(The Julie clause)
If you personally kill a celebrity to increase your point scoring,
you are disqualified.

(The Schiavo Clause.)
No points for any deaths whose only act of dying made them famous. this means the oldest man or woman alive won't get points. It also means that a famous illness to an otherwise stranger, resulting in a death wouldn't count as a celebrity dead pool death.
