05.05.2009 Dom DeLuise died last night

Dom DeLuise was sort of like Bernie Mac in the sense that, because of his mannerisms and delivery, everything he said was 10 times funnier than it should have been. Paget Brewster is the same way. They can deliver a line that would die in the hands of most other actors. So it turns out this post is depressing as hell, because one is starring in “Criminal Minds” where she never gets any jokes and the other two are now dead. TMZ says…

We’ve just learned that Dom DeLuise died last night in a Los Angeles hospital.We’re told he passed away peacefully in his sleep at around 6 PM.
He was 75.

This sucks. He was funny, and one of the last fat stars. Now the only work fat actors get is struggling to breath halfway up a flight of stairs in an infomercial for an ab machine.

Damn shame - g’nite funny man

I was hoping they’d get the band back together and make one last “Cannonball Run”. Deluise was really funny and it’s sad that his final gift to the world of comedy was his son, Peter.

And yet, Zombie lives. Oxymoronic AND tragic.

ralphie may was here this past weekend.
if he dropped about 150, he could be in a show.
like a sitcom or something.
he’s in discover channel “watch the forklift tip over when we lift him” shape right now.

Aye, LNOJ, it’s just as well. Hard to cyber with a dead fat guy in the room, no matter how funny he was.

I did go first 4 in a row on a thread though! Big win for ME!
