Sitting in front of my computer, listening to Celtic music, just found out that Corey Haim died, how sad. Lost Boys was one of my favorite movies in the 80's, when I was a teenager, I think I still have the soundtrack somewhere. I can't say I'm all that surprised, like when Heath Ledger passed a couple of years ago. Some celebrities' deaths are sad & shocking, but not that much of a surprise, if you've seen pictures of him recently. Sort of like Brad Renfro.
I saw the weirdest website earlier, Celeb4aday.com, where for a fee you can hire papparazzis to follow you around for 30 minutes to an hour, taking your picture and making it look like you're a celebrity walking down the street to the nightclub or out of Starbucks. For anywhere from $300 to $1500 you can have various levels of Star Treatment, with a tabloid magazine detailing your experiences as a souvenir. Crazy.

Hey Michelle,
Yes, sudden death of a star you liked leaves you with a sense of loss. I think it's not just the star but the personal memories associated with his films, songs etc that too become a lost past. I was not a big Jackson fan but with him passing away I felt a small slice of my childhood also faded away.
Ya, those are ways to exploit others' narcissistic obsession with themselves.
Take care.
