They sure stay on top of it, don't they?

Posted: 1/17/08 at 8:43pmThey write what sells. And, unfortunately, this is what does.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 8:49pmThis isn't unusual. There are obituaries prepared for most celebrities and public figures while they are alive.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 8:54pmYeah, it's really only remotely newsworthy because of the attention it's gotten. Pseudo-events at their very best.

Well then...
there's a WAR going on! Don't we have ANYTHING else to write about besides people not having anything to write about but the death of celebrities?

Posted: 1/17/08 at 9:05pmYeah, but usually only public figures who have reached a considerable age.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 9:09pmDo we have to hear about how she, too, was a modern-day Marilyn Monroe?

Everyone of any note as blueroses noted has an obit on file
Britney would be still be a good pick for a death pool although I'd pick Amy Winehouse.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 9:49pmEveryone has an obituary on file- well Everybody who is ANYbody. Did you notice- 25 year old Brad Renfro's Obit was up and running in minutes? When young reporters have nothing to do they are assigned to review all obituaries and make sure they are ready to run at a moment's notice.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 10:11pmWe should all write obits for each other!
....but the world goes 'round

"We have a freaking WAR going on!"
Yes, we do-...and?
Sure, there are obits and video bios, entire documentaries, already made and ready for when a celeb dies. Each network and tabloid wants to be the first to air it!
