Alright, unless you have been living under a rock for the past couple of hours Heath Ledger is dead.
I'll be the first to admit that Mr. Ledger's untimely death shocked me. I think my jaw even dropped when I saw the headline on CNN.com. However, does this really need to command an hour of continuous news coverage?
Once again Larry King has changed his program to cover a celebrity death in a matter of hours. It first happened last year when Anna Nicole Smith died. Now Mr. King is dedicating his show to the coverage of Mr. Ledger's passing.
I am sorry but this is ridiculous.
If you want to cover "entertainment news" then join the E! network, Entertainment Tonight, or some other show. Please get off CNN which is supposed to be a respectable "news" organization. And don't get me wrong because CNN is my news network of choice...probably because I have a man-crush on Anderson Cooper.
Every day the media is assaulted and then Larry King Live does this.
I seriously want to shoot myself in the face listening to these "hard-hitting questions" that are being asked about the factors surrounding the death of Mr. Ledger.
Something is wrong when I would rather watch Fox News than CNN.

I respect a man that can admit a man crush. ;P
Sounds like we're on the same page regarding the coverage of Ledger's death.
