I don’t know what the heck is going on. The second to last Golden Girl, Rue McClanahan has died. It’s like Death is on a rampage in the celebrity world. Dear Death: How about knocking off someone who really needs to go? Can you please make a stop at Speidi’s place? Pretty please? Kthanxbye! People Magazine gives the details.
Golden Girl Rue McClanahan has died at the age of 76.
“She passed away at 1 a.m. this morning,” her manager, Barbara Lawrence, tells PEOPLE. “She had a massive stroke.”
McClanahan, who played man-happy Blanche Devereaux on the still-popular ’80s sitcom Golden Girls, had suffered a minor stroke earlier this year while recovering from bypass surgery. Lawrence adds that at the time of her death Thursday, McClanahan “had her family with her. She went in peace.”
Rest in peace, Blanche! If you don’t automatically get into heaven, I’m sure you can work something out with St. Peter! *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*

Let’s see if we can get a campaign going to let her corpse host Saturday Night Live.
Or a remake of Weekend at Bernie’s.
