On the popular culture entertainment front ...

... Anna Nicole Smith, 39, whose bizarre life careened from marrying an octogenarian billionaire (she was still fighting for her share of his estate) to the untimely death of her son from drug abuse (she recently gave birth to a baby girl 5 months ago of unknown paternity), collapsed at a Florida hotel and died. The cause of death is yet undetermined, but I suspect drug abuse. And so it goes.

Update: 2/09, 1:46 p. m.: The saga of the Marilyn Monroe wanna-be, Anna Nicole, whose life and death imitated the legendary movie star's -- except for John and Bob Kennedy and the Mafia and Elton John's song, candle in the wind -- is getting a lot more bizzare. Expect more of the same, by the way!
