Actually my first thought when MH died was Bob had him bumped off...so to think that ...yes Erica he gave Michael and Paula absolute hell...why would bob geldof feel guilty? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi All, This is an interesting topic..........I visited a web site, you may want to go see it. It's actually a dedication to Saint Bob, however, there is a guestbook on the site you can go to. I went to it and wrote a little tidbit about how I blame him for MH's demise. I didn't really want to tick off the guy who own's the site, so I did go back in and give him a compliment on doing a nice job on the site, which he has done, but it's just too bad the nice job is dedicated to such a relentless s%#@head. If you are interested in reading the guestbook remarks I entered, here is the site: http://www.bobgeldof.com, then go to read the guestbook, and look for my name "Michelle." Not sure what else I put in on info for myself, as my PC is messed up and I can't get into anyweb sites right now. You'll just have to look for my entry. It's not hard to find. I just wanted them to know in there how this MH/INXS fan feels about the man they think is so wonderful. As far as Michael haunting Saint Bob, well, I hope to God it's true, yet I hope Michael, is at peace, also---------satisfied and happy, where ever he is!

Actually my first thought when MH died was Bob had him bumped off.. Relating to the statement above, from Donna, here is what I have to say: I have always felt that there was something very wrong with the picture where Michael's death is concerned. It's too much for me to write on here, and very controversial, but if you are interested in reading it, I have some of it on my homepage: http://hometown.aol.com/mystify21/ I'm just very torn about all the circumstances around his death, and I can't and probably never will, come to a final conclusion as to what I believe really happened to him that heartbreaking day. I do believe there is more to it, than what the world is being told. Any way you look at it though, Saint Boob was, at the very least, indirectly involved in Michael's death, as his incessant badgering and uncooperativeness made Michael so upset, and added constant turmoil to his life. Anyway, that's my opinion. Now, I want to go think about happier thoughts, so I'll say so long for now. I hope i don't lose everything when I try to fix this computer. Wish me luck!

But I remember for the longest time hearing Depeche Mode fans complaning about the lack of play that BTM got...everyone kept requesting that they play it, but they never did...despite playing M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice episodes over and over again. The only time they played the DM episodes was when they had a BTM marathon...I'm guessing that's what we're gonna have to do with the MH one as well. Hey all, I hate to say it, but, I'm afraid Mark is right on line on this one. I had suggested, lonnnnngggggg ago to the list, that we bombard VH1 with requests for the BTM on MH, be played. Many did write to them, and it actually got played 1 time after that. There were 3 scheduled times that never materialized.......some other BTM or SNL was shown. I actually wrote to VH1 under my 3 different email addys, plus my daughter's 2 email addys and my son's 2 email addys. Guess what...........we all got the same generic, monotonous response you are all getting now. I'm not saying don't keep trying, because I certainly want it to be seen, so by all means, keep trying. All I'm saying is don't be too surprised or disappointed if it doesn't get us anywhere........those people seem to have some kind of impenetrable one track minds. They only know to play the same BTM's over and over. I did on one occasion, however, get one reply about it possibly being shown when they have a BTM marathon. Hope they show it again, after all, it's rather foolish to spend all that time and cash on a show, then NOT show it, eh?

Except that Bob, or as I like to call him, Satan (grin), deserves whatever bad things that come to him... Not to be bitter or anything, but he put Michael and Paula (who I have mixed feelings about anyway) through hell. And the girls as well. Paula and Bob's daughters are around my age (Fifi is anyway, she's in her teens now I would think), and I can only imagine what they've had to go through. The divorce and Michael's death, that's not something they should have to deal with at this age. And Bob has not been helping the situation in my opinion. Let me just finish off my pointless rambling by saying, I can never forgive "Saint Bob" for what he did to Michael, the girls, and even Paula. I hope someone got something out of my rambling...

One other thing........I asked this before but didn't get any responses. I'm just curious. Does anyone know why, "On the Rooftop," (which is on Michael's CD along with "Straight Line" and "The Passenger"), wasn't included on Michael's self titled, full length release? It's a good song.........."I'm reading all about sin, that's the chapter I'm in. Do I have to wait, Oh, do I have to wait? I'm standing on the rooftop, waiting for the lightning............"

Most of INXS music is obviously based around Michael's lyrics and vocal melodies.....with the guitar rifs and Chord rhythms only the strange little vehicle that Michael drives in and that's basically Andrews design. There's not too many INXS songs that an average guitarist can play very well as stand alone guitar and vox only. On the other hand there are heaps you can play with a piano (two hand) and vox only and still have the core essentials of the song. INXS music relies on the cooperation of alot of instruments and octaves so to speak.......fair enough you can play the rifs to Devil Inside......Need You Tonight etc until your fingers are blue and all numb and you feel like you know something about what Tim or Kirk have been doing for 2 decades now LOL. INXS music is band music and it really belongs in that type of environment (3 people plus). I have often found it is easier to make up stuff of your own and play over the top of INXS cds (too scale obv)......And somebody pointed out how easy Guns in the Sky is........it's too easy that's why you have to innovate if you are just playing the song by yourself......Tim, Kirk and Andrew are always minimalists in most of the music........they play well within themselves, this helps getting it right in the live setting and really sets up the vocalist as the focal point most of the time as it should be........ I mean he's/she's the one with something to say right? It's almost the rule in any "pop"ular music. If you ever acquire the true skill you don't need somebody to tell you how it's played anyway.....you can figure it out for yourself by what you hear. Even Warner Bros can't stop that!.

Cya, Ben now if you look, it talks of bono. i never said, "bono will be at the olympics with u2." but if what dear ben says is true, 1/4 of u2 will be there with INXS. i never said he would sing for them either. i said it would be really neat if he did though. don't be so shocked if bono comes along with them (altough i have no idea if this is true i'm just basing it on what this post says) because he was a very close friend of michael. its no totally absurd. i'm sorry if i confused you at all but just look back at my first post about this and you'll see i never said u2 will be there. i said bono will be there and thats cool because i like u2. lets not argue about this silly lil thing anymore, shall we? whatever the outcome, i'm just happy INXS will be there. -erica From: "Stewart Christie" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2000 11:39 AM Subject: INXS: The final say on this Olympics thread From INXS.com INXS to play at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games It's been a closely guarded secret, but now the news is out and exclusive to INXS.com. INXS have been invited to perform at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games, which will be televised to around 4 billion people worldwide. Jon Stevens will be the guest vocalist. This is obviously a brilliant opportunity for the world to see the guys in action again and reaffirms that they are still at the top of the Australian music scene. The concert will happen on Monday, October 1st at Stadium Australia. Ironically, the guys played at the stadiums official opening with Terence Trent D'Arby in June of 1999. A range of top Australian acts are also performing at the closing ceremony, including Savage Garden and Men At Work. Sydney has been hit by Olympics fever, with thousands of athletes and spectators arriving in the city for the games, which begin next Friday. The guys are all very honoured and excited about playing a part in such a historic occasion. The official media release will be posted in the next few days.

Hey all, I am doing an assignment for uni for a subject called Short Story. (I'm studying Human Movements Science, and this is my second major of Literary Studies that will become my second teaching area when i HOPEFULLY become a HPE teacher). Anyway, we have these stories we have to read and then analyse them, this one story that I have to do an essay on is called A HUNGER ARTIST, and when I was reading it, I kept thinking of Michael Hutchence. Anyway, so I started writing my essay, and then I got this magazine from Ebay, FHM magazine, and interview from 1994, and it after reading it, the connections between MH and the hunger artist were so evident. So I've used INXS/MH in my assignment and I'll copy it into this e-mail (cos I'm not sure if you can attach things on this list), and hopefully you can give me some feedback. I'm in no way trying to dis the band or MH, just using the facts that I've got. Also, the assignment isn't TOTALLY finished, there's a few bridging paragraphs I have to do, and a bit more on the conclusion, but it's 95%done, so any critiscim is welcome. Here's the essay now: ********************************************************** It has been said that Franz Kafka's 'A Hunger Artist' is really an allegory about the way in which the modern world treats artists. This paper will discuss this quote and comment on the story and the aspects that are reflected in today's attitudes towards celebrities. It is evident from the opening passage that the narrator is constructing the idea that the way the hunger artist is treated can be paralleled to the way in which artists are treated in modern day society. "During these last decades the interest in professional fasting has markedly diminished." (Stone pg. 312) This can be related to certain aspects in the entertainment industry, for example the different genres of movies and television shows. For a time, films about aliens and science fiction were very popular, over time the interest faded, and made way for the 'next big thing,' which could possibly be seen as the teen romance films set in the High School, which generally used teen soap or drama actors such as Katie Holmes, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Joshua Jackson and Scott Wolf. You just have to look at the recent releases at the box office to see war or battle movies are the genre of the moment with such films as The Patriot, Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan. You'd think that television would be safe from all this chopping and changing of 'popular genres' but it's not. It's easily seen in the rapid growth of reality/voyeurism shows which have made a remarkable entrance to the small screen over the last six months. With shows such as Shipwrecked, Survivor, Popstars, The Twenty Dollar Challenge, Love Rules, Backyard Blitz, just to name a few, while the craze is drawing in the viewers, the list is endless. Soon this fad will fade and make way for something else to recapture the public's interest. This feeling of out with the old, in with the new is clearly evident in 'A Hunger Artist,' which is not only illustrated in the opening passage, but throughout the entire story. This diminishing interest in the artist in 'A Hunger Artist' can also be seen in the career of Australian band INXS. As Amruta Slee says: "The 1980's were good to them. A series of hits culminated in 1987 with the record 'Kick', three singles in the Billboard Top Ten and Worldwide recognition. They cracked America and once sold out Wembley Stadium." (Slee pg. 70) "However, these are the nineties, a time where supermodels have replaced musicians in the hierarchy of celebrity and INXS find themselves in a slump. Their latest album 'Full Moon, Dirty Hearts' has had little airplay in the US and they have just finished a tour, which, as Hutchence puts it, involved "playing every backwater in America." A new strategy is underway and involves playing smaller venues.either a genuine desire to return to INXS's pub roots or a consequence of leaner times." (Slee pg. 73) INXS, just like the hunger artist, were revered during the height of their career, although despite their international success and capacity to draw sell-out crowds, their star had faded. This can be seen to be caused by the up-bringing of a new generation that has newer and exciting forms of entertainment, and the 'old ones' just don't interest them like they did the previous generation. The narrator in Kafka's story makes a comment that: "We live in a different world now. At one time the whole town took a lively interest in the hunger artist; from day to day of his fast the excitement mounted; everybody wanted to see him at least once a day; there were people who bought season tickets for the last few days and sat from morning till night in front of his barred cage." (Stone pg. 312) The narrator then explains the gradual disinterest in the hunger artist. It could be argued that in a sense the narrator's first comment "we live in a different world now" is incorrect. From the previous examples of the changing popularity of movies and television shows, it is clear that society moves from one "craze" to the next and the only time we hear about the 'has-beens' is in 'Whatever Happened To..,' 'Where Are They Now,' and VH1 specials. On the other hand, the point the narrator could be intending to make about living in a different world, is describing the unpopularity of professional fasting. In this 'different world' the profession just isn't as interesting or appealing to the new generation, which can also be seen in the demise of many artists in today's society. It could be seen that the public's disinterest in the fasting profession is due to the perceived unimportance of such a feat. It's not as though the hunger artist, through his 'career' is changing the world, although he may think he is. This is illustrated in the following quotes the hunger artist makes: "Just try and understand the art of fasting! Anyone who has no feeling for it cannot be made to understand it." (Stone pg. 316) "I always wanted you to admire my fasting." (Stone pg. 316) It appears he believes no one could ever understand what he is doing, and the only reason he continues to do so, is because he wants admiration, he wants to feel he (in some way) is having an effect on people. Lead singer for INXS, Michael Hutchence could be perceived to know where the hunger artist is coming from in these following quotes he made in 1994: "I know people who have spent their entire careers thinking that they're changing the world but they cannot relate to the audience. The audience doesn't really truly understand them. And this is a sad moment when that realisation comes, when you look out at the audience and they're going, "Yeah! Great Man! All right!"" (Slee pg. 74) "I do feel as though I'm giving a lot. Changing people's lives, helping them get laid." Helping them get laid? "Oh sure," he says airily, "I know, I get letters." (Slee pg. 74) It can be seen in 'A Hunger Artist' that the audience doesn't truly appreciate the hunger artist's fasting, possibly because they don't understand why he is doing it, and partly because the artist himself can't relate to the audience. It is possible the hunger artist believes he is changing the world, just like anyone in their professions hopes that they are, however it is much easier to perceive you are doing so when you are constantly in the public eye. Clinton Walker says, "what happens to a rock star is sometimes they realise after a while that the world is nothing like the world they live in." (Writer pg. 37) Which is evident in the story. The hunger artist, after parting ways with the impresario, joins a circus and is put on display and can fast for as long as he desires. However, even this does not satisfy him, because the interest is just not there any more, people pass him on the way inside without a second glance and even the circus people themselves eventually loose interest and forget about him, which is illustrated in the following passages: "The fine placards grew dirty and illegible, they were torn down; the little notice board telling the number of fast days achieved, which at first was changed carefully every day, had long stayed at the same figure, for after the first few weeks even this small task seemed pointless to the staff." (Stone pg. 316) "An overseer's eye fell upon the cage one day and he asked the attendants why this perfectly good cage should be left standing there unused with dirty straw inside it; nobody knew, until one man, helped out by the notice board, remembered the hunger artist. They poked into the straw with sticks and found him in it." (Stone pg. 316) ! It is not only the gradual 'fall' of the star, that is what makes this story an allegory of the way the modern world treats artists, there are several other aspects that have symbolic meaning. The cage in which the hunger artist 'lives in' during his period of fasting is symbolic of the 'bubble' in which celebrities live in. Being on constant display 24 hours a day, seven days a week, could be seen as a disadvantage of becoming a celebrity, however it is ironic, that is exactly what the hunger artist yearns for. The hunger artist has no where to go, no way of escaping the cage, and the constant glare from people, always staring and scrutinising him. This is how celebrities must feel, with their personal lives being splashed all over the tabloid magazines, and broadcast to millions of viewers on shows such as Entertainment Tonight. It's no wonder, so many celebrities have described their lives as living in a bubble (quotes) which is exactly how the hunger artist lives. Michael Hutchence describes public life as "Somewhere between farce and boredom." (Slee pg. 70) To ensure that the hunger artist does actually fulfil his fasting feat and doesn't swallow even the smallest of food, permanent watchers are selected from the public with the task of keeping an eye on him day and night. These watchers could be symbolic of the bodyguards that some celebrities hire to protect them from the media and crazed fans. The narrator comments on the irony of how the watchers are mostly butchers, and this could be reflected in the type of people who are celebrity bodyguards, who are big, muscular and often portrayed as 'meat-heads.' There are also the watchers who shine flashlights on the hunger artist continuously throughout the night which is symbolic of the media's constant attention to celebrities and the flash of the camera. At the end of his career with the impresario, the hunger artist is already starting to become a has-been. This is seen in the impresario's last ditch effort to gain interest for the fasting act. "For the last time the impresario hurried him over half Europe to discover whether the old interest might still survive here and there; all in vain; everywhere, as if by secret agreement, a positive revulsion from professional fasting was evidence." (Stone pg. 315) This is reflective of the comment Amruta Slee made about the tour (Get Out of the House tour) which preceded the release of the full Moon, Dirty Hearts, being played at smaller venues. Ed St John says "This idea (of the tour) presented some problems: given the downturn in the economy, and the lacklustre performance of the last album, it seemed likely that INXS would face the prospect of playing much smaller crowds than they had played to on the X tour." "Rather than play smaller or fewer arenas, and attract comment about their shrinking audience, they would play much smaller venues. In brief, they would play the sort of large clubs and small theatres they used to play in the early eighties." (St John pg. 180) Despite their attempts to re-claim their pub roots, INXS didn't seem to draw the attention of the public that they were once capable of filling huge stadiums. As Ed St John comments, "The tour was dogged by the perception - particularly in the US - that INXS were only playing small venues because they couldn't fill large rooms. The entire world tour lasted three months, with just 11 dates allocated in the US . In all, just 16,000 US fans saw the band play - fewer than they were accustomed to playing to in a single night. The band that had once played arena shows in the US for months on end suddenly seemed to be yesterday's heroes and, much as most of the shoes were sold-out riots of energy and sweat, the perception proved more powerful than reality." (St John pg. 181) As you can see, it is evident that Kafka's 'A Hunger Artist' is really an allegory about the way in which the modern world treats artists. From this one example of illustrating the highs and lows of Australian band, it is easy to identify parallels through the careers of both the hunger artist and INXS. It may be ironic to see that the careers of both ended with death, both the hunger artist and lead singer of INXS, Michael Hutchence. Both put everything they had into their careers, and in the end, it could be seen as what ultimately led to their deaths. 1. Stone, W., Packer, N.H., Hoopes, R.

If anyone had the chance to see him before he met with the U.N officials, he would not comment on the new U2 album, as he stated he was not th ere to promote or try to sell the new wares,but to deliver a message of forgiveness (of debt) to Third World Countries mainly "Africa".I think it is great to have had a friend such as Michael,but Bono is wise enough to know this is not his place to try and lead a group of extremely talented and energetic people such as the remaining members of INXS when he knows they are capable of delivering their own message.Let us hope that they are successful!!! God Bless Peace Forever Joe P.S. From what I have read we (EDT) USA, will only receive about 6 hrs. of live coverage due to the time differential,I pray at least 15 min will be of the best R&R band in the world!!!

"Put The Pieces Back Together" was a song which was a backlash regarding "Satan Bob," intended to jab him for his behavior & treatment of Michael & Paula. The song, "She Flirts For England," came about after Michael's good friend, Bono made the remark about Paula, that she could flirt for the entire coutry of England, (not an exact quote, but close). There are many songs on the M.H. self titled release which elude to the stress and the toll it was taking, which reveal a darker affect and possibly fleeting annihilative thoughts. But, there are also, some bright songs, with more of an upbeat approach, such as "Possibilities." Anyway, if you really get to know the songs, lyrics, tunes...........if you are a M.H. fan, most likely you'll like/love the album. It shows a lot of versatility.

I don't know the details, but I can find out. Take care Julia xxxx From: To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 9:25 AM Subject: INXS: Paula Yates dies Here is the information I found about Paula's death. Trish ************************************************************* TV PERSONALITY Paula Yates was found dead at her home today. Her solicitor Anthony Burton said the 40-year-old was discovered at her west London home. The body of the mother-of-four was found in the bedroom of the house in St Luke's Mews, Notting Hill, by an ambulance crew, who alerted police. Paula, who rose to fame as a presenter on the 1980s music show The Tube, had three children with former husband Bob Geldof - Fifi Trixibelle, 17, Peaches, 10, and Pixie, seven. Geldof said in a statement: "We are all so sad. The loss for all the children is insupportable." Paula had her fourth child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, four, with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, who killed himself in November 1997 in a Sydney hotel bedroom. Since the tragedy Paula has been plagued by depression and has been treated in private clinics on several occasions. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The body was found in a bedroom and the cause of death will not be known until the post mortem." He said this had yet to be arranged and until the cause of death was established, the police were treating the death as suspicious. A forensic medical examiner at the scene confirmed Paula was dead at 11.30am. Geldof spoke of the family's "pain" at Paula's death. The statement added: "It doesn't require much imagination to understand the pain. Please do nothing to add to that. "Leave them (the children) with their loss and Paula with her dignity. Thanks, we appreciate it. Bob." Since Hutchence's death in 1997, she was linked to numerous men including singer Finley Quaye and aristocrat Samuel Robinson-Horley, 20. In 1998 there were reports that she tried to hang herself in a suicide bid to copy Hutchence. She was saved by a friend who found her barely conscious in the bedroom of her west London home with a noose round her neck. Paula's mother, Heller Thornton-Bosment, said she was "devastated" after learning of her daughter's death. "This has come as a terrible shock to everyone," said Mrs Thornton-Bosment, who lives in the south of France. "I am waiting for calls from London to find out exactly what has happened." Police today cordoned off the exclusive street where Paula's body was found. Officers could be seen around the vine-covered house in St Luke's Mews, in fashionable Notting Hill. There was no sign of Paula's daughters. One Notting Hill resident described her as a friendly woman who took an active part in the community. Fashion photographer Tony McLeish, 34, said: "We often used to see her walking her kids to school or to the playground, and she always looked pretty cheerful. "Quite often we'd see her down at the shops or at Portobello Market and she's often say hello. "She's not like some of the other stars you tend to get in this area who can be very snooty - she always seemed to be a part of the community and didn't have any attitude. "I remember seeing her with a cheeky little grin, almost like a smirk on her face, a really cheeky smile like she used to have on TV. "But I haven't seen her for three or four weeks so I couldn't tell you if it looks like she was feeling bad recently." Hutchence's father, Kell, expressed shock on hearing the news. He told IRN from his Sydney home: "Of course we are in deep shock, we did not expect this at all. It is terribly tragic. "We always supported and tried to get along with Paula. "I feel so very sad for my little granddaughter Tiger Lily." A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said a crew and a `fast responder' paramedic, used specifically to help resuscitate a patient who has no life signs, were called to Paula's home. The 999 call was received just before 10.10am and by 10.25am a request was made for the police to attend the scene.

The diseases stop spreading, The hungry can eat, When the lovers stop wedding, The song skips a beat.

The 41-year-old television presenter's body has now been removed from the Notting Hill home and taken to Westminster mortuary to try to establish the cause of her death. Forensic officers spent the morning at the property looking for clues as to the cause of the tragedy. Paula was found dead at her home after a female friend raised the alarm after calling at the star's St Luke's Mews home. Tributes have been paid to the TV personality from friends and colleagues, who remembered her lively, fun personality. A bouquet of pink and purple flowers has been left outside the house. A card attached reads: "With deepest sympathy. To my friend, Paula. God bless you. I will miss you very much. Love Tracy Ayre. XXXXXX." Ms Yates' close friend Belinda Brewin sobbed as she paid a visit to the scene. She was comforted by a friend and stayed for five minutes before driving away. Detective Inspector Mike Christensen said there were no signs of violence in the house. He said: "At 10.15 this morning, a lady friend of Ms Yates notified police that she appeared to have died... There is no sign of violence or anything like that." Her ex-husband Bob Geldof said: "We are all so sad. The loss for all the children is insupportable." Meanwhile Paula's mother, Heller Thornton-Bosment, said she was "devastated" after learning of her daughter's death: "This has come as a terrible shock to everyone. I am waiting for calls from London to find out exactly what has happened." Tim Gardam, the director of programmes at Channel 4, where Paula began her broadcasting career, said everyone at the channel was deeply shocked. "Paula Yates was a central figure of two of Channel 4's most emblematic and successful series - The Tube and The Big Breakfast. She will be remembered for her charismatic personality at the heart of these programmes. Everyone at the channel is deeply shocked at the news of her untimely death," he said. Solicitor Mark Stephens, who handled Paula's divorce from Bob Geldof, said his thoughts were with her family: "She was a vibrant personality, she lived life to the full. She epitomised the rock and roll life style, that's why the public loved her. " He added: "Her children were the real passion of her life. She would quite often be at home with them rather than going to the opening of an envelope, as some people did... The blow of Michael's death hit her for six, it took all her energy to come back from that. She's now with the man that she loved, hopefully she'll be at peace." Meanwhile, Notting Hill newsagent Sharn Bhalla said Ms Yates was in her shop yesterday with her daughter Tiger Lily. "My husband, Manmohan, was serving her and because Tiger Lily was so adorable, he gave her a little toy," she said. "He said Paula looked fine, she didn't look unhappy or anything. Paula would come here almost every day with her daughter and whatever Tiger Lily wanted, whether it was sweets or a comic or anything, Paula would buy it for her. She really loved that little girl.

It's sad when a young person loses their life, and probably needlessly, as I would suspect that it was probably an overdose, and probably suicide, but possibly accidental........never know which. That is only what I would surmise from the situation at this time. I could be way off base. I'm really not surprised, as I think Paula has truly been a mess, but putting up a good front since Michael's death. I believe that she's truly wanted to be with him since he died, and now has gotten it accomplished, IMHO. I am so worried about Tiger. I feel badly for all the girls, but at least the other 3 have their dad, being that he is. Tiger has her sisters, but to be with them, my God, she'd have to be with Satan Bob, who tried to get custody of her so long ago!!!!!!!!!! Oh, can you just imagine! Is this man going to win the whole situation, after all. How disturbing!!!!!!!!

You know, I guess it doesn't matter now what anyone felt either for Paula or against her. Because it seems that she was also a damaged soul, much like Michael, and I personally think that because their love was so terribly interrupted, it was never over in her mind, and she could not let go of it. And no matter what eventually comes out about her death, I have to say that most of life is not "black and white", "good and bad" ~ most of life is just many shades of gray. So I will not judge her, I will just feel very sad for her children.

When you are scared and uncertain, lil dear Tiger, they will be the comfort you feel from deep within your soul. When you seem lonely, they will have the birds sing their whispered words of wisdom and joy to you. Lift your head high percious Tiger, all the hearts mummy and daddy touched carry the responsiblity to weep for you at this time. Your pain is not unjustifed or alone. But you, do not cry for them precious one. They would not want that. You are the sacred gift of life they share and will forver love. No one can imagine the pain of such a overwhelming sadness that someone - a child, will feel with the loss of both parents. How will never matter to your mind and soul, just the fact they are gone. No one will ever replace mummy or daddy. They will greatly try to fill your parent's love in your heart and shower you with the love they have you and your parents.

Ms Brewin is also Tiger Lily's godmother and in the past has been described as her guardian in the press and as a 'tutor' in legal documents. Ms Brewin has taken care of the little girl often, in particular when Yates was being treated in a private clinic for depression and drug abuse. In 1998 Ms Brewin took the little girl to Australia and Portugal on a three-month holiday while the presenter tried to put her life in order. In the longer term Yates's youngest daughter's future is just as unclear and could be worryingly tainted by her financial inheritance. When she is 25 she will gain access to a trust that was set up with her £2 million share of her rock singer father's estate. Before his death Michael Hutchence had named Colin Diamond, his former financial adviser, as the child's legal guardian.

It was about a minute or so long, and had video footage of Paula, Michael, Tiger, and the other girls along with the text. Considering that, for all intents and purposes, Paula was a total unknown in the US, I was pretty amazed they devoted this much airtime to her death.

Well put thoughts! I'm sure there will be much well thought out debate on what is the most suitable environment for Tiger whether that is to remain with her sisters & Bob or to go with someone in Michael's family. Whatever the choice I'm sure most of us can agree she will be in a much more stable environment now. My heart goes out to all these girls with hopes that they can all resume some sort of a normal life in the near future.
