R.I.P. Carrie Fisher and now Debbie Reynolds :(

[Imp]

The question is, are companies not allowed to pay tribute to famous people now, even if it's obvious marketing? I don't feel like it was done in poor taste. She & her hair are cultural icons.

If people are mad at Cinnabon, they should be mad at Lucas Film/Disney too for all the Star Wars mentions -- and probably every other Twitter user in case they get picked up on the news or retweeted by someone famous. Free marketing, yo.

And the SJW... People love getting mad. They may even be giving shit to Billie Lourd's co-stars in Scream Queens for not tweeting how sorry they are... because everyone knows that her friends/co-workers didn't talk to her in person, on the phone, or use any other means of communication.

IIRC, the "play" was her one woman show Wishing Drinking. She donated the wig to a silent auction for a school charity in Pasadena. I think I bid $500+ for it and since there were no other Star Wars fans in there, the next closest bid was like $125.

I still have it in my closest. It's one of those, "what the heck am I supposed to do with this" kind of items.

I feel better about myself paying $225 for a New Years Eve bash ticket to be with friends now. Thanks!

I didn't realize Carrie Fisher was bi-polar, I thought she was just an addict. I have bi-polar I disorder that took forever to get diagnosed properly.and it's given me some really low lows, along with many highs. Watched some interviews with her and she seemed like a really cool cat. I had no idea.

Went to order one of Fisher's non-fiction books on Amazon and they are all sold out. Very excited to order one when they are back in the saddle.

I don't really have a problem with comedians joking about anything, this just wasn't funny. I don't really find DL Hughley funny in general, though. That said, certainly not outraged.

That's David Prowse.. Of course they didn't use his voice for Darth Vader.

Thank god they didn't use Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.

Damn...first Carrie Fisher...then her mom, Debbie Reynolds...now her dad, Eddie Fisher? Is there some kind of gypsy curse on that family?

Crap...Eddie Fisher died in 2010?

For some reason, his death popped up in this morning's Seattle Times news feed...

Honestly, I think her heart attack stemmed from the forced weight loss she did for the Force Awakens and sequel.

experts says u can safely lose 10lbs the 1st months and 5lbs each subsequent month.

how many months in advance did she know that she was in VII?
and she should have acceptable weight when VIII started shooting...

Carrie Fisher Has Been Cremated and Will Be Buried Alongside Debbie Reynolds

The Star Wars actress, who went into cardiac arrest on a plane and died four days later at age 60, stated in her will that she wanted to be cremated, according to TMZ. However, her mother, Debbie Reynolds — who passed away at age 84 after suffering a stroke on December 28 — specifically requested that her body be buried. The websites report that some of Fisher’s ashes will be buried alongside Reynolds’ coffin at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles.
