Doherty must die.
Gawd. That was like Atticus out of To Kill A Mockingbird in the trial scene. Feel quite moved.
Can we all just get a grip here? Yes it's sad she was only 32. Yes, she may have displayed a smidgeon of talent in some flick or other, but can we just examine the causes and people surrounding this poor wretch?
I think it's ironic to the point of laconic hilarity when people espouse the "it's great to be off your head on coke/barbs/smack/whatever" lifestyle and living life on the edge, blah blah. None of the fucking people around this woman should be able to look in the mirror and think "nuthin to do with me guvnor".
How many fucking deaths does it take to kick this evil shit out of the trendy limelight? Think of all the fuckwits who love the image - Moss, Allen, Doherty, Katona - all rampant arseholes who could have been laid out on a slab tonight instead, and on retrospect might have been preferable that way too,...
Poor old Brittany. And to think a couple of years ago it could have been the other Britney. Death's a funny old game.
But I love letting one off in a kids face......
No need to give up all your fun. Just aim them away from kids faces
I'm 32, this story scares me. Time to start drinking wheat-grass and refusing the party poppers.
Poor kid - a tad too young to die eh
Drugs are bad for you, mmmmkay?
That's why I drink Diet (and I'm not even fat)...
Young. rich, beautiful, famous, Saturday night, coke, heart attack.... next
