I have been away on vacation in the mystical, magical south (South Carolina & Georgia, to be precise) and I thought for sure that when I returned yesterday, I’d find that U.K. reality star Jade Goody would have died in my absence. To my amazement, I found that she was gasping but somehow still alive last night. However, a few hours later, her battle with cervical cancer ended. I’m sad and disappointed as Jade’s death marks the death of an obsession, and there just don’t seem to be any other exhibitionists dying right now. Patrick Swayze is on his last legs too, but you don’t see him doing a reality show about it. Pity. We need more celebrities like Jade to fulfill our morbid voyeuristic impulses!
Rest In Peace, controversial one.
Indeed she was controversial and most likely opened peoples eyes to what cervical cancer really *is* – I liked her spunk and since I follow the UK Red Tops, I’ve heard of Jade for some time now. RIP I feel for her boys, now without a mother at such a very young age.
I know this also must have brought back some hurt all over again too.
Cheers mate
