Forget Iraq, Iran, who's running for president in 2008, the nuclear agreement reached with North Korea last week, Chrysler cutting - actually you probably missed the last 2 stories because of Anna-Nicole Smith, the inordinate amount of television time devoted to her death and all the tangled plotlines winding through her life that are worthy of a Raymond Chandler novel.
Check out how many front page headlines on cnn.com deal with this story. The morning shows give credence to this trash by interviewing whatever money-grubbing third cousin who wants a shot at the fortune of her six-month old daughter.
Admittedly, there has not been so bizarre a celebrity death since Ted Williams' son had his body interred at a crygenic facility in Arizona.
But what did this woman do once her modeling career ended, aside from generate headlines with her personal life? She generated headlines not through talent but with outrageous actions, starting with the J. Howard Marshall marriage. In the last year, she's been all over the paper. Even if I wanted to know nothing about it, I couldn't avoid it.
The woman's life is so omnipresent it's disgusting. Who knew she even had fans out there?
