Sorry to Say… (And sorry if it sounds
disrespectful)
Thinking about the middle book of that trilogy I recently wrote
about: The Dead and The Gone…..
is there no rest for poor Whitney Huston? I swear if I hear “And I – e-i-e-i-e-i will
always love you-oo-oo-oo-oo…” one more time, I am going to pull the
plug on the TV (or worse).
Do TV producers have such a dearth of information about
the world that we have been bombarded daily since the poor Ms. Huston
departed?
Despite her enormous talent, she was a soul consumed by
success and drugs and she left a daughter alone and inconsolable. She follows in the footsteps of others who have succumbed to their talent and success: Michael
Jackson, Heath Ledger, Marilyn Monroe, John Belushi, Janis Joplin, Jim
Morrison, Judy Garland and those whose struggles continue –
Demi Moore, Lindsey Lohan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robert Downey, Jr. and
the mega-meltdown of Charlie Sheen.
Where are their families?
Their producers? Their friends?
Their “people”? Who are the prescribing doctors? Are they all just on the gravy train?
To the TV and magazine
producers/editors: Stop glorifying! and for
heaven’s sake: MOVE ON!
If you
are still dying for more info, simply tune into Extra and Entertainment
Tonight or their cable channels. In
fact, maybe I should start a new cable channel -- Horrible Deaths and
Hollywood’s Mess (HDHM-TV) or how about a show called "Train Wrecks of Hollywood"? "Dysfuntion
Compunction"? or "Save Me From Fame and Fortune"? Not to worry – no one's going to have to rescue me any time soon.
....And I – e-i-e-i-e-i will always love you-oo-oo-oo-oo… .
