Unfortunately, banging out crude obits isn’t a paying job. Sometimes, we just don’t have the time to report on every last qualified celebrity corpse. Or possibly, there just isn’t enough available dirt on someone to throw one last shovelful in their face.

Each month, we’ll list the unselected celebs we either A) didn’t have time for… or B) were too boring to malign.
