+7It's a toss up between Jim and Robin Williams. It seems the sadder the man, the more he makes you laugh.
Tiger Woods is too damn arrogant to think about anyone but himself. He wouldn't even go see his brother, who was in the end stages of M.S. The more I hear about that jerk the less I like him.
Interesting to see Jim Carrey on the list. I don't know anything about his personal life, but I say him play Andy Kaufman in a biopic and Kaufman sure seemed like a bipolar type while he was alive.
"Zeta-Jones shocked the world last year when she admitted that she has bipolar II disorder. Zeta-Jones' statement read: "This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them." "
^ And that was it. Nothing about something that had happened, etc.
Sure, it is sometimes tough to struggle with it and it has its moments... but to be listed as one of the saddest celebrities/people? Really?
