shite...90% of the politard board is still crying over an election that happened 3 years ago.
Grown. fricking. Men.
Supposedly anyway.
I lived in NOLA when Trump won. I literally saw grown men sobbing on the street over Hillary Clinton. I was aghast.

If Salma Hayek died today I would cry. Then my chances of smashing that are really 0.0%

Have you actually witnessed someone do this or are you just fantasizing?

My life will be grieving if Bruce Hornsby dies before I do. I have been a fan since 1986.

Company used I worked for used to deal with some high end clients. She was one of the worst. Totally degrading and demanding.
We canceled a thing for Martha Stewart as her people were incredibly unreasonable, shes as difficult as you may think.
Ms Newton-John just had a better public persona.

depending on your comfortability level with necrophilia, your chances actually probably go way up.

I was chilling on the beach with friends and family when the news of MJs death broke. I had been drinking and had a good buzz. Sitting in a chair under an umbrella with my wife and a couple other friends just watching our teen and younger kids doing beach stuff. When my buddy’s wife Julie said “oh my God! MJ died!” It took a few seconds to process before I flew into an emotional breakdown. I just went limp and tilted over out of my beach chair belly and face first into the sand. And sobbed uncontrollably for awhile. I couldn’t be consoled. I wanted to be alone. Once I was able to gather myself I got up and grabbed a boogie board and just floated out about a mile not caring where the current would take me or if I would be eaten by sharks. I was hauled back in an hour later against my will by a lifeguard on a jet ski
Sarcasm I hope.

Big time. We were supposed to supply logistics for her and her people and the day before said "frick it."

I tend to agree with OP but i tell you what the day we lose Mr. Feeney is gonna be a dark one

I'll give my Monday morning hot take on this topic. I used to think and talk just like the OP - get a grip, these celebrities are mostly vapid, horrible people, they dont give a shite if you live or die, so why would you shed an ounce of emotion for them, etc etc. conceptually i guess i still kind of agree with that notion. but the older i get, the more i stop really caring about when it's "ok" to cry about something. for a lot of people, "Friends" was a monumental part of their lives - and these characters were almost like real people felt like we were actually friends with them. in some ways we were and are - some of my real life friends and my brother and i still quote friends from time to time. there is a certain emotional connection between us and Matthew Perry and Chandler Bing that is more than just "oh who cares, he's just a celebrity, and he's no more real than Mickey Mouse". there's an element of nostalgia at play here, as well as a sense of our own mortality - if Matthew Perry, who we still mostly view as a twenty-something from Friends, died, then we have to deal with the fact that we are no longer carefree twenty-somethings. that is a hard reality, and people handle that kind of existential quandary in different ways. it's not inappropriate or unusual for those kinds of thoughts and emotions to evoke tears, in my opinion.
that said, i've never cried over a celebrity death, because i'm not an over-emotional pussy.

Now, Mel Gibson was genuine. Saw him smoking a cig with the bellman at the Baranof Hotel, just chatting away. He didnt like all the celeb fuss.

I must admit, I got a little misty eyed when Dale Earnhardt passed....

I was actually pretty crushed when Rodney Dangerfield died.
