So keeping it current but light, Paul tried to tell me the other night that Anna Nicole Smith was this generation's Marilyn Monroe. The only thing those two have in common is that both were bottle blondes and both are dead. I don't think our generation has a Marilyn. What would the criteria be? Affair with President + prolific actress + sex bomb + serial wife + troubled childhood + Playmate + premature death? Monika Lewinsky meets Julia Roberts meets Pamela Anderson meets Angelina Jolie meets J-Lo meets Drew Barrymore meets meets Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC? Yeah, not sure we have one of those.
The death of Anna Nicole is really sad and for many reasons. The woman was obviously a bit of a trainwreck, but she wasn't all bad. She inspired me to buy my first big-barreled curling iron - that was a good thing. She was a sexy Guess model, and I like potential wardrobe options modeled by women who look like they can an enjoy a nice piece of bacon and/or a brownie sundae. In her last interviews she looked like she was really suffering and deeply depressed over the death of her son and was clearly being sedated. Whether or not she was self-medicating, well...either way it's understandable. Now she's dead, and 3 men are claiming paternity over her baby girl. Good luck to that little lady. They should put aside a substantial portion of her potential trust fund for the copious amounts of therapy she's clearly going to need. Although starting out with a troubled childhood isn't necessarily a bad thing. Who knows, with a little luck and some strategic marketing she could be the next generation's Marilyn Monroe.
