I can't say that I have ever mourned the passing of any celebrity, but I can tell you where I was or what I was doing when I heard of the passing of some famous folks. I look at it as a moment in time that gets marked for you to which you can tie something happening in your own life. For example I can tell you when Lyndon Johnson died (former US president for the non US folks out there), we had just put my mom on a plane to go the funeral of a beloved aunt and when my dad and I went to my grandmother's for supper that evening it was all over the TV about LBJ's passing. I always connect his passing to the aunt's death. Stuff like that. I remember sitting and watching coverage of the passing of Pope John Paul II, and I'm not even Catholic. For an iconic figure like that, it's watching history happen.

But to sit and cry over some celeb? Nah. Sorry to see them go? Sure ... some of them.

So I read the news headlines today and had to vomit.

Apparently Ms.Houston's funeral service is by exclusive invitation.....this includes to her ex husband who is the father of her daughter.
Whether or not she was a diva isn't even important here, it is now clear her friends:rolleyes: her family and managers are turning this entire thing into a joke. Not even a 3 ring circus, just a joke. They have no respect of her even now that she's dead. Probably already making deals to get her life story turned into a movie and use film from the funeral to make more money. UGH!

I don't understand the people that are fans outside a funeral and crying. I think...don't they have a job?...how can they do that? Anyway, I do understand the loss to a degree. I love the Carpenters music. Christmas without the sound of Karen Carpenter is not the same. I hear her voice and always have two minds. One, what a melodic voice. Maybe the most unique to my ear. Two, I think what an awful shame this nice lady could not have lived a long life. She had so much to give to people and seemed like a wonder person. I feel a loss of a type when I think of her. I wish, for her sake alone, that she could have been helped soon. It must have been so difficult for her on so many levels. All I can end up thinking is rest in peace, rest in peace. So, for whatever it is worth. It is a real loss for me.
