Opinionated Ranter - The Adventures of Being Awesome...

 
I am but a man trying to live the dream. This is how I see the world...

ANNA NICOLE SMITH

Okay, I'm not really sure why I'm wasting my time on this. Put it down to a slow news day. Anna Nicole Smith is dead at age 39.
The death of anyone is tragic, but I can't believe the amount of press this item is getting. It reminds me of the old days when people lined up to see the freaks in the circus side-show.
As a testament to man's ingenuity, Ms Smith was more plastic than true skin and bones and we should perhaps worship the plastic surgeons, who no doubt gained valuable experience for reconstructing burn victims, rather than her. She went on to become a Playboy Playmate of the Year, which I'm sure made her parents and kids very proud.

She became a gold digger when she married that old coot who had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. Through long drawn out court battles, she got her share of his wealth and grieved over the dead hubby for about a week. I remember Jackie O took years to get over the loss of JFK. Coretta Scott King grieves for her dead husband to this day. Things seem to work differently in Hollywood.
She lost a twenty year old son close to the time she gave birth to another child. This was last year, so, doing the math, she must have had the son when she was 17 or 18. Hey, I know stuff happens, but it doesn't help her image of a fine upstanding citizen, does it?
She was embroiled in a lawsuit to determine who the father of her latest child is. Well, that tells us she slept around. Her role model was Marilyn Monroe apparently. I don't know much about Marilyn, she was before my time, but I think I could've come up with someone better to look up to.
She tried a reality show a couple of years ago and never caught on to the fact that people watched it not to laugh with her, but at her. She was tied up in a case concerning her diet pill ads that apparently don't work.

She was, by all accounts, a circus side-show freak who prostituted herself as a clown and didn't get the joke. She made money at it, but it's not doing her any good now is it? And in spite of all this, we will have her face splashed all over the newspapers and other media as they try to convince us that she was actually important.
She's dead and gone. Can we move on now?

Good points, Youranter! The main (and only) important thing about her death is the baby girl. When she was first born, and a little before the fact as well, men were popping up from under every rock around, claiming to be the father. Ms. Smith didn't even know who the father was, for goodness sakes. Today was the day one of the men was heading to court in Calif. to prove his paternity. Whoever the real father is, will control billions of dollars in the baby's name. Some incentive to play "big daddy", huh? In life, her only interest was herself. In death, she has left a mess for others to clean up. Typical...

Must be a slow news day, lol. I did a blog about her, too. Geraldo Rivera brought up the fact that the same person was there when she died as was there when her son died. I'll withold an opinion about that until the autopsy comes out. But it could make an interesting murder mystery, couldn't it? Like her idol, Marilyn Monroe, her death will play out longer than her life.
