Aww… poor Ray J…

As we all know, he and Whitney Houston were very close. Very close.

So the news of her death definitely affected him in ways we can't even begin to imagine.

Usually playing it cool in front of the press, Ray J hasn't been able to keep it in ever since her funeral. He was seen devastated then and he's still acting super depressed in public.

When he was spotted at a Brotherhood Crusade and Mothers in Actions event, he

Remember when Brandy and Whitney Houston starred in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella back in 1997??

It was the number one program of the week with more than 60 millions viewers!

And that was also a monumental time for Brandy. She and Whitney really bonded on set and their friendship continued to grow ever since.

But as everyone knows, Whitney passed away last week. As everyone may NOT know or remember… she died on Brandy's birthday.

Needless to say, it wasn't the happiest 33rd birthday…

Nick Carter's had a rough go these past few weeks and he wants to heal.

After being left out of his sister's funeral, Nick will be having a sabbatical to grieve over Leslie Carter's death.

Nick has two more tour dates, one in Chicago, the other in Columbus, which he will dedicate to his sis. Sources say he is still dealing with the fact that he missed the funeral.

Sad. We hope these next few weeks are good to him.

And it's very clear that despite the sex scandal that rocked Penn State University last year, Joe Paterno will be remembered very fondly by those who knew him.

Since his death, shoppers have flocked to the stores on campus to purchase all the JoePa memorabilia they can get their hands on, while another 3,000 fans, alumni and students braved the cold for a candle-light vigil.

It's not just PSU that is mourning the loss of the most winningest coach in Division I college football history either — the entire country is!

Hundreds of figures in the sports world and beyond have made statements regarding the sudden death of a legend. It's pretty incredible how far this college football coach's reach was. Check out who said what below!

We can't believe it's almost been four years since the tragic death of Heath Ledger.

When he died, it was like the world stopped a little bit.

Not only did he leave behind close friends and family, he also left behind Michelle Williams, his ex-fiance, and their daughter, Matilda Rose.

After his death, Michelle didn't address it with the public. She couldn't. It was too hard.

But now, she's finally opening up, really opening up, on the grieving period and how she manages to cope til this day.

The talented actress tells the October issue of Vogue:

While friends and family gathered to bury Corey Haim in Toronto today, longtime friend and frequent co-star Corey Feldman was noticeably absent from the service.

He chose to instead publish this letter to his deceased friend:

Dear Corey.,

This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day. Hopefully we will not see one shot of the funeral on the news. Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.

I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realise that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined. Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222 . Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did.

My mission in life became saving yours. I never gave up, I tried …I walked away, but I always came back, to let you know I was there. In a dark and lonely world with spiteful angry people we always understood each others pain. I have been so hounded by the media and barraged with condolences since your death that I have not been given my own time to grief. I was still in shock while cameras were chasing me down the street looking for my feelings on the matter. When I did Larry King I could barely form sentences, but knew I had to be strong to send a message.

I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world. I learned something Corey, there are a lot of people out there who really love you, and appreciate the joy you have brough tho their hearts. I only wish you could see the way the world is mourning over your absence. I wish you could see how big the story is. I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly! That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor which is what you truly were. The great Canadian actor Corey Haim! I love you and I will forever keep that ring close to my heart. I will do my very best to help give you a memorial that is a celebration of your life the way you would have wanted it…..with everybody laughing and rocking out!

My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.

I pray that you are safe and warm and finally filled with peace.

I love you

CF Core Feldog DAWG C-DOG KID and every other name you used to call me…..dine!

So sad.

We sincerely hope Feldman has the proper time and privacy to deal with his grief.

R.I.P. Corey.
