Brooke Shields offended by celebrity death jokes

New York City’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade theater hosted a 72-hour improv comedy marathon over the weekend, so it’s not surprising that the jokes eventually turned to Heath Ledger, Estelle Getty and Bernie Mac’s recent deaths. But guest panelist Brooke Shields was evidently caught off guard
"She was so freaked out, her eyes welled up, and she actually bit her nails at one point. When someone pretended to dump Estelle Getty’s ashes on [30 Rock star] Jack McBrayer’s head, Brooke got up and walked offstage. She watched the rest of the show from behind a curtain backstage, with a grimace"
We’re assuming Brooke had never before attended a UCBT performance — and it’s doubtful she’ll ever return.

	When someone pretended to dump Estelle Getty’s ashes on [30 Rock star] Jack McBrayer’s head, Brooke got up and walked offstage. I'm no prude or anything, but that's pretty awful, in my opinion. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	I guess it's been long enough were Heathus jokes are semi-okay. As long as they aren't too bad. And not about drugs & what not. But it's too soon for Estelle and WAAAYYYY too soon for Bernie Mac. I would be pretty pissed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Eh, comedy is subjective. They should've done a segment where a girl turns off ONTD...dramatically closes her textbook which she had been studying for an exam, and proceeds to go cry in the rain. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)
