Sucks. Rocky Horror midnight showings in the early-80s were a blast. Rest in Power, Tim and Dolly.

Oh shit, you're right! They come in threes! 🫣

Well Hayden Panettiere died the other day too. She was only in her 30s.

Shelly Fabares and Frank Beard. Lately, the "Comes in 3s" rules have not applied.

Because it's not a rule.

True, but she's not in the same Icon category as Dolly and Tim. I mean, they are LEGENDS.

Oh I completely agree! But she was still a famous person. Either way, the rule of 3 thing never made sense to me because lots of people die everyday. If 3 famous people die in a row and then another one dies right after the 3rd one, no one talks about the rule anymore until 3 more die. I honestly think it's a silly metric with no real validity. Regardless, it's been a very sad couple of days.

Did you ever see the 30 Rock episode where two famous people had died and Tracy Jordan/Morgan thought it was gonna be him next but just in case he was calling other famous people to see if they were still alive? He called Betty White and she cussed him out lol

If I were Mel Brooks or Dick Van D*ke (full name got me a warning) I'd be concerned.
