Because I have only seen one post on my flist about it, I feel the need to fill the space a little:

Anna Nicole Smith is dead.

She never interested me very much, but it seems strange that my flist has thus far been so quiet about it. Of course, we're coming up on the five year anniversary of Kevin Smith's death (the Kiwi actor, not the filmmaker - obviously), so I'm maybe I'm just feeling a little contemplative about celebrity deaths right now.

!!! I don't really give a crap about her, but the death is kinda surprising. And ONTD is "suspended". What am I supposed to do??!?!

My heart breaks for all the wank (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank) that we will be missing out on. Sure, we still have fanficrants, customerssuck, badservice, and so on, but ONTD brought the special wank. And this is craptacular timing; you know this would have been the finest wank yet.

... okay, it's back, and the post is nearing 1000 comments. Unsurprisingly.

Woo! *happily wades in* I usually only read ONTD when it's been wanked, but this time I just have to make an exception.

My flist is exploding in Anna Nicole. Every other post has been about her. I don't really care/not care for her particularly, but it's still kind of sad to me.

Heh, I must have the wrong people friended, then.

Yeah, I've always been neutral on Anna Nicole myself, but this is a sad thing. She had a rough time, and the death of her son was especially awful.

My f-list had a few posts. It's sad, but somehow not surprising.

I know. I'm mostly familar with Anna Nicole's recent story through having to listen to Entertainment Tonight at the laundromat, but it still seems to me that this is really the only fitting end. That poor woman.

I know. I'm kind of sad. She had a rough time.

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

She really did. It's all a shame.

Kevin Smith will always be my God of War

I had never before understood why people got so upset over celebrity deaths, but his death broke my heart. I was in genuine grief. It still makes me sad to think about it.

I think she's hilarious. Watching her show was like a long skit on Saturday night live.

I'm still a bit behind on my flist, but so far you're the second one posting about it.

Though she's (as far as I know) virtually unknown around here, her death was mentioned on the news, along with an explanation of who she actually was.
