Celeb Death News

Any death of a young person is tragic, even a tabloid star, but I bet there are three people in the USA who are thrilled by the timely demise of Anna Nicole:

Crazy Astronaut Lady, her Intended Victim and Captain Catnip.


Sometimes there are real benefits to the media having the attention span of a gnat.

You left out Dubya, Dr. Evil (Dick) and company. With CNN covering Anna, all kind of sh*t can hit the fan in Iraq- heck, we could probably invade Iran- and no one would notice.

True. I have to admit I was shocked while flipping to AC360 around 10:40 last night and seeing Ware reporting. I just assumed they wouldn't even bother with Iraq last night. Clearly he got bumped from the top spot, but at least he got some air time.

In a perfect CNN world, he would've been reporting on the Iraqi reaction to Anna Nicole's death, but thankfully life has not gotten that stupid...yet.

Give it time....but it does conjure up an image of Ware doing a street talk thing in Bagdad, sticking a microphone in people's faces and getting their reaction.

Michael Ware will become Baghdad's Jeannie Moos.

Oh god.

And at last count, 3 men had come forward claiming to be the father of the child - how many more are there lurking in the background?

Count another putative father...the late husband, rumor has it she froze his sperm?

I'm afraid to turn on TV news at all anymore...

You mean the old man? You're kidding! But what about Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband? I was reading about his "claim" to the baby yesterday. Boy, does he sound like a piece of work.

Apparently before he became Prince whatever he was a gardener or something with a very ordinary name - I'm not sure I want to know much more about him, except he's Zsa Zsa's ninth husband.
