I thought I wouldn't, but I have to!

I did a little piece on Anna Nicole Smith a few weeks ago where I thought that our fascination with her was indicative of what was wrong with North American society.

That, as far as I thought, was the end of it! However, something came up that I just couldn't leave alone.

First of all, Anna has been compared to a modern day Marilyn Monroe, (Even though she looks more like Jayne Mansfield) but, there is a big difference. Marilyn Monroe was a certified, genuine movie star! She did pictures with the likes of Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis and Clark Gable.

(Plus, if the press is to be believed, she had an affair with the President of the United States, and married Joe DiMaggio.)

Anna, on the other hand, has never done anything of note except being "Playmate of the Year" in the early nineties.

She is, rather, a product of the modern media, who create celebrities whose only claim to fame is that they are celebrities.

Between the likes of Anna, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, we have a new breed of "Star" that is created with an image, but absolutely no substance. Listen to anything they have to say, and they come across as without any depth or value.

I could include the likes of Jessica Simpson and a few others in this class, but at least Jessica put out a few records and had a fan base, not just a bunch of dedicated strokers!

Anyway, before I get too far off topic, the latest news is what made me decide to have one more "kick at the cat!"

The latest person who claims to have fathered Anna's baby is none other than Prince Frederik Von Anhalt who is husband number eight to Zsa Zsa Gabor! (I thought she died years ago, but apparently not.)

It seems that saying you slept with Anna Nicole Smith is now as popular in The States as every guy from Timmins here in Canada who claims to have banged Shania Twain!

But, back to Freddy. He, in spite of all the claims, has been a friend of Anna's for many years, and with Zsa Zsa's spending habits it's no wonder he is trying to cash in on the publicity as well.

The latest twist to this story is that during this friendship Anna once tried to get Freddy to "ADOPT" her so she could be a Princess as well!

This one is just about weird enough to be true!

The only thing that put a damper on that was that Zsa Zsa refused to go along with it!

What a bitch eh! ;-)
