Not a good title, I'll agree. Usually statements like that denote an inability to deal with death, by making light of it - tossing it off, but I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, just making an observation.

I was shocked to hear of Anna Nicole Smith's sudden death; I heard it from the kitchen where I was cooking dinner. Of course, I put things on to simmer and went in to hear whatever sketchy details there were at the time. I'm afraid I couldn't help jumping to conclusions. I mean, her son dies at the foot of her hospital bed while she sleeps - drug overdose? Now, she mysteriously dies, collapses and her bodyguard can't resuscitate her?

BTW, she wasn't technically married to that lawyer of hers. They never got a marriage license. Then there's the paternity issues, which I'm sure the two men in question will now be clamoring to get DNA testing for, now that she's gone. Again, jumping to conclusions.

I heard on the 11 o'clock news that her mother (who knew she was even alive?) is trying to get custody of the remaining child. (Sad.) Talk about an American tragedy. If a writer had come up with a novel that laid out ANS' life, no one would have published it. I watched a couple of episodes of her "reality" show...it was pathetic, yet I couldn't help wondering whether it was really what she was like or whether it was pandering to what she thought people already believed or felt about her. Still, I read the tabloids, too. I felt she deserved to win her court battle and did, but wonder if she ever got the money with the guy's son still battling to keep it from her. Or if it made her life any better. The sum in question is $400,000,000.

Now, maybe she's at peace, however she died. And she does deserve respect on that basis alone.
