Deaths and Mishaps: Name, Sound, and Letter Systems

Before proceeding further, I must make one statement. Thus far, the only endangered person with whom I had enough clues (from both Nostradamus and my own system of numerology) to make a positive identification in advance was Princess Diana. This is because Nostradamus actually named her. I have the name of only one other individual who will be in danger in the near future, but no definite date: singer/actress Madonna. Again as with Diana, Nostradamus provides her name -- base 7 numerology may provide the time.

It may be that other names are to be found in Nostradamus' prophesies that I will discover in good time. In the meantime there is only numerology, speculation based on historical trends, Nostradamus quatrains that are descriptive but do not provide a name, and these strange relationships between words and letters. The first such system that was developed was the "More" and "F" system.

The Origins of the "More" and "F" System

Those of us who remember the late 1960s and early 1970s well know that the period was marked by more than the Vietnam War, peace protests, and the rock and drug culture (although the last phenomenon listed partially contributed to the trend I am about to discuss). For those of us who were in adolescence it was our introduction to the shock of seeing celebrities we had grown to love, emulate, or simply had grown up with suddenly topple over one by one like a gruesome row of dominoes.

Certainly as young children or infants we had already been exposed -- whether or not we were aware of it -- to the earthshaking and tragic deaths of seemingly immortal men and women: James Dean, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Jayne Mansfield, Martin Luther King, Robert F. Kennedy. Jaded Beatles fans -- or perhaps the Beatles themselves -- subjected us to a Paul McCartney death scare. Then a crazed convict who claimed to be Christ and Satan roled into one selected the Beatles' most unusual album and used it to perpetrate the most heinous, tragic, and brutal murders of this century.

It was late 1969 when a series of inexplicable young celebrity deaths began. Rolling Stones drummer Brian Jones was discovered drowned at the bottom of his swimming pool. He had taken LSD and confused the water he was sucking into his lungs for air. Judy Garland, Dorothy of Kansas, succumbed to depression and her addiction to sedatives and alcohol, disappearing into Oz forever. Summer came and began fading to autumn. Like two shots echoing in the night Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were no more, their music and voices stilled, leaving their brief legacy behind in short stacks of vinyl and a few reels of film.

1971 came and crawled slowly along in the manner that years tend to pass for the very young. The noise of graduation parties and post-graduation parties filled the air, competing with the sound of private fireworks displays. Not long after, like a disturbing flash of de ja vu, the news was reported: Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, was found dead in a bathtub by his girlfriend -- a drug overdose victim (friends insist it was a heart attack) at the incredibly young age of 27. Morrison, originally a poet before being persuaded to join his famed rock band, was the most prolific of the three rock superstars who had died in the space of only ten months.

It seemed to end there and then: death that shocked, death that disturbed, death that saddened finally had played its trump card. For popular culture, this appeared to be true for a short time. But for those who read and wrote poetry, once a major domain of popular culture until the suicide death of Sylvia Plath in 1963 and the posthumous release of the final collection of her poems Ariel in 1965, 1972 would bring tidings of another senseless death. John Berryman, the most outstanding black poet in America, took his own life. In the autumn of 1973 the world would be shocked yet again with the sudden, unexpected death of folk-rocker Jim Croce whose small plane crashed en route to a live engagement.

There is rarely a year that passes that does not present us with that last look, the final review of a life lived long and well and peacefully departed from or else snuffed out senselessly and prematurely by accident, suicide, murder, or a premature and terminal medical event. The individuals mentioned above were not the only victims of the 1969 - 1973 period. Inger Stevens, Duane Allman, and Sharon Tate were among others who had also passed on before their time.

The purpose of the above reminisence may have already been plainly stated enough. Most of the major celebrities of the 1969 - 1973 period had one thing in common: they each had a first or last name beginning with the letter "J." Brian Jones, Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin (a double "J"), Jim Morrison, John Berryman, Jim Croce. I am convinced that this was not a coincidence. I should also add that, because John Lennon "retired" near the end of this period, he apparently bought himself some extra time. Still, on December 8, 1980, the founder and leader of the Beatles was murdered by a psychotic fan named Mark David Chapman.

It did not occur to me until late 1998 that something similar had been occurring for nearly a year. Following the shocking deaths of Princess Diana and John Denver, comedian Chris Farley was found dead of an apparent heart attack. As the new year began, a pretty young woman was seen more and more on television, praying in her prison cell, arms upraised to heaven. Karla Faye Tucker would be the first woman executed in Texas since the Civil War. The entertainment world quaked in May with the announcement of the death of Frank Sinatra. Florence "FloJo" Joyner, a famous black Olympics superstar would die in September, asphyxiating in her sleep, just as rock star Jimi Hendrix had done 28 years earlier in the same month. Television and film actress Mary Frann was found dead shortly after, prescription drugs strewn about the room wherein her lifeless body lay. The following month the word was out: Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart was dying of anorexia. Not true, she retorted angrily. It was a month-long death-scare rumour that had fooled even seasoned journalists. Then, in November, actor Michael J. Fox revealed that he was suffering from Parkinson's Disease.

I believed I now knew what was coming. Farley, Faye, Frank, Florence, Frann, Flockhart, and Fox had one thing in common: the initial "F." If the 1969 - 1973 period was being replayed in 1997 - 2001, then not merely a sub-culture, but the world would be in for a major shock in July 1999. A young male, wth the letter 'F' figuring predominately in his initials, would die suddenly and unexpectedly. But who?

I agonised over this as I began to build my website, naively believing that thousands of visitors would be beating a path to my pages. Surely I would be able to pinpoint who was in danger. Surely the word would get out somehow to the right channels to prevent whatever was going to occur in July. But so many women had died tragically since Diana's death in August 1997. Could it be that it would be a female celebrity rather than a male who was in danger of dying in July 1999? As I began to scramble for other possible clues, I decided to include both genders in the prediction.

The most outstanding sound in Jim Morrison's name was the sound "More." Was there anyone around today with that sound predominating in their name? Then a list began to form in my mind: Alanis Morissette, Van Morrison, Demi Moore, etc. Also Jim Morrison's initials: J.M. Could that be a clue? Could the first name of the individual be Jim, James, John? John Mellencamp, perhaps? (I recently have learned that Mellencamp has a heart condition and is exercising, dieting, and taking prescriptions to keep his illness in check.) Without realising it, I had the first initial, "J," correct, and the second initial as well -- what I didn't know was that the "F&" would end up being a middle initial. I also began to wonder whether it was possible that "More" and "F" might work independently of each other -- each spawning a separate list of potential victims.

I joined GeoCities on May 7, 1999. On May 8, I began FTPing my web site. On May 10, I launched it. Then I began to promote it by submitting to search engines and directories. All the while this was going on, unbeknownst to me, television actress Dana Plato committed suicide in Moore, Oklahoma. It would be two weeks before I would learn of her death on May 8.

In June 1999, Star Trek lost its first major actor: DeForest Kelly ("Bones") died of stomach cancer. Then came that fateful day in July of which I had warned, remembering the death of Jim Morrison 28 years before. John F. Kennedy Jr. plummeted to his death in the Atlantic off Martha's Vineyard. His wife, Carolyn Bessette and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, died with him in the small plane they had been flying in to attend the wedding of JFK Jr.'s cousin.

It was quite a shock, especially with "JFK Jr." permanently affixed to the bottom of the television screen on CNN, a very famous person who I only marginally knew anything about. Yet, despite having the "what" and the "when" and even the originally-surmised gender of the person in media focus correct, I only had had fragments of the "who." I had never had any cause to consider the initial "K." The significance of that letter would not become apparent until it was much too late -- not only for JFK Jr., but for others as well.

Just as the "J" trend for the most part ended with Jim Morisson, I now suspect the "F" trend has also nearly finished with John F. Kennedy Jr. However, there may be one more major "F" at risk of death before his or her time.

Also, as with John Kennedy Jr. I sense tremendous danger for someone very famous with the name "John" in late 2001. It need not be a first name. Indeed, I am concerned that the individual in question may be singer/composer Elton John. I will be presenting my reasons for this on the "Early 21st Century: 2001" page soon.

As for "More" the potential victims continued to pile up until December 31, 1999, and were never anyone you might expect. For the exception of the mysterious death of English maven John Morgan (Morgan) in July 2000, I suspect its influence was largely a 1999 phenomenon.

THE INFLUENCE OF "F" AND "MORE" THUS FAR -- COINCIDENCE?

Hi-Yo Silver, Away!

Actor Clayton Moore

December 28, 1999 --WEST HILLS, California (CNN) -- Clayton Moore, the actor forever identified with the Lone Ranger character, died of a heart attack Tuesday morning at West Hills Hospital, about 20 miles north of Los Angeles. He was 85.

Moore played the Lone Ranger from 1949 to 1951, riding his trusty horse Silver and accompanied by his faithful American-Indian friend Tonto as the pair brought law and order to the Old West in every half-hour episode. When he sat out a contract dispute with the producers, actor John Hart took over the role for two years. But Moore completed the show's run until it was canceled in 1957.

The Lone Ranger and Silver

Clayton Moore's days may have been numbered by the "More" influence, but there is no tragedy in a life lived long and well.

American Hostage Was Last Casualty of 'MORE'
Influence in 1999

January 4, 2000 -- LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The sole American hostage on the hijacked Indian Airlines jet returned to California Tuesday. Jeanne Moore, 53, who was among the 155 passengers held on the plane for eight days, arrived at Los Angeles International Airport aboard a Lufthansa flight. Airline spokeswoman Maria Soler said Ms. Moore was tired and left the terminal with her son through an alternate route to meet her family outside the airport. She did not meet with reporters. Her Indian Airlines flight from Nepal to New Delhi was hijacked on Dec. 24, and the hostages were freed December 31. Ms. Moore's parents said they were anxious to see her. "I'll be so glad to see her, and love her a lot," her 85-year-old mother, Marie Redding, said Monday from her Burbank home. Her father, Harold Redding, 86, said: "She travels quite frequently and she wanted us to go along with her on this particular trip, but we couldn't get away. Our health couldn't stand the rigors." Ms. Moore lives in Bakersfield, where she teaches disabled children.

Despite a terrifying and potentially deadly experience in a drama played out for nearly a week, this story has a happy ending for one MORE at least.

"Barrymore Curse" Threatens Actress Drew Barrymore and Other Famous Acting Familes, and, Less Likely, Actresses and Female Pop Stars of Renown Born in March 1970

April 24, 2009: The "Barrymore Curse" ... alcoholism and drug abuse, suicidal behaviour, and other unrelated misfortunes ... either caused the death or ruined the careers of many members of the famous Barrymore acting family. The great actor John Barrymore, died in 1942 from cirrhosis of the liver after years of alcoholism. His third wife, actress Dolores Costello, was scarred for life by early film makeup she was made to wear during her silent movie years. John's brother, the great actor Lionel Barrymore, lost both his children, two girls, during infancy. The girls' deaths played a part in the eventual end of Lionel Barrymore's marriage to actress Doris Rankin. He became so crippled from arthritis that he ended up acting from a wheelchair. More recently, actor John Drew Barrymore, son of John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, and father of Drew Barrymore, became a recluse, addicted to alcohol and drugs. He died of cancer on November 29, 2004. Child star Drew Barrymore, addicted to drugs and alcohol since age 10 and in and out of rehab, attempted suicide at age 15 by slashing her wrists on July 4, 1989.

The last female victim who actually succumbed to the tragedy that plagued this famous acting family was actress Diana Barrymore who committed suicide at age 38 on January 25, 1960, forty-nine (7 x 7) years ago. Diana Barrymore was Drew Barrymore's aunt, and sister of John Drew Barrymore. After less than three years in Hollywood, and five significant film roles, Diana's suicide attempts, heavy drinking in public, and drug abuse problems ended her film career. She was found lying dead in bed in her second floor apartment by the maid from an overdose of pills mixed with alcohol.

Diana Barrymore's death will always be a potential base 7 influence for Drew Barrymore. This does not necessarily mean that she is currently in danger from any sort of addictive or self-destructive behaviour at this time. However, one need only look back to February 2001 to see that danger can take many other forms:

On February 18, 2001, Drew Barrymore and her then-fiancé Tom Green escaped a fire that gutted their Los Angeles home. The star and her comedian boyfriend were alerted to the fire by their dog Flossie who barked as it spread through the two-storey house north of Beverley Hills. Sixty fire-fighters took about an hour to bring the blaze under control. Damage to the charred-out house was estimated at $700,000. The cause of the blaze was never determined. Had it not been for the house pet being on the premises, both Drew Barrymore and Tom Green would have burned to death.

Her death by fire would have been spectacular and tragic indeed, and also a result of the base 7 influence from Diana Barrymore's 1960 suicide (7 x 6 = 42 years). It would have been one year premature (February 2001 instead of January 2002), an adjacent fulfillment, and one month off the January vector.

Thus, as unlikely as it may seem, Drew Barrymore could be in danger of accidental death or some other means (such as murder, since the 2001 fire could have been set deliberately) once again throughout 2009.

Also, however in control of her life Drew Barrymore may appear to be at this time, it must be remembered that her aunt died at age 38. Drew is now 34 years old, and a great career could suddenly face trouble without warning from any quarter. It was the failure of Diana's career that ultimately led to her suicide. For this reason Drew Barrymore is her own base 7 influence as well, her July 1989 attempted suicide portending potential self-destruction at age 35 in July 2010 or age 42 in July 2017 ... or, combined with her Aunt Diana's influence, later this year.

In a much broader sense, the curse of the Barrymores could easily have instead been exchanged this year for the curse of the Redgraves. Thus, we have the sad event which occurred in March 18, 2009 when the distinguished actress Natasha Richardson, age 45, died from a brain injury suffered after a skiing accident in Canada.

Other actresses and female pop singers this year who were the same age in January 2009 as Diana Barrymore was at death in January 1960: Elizabeth Mitchell, Mariah Carey, Queen Latifah, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Julie Bowen.

2009 Name Sounds

NOTE ABOUT BLUE ALERT SYSTEM (3/11/03): Some of you may recall a few years back when I used "name blends" -- rhyming sounds and off-rhyme clues from part of one name to determine what the next name in the sequence might be (or later in the year). An example was the death of Layne Stahley and how "Layne" led to "Lynne" then "Linda" and the car crash death of Linda Lovelace which followed. I surmised that "Lace" in "Lovelace" might lead to a "Leese" then "Lisa" tragedy. The next day, Lisa Lopes of TLC was killed in a car crash.

Rather than create a whole other section on this page for name blends, I will instead highlight certain names in the lists below in light blue that I feel may be influenced by celebrity deaths that have occurred this year.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON EXCLUSIONS (1/23/04): We acknowledge the passing of dancer and actress Ann Miller, age 81, and note with great regret the passing of Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo), age 76. However, it is no longer the mission of this website to address the deaths of celebrities who are of advanced age or those who have had a long term health problem and are in their early elderly years. Such deaths are largely inevitable and often beyond any purposeful prediction. Also, the one and only applicable sound in Mr Keeshan's name ("eeeee") we now consider to be far too common to be remarkable or in any way useful for predictive purposes. Ergo, save for certain celebrities of advanced or elderly age who may appear on the prediction lists, we will no longer be publishing their obituaries and including comments.

Prominent name sounds must also be present. "Ray", for example, is a prominent sound, "Ay", on the other hand, is not. This distinction will become more clear as we progress through the year.

ANSWER TO POSSIBLE QUESTION: Hey ... why all the chicks on here and hardly no MEN??? (6/9/07):

Charles Nelson Reilly was over 70. Singer Don Ho was over 70. Remember that this page is largely concerned with PREMATURE DEATH or disability/serious mishaps. There are some over-70 celebrities that appear on the lists, but only because I strongly feel they may be at some special risk at this time. Lloyd Alexander was a writer and I have not spread the celebrity base out so far as to include writers (save for a few well-known poets). So I do not report them as a rule if anything happens to one, even if his/her name conforms to a name sound. Alexander was also over 70. Gordon Scott was over 80. Tom Poston was over 70. Tommy Newsom was well over 70, almost 80 ... and so on. I won't continue listing the male celebs who were over 70 or 80 any further; you get the picture.

Al Hunter Ashton was a writer. Note what I said about not yet expanding the base to include authors, save for a few poets. Sci-fi writer Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. would have appeared on a list if I had thought of a base 7 section for this page in time. Instead, his death inspired the base 7 section. Bobby "Boris" Pickett, who sang the classic "Monster Mash", was 69. Luther Ingram, who sang "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want to Be Right" (a song I really like), was also 69. That is close enough to 70 to not bother. Don't get me wrong .. I realise that 70 is "the new 60" and 60 is "the new 50" and 50 is "the new 40" and 40 is "the new 30" and 30 is "the new 20," but until everybody agrees on that, I will be forced to treat 70 and above the old fashioned way.

Directors like Benjamin "Bob" Clark also are not yet included in the base, unless they are extremely famous (like the late Stanley Kubrick or the recently deceased Robert Altman, but again the name sounds must match even for the very famous). The same is largely true about politicians. Comedian Richard Jeni and Boston frontman Brad Delp did not match any of the name sounds, so I could not report on their deaths.

There are a few males listed such as Denny Doherty of Mamas and the Papas fame. But the truth is, males have been very careful this year not to get into the kind of scrapes that the women on this page have gotten into. And most of the men who have died have been over 70.

It will be noted, however, that so far this year the total number of celebs, male and female, on this page is rather sparse anyway compared to past years. Both men and women have been more careful than in the past, it would appear. Especially since the death of Anna Nicole Smith in February.

Madonna was taken to a New York hospital Saturday after falling from a horse while at the South Hampton, N.Y., home of friend and famed photographer Steven Klein. The singer's rep, Liz Rosenberg, confirms Madonna was treated and released after suffering minor injuries and bruises.

"The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer, who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island over the weekend," Rosenberg said in a statement to Usmagazine.com. "Madonna will be having further tests and will continue to remain under observation by doctors."

In 2005, Madonna -- a talented equestrian -- cracked three rribs and broke her hand and collar bone in a riding accident at her estate just outside London on her 47th birthday. The horse she was riding was a gift from her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie.

Seven months after her injuries, the singer, now 50, was photographed by Klein for a 58-page spread in W magazine, where she was pictured alongside six stallions and posed for the cover in her riding gear.

Later that year, at the 2005 MTV Europe Awards, Madonna spoke publicly about the accident. "After I fell off my horse it was amazing to be able to get up and dance," she said, after performing "Hung Up on You" to open the show. "You don't beat singing live...my heart was just pumping out of my chest."

COMMENTS (5/4/09): Madonna is named in the prediction list above. Interesting this occurred around the vector for a possible fatal car crash for Madonna in April 2009, and a potential attack, possibly murderous and successfully so, by a stalker or some other menace on the pop diva in May 2009. Perhaps she is deflecting this by having a riding injury? It is beginning to look more and more like it will be Britney Spears who ends up, possibly strangled, by a stalker now that she has had two mishaps, one with a woman in camaflouge clothing at her home, and now a deranged fan on her 'Circus' stage. Britney may yet be the "elevated blonde supreme" ... especially now that she has ordered a stripper's pole be installed in her London hotel room next month ... she may just end up hanging from it.

Natalie Cole needs kidney, gets offers during show

(CNN) -- Singer Natalie Cole told CNN's Larry King she is searching for a kidney after an illness caused both of her kidneys to fail. Before she finished telling King Tuesday night about her battles with drugs, illnesses and her search for a kidney, dozens of e-mails flooded the CNN studio. They were all offers from people saying they would get tested to see whether their kidney could be donated.

King handed a thick stack of paper to Cole. "These are all e-mails from dozens -- dozens of people offering to be tested to see if they can match, who want to give you a kidney," King said. Cole stared at the papers for a moment. "There are some great human beings out there. That's all I can say," Cole said.

"I'm on a very long list, which is why we are looking to donors," said Cole, the daughter of legendary crooner Nat King Cole.

Cole said her kidney troubles date back to February 2008 when she was diagnosed with hepatitis C. Cole said she attributes the hepatitis C from her well-publicized struggles to stop using cocaine and heroin. Cole said she has been sober for some time now after two stints in a rehabilitation clinic.

Cole said she underwent chemotherapy in an aggressive way to fight the virus. Within four months of getting chemotherapy, both of Cole's kidneys failed.

"I couldn't breathe. I -- I went into -- literally, my kidneys stopped functioning. They stopped, you know, processing the fluid that was starting to build up in my body."

Since then, Cole has been on dialysis three days a week and has been searching for a kidney, she told King in one of the first public interviews about the issue.

Cole won six Grammy awards for her 1991 critically acclaimed album "Unforgettable ... With Love ," a jazzy tribute to her father. She won a Grammy this year for her new album "Still Unforgettable" and another Grammy for her work on another album.

Cole said that she has still been able to tour this year even with her kidney ailment. "I have been on dialysis in Istanbul, Milan, Indonesia, Manila, London. It's -- it's amazing," Cole said.

A stream-lined, fit, and healthy Jade Goody enjoys the night life in this 2006 photo.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- British reality TV celebrity Jade Goody died in her sleep Sunday morning following a public battle with cancer, her publicist told CNN.

Goody, 27, died in her sleep at home in Essex, east of London, just before 4 a.m. (midnight Eastern Daylight Time), a spokeswoman for Max Clifford Associates said.

Goody's death from cervical cancer marks the tragic end to a very modern tale.Goody had spent the past seven years in the full glare of the media. In the weeks leading up to her death, images of her shrinking frame and bald head have dominated the pages of British media.

However, she has openly courted the attention since bursting into the spotlight courtesy of the British version of "Big Brother" in 2002.

At first the former dental nurse was a hate figure for Britain's vociferous tabloid newspapers, who attacked her for being ignorant and stupid. The public, however, warmed to her loud, honest streak.

She did not win the series, but was able to parlay her popularity into a series of reality television and business deals. Her face was soon regularly boldly looking out from the cover of gossip magazines and you could buy the fragrance Shh... Jade Goody, fitness DVDs or pick up a copy of her autobiography.

In 2007, with her fame starting to dip, she agreed to return for the celebrity edition of "Big Brother," with her mother and then boyfriend, Jack Tweed, joining her in the house. It was to prove an ill-fated decision.

Goody was soon accused of making racist comments and bullying her housemate -- the Indian actress Shilpa Shetty. More than 50,000 complaints were received.When she was voted out of the house the show's producers took the unusual step of banning the public from attending her eviction.

Goody was tearful and apologetic but British PR guru Max Clifford, who later became her publicist, summed up the general opinion at the time by saying: "It looks like she has ruined a very lucrative career."

Jade Goody has died after losing her battle with cervical cancer. The British "Big Brother" star fast-tracked plans to get married after her cancer spread. Goody said she needed to keep selling her story to raise money for her boys.

Ever resilient, Goody had a Christmas cookbook out at the end of 2007 and in 2008 signed up for India's version of "Big Brother." Two days into the show her cancer diagnosis was revealed on air. She flew home immediately to begin treatment.

Last month (February) she revealed her cancer was terminal and that she only had weeks to live.

With typical bravado she, with Clifford's help, organized her wedding to Tweed, who had only just been released from prison after serving a sentence for assault, selling the exclusive rights to OK! magazine for a reported $970,000. It was also filmed for her reality TV show.

The British government even stepped in to extend Tweed's 7 p.m. curfew, a condition of his release from jail, so the couple could spend their wedding night together.

Despite her weakening state Goody continued to open her door to the media, saying she needed to keep selling her story to help secure the future of her sons, Bobby, five, and Freddy, four.

In the days leading up to her death there were newspaper stories on a hammer-wielding woman getting into her room, the baptism of her sons, her last view of "sun-kissed" fields and final farewells with family. Health officials reported a surge in the number of woman seeking cervical smears, dubbing it the "Goody effect."

Clifford said Goody had loved her time in the spotlight. "I think they've (she and the media) exploited each other. Both have benefited. In Jade's own words, she's loved the last 7 years. They've been wonderful. All the people's she's met, all the things she's done."

COMMENTS (3/24/09): Although Jade Goody was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, it is unsettling that she succumbed to it on the very year her name would have appeared on the prediction list ... if I had thought to put it on. For some reason I thought I had listed her under Jayne Mansfield, but apparently forgot. "Jade" (Jayde) is close enough to "Jayne" and "Good" is also close enough to "Wood" (Natalie Wood). A very fatal combination of influences.

Possible predictions (2/6/09): Drew Barrymore, Diana Barton, Diana Hayden, Diana Morgan, Diana Rigg, Diana Ross, Diana Zubiri, Diane Cilento, Diane Farr, Diane Franklin, Diane Keaton, Diane Kruger, Diane Ladd, Diane Lane, Diane Neal, Diane Sawyer, Diahann Carroll, Anna Bielska, Anna Faris, Anna Friel, Anna Kournikova, Anna Lynn Mccord, Anna Mouglalis, Anna Murray, Anna Paquin, Anna Poppelwell, Layla Anna Lee, Vanna White, Cathy Barry, Halle Berry, Barry Howard, Barry Manilow, Barry Pearl, Barry Williams, Demi Moore, Mary Tyler Moore, Rita Moreno, Alanis Morissette, Rebecca DeMornay, Eva Gabore, Tipper Gore, Lesley Gore, Susan Day George, Traci Lords, Gloria Estefan, Gloria Loring, Cindy Crawford, Joan Osborne, Kelly Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, Pia Zadora, Tori Amos, Doris Day, Florence Henderson, Lorna Luft, Tori Spelling, Loretta Swit, Victoria Adams (Posh Spice), Victoria Principal.

NOTE: As can be seen, this is further evidence that June 2009, the month and year I originally believed actress/model Anna Nicole Smith would commit suicide, should have been the correct year. Why she died in February 2007, over two years early, is something quite mysterious.

Kelly Osbourne in 'medical facility'

(CNN) -- Singer Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, checked herself into "a medical facility to address some personal issues," her London publicist confirmed Friday.

Kelly Osbourne is struggling with "some personal issues," according to her spokeswoman. The British Press Association cited an unnamed source saying Osbourne, 24, is being treated at the Hazelden retreat in Oregon.

"Kelly Osbourne has voluntarily entered a medical facility to address some personal issues," spokeswoman Caroline Barrett said in a statement e-mailed to CNN. "Her family stands by and supports her."

Osbourne was jailed in London in January on a charge of assaulting a British newspaper gossip columnist at a London nightclub last summer. She was freed on bail.

She's been absent in recent weeks from a British radio talk show in which she dispenses life advice to young people.

Her father, who rose to fame with the heavy metal group Black Sabbath, and mother Sharon revealed nearly five years ago that Kelly Osbourne entered the Promises rehab facility in Malibu, California, for treatment of a painkiller addiction.

Their revelation came in an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live" in May 2004. "We just had to take evasive action very quickly, because the amount of pills that was found in her bag was astounding," Ozzy Osbourne told Larry King. Kelly Osbourne gained fame as a teenager when her family opened up their lives to cameras for an MTV reality show "The Osbournes."

COMMENTS (4/18/09): Kelly Osbourne is named in the prediction list above.

(CNN) -- Robin Williams' heart surgery "went extremely well" and he is expected to make a full recovery in eight weeks, according to his surgeon. Robin Williams underwent heart surgery March 13. He's doing well, says his surgeon.

Williams' publicist quoted the surgeon in a news release Monday that revealed the procedure was done on March 13 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. "His heart is strong and he will have normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he'll be able to do," said Dr. Marc Gillinov, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. "A couple of hours after surgery, he was entertaining the medical team and making us all laugh."

The 57-year-old comedian postponed his one-man-show tour and entered a Miami, Florida, hospital for testing earlier this month after suffering shortness of breath. Doctors then told Williams he needed an aortic valve replacement, his publicist said.

Williams is expected to resume his 80-city "Weapons of Self-Destruction" tour in the fall, the publicist said. "I got some great new material for the tour and can't wait to get back on the road," Williams said in Monday's news release. "I'm thinking the next leg of the tour will be 'Weapons of Self-Destruction and Reconstruction!' "

His Web site says the shows "highlight Williams' trademark free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities."

This isn't the first time Williams has coped with health problems. In August 2006, the comedian and actor checked himself into an alcohol rehabilitation center. "After 20 years of sobriety, Robin Williams found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family," his publicist said at the time.

COMMENTS (3/24/09): Robin Williams is named in the prediction list above. Good news for a change! He is a great comedian and actor and I hope his recovery is a speedy one.
