"Trim Spa Baby!"

I am sure all my readers have been wondering over and over again why I havent posted about the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Well, I was staying at my parents for a few days and their stupid computer doesnt work.

Anyway, Ann Nicole died earlier this week much to the joy of americans everywhere that had her in their death pool. I don't think I ever heard so many jokes cracked about someone dying when news got out around my office that she died.

Anna Nicole was truely watching a 10 year trainwreck. She started off pretty normal I guess as a Guess Jeans model. From there she went to pose for playboy and at the time was considered the hot girl. She even looked as if she was going to have some what of an acting career in a 1994 starring in movies like Naked Gun 33 1/3 and The Hudsucker Proxy. However, that didn't last when she married that old dude. From that point on she was pretty much known as that money grabbing whore that married and old dude for his money.

At this point tabolids fell in love with her. She was really the first poster girl for the 24 cable news networks and the sleazy shamless cable network shows E! that pretty much started around the time she became household name. Daily updates on what she was doing and how it effected America as if she was a really important public figure would even take up time on such "news" channels as CNN and FOX NEWS.

Later came her E! reality show, where if you ever watched it would certainly think she belonged in some sort of nuthouse or rehab rather than on tv. She was drugged up and made an ass out of herself everyweek not making any sense. She also proved what a horrible mother she was by forcing her son who had no desire to be on the show appear. I saw one show where he just begged her to stop having cameras following her around.

As for her "career" her craziness and weight gain pretty much killed it. She did straight to video flicks and guest shots on tv shows but noting more than that. Sadly her son died last fall almost exactly the way she did under a cloud of mystery.

Might sounded like a mean they died post, but really its just more about the way humanity will always be interested in the suffering of others. Certainly the media wouldn't keep us up to date on Anna if we weren't rewarding them with buying their magazines, hitting up their webpage and tv ratings would they?

I remember listening to MMR earlier(sp?) last week and they were talking about her. I thought at this rate she's not going to last another year. I feel bad about thinking that, but she was a person who ran red hot and was a trouble magnate. I think she was a tragic person and feel sad that she died the way she did. BTW her lawyer killed her not the millionaire family,

Oh well guess Americans will just have to start paying attention to auctually important stuff like the war in Iraq.

And FINALLY who bet on her in the death pool. I would look at crewblog, but we all know that crewblog is finished.

Looks like you were wrong about the crewblog. There is a post about it, although its starting become the Echelon Mall of blogs. Maybe is should be re-named the Crew Town Center Blog.

What is strange is I was flipping around on radio stations when Preston and Steve were out for ads and XPN was doing news, and stumbled upon Ben FM. They have an awful morning show. But, I listened for some reason. They were talking about Anna trying to find out who the kid was. I thought to myself, she will die young. That was the morning she died.

A few months ago I had a dream that Peter Boyle was going to die, after having watched reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond when I was over my parents. Two days later he died.

Maybe I am getting some sort of wierd super power.

Unfortunately, those powers do not include the gift of grammar.

"Anna Nicole was truely not watching a 10 year trainwreck."

"Might sounded like a mean the died most"

Those two quotes made the corpse of E B White cry.

Howard K Stern (the lawyer) killed both Anna and her son.

Ben FM is a good station. They have a great mix and you can hear Luke Skywalker and that guy from Seinfield!
