Do you get upset when your favorite celebrity or athlete get injured or even dies?? How much does this bother you? Do we, as normal people, feel emotionally attahced to these people who live their lives in the spotlight?
I like to watch E Entertainment on TV and read "People" magazines to keep up with those types of people I could never be. Why are their lives so interesting to us?
Did you cry when John Denver, John F.Kennedy Jr, Aliyah, Roberto Clemente, to name a few; were killed in plane crashes?
If one of "them" are diagnosed with cancer or admitted to the hospital, do you wish you could visit them or send a card?
Were you angry with Marian Jones for admitting she did steroids?
Just how much do you feel you are attached to the celebrities or athletes?
They are human, just like the rest of us. Tell me what you think.

Its always sad to lose someone in the public eye, someone you have followed through there career of whatever it might have been. People have a connection to them because they can relate in some way, realistically or not.
Its sad to lose someone always, but there is a time were we should let them rest in peace like everyone else, keep them in rememberence but nothing else should be made of it.

i am not really attached to anyone who don't know i exist... i mean, i have admirations for great artists, etc. but when something happens to them, to their lives i dont get affected too much. Though i will feel a bit lonely for a bad news, i dont cry for it like others would.. of course some news will be shocking to me but i'll be able to manage that.

I don't think I am so attached that I would go into emotional breakdown if something were to happen to someone famous. Though it does anger me somewhat when those that are role models for so many of the worlds youth do things that are unbecoming of a role model.. I know that they are human, and most likely they didn't ask to be anyones role model, they did choose a role in life which has a fanbase.

I sometimes do watch show biz tonight (if i can't find anything else)Mostly it just shows me that mega-rich people make rotten parents and mega rich young people make stupid decision that they can get away with. I do hate3 to hear that the older actors that i grew up watching have passed away.
