Well, interest in the chaotic affairs of Anna Nicole Smith Marshall have continued with wall to wall media coverage of the legal wrangling over Anna Nicole’s body. The Bahamas put a restraining order on the baby, Danielynn so that she cannot leave the country. No one still knows who the dad is…and a recently filed will of Anna Nicole makes it clear that she wanted EVERYTHING she had to go to her son DANIEL and NO ONE ELSE, not future children or spouses. Only problem? Daniel is dead so now what? how will they decide the will?

As if THAT’s not enough – conspiracy theorists are blogging like crazy about the lawyer/mate, Howard K Stern. Some believe that Stern gave Daniel the methadone that killed him. Others also believe that Stern kept Anna Nicole drugged up so that she would do what he wanted.

So why can’t we get enough of anna Nicole? Because NO ONE can turn away from a great mystery wrapped up in a soap opera. This is human drama that would rival a greek tragedy.

And all of this mystery --- isn't ABOUT US. That's an important psychological point because daily we face many many important issues. The Iraq War and how we got into it, witness the Scooter LIbby trial. And domestic issues like immigration, education and the economy. Further in our private lives, we have challenges and difficulties that need to be faced and dealt with. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE ABOUT US – AFFECT OUR LIVES – UPSET US, CONCERN US, WORRY US….

What a relife then to turn to the capitivating myster of ANNA NICOLE. IT’S A GREAT MYSTERY AND SOAP OPERA AND IT DOESN’T AFFECT US AT ALL…

People go to the movies to escape their reality. In fact, at the height of the depression in this country, movie comedies and musicals were at their most elaborate. It's because WE HUMANS NEED DISTRACTION FROM OUR ANXIETIES….

SO HERE IS ANNA NICOLE’S MESS OF A LIVE…complete with sex, money and mystery. WHY CAN’T WE GET ENOUGH OF ANNA NICOLE? BECAUSE WE CAN’T RESIST A GOOD DISTRACTION – AND A TRUE LIFE ONE TO BOOT!!

The death of Anna Nicole Smith is THE ULTIMATE REALITY SHOW and it certainly makes you forget about all those other issues, big and small, that usually consume us every day.
