About This Blog

 I first noticed the concept of "Celebrity Death Pairs" as a kid growing up when Princess Di and Mother Teresa died almost simultaneously. I realized that for whatever reason, celebrities "Di"ed at the same time more often than they didn't, and since Death is both random and inevitable, it often inextricably linked two very different people in the public consciousness. This juxtaposition often makes us re-evaluate the merits of the dead celebrities in the context of their Death Pair-mate.

This was tough for both Princess Di and Mother Teresa. Princess Di used her fame to do a lot of advocacy, but at the end of the day she was most famous for being hot and marrying/divorcing a powerless monarch who was much less physically attractive than her. Very few people are cognizant of any specific humanitarian accomplishments of Mother Teresa, but almost everyone is vaguely aware that she is to be held as paragon of selfless humanitarian work or something like that so talking heads used that image as a means to belittle the good accomplishments associated with Princess Di. "Yeah she was against land mines and shit, but did she really give anything of herself? I mean look at Mother Teresa!" they would say. Of course this sanctimonious attitude gave opportunity to Mother Teresa h8trs to say "yeah well if Mother Teresa was such a great humanitarian why was she against birth control? At the end of the day she held Catholic dogma to higher esteem than actually helping people" All of this dialogue can be attributed to fate linking them as Celebrity Death Pairs. If Princess Di didn't die in that car crash and had someone superficial like, Lindsay Lohan as a Death Pair people would have said "see you can be famous for being hot and marrying rich guys and still positively impact the world in tangible ways. If every gold digger out there did a little humanitarian work on the side the world would be A Much Better Place"

 As time went on, I noticed more and more Celebrity Death Pairs but forgot about them after a few weeks. There was no blog to memorialize them. South Park did an episode about the "Summer of Celebrity Deaths" but really that summer was just a lot of Celebrity Death pairs in a row. What I hope to accomplish here is to quickly document Celebrity Death pairs as they happen and give a few pithy comments summarizing about how their celebrity is truly thought of among the older Millenial generation. The tone will be unsentimental. Then if someone were to think about "who is person X's Celebrity Death Pair?" Google might send them here.














I want CelebrityDeathPairs to become the most trusted source of information about Celebrity Death Pairs and to elevate the artform of Celebrity Death Pairs to the point it becomes a Jeopardy category or something like that and I become Carles-level famous. Then people can argue about this shit in bars and settle it with their smart phones. Like one drunk Austrian guy at a bar wouldn't believe drunk me that the original Dream Team was undefeated. I didn't have a smart phone to prove this at the time and it was so annoying and frustrating. If he were adamant about a Celebrity Death Pair existing or not existing I would be able to look up this site and prove it without having to bring up two Safari windows showing those celebrities wikipedias. Bringing up two wikipedia windows sucks because their death date would be all tiny and my drunk hand would be shaking, and the drunk Austrian guy would lose concentration after straining to see even one death date. With celebritydeathpairs.blogger.com you only need one Safari window to confirm or unconfirm the existence of a Celebrity Death Pair, and its in the title so even in a shaky drunk hand, this information is clearly visible on a smart phone.

I don't remember a lot of the old celebrity death pairs, so if you have any good tips, please add them to the comments and I'll try to write a post. Celebrities don't die that often so one post a week should be doable. Together we can create the most authoritative compendium of Celebrity Death Pairs in existence.
