Anna Nicole Smith: More fame now than alive.

Let the dead rest, and let the past remain the past, Captain Picard

Anna Nicole Smith

Okay, I made an effort not to mention her in my blog until the Smith Death hoopla died down. Well, it hasn’t died down and it has gotten worst. I flip through CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and all I see are shows devoted to this woman. What has this woman done other than to make us laugh at her? Yes, it was tragic that she died, (I believe she never got over the death of her son), but come on. I’m all for honoring the dead, but this is beating the dead over the head repeatedly. Aren’t there other issues to discuss other than who will acquire Anna’s Trim-Spas money? Did she have a bigger impact than James Brown or Gerald Ford? Can we let her rest in peace and let the story die?

We have far more pressing issues to discuss, like Britney Spears shaving her head and cheerleaders taking off their clothes…

Let’s look at her award winning roles shall we.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult: Certainly the weakest of the Naked Gun movies and you know you’re in trouble when the marketing surrounded Anna Nicole Smith’s body and not how funny the movie was. She doesn’t play a bad role, mainly because she’s playing herself.

Skyscraper: Straight to Video! From IMDB.com, A helicopter charter soon turns deadly when the female pilot finds that she is on a building held by terrorists. It is up to her and her husband to save the hostages. All this just so she can get naked…

"The Anna Nicole Show": Sigh…

Countless Trim-Spa ads: At least she was better than Jared from Subway.

So, let this whole than die down, and let the lawyers fight over it in private. Bring on Britney-gate!

If I had to sum the problem with the Smith story, it would be Nancy Grace and her show. Nancy, do we need wall-to-wall coverage? Don’t you have other people to yell at?
