64-year-old Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen died last night after reportedly being shot five times in the chest and crashing her car into a pole in Beverly Hills, after attending the Burlesque premiere earlier that evening. Yeah… so I guess I’ll save the jokes on this one.
“On November 16th 2010 at approximately 12:28 a.m. Beverly Hills police officers received info regarding shots that were heard in the area of Sunset and Whittier, shortly after a collision was reported in the same area. Units arrived and discovered a newer black Mercedes Benz E-350 involved in a solo crash to the light pole. The lone female occupant was located in the vehicle with apparent multiple gunshot wounds to her chest. Beverly Hills paramedics transported the victim to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The investigation is in the preliminary stages and no further information is available at this time. At this time there is no suspect, info or motive for this crime.”
Chasen began her career as a publicist in 1973, and worked on films such as 1989′s Driving Miss Daisy and 1997′s Lolita.
In February 1993, she was named senior vice president of worldwide publicity at MGM. [THR]
Pardon me for stating the obvious, but that’s terrible. You see, this is why I only work from home. First they make you put on pants, and before you know it, all kinds of awful things are happening. You can’t trust those animals out there.

I heard Dan Rosen was her passenger.
RIP sugartits
This is very sad but not surprising, considering how much shit she talked about 2Pac when her last album dropped.
“…involved in a solo crash to the light pole.”
Bitchez jus’ caint drive, y’all.
Why couldn’t it have been Roni Deutch? }}:>(
So, ummmmm is any publicity good publicity?
I’ve take multiple shots to the chest after watching Burlesque too, but it’s never killed me! Just wipes right off.
Burlesque, you say? Shit, she is good.
Women be droppin’!
*grizzly old Clint Eastwood rolls up in gigantic aged pickup truck*
Well, did he fire six shots, or only five?
Getting shot was the highlight of her evening.
She went from being a leadfoot to a leadchest :(
I’m going to assume her death has something to do with the fact that the black dude in the picture is not the real Morgan Freeman.
I’ll bet anything a Lohan did this.
I hear the large rock hard pole she crashed into was quite Milton Berlesque.
I’ll say this, she’s publicized the fuck out of her death and is a lock for the Oscar “In Memoriam” segment.
RANDY QUAID IS RIGHT!!!
how is she not immortal? that banner pic is her w/ God, right?
This is what she gets for leaving the kitchen.
She drove a Benz E350? Very C-list.
On the bright side she now has 5/9 the street cred of 50 Cent
Who’s to blame? Bon Jovi says you.
Cupid is getting mad street yo.
/5 shots? Mad redundant too.
Michael Bay has called to express both his sympathy for her passing and his disappointment that the car didn’t explode upon contact with the light pole.
The unkindest cut is that they waited until *after* she watched Burlesque.
This is the saddest collision with a Pole in Hollywood since Polanski stopped cruising the middle schools.
Looks like someone decided too…
[Sunglasses]
…Ice-a-Ronni.
YYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
I call five shots in my chest breakfast.
Cuz I’m a drunk, you see.
I like how they said she had “apparent” gunshot wounds to the chest like it could be another option.
On a related note, The National Enquirer is getting ready to run a story about a Hollywood woman who recently died because she grew three new tits and started lactating blood out of all of them.
I like how you said she “reportedly” died.
I’m pretty sure she categorically died. Maybe the details are reported, but I doubt she faked her own death.
“Chasen began her career as a publicist in 1973, and worked on films such as 1989’s Driving Miss Daisy and 1997’s Lolita.”
Holy shit. That’s quite a resume. An 8 year gap, and then they come up with a Showtime remake?
“Buck Futter won the Academy Award for his 2011 screenplay ‘Not Far From The Heart’. He also authored 2020′s ‘Fart Academy 3: Not Far From The Shart’”
a fair edit, but unless I’ve seen the body myself or have my own sources, I’m still relying on someone else’s report. Having not seen the body, I couldn’t say that she categorically died.
Wow, very creative way of reviewing Burlesque.
This will be the closest Burlesque will have to achieving 5 stars.
Vince, So Michael Jackson is still just reportedly dead?
Where do you stand on the alleged Abe Lincoln assassination?
Is anyone else seeing the irony of the fact that her car got wrapped around a pole after seeing a movie called Burlesque?
TFBuckFutter – you are categorically annoying.
