I'm as willing to argue that Paris Hilton is a spoiled little rich girl, desperately in need of a reality check, as the next person. But this is seriously starting to smack of piling on: Hilton Transported To Twin Towers Jail And, if that weren't enough, the fact that the Sheriff's Dept. is calling a press conference to address "the Paris situation" is bordering on the absurd. Seriously, isn't there ANYTHING more important going on in the world right now? We are still warring in Iraq, right? And wasn't there something about our President and the Russian President facing off over weapons in Europe or the Middle East? I don't really know, since the news was too freaking busy with the Paris Hilton travails.  

I leave that to real journalists, like Tim Rutten in his Regarding Media column from last week's Sunday LA Times. But I've gotta figure, what's the point of one more person chiming in on the Anna Nicole Smith story, you know? But this week has really pushed this over the top. First, there's video of Anna, obviously out of it, seriously pregnant, in clown makeup with a baby doll in a carriage. And her lawyer/friend/would-be baby daddy Howard K. Stern heard on the tape telling her the video's "going to be worth millions". Then comes word that she was prescribed methadone under an assumed name, by some doctor she's seen rolling around with in a West Hollywood gay bar, while Howard (yes, that Howard) and the other wanta-be babby daddy, Larry Birkhead are looking on. Mom, Howard and god only knows who else are fighting over where she's going to be buried. Her dad, whom no one's heard from in over 20 years, has suddenly crawled out of the woodwork. ...

With the news of Anna Nicole Smith's death yesterday, you had to figure it was only a matter of time (and a short amount of time, at that) before the custody battle ramps up. After all, her 5-month old daughter COULD end up the heir to millions, depending on how Anna's battle over her late husband's estate is finally resolved. We knew that her attorney/friend/husband (?) Howard K. Stern and former boyfriend Larry Birkhead were going to continue slugging it out. And I assumed that it wouldn't take long before Anna's mom jumped into the fray. After all, who better than family to look after that poor (metaphorically speaking) little girl? Whether it's Anna's mom that makes that realization, or one of the bevy of lawyers surely to be circling the household like a murder of crows is beside the point. But then comes this gem , in which Zsa Zsa Gabor's eighth husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, reveals that he's had a decade long affair with Anna. He says...
