From Overheard in the Newsroom (via Facebook): Reporter: “Blanche from ‘Golden Girls’ died.”
Editor: “NOOOO! The slutty one?! I LOVED the slutty one!”

Question: Cindy started it by asking on Facebook who'd be the next two celebs to die as part of the infamous death triology. Then, Joe Butler reminded her that Dennis Hopper and Gary Coleman have died. Therefore, Rue McClanahan is the final one in this trilogy. How big of a celebrity do you have to be, to be part of the trilogy? Cindy and I would drop marginal celeb Coleman in favor of the late Art Linkletter.
