Proving conclusively that justice has been abandoned and that fame, fame, fame and a GOOD STORY is all that matters in this X Factor century.

Especially when it's a corpse because they can't sue.

Morals born of resentment and jealousy are ugly.

I recall a Guardian cartoon in the late eighties that springs to mind, of a caricatured Mrs Thatcher pushing through a crowd with the words "Let me through I`m a ghoul!", after the Kings Cross disaster.

I actually don`t find this story personally a good one JK, technically its a suicide, it`s someone I had never heard of before, she is now very famous to many people, like myself , and not here to enjoy the champagne, or the book and film rights.

I know I spend much of my time on another planet but who exactly is Anna Nicole? The name rings no bells at all.

She was the "actress" and "model" (ahem) who shot to fame entirely through her enormous assets, and later married a man 60 years her senior (it was pure co-incidence that he was also a billionaire !)

He died ... she inherited. His family sued ... she sued back (it's still not settled).

She had a son who died of a drugs overdose a few years ago. In her will she leaves everything to him ! So ... if she wins her zillions (from the billionaire) they go to her son who is already dead! Clear? I thought not !

To add to the confusion she also has a daughter (before the billionaire came on the scene). No one is sure who the father is (but plenty are claiming to be !).

The daughter (or her lawyers) will now sue for a claim of the money which her mother (if she wins her court case) left to her dead son.

Thats about it, really !

Not strictly true, her Son died a couple of months ago from a drugs overdose in the Bahamas at the same time as her daughter was born in the Bahamas(in the same hospital). She had obviously not had time to change her will reflecting the recent death of her Son and the Daughter was obviously born years after the billionaire had passed away.
The tradegy is really the young daughter who not only has no Mother but at the moment, has I believe, four living men, claiming to be her Father and the claim that the long dead billionaire may be the Father be virtue of frozen sperm!!
You couldn't make it up, indeed on the news today even the Judge was crying in Court! although quite why we're being subjected to so much coverage in the UK is beyond me, Panto's are usually reserved for Xmas.
