Well, it is sad. She was a real beauty in her youth, but sadly, she seemed to turn all that into something quite other than beautiful, with her immature behavior and inability to control her various appetites. More because of her immature behavior, really.
I recall seeing bits of her reality show a couple years ago when I still had cable. I found it depressing. And "Trendy Bobby"? He seemed to be even more of a mess than Nicole.
One of the reasons why I cancelled my cable was that the so-called 24 hour news channels would belabor the same top trivia story endlessly, punctuated by arrogant commercials for more of the same coverage. I do miss Comedy Channel and History Channel. But for documentaries and thoughtful programming PBS wins hands down, and I can get it loud and clear for free (other than an occasional membership) over the air.
Anna Nicole would merit maybe two words on a PBS news program: "She died".
