anna nicole...once a trainwreck, always a trainwreck

not to be disrespectful to the dead, but has anyone seen this much hullabaloo over a celebrity death since kurt? cuz seriously, i don't think i have. did you even know jonathan brandis killed himself five years ago?
it's a lazy sunday, and we're just lazing around watching tv, reading my ya ya trilogy, doing laundry, and i am being bombarded on every channel with anna nicole. and while of course it's a tragety (of sorts) that she died, i'm sorry to say it, but it's the fact that she was such a fucked up disaster that is making these people even think twice about her death. they have show after show after show just to be able to throw in a clip of her weighing 300 lbs. and slurring her words or stripping on mtv...or showing her old ass husband looking like a corpse, or showing her poor dead 20 year old son, or the two awful men who are fighting over the 5 month old baby that she left behind (and does anyone else think that the photographer guy, not howard k. stern, looks like a woman? what's up w/that face?). it's a sad state of affairs in america. and i am the first to admit that it's hard to look away.

last night becky remarked that she was taking her death really hard, because she was the first celebrity she ever knew to die. i was like, What?! Kurt? River? Jonathan? of course she plays the age game, and tries to pretend she didn't really KNOW them. but anna? come on!
