Enough Already!


Hey Media! Enough. Okay? For more than week now, it's been Whitney Houston 24/7. I have had enough. I thought once the funeral and burial were over, we could move on to something else. But now it's "why did Bobby Brown leave the funeral?" and "is Bobbi Kristina now becoming addicted to drugs?". Let's leave the rest to the family, please.

On Saturday, her funeral was covered on every cable news channel. Was there nothing else newsworthy going on in the world? Apparently not. Then, after the funeral, we had everyone deconstructing the funeral and commenting on the funeral. Why do they do this? Does anyone really want to hear it all? It's really aggravating.

Apparently *rest in peace* is not for the famous. Poor family, and the rest of us, too.

I know. It just goes on and on.

I saw a snippet - Kevin Costner droning on and on about himself. The relevance was lost on me, but the massive ego wasn't, and I switched off.

I saw a snippet too. That was enough. It's been crazy; for a week every time we turned the TV on there was another song of hers playing. I never did like that song from "The Bodyguard" and they kept playing it over and over and over. I kept turning it off. My husband began to tease me, singing it loudly to me so I had to cover my ears.

nothing up here in Canada ! phew

I actually LOVE that Bodyguard song - I used to torment my co-workers by singing along with it (office top 40 station back in the day) - makes me laugh thinking about I SO cannot sing but she had spectacular voice. I come from a long line of addicts so I have much compassion for her substance issues - very sad & hard I think when you are so in the limelight.
