Uncalled for.
She was a junkie, I did not care for her music. Heard she drowned in the hotel bathtub. (At least that is what TMZ is reporting)
Just another celebrity who could have had the world at her feed (and did) and pissed it away. Excuse me if you feel I'm being disrespectful, but it's her fault and only hers.
Spot on, Ed. Fuck her and any other celebrity junkie. I don't feel a twinge of sadness for them.
I have to agree, and I mean no disrespect to her family, but I have a special hard-on for Xanax or any other Benzodiazepine, ESPECIALLY when mixed with alcohol. People should learn better by now. A healthy measure of anxiety is a normal part of our life experience, but people are being taught that it's a "disorder" that needs to be treated with meds. Problem is, it only increases the problem as the body builds up a tolerance (and an addiction) for it. Of the prescription drug addicts I've known, Xanax, Klonipin, etc. is right near the top of the worst-offenders list.
Responsible doctors I've known refuse to prescribe them long term -- if anything, very short term for "intense grieving periods". But there are always docs out there willing to pass that crap out like candy.
