I don't care. I just hope I don't have to hear about it as long as Michael Jackson.

Tragic I hate to here stuff like that from a gifted person.

Tragic, but that's the path for a lot of stars.

... well, when people pass, you remember them how you want to remember them ...

I agree. If she "was" an illegal drug addict and went to a "legal" drug addict, she is still an addict. Terrible disease and a terrible life for all involved. She was very talented and drugs destroyed her, very sad. Doesn't put her on a pedestal to me.

Very sad to see someone waste their gift for drugs. She choose drugs over here daughter her family. It's just a dam shame. Money might not be able to buy happiness but it can kill ya.

Agreed and I would also like to hear less about Elvis on his death anniversary date. Birthdate. How long has this guy been dead? Really. About 35 yrs now. He has a postage stamp. He, a drug addict , was given a USA postage stamp. Then again, Bille Holiday was also given a USA postage stamp.
