Hey Old Timer Gossip: Dick Van Dyke had a crush on Mary Tyler Moore.

Publication: Globe
Date: 16 May 2011

The Globe says that Dick Van Dyke will be producing that most inportant of artifacts in the gossip world, the tell all book. In it, he admits he had a serious crush on his co-star Mary Tyler Moore.

Hey, buddy! Get in line! I mean, back then, who didn't?

Then again, he did play her husband for five seasons. I guess he should be at the front of the line.

Meanest story nominee: Dick Van Dyke's Sad Last Days

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 4 April 2011

Here's a quick checklist.

1. Did you star on an American TV show during the 1960s?
2. Were you an adult at the time?
3. Are you still alive?

If you answered "yes" to all three questions, then the low rent Examiner (or possibly the Globe) would like you to know you will not be answering yes to question #3 for very much longer.

Dick Van Dyke gets introduced to the Brave Last Days list, a list that currently has the names of sixty three people who are still alive while the correct predictions since the beginning of 2010 now stand at eight since the passing of Miss Elizabeth Taylor.

Best wishes to Mr. Van Dyke, his family and friends, from a fan.

This is a Meanest Story nominee.
