Death Succombs Her


You'd think it was the second coming and going of Princess Diana the way the media has jumped all over Anna Nicole Smith's death. What's even freakier is how quickly Larry King could pull together a tribute show, I mean it's not like she was Mother Theresa or Nancy Reagan and everyone was placing bets in the dead pool on when she was going to OD, then again, it was Anna and maybe they were! She's been an Amtrak train traveling down loose ties these past several years, so even by her sister's admission, "this isn't a surprise." But how morbid is it that a show could be pulled together in a matters of hours?


How does one give the Playboy Playmate her due respect, given that the reality show that was "Anna's vida loca" was orchestrated and filmed, allowing for everyone to catch her in all her absurdities . She thrived on being in the media, but trust this, death is not her last hurrah. The myriad of issues that her death creates is more pondersome than trying to figure out how long after the expiration date a carton of eggs is good for! How'd she die? Did she get offed? Who's her babies daddy? What happens to all the money? Was she legally married? What's Howard going to do? Who will interview Bobby Trendy first? What are the legal ramifications of her death? Will Howard handle it all? Is Trimspa involved?


Now we just have to wait for Quincy and the CSI team to do their investigation, let the media do their endless spinning and over-evaluation and finally see if the truth eeks it's way out somehow. Until another astronaut goes crazy, or Miss USA falls off the wagon....
