Do you "grieve" for celebrities?

My wife got this email today from a relatively superficial friend (not a "best friend" or even a close friend) that said, in part, "I am numb, stunned and speechless, having a hard time functioning and can't get my mind on anything else but profound sadness..."

This was over Farrah Faucett and Michael Jackson.

Sure, I'm sad that they died, but no more than when I read in the newspaper of some random person dying in a car accident.

Am I heartless, or am I closer to the way most people feel? Have you ever felt "numb, stunned and speechless" over a celebrity's death?
