R.I.P.

Maybe this is what drove him to drink?

Jonathan Rhys Myers was arrested at the airport in Dublin on Sunday and charged with being drunk and a breach of the peace.

Now, Perezcious readers in Ireland tell us that local media is reporting that the actor's mother has passed away.

The Cork City native had been in ill health for a while and allegedly succumbed to a stroke Monday night.

Bummer.

      Why is the death of Kanye West's mother tragic and sad but the death of JRM's mother is briskly and curtly referred to simply as "a bummer."
      If anything, the death of Kanye's mother is a good thing. Maybe it will bring him back down to earth and will stop walking around like he owns the planet.

      I wish you could have reported this in a more compassionate way.
      May his mother rest in peace. My prayers are with the family.

      you are a ass perez , sorry I me you are a fat ugly gross no talent ass. The guy's mother died and it still seems as though you go out of your way to make fun of him. You had to pick a weird picture and do your stupid dots coming out of his mouth While with the big mouth and over rated Kanye West you did the opposite and were way to nice, not even questioning him doing a concert days before and days after his mother's death or her burial.

      Re: Mark P – The problem is… the whole death has been about Kanye, what about his siblings, her brothers or sister… it's all been about Kanye how he feels, his breakdown, etc… damn shame how the media protray somethings… It's not a good thing she died, especially not to bring him down to earth, fuck him and his crappy music! A woman has died here and that itself is a tragedy.

      Re: Mark P – I agree to the first part. "Why is the death of Kanye West’s mother tragic and sad but the death of JRM’s mother is briskly and curtly referred to simply as “a bummer.” I also don't understand the hysteria.

      A little bit of respect wouldn't go amiss Perez. "Bummer" is not an appropriate comment when someone has lost their mother, and I saw no such comments on your coverage of Kanye's mother's death. This is one reader who won't be coming back to this site. Shame on you.

      I haven't heard anything of his mother passing away.
      And I live in Ireland…
      Then again, I could be wrong.

      And seriously dude, the title?
      Have some respect.

      127

      If you live in Ireland & haven't heard anything about it, pick up any newspaper - it's on the front page of at least 4 this morning, turn on the radio or tv and listen to the news or read it on the web.

      As for comments by #99 - smeej just becuase you watched Angela's Ashes or Far and Away does not mean you've been to Ireland. Your descriptions of Ireland are ridiculous. Alcohol is NOT sold in pharmacies here, nor was it sold in the 1980's either.

    28. Lora says – reply to this


      128

      I agree that you should change the headline and highlight the fact that it was his mother, and not him, who died. Perez, you're starting to get too detached from life. Callous remarks are not endearing when it involves the death of someone's loved one(s). Show some respect to Jonathan and his family and either remove this or change it so that it's at least sympathetic. "Bummer" is not something I want to hear someone say to me when my mom dies.

      bummer? it's more than a bummer when your mum dies you stupid fatass!!! Why don't you say that to Kanye? It's a bummer that his mom is so vain that she had to have a tummy tuck at 60 and a boob job… she killed herself.. BUMMER!!!!

      And Perez, change the headline already.

      first things first .. he's a young guy who goes on the piss .. so f what? So you are teetotal I suppose? Maybe its just the Irish … most Americans think we go around in horse and carts and say 'top o the morning' anyway so they no doubt think we're alcho's aswell … as for that report Perez you should be ashamed of yourself, thats low even for you, thats me finished with your website for good … the only way to get to this creep is stop reading this shite then the advertisers will stop paying him … Perez will be a slug or something in his next life!

      Perez?? Fuck off and have some respect.

      Fucks sake, when Kanye West's mother died you were more considerate - maybe because he's a yank like you???

      R.e Smeej : So you would say Cork is quite like Bengal would you? Well i'm irish, I've been to Cork, but i still couldn't say i could comment on that having NEVER BEEN TO BENGAL IN THE SAME WAY YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO IRELAND YOU F*****G UNEDUCATED, DELUDED, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS, DOUCHEBAG. Christ. It's no wonder Americans are such a laughing stock over here. My friend once met one when she was travelling through the USA who laughed when she said she came from Ireland cos he said it was a made-up place. Seriously. He thought it was a fictitious, fantasy place where the grass was seven shades of green and leprechauns manufactured Guinness.

      this is ridiculous,
      a person's mother dies and you write "bummer"?
      I know your whole shtick is trying to piss people off because you don't care or whatever. But the truth is that this blog is getting old and you are on your last few minutes of fame so since you don't have any REAL skills let's see if you are around another year. Let's see who draws on your pictures when you die of a heart attack, truth is it won't even be IN the News. I'm done with this site.
      GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    50. zubiz says – reply to this


      150

      I agree with the previous poster who suggested that your 15 mins of fame will be up within the year. Your posts are boring, predictable, poorly written, and they often lag behind the posts on other similarly themed websites. Shock value and childish drawings will only get you so far with so many folks before they turn away from your site. I for one can finally say that I am removing your website from my favourites as I can no longer support a site/person who is so crass/mean AND doesn't even do a good job at what he's become known for. Good luck with the sinking ship.

      Perez, you should not have published this story at all. Give the guy a break and don't perpetuate the media coverage that this story has been getting.

      Let the poor guy grieve and show some respect for him and his family, his Mother was a wonderful woman who did amazing work for local charities in Cork.

      What is WRONG with you??!! How come Kayne and Diana Ross get condolences and this guy doesn't? I've got no idea who he is, by the way, but i think it's inhuman to be that flippant about something like that. Next time your stupid dog dies and you are in agony and grief remind me to say 'easy come, easy go!' or something equally banal and unhelpful.
