Top 20 celebrities predicted to die in 2013

For the third year in a row, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has been picked as the celebrity most likely to die in the coming year, according to the Stiffs.com dead pool.
Gabor, 95, continues to hang in there, much to the chagrin of dead pool players.
Of the top 20 celebrities marked for death in 2012 by Stiffs.com, only five kicked the bucket last year. (That’s down from seven out of the top 20 in 2011.) The deceased public figures included singer Etta James, Libyan airline bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, baseball hall of famer Gary Carter and college football coach Joe Paterno.
The winner of the 2012 Stiffs.com contest, “Ghosts of Stiffs Past,” correctly guessed nine deaths out of 10. Only baseball great Stan Musial eluded him.
Two contestants correctly predicted the shocking death of singer Whitney Houston.
