E!, CNN, and BET are all planning on airing Whitney’s funeral tomorrow. Live coverage starts at 11:30am ET/ 8:30 am PT. So tune-in, I guess????

And if you really want to know the play-by-play, E! is advertising that they’re offering up-to-the-minute details via their twitter feed. That does NOT sound so fun to me… I’m interested in watching the funeral (maybe), but I don’t know how inclined I am to keep up with a funeral online via Twitter. Sounds so morbid and unnecessary. Anyway, that’s that. I still can’t believe she’s passed, so sad…R.I.P. Whitney.

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    It’s exactly this kind of gross lack of decency and common sense that makes people hate the media. And rightly so.

    “Hey, people want it, so we’re just giving them access to the funeral!” doesn’t fucking cut it. People really want amphetamines, too, but it’s not good for society, so there are laws against them. Stabbing away at your iPad during a funeral is no better. What, do we need laws enforcing common decency now?

    Completely tasteless and classless.

    I despise the trend of public mourning that began with the farce that was Princess Diana. “Memorials” full of teddy bears and balloons and candles and flowers brought by people who just want to be able to say “I was there!”. Ugh.

    Just say no, people. Just. Say. No.

    Le sigh. I feel like reactions to celebrities’ deaths are becoming prefabricated.

    Whoops. Sorry @lestermaddox. I just basically restated your point.

    I wish they would take all the teddy bears and balloons put outside for a person they never knew and for a family who will never see the tribute, box them up, and take them to the nearest nursing home where there are people who never have a visitor or a person who gives a damn about them.

    It breaks my heart when I visit my mom (only 69 but in early on-set demensia) or my grandmother-in-law (who is now 105,) and see so many who have been forgotten. These people are so grateful for even a scrap of attention. And the excuse of “those people are so old, they won’t even remember we’re there” doesn’t cut it. THEY KNOW AT THAT MOMENT.

    It’s called compassion. And I would much rather see that than these pathetic attempts at celebrity twice removed.

    Rant over.

    Not to mention the fact that two weeks ago Whitney Houston was treated like the punchline to an over-told joke, and now that she’s dead, she’s a national treasure.

    Want to rehabilitate your image? All you have to do is die.

    “Want to rehabilitate your image? All you have to do is die.” Sad, NWMTV. but true. When my time comes I just want friends and family to tell silly stories (and I have given them plenty of ammunition).

    As Emily Dickenson said, “I’m a nobody…” and I have no admiring bog. Just people whom I love and who love me. RIP Whitney. You have those too. Love, SSC

    A terrible ending to an amazing talent, no doubt.

    But I have to agree with all the folks in an uproar about the flags being lowered to half-mast. This is done for people who have given their life in service to their country, whether in representing or defending the citizens of the United States.

    Lowering flags to half-mast for Whitney Houston cheapens the gesture. Ryan Seacrest (or anyone) tweeting excitedly through a funeral cheapens the mourning. UGH
