R.I.P Cory Monteith

Cory Monteith, Vancouver actor, who played Finn on Glee, was found dead today in a Vancouver hotel. He had checked in on July 6, and was scheduled to check-out today, however, when he did not, hotel staff checked on him and called emergency vehicles who declared him deceased when they arrived on the scene. No further details have been released. All news sources have the story currently and Cory's past struggles with substance abuse starting in his early teens have been mentioned, along with his stay in rehab earlier this year. It is suggested that he O.D'd, however, this has not been confirmed. His autopsy is scheduled for Monday, with results coming back in a few weeks. I am sure it will continue to make news as his family, friends, cast mates, and fans mourn this very tragic loss.

 

I am feeling absolutely shocked and devastated. I met Cory in July 2010 outside a Gastown resturant. He was very friendly, kind, chatted with my friend and I for a bit after taking some photos. I remember thinking he was so nice and genuine.

He was one of those actors Canadians, like myself, were proud to call "our own" Growing up locally, working as a greeter at Walmart, then, making it big on Glee. The little Canadian boy that made it big... I can't believe he is gone.


I wish his family and friends peace in this difficult time.

Robert Pattinson and Paparazzi this weekend - sick!

So I was thinking these photos were what people were gettng upset about then I saw the video - OMG - - First, if you hate paparazzi or feel bad for Rob DO NOT WATCH THIS..... it is disturbing (and I usually write-off most paparazzi to "their job" and "fans demand" but this one is actually REALLY bad!!!)

Warning - disturbing paparazzi stalking Rob video




I can't believe it - why do they follow him ALL day? Even when he says "You have tons of photos" and even when he STANDS and LETS THEM PHOTOGRAPH HIM they don't leave - they chase, they follow, he feels UNSAFE to even DRIVE - - - this is NOT cool!!!

I usually say "celebs needs fans" and "fans want photos" and "paparazzi take photos" but this is beyond that - - - this is harassment... I realize some may say fans asking for autographs or waiting outside sets is harassment - fine - but for me - I think fans wanting to meet them (as long as they are respectful) is ok - - - in fact (and I know many disagree with me but that's ok) even respectful paparazzi I don't have a problem with - i mean they get photos and as long as they are respectful to celebs (and there are some who are - - - see New Moon photos in Vancouver when cast would wave and smile at local papz) works ... but this - - - absurd!

movies, beach, shopping, it was daylight then it was night time - that is a whole fucking day of being followed.... absurd

There had been reports of Rob yelling at papz and lot's of website sensationalized the story making it sound dramatic, but it wasn't - Rob was cool, calm, respectful, and brutally honest.... the paparazzi were vultures - disgusting!

Some even reported Rob was shouting at paparazzi and hit someone else's car.... Read more here.

I am glad I was busy this weekend and missed this when it happened... the LA Paparazzi are disgusting!

Get your shot and go home - honestly!

Sick!
