It wouldn't be a proper celebrity death if there weren't other celebrities trying to cash in on it. In fact, if there's one thing celebs love cashing in on, it's other people's sadness. They're quite like HM in that respect. It's as if we're all just one big organism. A celebrodactl perhaps. Or a celebrodocus.

Apparently they do it because it makes them seem more human if they demonstrate an ability to grieve over anything sadder than Mother Theresa wearing a clown mask. A bit like how one of the only ways you can tell a robot from a human is to show them the Martin Bashir interview with Princess Diana and then check for eye moisture. If there is none, then you've a robot on your hands, my friend. A robot. A living, breathing robot.

Anyway, today is the day that both Lady Gaga and Aisleyne use Amy Winehouse's death to talk about their own worries. Strangely, if you had to guess which one knew Winehouse and which one was just bullshitting, you would have thought Gaga was the non-bullshitter wouldn't you? Nope. Still, that hasn't stopped her. Here she is on radio, talking about what we should all learn from Amy's death. Apparently, it's don't be nasty to Lady Gaga. Didn't see that one coming...

'It's a lesson to the world. Don't kill the superstar, take care of her soul.'

'I was nobody when she was first coming out. I would be on the street and people would go "Amy".'

'I just remember feeling like I wasn't alone because she was so different.'

And Twitter...

'Amy changed pop music forever. I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.'

That's nice isn't it? Not sure why anyone would care what she thought, but THE WORLD IS WHAT IT IS. Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (third in Big Brother 7, in case you were wondering how qualified she was) on the other hand, both knew Amy and wanted to clear up any misgivings that people had about the two of them being in drinking and drugging cahoots: (Via This Morning)

'I'm heartbroken anyway, losing Amy. I just want her back. But to have this thrown at me, and all the internet hate that I'm getting now. 

'The messages have been just vile and it's hard because it's not true. There's not a scrap of truth in it.'

'A certain journalist said that I was seen with her... he also said that I need to ask myself what I was thinking being in that situation with Amy when she was perhaps quite fragile.'

'The papers are saying the last time I was with her we were drinking. In fact the last time I was with her was in her house, in her kitchen, we were drinking tea and having a girlie gossip as I would with any friend. Just talking about guys.

Would everyone please just give Aisleyne a chance? And Gaga for that matter. Isn't it time we all just learned to get along? After all, aren't we're all in the same race, every single one of us. THE HUMAN RACE THAT IS.

Ho ho. Here's Diana…
