Celebrity Death of the Week: Prince Ranier of Monaco

Why is it that we can't seem to go for a week without some kind of celebrity going to the eternal sleep-sleep with the angels? This week... Prince Ranier of Monaco. I had him in the running (see previous postings) so it was just a matter of time that the Grim Reaper caught up to him (the GR had a busy month!). Kinda sucks that this is overlapping with the Pope's funeral (I hate playing second fiddle as well). Its like having to choose between going to the Golden Globes and the Oscars if they were held at the same time. Read on:

So his son, Prince Albert will inherit the throne of this tiny principality. I think he's gay. Check it:

"Prince Albert is unmarried and has no children...Groomed for decades to succeed his straight-laced father, Albert is well traveled, multilingual and a five-time bobsledding Olympian. In recent years, he has been Monaco's top ambassador. A confirmed bachelor raised in the spotlight, he also has been seen as a sometimes reluctant heir."

Gay. What do you think?

Anyhow, for those of you wondering "where the hell is Monaco?", it is along the southern coast of France. According to my dear friends at CIA Factbook, its no bigger than 3 times the Mall in Washington DC. Thrilling.

Where's my fcuking coffee...?
