A Chinese actor in Hong Kong recently set a record by dying in five separate soap operas during the same week. Most difficult part was learning to breathe through his ears preparing for the five wakes.

See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
