No one has the right to dictate how death and feelings of loss should take priority in other people's hearts. If you can't be respectful, shut the f*ck up. All of these deaths are total tragedies, and trying to work out which is worse doesn't make you more humane, it just distracts from the true scale of what has happened. It also boils down to the fact that as a society, we have evolved to accept that the sole purpose for anyone in the mainstream entertainment spotlight is to be judged and exploited, and then thrown away in the bin. What ASTOUNDS me is that some of this shit-talking is coming from actors and other artists who i am sure would envy the success of someone like Amy Winehouse......... need i say more.
