wtf: “Publicist shot to death after walking ‘Burlesque’ red carpet”

CNN reports:

Los Angeles, California (CNN) — Longtime Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen was gunned down on Sunset Boulevard early Tuesday, just minutes after she left a star-studded party to celebrate the premiere of the movie “Burlesque,” police said.

Chasen, 64, died when “multiple shots” were fired into her Mercedes seconds after she drove past the posh Beverly Hills Hotel on her way home, according to Beverly Hill Police Sgt. Lincoln Hoshino.

Detectives searched Chasen’s West Los Angeles home and her public relations firm for clues Tuesday, but Hoshino called it “a wide open investigation.” They have no suspects or motive for the attack, he said.

Warren, who was Chasen’s celebrity client, called the killing senseless.

“They didn’t steal anything,” she said. “Her purse was still there.”

I would make a joke… except I can’t. Seriously: what the fuck?

It’s different in the same way that if you and Brad Pit were shot and killed in the same week, ain’t nobody gonna hear about you, but Brad’s death would be a hot topic.
She was well-known (and liked) in the Hollywood crowd.
