Because they are in the public eye and people feel as though they *know* them.
Fuck me - stop being such a douche bag. It's not about a lack of compassion or empathy, by not recognising each and every person who died on a certain day.
People have seen and enjoyed the work(s) of people like Brittany, then to hear of her death at such a young age is quite saddening.
Is it sad that all these children die everyday - yes - however the difference is they are nameless and faceless to the world at large. Put a name, face and personality to them and guess what......
Then add into the equation that due to their celeb *status* the Brittany types in the world are seen as a success and people desire to follow in their footsteps. Success - money - adored by many - beautiful - blah blah blah...
