It's Sunny here. [Not! Gray and chilly.]
What's up with comparing Anna Nicole Smith to Marilyn Monroe, other than her looks? Is anyone else tired of it? Honestly, I was out of the loop for more than a day and didn't even know the woman was dead for about 24 hours. My mom said, "You didn't know? That's all we've heard about for two days!" Again, why? What did she contribute to this world, really? Great people die all the time and get less press. She did nothing except dye her hair, get a boob job, and spend money that wasn't hers after using an ailing old man. He was what, about 60 years older than her!? If your elderly parents or your grandma or great-grandfather or Aunt Bess or whoever in your family was being taken advantage of, wouldn't you fight it too? And not just for the money? I'd be madder than hell! Yes, technically, she won (or will win, even in death, but what a scummy way to get your fortune).
Back to my point: At least Marilyn Monroe had some talent that she worked on and honed even to the point of receiving praise from critics and fans. I'm not saying she was Katherine Hepburn, but she made the effort. Anna Nicole Smith did nothing except try to look good (or sleazy or buxom or tartish or whatever her mood was at that moment), and she used people to get all of those perks, with no regard for anyone but herself. All of the media keeps talking about how she "doted" on her son who died recently; if you read the fine print, you'll see she left her (then) infant son with her mother to go be a titty dancer in Houston. Yep, that's devotion for ya.
Give me a break, please. I'm sorry for her family and young daughter, but she doesn't deserve the front page, much less the time I've taken to write this.
