The Death Pool

Photo Gallery
Sure, all the adulation and wealth is nice, but being a celebrity is no picnic. You're hounded by paparazzi, obsessive fans and, most ominously, the grim reaper. For this Rhapsody Photo Gallery, we've determined the celebrities most likely to kick the bucket in the upcoming months. Enjoy them while you can. The Rolling Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richards claims to have snorted his father's ashes and has had enough blood transfusions over the years to feed a thousand vampires. At this point, we can't decide whether he's going to die tomorrow or live forever. Loves to tote big guns? Check. Brags about various drug addictions? Check. Gets arrested whenever within a 100 ft. of a police officer? Check. Sadly, Weezy F. Baby may not be the "greatest rapper alive" for much longer. Pete Doherty, the frontman for Babyshambles, once got arrested for using drugs while he was driving away from a courthouse where he was on trial for using drugs. He's clearly headed for that big Betty Ford clinic in the sky. Related Photo Galleries: See your fave pop stars burn in our hilarious Celebrity Hell gallery 7. Kanye West Goes Emo The emotional core of 808s and Heartbreak is the album’s last track, “Pinocchio Story.” With the crackle of audience noise, and the tinkle of a sparse piano, Kanye sobs “Do you think I sacrificed real life for all the fame?” The song is a lament, a startlingly admission of defeat from an individual who has spent his career painting himself as the victor. Kanye’s much ballyhooed use of auto-tune on 808s was a way to hedge his bets – a vocal mask to distance the performer from both his audience and, perhaps more importantly, his own emotions. In the end, it may not have been the best album of Kanye’s career, but it certainly was the most honest. Related Photo Galleries: Rhapsody's Top Albums of 2008
The Game, the Compton based protegee of Dr. Dre, combines the gangster acumen of Tupac Shakur with the emotional fragility of Kurt Cobain. We hope his affairs are in order. In two years, Amy Winehouse went from being a voluptuous, immensely talented U.K. star to a strung-out basket case who tips the scales at 80 pounds, half of which is drug residue. Overplay Your Hand 50 Cent built a career on a bullying, marketing gimmicks and the slippery rationalization that he was so popular that he must be good. In 2007, the G-Unit captain pulled one stunt too many when he took on hip-hop's class nerd and lost his soundscan battle to Kanye, thus proving, according to his own logic, what we'd known for some time: dude has lost it.
