Kobe Bryant DEAD

[Ellie]

Bit tragic here for the “DEAD” title.

Just breaking now. Killed in a helicopter crash along with 5 other people on board

 

[lolly]

Genuinely thought that was Kelle Bryan at first

 

[Ellie]

It’s only on TMZ right now so MAY be fake news: https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-killed-dead-helicopter-crash-in-calabasas/

 

[Alla]

TMZ are usually accurate and first with these things, aren't they?

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Who had him in in the moopy death pool?

 

[Zu]

I thought it was Kele Okereke

 

[Zu]

Is it KELLY MARIE?

 

[octophone]

Nah, just Googled because I didn't know who he was - being reported all over the shop.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Oh I KNOW who he is. Coz I'm so masc.

 

[octophone]

I thought it was Kele Okereke

A helicopter crash would be weirdly poetic for him, right enough...

 

[Ellie]

I just mentioned him the other day as I’m trying to watch all of the Oscar nominated short films, and he won a couple of years ago for an animated short.

 

[Alla]

Even I know who he is, for god's sake.

 

[KC 🦋]

Ay?! That's insane. Poor guy. RIP

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

It would be even more fabulous at a banquet though.

 

[Zu]

Even I know who he is, for god's sake.

Well that’s because you’re so masc

 

[octophone]

It would be even more fabulous at a banquet though.

A banquet held by witches.

 

[lolly]

No idea

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

A banquet held by witches.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Well that’s because you’re so masc

Go Bulls!

 

[Alla]

Well that’s because you’re so masc

That's a first, thanks

I can't seem to get on his wikipedia page. Break the internet Kobe!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I recall him after he was up on a rape trial in the 1990s.

Also the same name as a Japanese earthquake city and a friend of mine.

Yes, and there was some polemic when he won the Oscar because of that.

Wikipedia appears to have crashed.

Do you think is related? Mind you tv news here are opening right now with this, he was famous worldwide.

I remember when MJ died, TMZ totally crashed for hours.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

It opened for me. No death confirmed.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

BBC dropping a notification now.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Wikipedia appears to have crashed.

omg I reported that before you!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I wonder how much the sexual assault trial will be swept under the carpet. He all but admitted it.

 

[Zu]

Also the same name as a Japanese earthquake city and a friend of mine.

And BEEF. I’m sure I remember Madonna bleating on about Kobe being the only beef she’d eat. Also it’s a bit similar to Kode as in Burial’s boyfriend Kode 9

TMZ crashed now.
Edit: sort of, it works now

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Oh no now it's been reported his daughters were with him in the helicopter

 

[Alla]

Oh dear

 

[Zu]

Oh God. How grim

 

[KC 🦋]

That sucks

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Oh no now it's been reported his daughters were with him in the helicopter

Untrue.

 

[Alla]

At least one of them was in the helicopter, according TMZ.

 

[Alla]

Wait, they just deleted that?

They edited in again: 12:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria Onore -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13

 

[lolly]

Has Kelle checked in as safe yet?

 

[dzjermlaw]

That's really shocking news.
