsey is frank and unapologetic about his swearing and general doos-ness. He's still just a doos.
"she's like the wind...." the man was a genius :)
In all seriousness though, I did love both DDs (Dirty Dancing/Donny Darko) and thought he was great in both!
floyd and I were not close, so respectfully I nod but I cannot comment.
I disagree. Gordon Ramsey is anything but direct about his failings (I dont think he sees his swearing as a failing, its a marketing ploy). I dont remember him being forthright with anybody about boning his PA, but maybe i wasnt listening.
I thought Floyd was entertaining and reminds me of my childhood (or the bad old days)when a drunk tv person was fine and things weren't so pc.
