I guess.

I live and work near Hollywood and many of, "the FAMOUS," that to me, are just well known and recognizable ordinary people, who do a widely recognizable job (entertainment) and get paid lots of money for doing it. Being this close to the Hollywood scene, fortunately or unfortunately depending upon your point of view, I am not as, "Star struck," as many others apparently are. I do see many of "the FAMOUS," in everyday situations, doing the same things at the same places that I do.

Personally, I find it quite a bit more "Disturbing," to both see and hear about people being killed by the government in Iran and Car Bombs killing the innocent, in the Middle East. David Carradines Death, was "Disturbing," to me, mainly due to the odd nature and circumstances in which he died.

So for me, death by natural causes or incurable disease is merely a unavoidable factor of our human Life an Death cycle. If Michael Jackson was 20 years old, and died from an apparent heart attack, or heart failure, I would be a bit more "Disturbed," regardless of his "FAMOUS-ness!" But that is just me and the way I see things!

To ALL of the families that lost one or more family members, this week or this year so far, FAMOUS or not, My Sincere Condolences!
