That is such a sweet picture of Brooke & MJ. I thought her going with him to the Grammys was just a publicity stunt, but her speech at the memorial obviously negates that. I wonder if was still in touch with him up until his death...

Brooke sounds like she's talking about her best gay friend, not a guy who she supposedly dated (so the mags said at hte time, I recall). I thought the same thing when listening to her speak at his memorial. If he were in the closet, I wish he would have just come out. I think he just felt so misunderstood in so many ways.

That picture of Brooke and Michael just warms my heart. They look so sweet and happy and innocent and I kind of wish they could have just stayed like that forever.

That's the way that I want to think of Michael, whenever I think of him in the future. Just like that, caught in that happy moment. It's lovely.

I don't know if I could be a roommate to one of the Harry Potter kids. Imagine how hard it would be to stop yourself from blurting incantations at random times:

You broke a lamp: "Reparo!"

To your loud neighbors: "Avada Kadavra!"

To your homework: "Incendio!"

Well, that, and the fact that I'm pretty sure I'd try to convince them to dress up like HP characters for Halloween.

@Mafalda para Presidente: And every time they'd complain about an assignment, you'd have to make a joke about how many lengths of parchment it needs to be or say something snotty like, "oh, its not like you're fighting the dark lord, it's only an econ problem set".

I hope this doesn't come across as crude, but if I had to put up with that circus in the TMZ video every freakin day, I'd wanna be hopped up on some heavy duty painkillers as well. I was watching something where MJ talked about how he can't even go to a grocery store and just walk around and fill up a cart & he just wanted to know what normal life is like. I can't even imagine the loneliness and isolation, it ripped my heart out.

I wish at some point there would be a greater discussion of how we treat our celebrities as if we own them, and the reverence we show doesn't contain respect for their lives.

@erinna: I thought the same thing. I couldn't even watch those TMZ videos the whole way through. The man is at the doctor's office and hundreds of people are blocking the exit, screaming at him. I can't even imagine what that was like. No wonder he abused medication.

The whole thing just makes me so sad.

Daniel Radcliffe joked, "I really hope they are a really massive Harry Potter fan. I hope you walk in and the first thing you see is your face on a duvet."
I think her roommate is going to shit her pants when she walks in the room, thus warranting a clothes change, thus revealing her Hermione panties.

The fact that Daniel Radcliffe used the word "duvet" in a joke entertains me greatly. And I so wish Emma Watson had been my freshman year roommate ... not that she would have slummed it at NYU. But oh, the fun we would have had. She probably would have been neater than my freshman year roommate, too.

@solidbrassfasteners: I imagine it would also be super awkward at first though, no? Even if Emma's as nice as she comes across in interviews and the like, it's gonna be like...."Hi, I'm wildly famous. Prepare to have be chased down by random people in the street wanting to ask you about me. Sorry about that!"

That jennifer aniston thing sounds like such a crock. They're trying to get in the news after Angelina's secret trip to visit soldiers made the news.

Of course JA could do something nice - but this? sounds really odd. And something really stupid to brag about.

@Bunsen Honeydew: It's pretty well known that Aniston's pr team will do anything to keep her in the news. See: the recent Bradley Cooper "date", which wasn't a date at all, yet has now become a new storyline we're all supposed to fall for.

So tiring.

I'm secretly wishing that the first thing Daniel Radcliffe sees when he walks into his college dormitory on Christmas Day is hundreds of posters with his face saying "Have a Harry Christmas!"

Better yet, a whole cafeteria full of them.

Looks like the MJ love fest is over, i thought they'd at least wait till the autopsy results to dredge up the past drug history. I'm totally flashing back to Heath Ledger, sad stuff.

Oh geez, Ryan Reynolds. "Over the moon?" You have been reading too many celebrity pregnancy announcements.

Also, Brooke Shields's quote is kind of sweet and sad...and revelatory. I sometimes wonder just how alone MJ felt.
