Only the Good Die Young

It always makes me really sad to read stories about mysterious movie star deaths. Look at Marilyn Monroe for example. No one really knows how she died, but she was so loved by the public and is still so freaking loved by the public. You can't go anywhere in Hollywood without seeing her face. It just makes me sad to think that for that one moment where she was possibly being murdered someone didn't care about her. I obviously didn't know her, but she seemed like a very nice and genuine person who didn't deserve death so soon.

I feel the same way when it comes to Natalie Wood. Her husband was with her when she died, but no one claimed to know what happened on the boat that night. But now, the captain of the ship is coming forward and saying he knows what happened and lied to authorities the first time they questioned him. Makes me wonder if he was paid off to keep quiet? Why come clean now. She's been dead for 30 years and now he's deciding to tell people there was more to the story? That sucks. No one deserves that. Whoever killed her could have been in jail this entire time.

At least we know what happened to James Dean. Why do the good ones always have to die young?

I Fear For America

I find it really weird when people go out and buy something for a million dollars that came from a celebrity or something shaped like Jesus. Remember when someone saw Jesus in a potato chip and it sold on eBay for like a million dollars? So weird. It’s going to disintegrate eventually right? Or remember the time a member of N*Sync bit into a waffle and that sold on eBay for a million dollars? That’s going to mold fast.

Well, recently someone bought x-rays of Marilyn Monroe’s chest for $45,000. Why? What are you going to do with those? I could replicate that and no one would be the wiser. Some people go nuts for things celebrities have touched. I can understand going gaga over an autographed picture because you know the celebrity touched it or the pen they used to sign the picture, but a waffle they chewed on and an x-ray? Come on people.

A glove Michael Jackson wore just sold for $190,00 as well. This one may be a little more understandable because it’s lined in jewels and what not, but I’m sure that it would have sold for that amount even if there weren’t any jewels. The thing that bothers me is that these people did nothing. Yes, entertainment is huge and I have my favorites celebrities as well, but they didn’t bring peace to the world or stop hunger. They sang a song and recited some lines. Why don’t people want to buy a pen from Abraham Lincoln for $50,000? The state of our world worries me sometimes.
