Whenever a famous person dies, there are always mixed responses. People can be really weird and strange when they react to a celebrity death. For example, people gave so much shit to Paul Walker’s car crash and yet people are grieving for Philip Seymour Hoffman (who died of a heroin overdose). Let me say that again… P.S.H. is getting a lot of support from people when everybody bashed Paul Walker. Why? Paul’s death was an accident, he didn’t do that to himself. Paul didn’t drink alcohol or do drugs either, yet it’s looking like that P.S.H. OD’d himself to death. When James Gandolfini died, people gave him so much bullshit too when his death had nothing to do with drugs and alcohol.
Whenever women die of drugs or alcohol like say Whitney Houston or Amy Winehouse, everybody is like…. “people shouldn’t grieve for those junkies and alcoholics”, yet everybody here is grieving for P.S.H. for his heroin use. See, what’s wrong with the picture? Get what I’m saying?
I got so much shit for paying my respects to Pete Seeger and Margaret Thatcher. They didn’t die of drugs & alcohol but this post isn’t about that. This is about people responding to celebrity deaths in a negative way.
Why would people feel sorry for P.S.H. when the internet constantly bashed Kurt Cobain for his heroin addiction and other rock stars?
People can be pretty cold and evil when it comes to celebrity deaths in the news. People shouldn’t get slammed for grieving for celebrities when they die. It’s unfair and wrong. This is getting out of hand for sure. I report celebrity deaths on here to show my respects… I never cared about public opinion. I think all celebs deserve respects when they pass on. I pay my respects to all of them the best I can on here.
If there is a celebrity who died of someone who I don’t like or don’t care for, I just ignore it and let it slide by. I don’t respond. You can’t deny that people can get real nasty when it comes to celebrities dying.
People show their support and respects ’cause it’s the right thing to do. We don’t know them, sure but these people provide the entertainment for us. Celebrities and famous people are human like all of us. They’re gonna go like all of us. That’s the way the media works. The bigger the media gets in the world, the more people will respond.
People are crazy and nuts, I tell ya.

I don’t know why people even care about celeb deaths o begin with. Joplin, PSH. Cobain. Winehouse…dead junkies. Gandolfini- victim of an unhealthy lifestyle: he could have lived a lot longer with proper diet and exorcise. Wlaker- probably the saddest of the most recent. Although he wasn’t driving, he died as a result of irresponsibility. The guy driving the car was driving at a speed too excessive for the conditions. But the reason Walker got so much chit is because HE was all anyone was talking about. No One was mentioning anything about Roger Rodas. It was all Paul, Paul, Paul…
And that’s the real reason there is so much chit about celebrity deaths. It’s not news. People die every day. Celebrities are made out to be gods or heroes. It’s bullshit. I know dozens of people who have done far more heroic or noble things in their lives than celebrities, but nobody ever grieves for the common man. And that is what is really sad. Celebrities are no more important than every day people, but too may every day people just don’t get that.
I’ve always believed that it’s the right thing to do for the media to report these things. We should know ’cause people shouldn’t be left wondering what happened to them ’cause we’re the ones supporting these people by paying them to give the entertainment to us. Something to think about there.

I’m never left wondering about actors/rock stars/entertainers when I don’t hear or see anything from them. They mean nothing to me.
Two people I used to see every day for years:
There was a lady I used to see sitting on a park bench everyday around lunchtime, feeding the birds. There was another guy, I used to see everyday, walking, on my walk to work.
It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen either of them. I can’t help but wonder where they have been.
