OK Have my card, crossed off all my numbers now what?Aaliyah, 22, 1/16/79-8/25/01Aaliyah, born in Bed-Stuy and raised in Detroit, was the walking definition of street cool in the late 1990s. She only cut three albums - "Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number," "One In a Million" and "Aaliyah," released just weeks before her death. No turkeys in that coop. They all sold millions, and she had No. 1 hits in both R&B ("Back and Forth," If Your Girl Only Knew," "Are You That Somebody") and pop ("Try Again"). Only a teenager, she knew music, collaborating with Timbaland and others to create a distinctive hybrid R&B sound. She was also stunning, with her long hair covering half her face, and she had already shot a couple of movies with more to come. Her private life wasn't quite that smooth, though she kept most of it, well, private. What did come out was that she married R. Kelly while she was still underage and the marriage was annulled in 1995. In August 2001 she flew to the Bahamas to film a video, "Rock the Boat. " When her crew piled into the plane to return home, they insisted on taking all their heavy equipment, so the plane was hundreds of pounds over the weight it could carry. The pilot had also obtained his license fraudulently and was alcohol and cocaine in his system. Two hundred feet from the runway, the plane crashed into a marsh. There were no survivors. hxxp: www. nydailynews. com/entertainment/movies/2008/01/23/2008-01-23_other_celebrities_who_died_before_age_30. html?print=1&page=allJean Harlow, 26, 3/3/11-6/7/37Jean Harlow was the blonde bombshell of her era. She would have been the blonde bombshell of almost any era. She made dozens of films in that contract era, with titles like "Red-Headed Woman," "Platinum Blonde" and "Wife Vs. Secretary. " The funny thing was, she was a good actress, with splendid comic timing. She had a wreck of a personal life, sadly, though that isn't what killed her. She fell ill while filming "Saratoga" with Clark Gable. Finally she was hospitalized and it turned out she had uremic poisoning, a byproduct of kidney failure that itself probably stemmed from a bout of scarlet fever as a teenager. She died eight days later and was buried in a negligee she wore in "Saratoga. " It was reported that a white gardenia from William Powell was placed in her hand in the casket. hxxp: www. citynews. ca/news/news_18845. aspxSid ViciousWho: Punk rock pioneer with The Sex PistolsDied: Feb. 2, 1979Cause: Heroin overdoseAge: 21 Lenny BruceWho: Groundbreaking comicDied: August 3, 1966Cause: Overdose of heroinAge: 40hxxp: www. fiftiesweb. com/dead/dead-people-2005. htmJanuary 22 - Rose Mary Woods, secretary to Richard Nixon who took blame for 18 ½ minute gap in tapes, age 86orApril 26 - Mason Adams, actor (Charlie Hume on "Lou Grant") age 86January 25 - Ray Peterson, singer ("Tell Laura I Love Her") age 69July 20 - James Doohan, actor (Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on "Star Trek"), age 85May 25 - Ismail Merchant, producer ("Howards End", "The Remains of the Day") age 68November 13 - Eddie Guerrero, WWE wrestler, age 38hxxp: www. fiftiesweb. com/dead/dead-people-2008. htmFebruary 10 - Roy Scheider, actor ( Police Chief Brodie in "Jaws") age 75hxxp: www. fiftiesweb. com/dead/dead-people-2006. htmJanuary 24 - Chris Penn, actor ("Reservoir Dogs" and "Starsky & Hutch") brother of Sean Penn, age 40Ana Carolina Reston was a much sought-after Brazilian model who died aged 21 of anorexia nervosa. hxxp: literarydish. com/2007/03/03/celebrities-gone-to-soon-and-unrecognized/R&B duo “Damian Dame” (pictured above) consisted of Debra Jean Hurd aka “Deah Dame,” and Bruce Edward Brodus aka Damian.

Why not spend a few minutes sorting your avatar out instead (I can't see it, can anybody else?)...

Oh I do hope so.
