The conspiracy theories still abound over the death of Princess Diana.  Why not over Anna Nicole?  The tabloids have gotta have something to talk about........

If the story runs true to form, then this will likely be a hot topic for a month or three.  And then the subject will be largely forgotten about.

How many people these days talk about the death of Sharon Tate?  Or of Thelma Todd?  For that matter -- outside of some old movie buffs -- how many people nowadays even know who Thelma Todd was?  Even though she was a huge star during her own generation?

Life in this world -- and fame -- are like mist.  I believe that the ancient Japanese used to call it "the dream of a butterfly".

Anna Nicole is gone.  Now the circling vultures can fight over her money -- and over her corpse.  Which they are doing -- for the entertainment of the public.  Greta Van Susteren will be on the case for several more weeks at least.

BTW - if Anna Nicole had been ugly (or plain), then we'd never hear about her death on Greta's show.  Or in the rest of the press, for that matter.  But Anna was attractive (at least she used to be), and she was blonde -- so her death makes for great copy.

((If Elizabeth Smart had been ugly, then we wouldn't have heard much of anything about her story, either.  Or about that girl who disappeared in Aruba.))

The whole thing is both morbid and sad.

I think that I've heard that 5(?) different men now claim to be the father of Anna's daughter.  (?)  And as everyone knows -- to legitimize the claim to the child is to lay claim to the money.
