So sad. She had her issues, but she was so forceful and fun.

Talk about it.

I think she may have taken her car and gone chasing waterfalls.

At least, that's what I heard.

Hey, why doesn't somebody post a link, for the benefit of all of those of us who live under a rock?

Ack! Sorry, PG. Here's the CNN report.

You are evil. I think it was that she just wasn't used to the rivers and lakes of Honduras.

It is sad, though. Atlanta radio stations are acting like the a member of royalty has died. I heard a 10-minute discussion the other day about her "amazing midriff" and how people would "always miss it."

Why come Lisa gets a thread, but poor dead Lynn Staley (http://entertainment.msn.com/news/eonline/042202_staley.asp) doesn't even get a "we'll miss you, homey"?

I mean, the guy sat for days rotting in his apartment. No fabulous Honduras vacation with friends for him.

Oh, they came to snuff the rooster. You know, he did die.

Mtv has already whipped together a "tribute" show to Left Eye.

Hah. That's so wrong.

Of course, I was at the office when the news broke, and joked that my headline would be "Jane said: Staley's dead."

I'm still waiting for the Linda Lovelace thread.

I'm waiting for the first joke about the wild party that's going on if all three (Staley, Lopes, Lovelace) made it to the same place.

Someone needs to examine the Superman angle. Lisa Lopes, Linda Lovelace, Lyle Lovett (even though he didn't die). That's a lot of double L's.

If I were Lorenzo Lamas or LL Cool J, I'd be more than a little concerned.

Sadly, Linda Lovelace will not be partying with Left Eye and Layne since she had become a staunch anti-porn activist and devoted mom.

Ya know Staley is up there going, "Man, of all the porn stars who could of died at the same time I did, why did it have to be her?"

Then he tries to hit on Lefy Eye and he gets a nasty slap in the face followed by a rousing chorus of "No Scrubs".

He's really not having a good time, I'm sure.

Why wait?

Because I'm a gentleman.

Here's how much of a good girl I am. I don't even know who Linda Lovelace IS. (Although I do understand the concept of context clues, so I'm gonna guess porn star.)

Then she burns down his house.

As an aside, on the Today show news report the morning she dies, they managed to pronounce Andre Rison's name wrong twice, in two different ways. (Rison = A former football star and her boyfriend, whose house she torched a few years ago). I wasn't aware that his name was all that difficult to say before.

I just had what one could only call an embarrassing outburst of laughter.

You know when that happened she was like "I wasn't TRYING to burn down the house! I just threw all his stuff in the bathtub and set it on fire! I didn't know it would melt and catch the whole house on fire and burn it to the ground! Oops!"

And then they got back together. Theirs was a true love. Believe me, if I threw all the MOC's books and cds in the tub and burned it, he would very quickly chase me down a waterfall.

When I asked my husband if he'd heard about Left Eye, he snorted and said, "What?" like he was prepared to hear a funny arrest story. Instead, she's gone. I'll miss that about her, the expectation that she'd wear or say or do something outrageous. Much more than her abs.

The funniest part about the house-burning episode was the VH-1 Behind the Music in which she explained how it was an accident. She said she had burned all Andre's stuff in the bathtub before. But the bathtub had been ruined and, unbeknownst to her, he'd replaced the marble tub with a fiberglass one. So the NEXT time she burned his stuff in the tub, the highly flammable fiberglass went up like a dry hay stack and she was facing an inferno.

So, you know, it was KINDA his fault.

"I'd been drinking, I don't know, and I looked in the closet and there were all these shoes, and none of them were a size 2 . . . "

Best line of the ep, followed closely by Chili's "Turn on Channel 5!"

Her funeral was today in Atlanta, and you know coverage led all the evening newscasts. Something like 6-7,000 fans showed up and they ALL got into the church. Of course Whitney and Bobby snuck through the back door later.

Why is everyone being so cruel?? This girl was my role model. Now if u want u can reply with ur lil sarcastic comments but if u don't care, just stay outta this. This is LeftEye's site not anyone elses. If ur mourning someone elses death, make a site for them dont take it out on Lisa fans because we care enough about her to put up websites and talk about her. I love Lisa and I will never forget her. Please dont hate on something that is already so sad. How would y'all feel if a close member of ur family died so tragically at such a young age and everyone laughed and made jokes at that? Lisa's family and friends DO NOT need jokes about "maybe she was chasing waterfalls" how sick can u get? Maybe u guys didnt like her but there is plenty of people who did. Stop being so heartless, I sure hope noone is so cruel about u when u die. RIP Lisa i'm gon miss u so much. Hope i'll c u again someday Ilove u 4eva REST IN PEACE u will never b 4gotten xXxXxXx
