People in the entertainment industry seem genuinely SHOCKED that AMY WINEHOUSE died on Saturday.  I don’t really get that.

–But I do understand their sadness over the loss . . . because when she was on, she was truly one of the greatest and most unique talents on the pop landscape.  Whatever the case, here’s what they’re saying:

–Amy’s close friend Kelly Osbourne:  “I can’t even breathe right now I’m crying so hard.  I just lost one of my best friends.  I love you forever Amy and will never forget the real you!”

–Rihanna:  “Dear God have mercy!!!  I am SICK about this right now! . . . I am genuinely heartbroken by this . . . ICONSneverDIE”

–Katy Perry:  “RIP Amy Winehouse.  May she finally find peace.”

–Leann Rimes:  “RIP Amy Winehouse.  So sad to see such a talent gone and her life end in tragedy. This makes me terribly sad.”

–Josh Groban:  “Drugs took her gift, her soul, her light, long before they took her life.  RIP Amy”

–Ricky Martin:  “I just found out.  I feel pain.  I feel anger.  Rest beautiful girl rest.  You are free!”

–Russell Brand . . . who knew Amy before either of them were famous . . . wrote a touching tribute to Amy on his website.  You can read it here.

–Tony Bennett also went old-school and released an actual STATEMENT, rather than a quick Tweet.  You can read it here.

–Samantha Ronson:  “I’m not sure how anyone with a soul can make jokes about the passing of one of the most talented artists this generation will see.”

–Mark Ronson:  “She was my musical soulmate & like a sister to me.  This is one of the saddest days of my life.”  (–Mark is Samantha’s sister, and one of the producers of Amy’s “Back to Black” album.)

–Kim Kardashian:  “I just heard the news that Amy Winehouse passed away.  What a true talent.  I pray she’s in a better place & at peace.”

–Khloe Kardashian:  “Wow!  I just heard about Amy Winehouse passing away!  Wow!  So sad.  :(  What an amazing talent.”

–Demi Lovato:  “Amy Winehouse.  So sad.  Unfortunately the world lost an incredibly talented woman to such a powerful disease… addiction.  #RIP”

–Carson Daly:  “RIP Amy Winehouse.  How tragic.”

–Lance Bass:  “Another talent dies at 27- RIP – Amy Winehouse.”

–“Shaun of the Dead” star Simon Pegg:  “Thoughts and love to those affected by the atrocity in Norway and terribly sad to hear about Amy Winehouse.  Sweet and funny girl.  Sad day.”

(–Pegg was one of a few celebs who made sure to mention the tragic bombing and shooting attack in Norway this weekend, which killed at least 93 people, and was carried out by a single psycho.  Others included Missy Elliott and Christina Applegate.  Perspective, people.)

–Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee:  “Amy Winehouse died.  That’s a lifestyle choice.  The 87 who were murdered in Oslo Norway.  That’s [effing] tragic.”

–Rob Thomas:  ”R.I.P. AMY WINEHOUSE.  Wow.  Just wow.”

–Danny DeVito:  “27 year old Amy Winehouse dead.  WTF man I dug her a lot.  Very sad about this one!  27 Janice, 27 Jimmy, 27 Amy.”

–Joel Madden:  “R.I.P. Amy.  Your Voice will live Forever.”

–Nicki Minaj:  “Please tell me Amy Winehouse didn’t die.  Is this some sick joke?”

–Usher:  “I’m so sad to hear the horrible news of Amy Winehouse’s death.  I’m so happy I knew you Amy.  Rest well.  Gone too soon.  We’ll miss you!”

–Demi Moore:  “Truly sad news about Amy Winehouse.  My heart goes out to her family.  May her troubled soul find peace.”

–Billy Corgan:  “Sad to hear about Amy Winehouse.  I mourn any time one of our own passes on.  A tragedy, no doubt.  Truly sad.”

–Natasha Bedingfield:  “I’m so sad to hear about Amy Winehouse just dying.  My heart and prayers go out to her family.  Such a terrible loss for us all.”

–Anderson Cooper:  “Just heard a report Amy Winehouse has died.  If true, such a waste of a great talent.”

–Big Boi from OutKast:  “Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and now Amy Winehouse.  All died aged 27.  RIP to you all.”

–Lea Michele:  “Devastated to hear about Amy Winehouse…she was truly one of a kind.”

–Paris Hilton:  “So sad to hear about Amy Winehouse.  What a talent, way too young to die.  Addiction is such a deadly disease.  She’s now in a better place.”

–Kelly Clarkson:  “What a waste of a gifted person.  What a shame she saw no hope and continued living her life in that manor.  I have been that low emotionally and mentally and that is overwhelming.”  (–Yes, Kelly meant to say “manner”, not “manor”.  Apparently, there is no written test to get on “Idol”.)

–Ted Nugent:  ”B sure to tell ur children that Amy Winehouse suicide is insane stupid.”  (–Yep . . . about as coherent, thoughtful, sensitive and informed as usual.)

–M.I.A. posted a song called “27″ as a tribute to Amy.  It’s actually something she was working on BEFORE Amy’s death, so it wasn’t actually written for her.  (–Check it out here.)

–And finally, Courtney Love told “Rolling Stone”, quote, “I’m [effing] gutted.  I tried with her, I tried twice.  We are sensitive, and people around us take advantage of that.  It is [effing] pain every day and every night.  It’s so awful.”
