Well, I suppose we’ll find out soon enough – it could only be a suspension and they haven’t gone around to changing the title. ---

OTOH, unlike the OP, apparently, I can understand how this event may spark a thread or two. Me either, although I did like _Clueless_, but I believe the appropriate response is not to open the thread about the celebrity I don’t care about. ---

Everyone, be kind to **Cleveland Steamer**. Brittany Murphy’s death just caused him to realize that he’s going to die completely alone, completely unmourned, and will be completely forgotten by everyone. ---

**Cleveland Steamer** might feel better knowing that I hadn’t heard a peep about her death, had to google Ms. Murphy to figure out who she was, and still can’t recall having seen her in anything. But not much better, because I didn’t know any of the 25,000 children either. ---
