STILL DEAD, STILL EARNING

Our good friends over at Forbes.com have a macabre story out today, just in time for Halloween: They’ve listed the top-earning Dead Celebrities for the year. In a surprise twist, the No. 1 spot did not go to Elvis Presley but instead to the late (Yes, we know: they’re ALL late. Just seems disrespectful not to add that) Kurt Cobain. The former Nirvana lead singer pulled in a healthy (Ooooh. Sorry.) $50 million, followed by Elvis at $42 million, and Charles Shulz of “Peanuts” fame at $35 million. The rest of the top 10, as well as other interesting tidbits about the dead, can be found at Forbes.com/DeadCelebs. But we must add, such an obsession with death seems a little, well, “ooky.”
