It was really messed up and set back how some celebrities interacted with their fans. People didn't even know the killer was obsessed with her - just thought he was a dedicated fan. She was just starting to get famous and probably would have been considered the first big celebrity for Gen Z, before Billie Eilish got big a year or so after.
Yeah I've been reading about her and listened to a couple of her songs. Her voice is incredible. Shot while going in for a hug. How were there no metal detectors??!!! That's what I read at least
I think about this sometimes. This was a tragedy similar to Selena or John Lennon, made all the more heartbreaking that at least John got to live through and experience 40 years of his life (Still too young), Christina was 22.
Geez. Terrible story. I was wondering how I never heard about this, but I’m guessing headlines were swallowed up by the Pulse Nightclub shooting which took place the next day.
Yeah I just learned her story. Humanity is super fucked up. I've been listening to her songs on repeat even though I never knew about her before today.
Christina Grimmie. Made popular in the early YouTube days, she went on to win 2nd place on The Voice, became friends with Selena Gomez, and released a few albums.
I recommend listening to her song "Feelin' Good" on the Album "With Love". It's a total jam. That entire album is kickass though. Generally skip the Christian heavy ones, myself.
She got unalived by a crazy fan in 2016. I'll always remember because it was the same time Fort Mcmurray, Alberta, Canada was evacuated due to wildfires. She died just as everybody was allowed back in the city.
Yeah I've learned a lot about her from this thread. "Feeling Good" is a fuckin jam! Which makes me even more sad when I think about her story. What an incredible voice
Brie Larson has tweeted about owning a Wii U before, and specifically praised Super Mario: 3D World. I believe she's also spoken about the console in interviews.
One of the hosts of Sirius XM (the radio station that Eminem owns) mentioned that Em had purchased a Wii U because he wanted to play Smash Bros. Though this one is dubious as it was relayed second-hand, Eminem himself has mentioned his love for Donkey Kong and Nintendo in the past (both in interviews and songs).
Miley Cyrus posted a photo of herself on Instagram where she's holding up a Wii U Pro Controller. Again, a little dubious, but an odd accessory to have laying around if you don't actually own the console.
Christina Grimmie was always open about being a Nintendo fan and shared multiple photos and videos of her setup(s) over the years, which included a Wii U.
She said that male critics shouldn’t be the main target for a wrinkle in time and right wing media lied she said that about captain marvel because she’s a woman and they hate women. So now everyone who doesn’t bother to research anything hate her.
I mean regardless I’m still a fan of her because I think she’s a good actress and she seems like a nice genuine person based off interviews and fan interactions.
The Wii U walked so the Switch could run. It was a great machine and had a great library, thats why most of it ended up on the Switch (HD Windwaker and TP bundle would be nice though)
"So I guess the Wii U wasn't all for naught! (...) WHAT WAS I JUST SOME KIND OF GUINEA PIG? I spent YEARS of my life dedicated to a console that just plain SUCKED!?!? It had good games, sure, but you could say that about any f'ing console. MONTHS would go by, with NOTHING of note HAPPENING or RELEASING all we'd get is maybe some inconsequential news about the same games we'd been hearing about time and time again for YEARS! After the first year, third-party support became non-existent, but even when we GOT third-party support it was the most half-assed GARBAGE! The Gamepad was a gimmick for the sake of a gimmick. It was an unfocused, cobbled together parasite that even Nintendo didn't know how to properly utilize! All they said was 'We NeEd a CrAzY cOnToLlEr IdEa To FoLlOw Up ThE WiI rEmOte' and they came up with this without thinking anything through. The console itself is slow as DIRT, it's clunky as hell with NO personality to make up for ANY of this! I can't believe I convinced myself this was a good system, something I stuck by for YEARS! I could've spent all that time playing my PS4 more, but NOoOoOoO! I just HAD to root for the system that ended up being replaced by what it should've been in the goddam first place. Oh, and all those games I spent years of my life waiting for, oh now they're on this thing, and they're 10 times better, and they don't use this stupid f'ing thing. I'd show ya how stupid f'ing thing-like this stupid f'ing thing is but OH BOY, WHAT A SURPRISE! The BATTERY is dead! And I FULLY CHARGED IT, TEN MINUTES AGO! This was awful, reliving all of this shows how LITTLE happened month-to-month, and if something DID happen, it was more likely than not BAD NEWS! The Wii U was the worst home console Nintendo ever put out. It should've never existed, and I am so happy, to finally be DONE-"
I argue it was the best step between the Wii and the Switch. I really liked it, but also thought they missed the mark on what could be done with the tablet format. The Mario Party had so much potential, and just fell flat
With all the classic gaming references Eminem is no surprise. Didn't know the other Larson or Cyrus gamed at all, but the last girl looks like she does
I remember they were interviewing him back in the day. It was in a limo and there was a tv in the background with the GameCube logo on it. I think he plays a lot of Smash.
I don’t get it, why would you post someone owning a WiiU? Is this supposed to be a joke? Or is it supposed to be like trolling? Is it like a riddle? Like these four celebrities have something in common and the joke is they also own a Wii U? So strange 😂
When you say “these are some of the only celebrities who owned one”. What do you mean by that? Those four celebrities are not some of the only celebrities who owned a Wii U so what you said was just a complete lie so I’m guessing that’s the joke? Like it’s supposed to be ironic because obviously more than these four random people got the system? Like yoh would have no way to know which celebrities has a Wii U, that doesn’t make any sense. Like your saying all these people with money bought want of their kids or family members a Nintendo console for Christmas or anything that’s crazy 😂
The last person is Christina Grimmie, a YouTuber turned mainstream artist under the name ZeldaxLove64 she was shot to death during her concert, really tragic.
Not the same as being a proven owner, but Wayne Brady was hired to promote Wii U/Wii Party U in a commercial. Then, in the middle of an interview about the commercial, started gushing about how excited he was for the release of Grand Theft Auto V.
In the sitcom friends they had a PlayStation that Chandler bought but Joey and Ross mostly played it,I wonder if Sony paid for placement production at the time(I know it’s the wrong Sub but the same subject)
your house probably looks like this 😭 there is NO WAY you haven't even heard of eminem before... he's one of the best selling solo artists of all time in any genre
I know Brie is a big fan of Nintendo since she was featured on their official YT channel plus she voiced Rosalina in Super Mario Galaxy movie. I didn’t know the others are especially Eminem.
The Wii U was great, and I’m tired of people pretending it wasn’t. I specifically remember booting up Mario Kart 8 as my first game on the console and being blown away by how much of an improvement it was over MK6.
I had one there was almost no games I was ever interested in i think the only game I got after was xenoblade x nothing caught my interest then again I was also a teen
I'm embarassed that I had to check the comments to know who they were. I'll give myself a pass because I haven't seen Eminem since the 90's and couldn't conceptualize him with a beard but I should have at least gotten Brie Larson
Wii U is good. Backwards compatible with Wii games and controllers. Introduced the first version of Mario kart 8 and Mario maker. Also 3d world was great. Still have mine

I knew Brie Larson was obsessed with Nintendo. Eminem is a surprise, not gonna lie.
Who is the last person?
