No one could have imagined the events that happened this week. First, an astronaut traveled hundreds of miles, wearing diapers, allegedly trying to kill a woman supposedly trying to win the attention of her love interest. This was a 24 news channel’s dream story. It had all of the elements to allow MSNBC, CNN and FOX to do stories for the next two weeks solid.
But hold the phone…
“Newsflash: Anna Nicole Smith rushed to a hospital… check that, Law Official says Anna Nicole Smith is dead… wait, we’ve just gotten word that Anna Nicole Smith died.”
Forget what happened with the astronaut. This is the story that will be fodder for all of the cable news channels and any other “news” outlet for months. Who will get the baby? Who’s the baby’s father? Who will inherit all of Anna Nicole’s millions? What about the pending lawsuit against Anna Nicole and TrimSpa? What about her son’s mysterious death? The questions will go on forever. And we’re not even going to venture into conspiracy theory land.
Don King held a news conference to talk about Anna Nicole. Zsa Zsa’s husband admit he’s had a 10 year affair with Anna Nicole. Former WWE wrestler, Chyna, fought with the wife of TrimSpa’s CEO, Alex Goen fighting over whether Chyna was stalking Anna Nicole. Entertainment Tonight is “breaking” news about the latest on the investigation.
Strap yourself in, this is going to be a long media circus because who knows when poor Anna Nicole will ever be buried or finally put to rest.
This just in . . . she’s being sent to the Rotunda at the Capitol. Where Elton John will sing and thousands can grieve in her honor.
