But then I remember that paparazzi literally drove the beloved Princess Diana to her death, and even THAT didn't make a difference.

I see that you essentially made the same point earlier, Katherine.

I have been following news breaks pretty closely (I guess that is what remains of my grief) and in the last handful of days several celebrities have checked themselves into rehab or psychiatric treatment:

Amy Winehouse
Britney Spears
Eva Mendes
Justin Chambers

is it possible that a few Hollywooders are getting scared straight?

I thought there was a fifth one but I am still searching.

If he's "clean" (no opiates or illegal substances), what's the point? I bought this issue of PPL, but I certainly wouldn't buy the one that MOREMOJO is alluding to.
As is, Heath is not around to defend himself.

I did buy the People magazine -- for that kind of rag, IMO it really wasn't too bad; and some very nice pictures. They were rather cautious not to make too many definite statements about either drugs or the cause of death. Don't have it in front of me, but I think they mentioned Heath's "partying" as a factor in the breakup.

Verona:
I'm a bit surprised George Clooney has not made a statement yet. He's always been very outspoken about the paps, and confronts them at every turn... he thinks they're criminals who are a danger to society. Surely he must have something to say.

One of my favorite quotes of his:

"They're not trying to catch me doing something stupid; they're trying to create me doing something stupid. You don't get to break all these laws and then say, 'I'm just doing my job.' The guys that commit all these crimes are rewarded for it. It creates bounty hunters in a way."

George... you're one of my heroes for your bravery and candor, the way you speak up for those who can't. Where are you when I really need you?

Cute gossip of the day:

Eric Roberts, who worked with Heath on 'The Dark Knight' described him as "A real sweetie pie."

Who knew?  Sounds like Roberts was quite taken with our boy!
