Oh my God, Nicole is killed? Oh my God, she is dead?

I've just had some bad news. Tomorrow is the mother in law's funeral. And she's cancelled it.

I believe that shows should be shot where they take place.

I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.

Heath Ledger's recent death, like that of River Phoenix, was handled with great care by the press. Anna Nicole Smith's not so much.

Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.

All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.

In 2002, my husband died very suddenly. My main concern that day was how to deliver the news to our daughter, then eight. Someone put me in touch with Judith Wallerstein, an expert in child psychology who coached me through what to say.

Michael died five years ago this January, and the first thing that really struck me about the script was the part about her peeling off from the funeral and just getting into a rowboat and having a real kind of cry where nobody was.

I'm fairly certain when I die that the obituary will say, 'Author of 'Angels in America' dies.' Unless I'm completely forgotten, and then it won't say anything at all.
