Is it just me? Or when a celebrity you really like dies, you take it to heart like you knew them personally. I LOVED Steve Irwin. Watched him from day 1. I was devastated to learn he had died...and by what? A STINGRAY! GEEZ.
Heath Ledger...another tragic untimely, not-necessary (he didn't HAVE to die) death. I can not believe he is dead! I feel so for his family, and that INCLUDES Michelle Williams, who must somehow blame herself. The media certainly didn't know whether to help her by feeling for her, or hurt her even more by BLAMING her, basically. I just can't seem to get it out of my mind sometimes. My husband thinks I'm weird!
And speaking of the media....since when has the news (and I mean like the REAL NEWS) become a bunch of rags sheets??? They no longer inform the public, they dictate things and they twist things, and they sensationalize things. THAT is NOT what the news is supposed to be about. How many times have you heard someone was murdered or beaten and the suspect is in custody and the media treats them as guilty until proven innocent...but when they ARE innocent? The media DOES NOT COVER IT!!!!! It amazes me. They cover it while the can blast someone's life into hell but they never vindicate the innocent. They are terrible. NO WONDER we are all angry most of the time, and stressed. You rarely hear ANYTHING good on the news. And let's make sure we bleed every last drop for money we can out of Heath Ledger's death. In fact, I believe it's the media's fault that I'm still not over it! I want to hear what's going on in the world and form my OWN opinion....not be handed it by the media. GO BACK TO BEING UNBIASED.
That's what I think...anyway.
