Exactly. If we're discussing someone who devoted their life to spreading hate, like a prominent KKK member or something, then totally, let's all say good riddance. But if someone takes drugs, why should that be a reason to say their death isn't sad or that people shouldn't mourn?

At least she looked cute in The Fast and the Furious. But she has never been hot and nowadays she's definitely not hot.

Yep. Pretending to know people isn't my thing.

I'm sure there are plenty of others. I think River Phoenix was filming something when he died.
Phoenix was shooting "Interview With the Vampire" when he died.

Natalie Wood died during the filming of "Brainstorm." The resulting battle to finish it pretty much ended Douglas Trumbull's career as a theatrical film director.

Who was he to be? Armand? I ask because I recall that Anne Rice was very vocal with her displeasure over the casting of Antonio Banderas and said that it should have been Leonardo DiCaprio instead.

To each his own. She has the body of an emaciated 10-year-old boy and a very gaunt, skeletal face.

Like I said, she looked cute (in a girl next door sort of way) in The Fast and the Furious but she was never hot. And she's certainly not hot these days, looking her all time worst.

She's been hot since The Faculty.

You like her and I see nothing wrong with that, despite my disagreeing with you regarding her looks.

I thought it was the Christian Slater character.

Sad to hear his death. Didn't know he was in Pleasantville which I loved.

I read that he also donated his entire paycheck to River's favorite charities which I thought was pretty cool.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

This is low.

Paul Walker's daughter does NOT have a public social media page ... and his reps have already shut down one site run by an impostor.

Multiple news outlets posted stories Sunday morning saying Paul's 15-year old Meadow Walker -- pictured above with her dad back in June -- paid tribute the actor on her Facebook page after the crash ... only problem, its run by a fake.

We're told Paul's people instantly sprung into action when they discovered the BS page ... and contacted Facebook to have it removed ... which they did.

Of course this could be chalked up to shock and not having the full weight sink in yet. And I don't like the idea of critiquing the behavior of someone in mourning.
But I can't get over the sensation of how odd it seems to me (admittedly, an old fart) to see a child tweeting a RIP post in the hours after the out of nowhere death of their parent, which at the same time is so articulate and poised as well.
I don't doubt that she loved him, and vice versa- it's just the sense of manageable distance that the articulation implies is striking to me.

But then I expect that perspective is par for the course with celebrity and/or wealthy 1% households.

OTOH, maybe this is just how adolescents process experiences now- everything they experience is merely grist for perfunctory social media dissemination.

Disgusting but unfortunately not surprising (in response to MrSmearkase's post).

Didn't see the post directly preceding mine....that fully explains it.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

The pictures of Tyrese at the crash site are tugging at my heart strings, even though I wish he could've gone there in peace.

I guess when they said the Fast & Furious franchise was like family, they meant it.
