"Comedy and tragedy are inseparable"
I can't remember who said that (some play writer I think), but they're right. When famous people die, jokes are almost certain to be made about it. When Diana (Princess of Wales) died, jokes came out the next day, the same with 9/11. Humour is a major way in which people deal with pain and suffering.
Chris making jokes about something could be seen as a way to deal with his pain at the death of this person, although I doubt that's the case. I'd never even heard of him before and as such couldn't care less. Don't get me wrong, if someone I'd actually heard of had died then I might be a bit more emotional about it (although I doubt it), and if it had been a member of my family, or a friend then I would probably be upset, but I wouldn't expect everyone else to be.
I think some of you people take Chris' comments way too seriously, he's joking around, I doubt he means to upset the family of this dead 'star', but that's who Chris is, and I don't know about the rest of you, but it's why I listen.
