Anna Nicole: her death and her times
Anna Nicole Smith's death hit the news the same way her life did, and I'm in no way implying this was a good thing. But the pinup/billionaire widow/actress/famous-for-being-famous woman's sudden passing says as much about her as about us as a society.
Her death led the local news, and we couldn't get enough of it. I know plenty of people -- moi confesses -- who have tuned in for regular updates from the coroner's office.
Can you say celebrity obsessesed? Can you spell voyeur?
Too bad we can't show the same kind of interest in something of substance. Moi confesses again.

It's a train wreck. People stop and look, rubber necking, and saying a prayer of gratitude == there, for the grace of God, go I.
What a waste of a young life. Her shallow priorities shaped her life and, it seems, her death. She can be a lesson to all of us - LIVE FAST - DIE FAST.
I confess, I have very little interest in this case, other than pity. I shake my head and thank God that my children have been raised with a good sense of priorities and morality.
God help her baby - her life is probably doomed by her mother's excesses already.
