Farewell Anna Nicole Smith! (64)

Well she bought a 4 person plot where her son was buried cause she wanted to be buried next to him. That's what I heard on T.V. lastnight. She didn't want to be near her mother, and that's why she bought the plot where she did. I say they should follow her wishe's and burie her where she wanted. As for the money, well, a big piece of that should go to that millionaire she married's family! She totally screwed that family over and they should get what they deserve! I heard she was still battling the court's over that?

you are right dougie, if thats what she did, thens he should be buried there...plus she should be buried beside her son. As far as her will, if her death was accidental or she died of a heart attack then she wouldnt have thought to change her will...no matter what l would think that the courts would see to it that her daughter will be taken care of and the money put in a trust fund for that purpose...she must have had her own money and not just the money from the rich husband...

She did have her own money as for the old mans estate that she married she was still in court fighting for it so it isnt hers if anything it should go to the baby. Her body cannot be released pending a dna trial that the men in her life have engaged in. She was a free spirit let her find her final rest where she wanted!!

Whether anyone likes it or not Anna Nicole was famous, beautiful and young. In case anyone missed it, if someone dies the media is all over it like a bad rash, even if that person has been out of the spotlight for many many years. Its bad enough they have been all over her in recent months anyway. Tis true, she was not the smartest nor the most "idol worthy" person around, but it is sad all the same. Her baby, her son, and then her death, I hate to admit that with all her drug use in the past everything seems to fit together in a sad but tragic way. I think we are all aware of there being millions of children out there who have lost a parent, or both and have had a tragic life, it just so happens that Anna was famous and a media darling so its in everyones face. 39 is far too young, but its for the best for her and possibly for dannielynn too.
Anyway, theres my 2 cents..........

That...actually was the point i was trying to make...the tragedy of her death and the fact that she has left behind a new baby daughter does NOT make her a "paragon of virtue"...

It is splashed all over the news because she was "famous, beautiful, rich and young"...but that's it!!

It just seemed that because some of us where finding it hard to go into a "self-imposed" mourning we were somehow being unsympathetic to the fact that a life was lost...we were not...we were just saying that her "life" did not inspire us to drop what we were doing and mourn the loss of this person...

You want "paragon"..."newsworthy"...worthy of mourning and tragedy...
Princess Diana, Mother Theresa....now that's my opinion and i would not be angry if everyone did not see it that way....

You are so correct there Urs just because she was famous doesn't make her this paragon of virtue. I don't in fact mourn her death I do feel bad for the baby caught up in all this crap they deem news worthy. Yes Mother Theresa and Princesss Diana are more deserving!!!They did wonderful things for everyone in the world and gave of themselves wholeheartedly not to become newsworthy but because they gave from thier hearts!!!
Stephanie!!!

Right then...I cannot recall who said "paragon of virtue", nor do I care to find out but, let's just see...

par·a·gon –noun

1. a model or pattern of excellence or of a particular excellence

vir·tue –noun
1. moral excellence; goodness; righteousness.

So, by definition Mother Theresa certainly qualifies and Lady Diana probably does although this can be subject to debate by some I'm sure.

I can hardly see however, how Anna Nicole Smith qualifies as such.

Regarding a comment earlier about how the media is all over this - just who do you think is fueling the media frenzy?

And lastly, to those that feel I'm splitting hairs and getting "grumpy" about word definitions, I have but this to say: if you are going to use big words then you had better understand what they mean.

Sorry Arthur...it was me that used "paragon of virtue"...but it was tongue in cheek and meant sarcastically....

now, had I read back to see who posted it I would have seen it was you and the context of the post! d'oh!

BUT I'M STILL NOT GRUMPY!!!!!!!!!
