Below might be one of the most plausible—and definitely one of the most impossible to prove—rumors we've heard at Jossip all day.

The tragic death of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner is shrouded in mystery - leading experts to suspect the spunky televangelist took her own life to end her suffering and the prolonged agony of her family. Tammy Faye died just hours after a dramatic farewell appearance on Larry King Live, and some people believe she orchestrated her own death with a drug overdose.

Hmmmm…a. who gives a fuck and b. I kinda hope she did kill herself, because watching that woman's final interview gave one the impression that the physical pain she was suffering was unimaginable, especially considering the godforsaken tragedies that had befallen her all those years prior. And screw these people.

As people of all denominations the world over mourn the loss of Tammy Faye Messner and use her life to think introspectively about what their faith means to them, some failed citizens are taking this news to mean that God may not even exist. Look to the video above for one such instance. In it, Paula Abdul ponders, "Where's God when you need him," before breaking down into one of the most irritating displays of unbelievable fragility ever caught on tape. While she doesn't mention Messner's death at all through her blubbering, one has to assume that the loss compounded stresses already plaguing Abdul, and that this grown woman's not uncontrollably sobbing and losing her religion over a soured deal to participate in the fucking Bratz movie!

Tammy Faye Messner, who gave what would be her final interview to Larry King last Wednesday, passed away on Friday after battling cancer for over 10 years. Throughout her life, Messner suffered the philandering and imprisonment of her first husband, the imprisonment for fraud of her second husband, woeful financial issues, a drug-addicted son and the expanding cancer that would eventually kill her. And yet through it all she exuded kindness, grace, dignity and faith; leaving one to wonder where God was when the most undeserving of his flock endured several lifetimes of pain in only 65 years.

A cancer ravaged Tammy Faye Messner (nee LaValley) bravely premiered on Larry King Live last evening and unabashedly proclaimed that the "gays rescued her" when she and husband Jim lost everything following his sex scandal in the late 80s. How disheartening to see anyone in such a state; but how absolutely heartbreaking to see that one of the few famously pious people in the world willing to say that gays are human and decent is uttering the words from her deathbed.
