    Apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    She was a really emerging country music star in the late 1990s. Good singer. Really stunning looks.

    But after her breakup with fiancee Dean Cain, word is she went down the tubes.

    Massive promiscuity. It was said she had sex with a substantial portion of the Tennessee Titans football team at one point. Drug use. Identity theft. Kidnapping schemes. Rumored to have killed her boyfriend (or was it her husband) a month ago.

    The poor girl was troubled for years. I'd like to know how in the hell she wasnt committed to an inpatient facility and got around the judges order. A friend of a friend is the father to one of the children she had. I can only imagine the hell that he and the children are going through right now.

    I heard she was forced into a gay marriage by Barack Obama so she killed herself by eating too much wedding cake.

    Interesting sort of Gillian Anderson lookalike thing she had happening. Oh, well.

    And on further review of photographs, not so much. Guess it's just in that video that she's got that happening. Must have been some serious post-production going on there. CGI, or some shit.

    In trying to figure out who this was, I noted she was banging Roger Clemens. I can see how she might want to kill herself after that.

    Ironically, her tragic death (and troubled last few months) will inspire at least 1,000 more country songs!

    I feel sorry for her kids more than anything. Hope there is someone responsible who can watch out for them.

    I haven't seen that, but I think it's quite hilarious how many failed celebs on the downward curve of their 15 minutes decide a sex tape is just the thing to revive their career. Public humiliation gets them a few more minutes of fame I guess.

    No. As established: She wasn't a Canadian person, and 2) Alanis Morrisette had a bunch of hits. Mostly off the same album, but she had a lot of hits. Duh.

    Oh, so is she the one with the song about trashing someone's truck because he got a different girl? I enjoyed that song a little bit. Before I hated it.

    Nope. that was long after she'd faded.

    I'd actually been mixing her up with someone elsetoo - I was thinking "Strawberry Wine" was her ( a decent little song) but that was Deana Carter.

    Looking at the Wiki, I'm pretty surprised how completely forgettable her "career" actually was.
