    I just heard about this. How bizzare.

    Wouldn't blame her if she killed herself.

    Somebody I know died today.

    I'll always remember the date of his death because it's the same day Anna Nicole Smith died.

    And to think, I recently tried to find her on MySpace, and then didn't add her. I could've been one of the last dudes ever to have her on my MySpace!

    But I think any celebrity death is tragic, not because anything Anna did was special in a worldy view, but because so many people care about her enough to make her a celebrity. If we care that much, then her death impacts us, even though it can be argued that her life was primarilly about making herself sexy enough to marry an old rich dude, and then beg for the inheritance.

    Ah yes, but who cared about her enough to make her a celebrity? Probably not most of the people here who are saying that they only care because it's another human being or because she's leaving an infant behind with no one to care for it. There are quite a few people who could care less whether it was Anna or someone that they didn't know, because it would be about the same. It's sad that a human died, but it's not more sad because she's a celebrity. I certainly know that I don't care if she's a celebrity. I never supported or cared for her. Hell I still don't know what she looks like. I've never really cared to figure out who she is and why she gets so much media attention. So, I'm with everyone else. It's sad that a human being died. It's sad that she's leaving behind an infant. It is in no way, nor should it be, any more sad just because of her social status.

    I agree it's b.s. when a deceased celebrity gets more attention because of that person's social status...Regardless it's still a pretty sad story because like you said Anna left behind a baby, and that child will probaby get sent to an orphanage.

    It is absolutely ridiculous to complain when celebrity deaths get more attention than non-celebrity deaths.

    You know why? Because celebrities by default are KNOWN BY MORE PEOPLE. The more people who you're known by, the more attention you're gonna get when you die.

    It's really not that hard to understand. A person who is the CEO of a billion dollar company is going to get more attention when they die than the owner of a fish food store. A person who has 500 friends is going to get more attention at their death than a person who only had 5 friends.

    This isn't to say that one death or another is more IMPORTANT or that celebrity deaths cause more grief. That's not it at all. I'm sure that there are plenty of non-celebrity deaths that have caused more grief than Anne Nicole Smith's death will/is causing.

    But the fact remains that the amount of attention that you receive is directly associated with how many people know you. Especially in terms of the media. If Oprah died, I know she'd get a helluva lot more attention that she died than I will when I die. And I have no problem with that. It really shouldn't matter. So why complain about it?

    Because it's fun to poke fun at what pop culture tolerates as a loss. She didn't really do anything note-worthy, did she? People are basically placing importance on the fact she was a good-for-nothing gold digger. I mean she wasn't even evil in the sense that her actions had some bearing on our culture or society. Why even acknowledge it?

    Her death should be personal, not some media extravaganza.

    I haven't read any comments that said that she was someone of value to society. And she's not getting attention for that. The only reason why she's getting attention is because she was a celebrity (though not a popular one) and her death was sudden and scandalous. She's not getting attention because she was a gold-digger, she's not getting attention for being a druggie, she's not even getting attention cause of all her lawsuits and whatnot. Very specifically, the only reason why this is getting media attention is because she was someone that was widely known. And now she is dead. That's really all it is.
