WHITE NOISE

I guess this fits into the David Faustino-gets-a-divorce category: Why should I care that Anna Nicole Smith has died?

I mean, I derive no joy from her death, and I wish all who are saddened by this news well, but how does this effect me, or anyone? Why was she famous? For having big tits? For being scarily blonde? For her weight problems, or marrying that old guy? Have the standards for celebrityhood fallen so low?

But it's the top story on all the morning shows, and it's all over the web, and Matt Lauer actually referred to her "untimely death," like she was working on a cure for cancer or something.

So it must just be me...
