It is because of my addiction for net gossip that I recently found out that one of my favorite actors had passed away. I would have obviously found out anyway, but I found out before any of my friends knew, and it made me so sad.

I have always kept up on the entertainment reviews, and for this reason, I get a lot of stuff emailed to me on celebrities. It is not always a good thing, as it would have been easier to find out from someone I love than to read it on my computer screen.

At first, I thought it was some kind of sick email joke, but when I checked out sources, such as ratingzone, I found out that it was completely true. I had a good cry and then started calling my friends to let them know.

Some days, I wish I had just stuck to having reviews of movies emailed to my account and stayed away from the gossip. Sometimes the truth really hurts and it would be better to keep our heads buried in the sand and ignore the reality of life.
