The early death of singer Amy Winehouse caught many off guard. And apparently you can count someone in the graphics department of NBC’s The Today Show among those people. Or possibly the producer was so teary-eyed from the news that they completely missed a tragic typo in the chyron that aired as part of a video package remembering the pop star?

On HLN’s Dr. Drew Monday, Drew Pinsky took issue with officers from the London Metropolitan Police, who have urged the public–and the media–to avoid speculating on what may have caused the premature death of Amy Winehouse. In a news conference Monday, an officer from the Met said no autopsy results have been reached, and therefore it would “be inappropriate to speculate.” Pinsky says no, it’s not inappropriate. “27 year olds don’t just die,” Pinsky argued. “She had a fatal disease…and if she ends up having pneumonia, heart disease, her heart stopped or infection…this is all secondary to addiction, that’s the primary disease.”

As we all know, there are many stages of grief a person goes through when someone dies. There’s Anger, Denial, Acceptance, and, of course, eventually An Attempt to Profit Financially. Which is why it’s surprising that so many people are angry over an official Microsoft public relations Twitter account asking followers to “remember” the late singer Amy Winehouse by purchasing one of her albums from them. Maybe they just got to that stage a little early?

Sky News is reporting that British singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her apartment in London. While long known to have struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse, authorities do not yet know what killed her. She was 27 years old.

Today is the launch of Gossip Cop. The premise is simple: investigate the accuracy of the daily anecdotes, the rampant rumors, and the cubicle grist known as celebrity gossip. Think of it as TMZ meets Smoking Gun. Or maybe Perez Hilton meets Columbia Journalism Review.
