17. "... who, like Mrs. Yamin, will never be heard from again."

Could you have said anything less classy than that? I don't think so. Nice way to respect the dead. You should be ashamed.

21. "Yamin finished in 3rd place in 2006 on "Idol," behind Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks -- who, like Mrs. Yamin, will never be heard from again."

Really? That was pretty mean. The man's mother just died and you find it neccessary to insult him? Not funny. Just plain disrespectful.

22. It's nice that TMZ reported on the passing of Elliott's mom, however the joke at the end was out of line. It is never in good taste to make a joke and mention someones passing at the same time.

23. "who, like Mrs. Yamin, will never be heard from again."

What a horrible and unprofessional thing to say..dont you corporate as*holes have a heart??
Sorry for this poor man's loss, losing a parent is always a terrible tragedy.

24. That is so disrespectful. There is a difference between reporting entertainment news and being totally out of line and having no respect for human life. It would do you good to remove the last comment you put about not being heard from again. It's sick.

27. TMZ's Comment: Yamin finished in 3rd place in 2006 on "Idol," behind Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks -- who, like Mrs. Yamin, will never be heard from again.

That is very rude comment TMZ at the time when a AI contestant lost their mom. How would you feel if the same were said back to you.
