i had NO idea eunice johnson died. i sure knew casey johnson died. what did casey do? get arrested, make out with tila (meghan's bff), fight with ex grrrlfrends, have her trophy adopted daughter taken away by her mother and on and on (i don't mean to be cruel here. i am just saying there is NO reason we all needed to keep a non newsworthy person in the news. OUR faults on that one.)
