The murder of Lana Clarkson
Mostly about how it was being reported, the press saying she was "Best known for some walk on she had in Fast Times At Rigdemont High" because they were too prudish to mention some b-grade sword & sandal flick.
Seems like it wasn't until well into the trial of Phil Spector, & started interviewing some of her friends, that they were willing to mention that she was the star of The Barbarian Queen, & how good she was in it...
I thought of LANA CLARKSON too.  I have a soft spot for her. 
I think I spotted her on Love Boat reruns... at least she got justice and the crazy fool is in prison.

 Lux Interior of the Cramps . I love their music.
They started as a band in 1976, and quit in 2009 when Lux died.  Bluesad

Erin Moran
Now mind you, I really only heard her side of the story a couple of times in the early '90s, which is why I was so empathetic.

As I understood it, she became the meal ticket to a white trash family, who spent all her money before she was old enough to touch it, then had the gall to try & sue her for all the money they'd spent.
And of course, after the Happy Days franchise dried up, she couldn't get a foothold on her own in Hollywood, so she ultimately tried to put some distance between herself & that town, but the paparazzi wouldn't leave her alone (probably making more money than she did).
And then when she died, Scott Baio, another person who had allegedly betrayed her in the past had to go on the attack with some tangent about drugs, not knowing or caring that she had died of cancer.

I also took Paul Walker's untimely passing very hard.

I remember being really annoyed when Ronnie James Dio died. I'd had tickets to see him live.

Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob Squarepants. Died around the same time as Stan Lee.
He wasn't very old either. He had ALS and died at 57.

Stan Lee. Granted, lived a nice full life. Still hit me hard.

Joe Strummer.

Joey Ramone.

Eddie Guerrero. Watched him overcome his addictions to die at 38.

Anthony Bourdain murdering himself absolutely enraged me. I wanted to go kick his corpse and yell at him. Such a stupid loss that will always hurt me.

Nah, Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. He died when I was about four and they did a show about his death (the actor died and they killed off his character) and I watched the episode where his passing was announced on the show and dealt with, and it made me sad. That was my first celebrity death and huge in my little life.

I mean, mental illness sucks. Just speaking as one who's dealt with bipolar disorder and anxiety for the majority of my 35 years on this planet. 

I get being mad at the guy, grieving.  But it's a horrible place to be in, in that space between our ears.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
