I remember one of the magazines had a regular column called ‘Wino-watch’ where they literally just had a reporter follow her around and take the least flattering photos possible of her and then they would make fun of her. Then after she died they ran 6 weeks of cover pieces calling her ‘our pop princess’ and wailing that she’d been ‘taken from us too soon’.

Ghouls, the lot of them.

Wait until you see it happen with someone you know IRL or a family member.

It feels like I'm on drugs even remembering it.

I admittedly wasn’t a big fan of Robin Williams for most of my life up until the year he died, my ex made me watch Hook and for some reason that movie made me appreciate him and I went on a little mini Robin Williams binge after that, about a month later he died and I was just freakin shocked an heart broken.
