Whoa, seriously? That's so weird. It was only last Saturday that SNL had a short sketch about how completely retarded she was. It was only last Saturday I was laughing in her face, and now she's dead.

But seriously?

Seriously serious?

I dunno.

I didn't know Brittany Murphy. I only saw her in Clueless; that was a good movie. And sure, she was good in it, too. But I'm still surprised. Like, seriously? She's dead, no joke?

What is with celebrities and all dying at the same time? It's true what they say about celebrities dying in threes, I guess.

Seriously.

I really have to say this - why do we care about celebrity deaths? I mean, if I died, would there be big spectacles on the television? No. Same with the tons that die every day.

As for her, only thing I am familiar with is King of the Hill, assuming she is the one that was on it.

People are fans of celebrities. People you know you care, and people who cared about her care.
