    Not sure how you can beg to differ. Anna Nicole was Playboy Playmate of the Year. She was the Guess jeans girl for a while. She was a legitimate model and received the fame and attention that came with it.

    She even had a terrible acting career (a la Cindy Crawford).

    This isn't someone who became famous for simply going to parties with famous people, like Paris Hilton for example.

    Anna Nicole Smith was a laughingstock by the end, but there's no denying she had a legitimate career (as far as showing your titties goes) that made her famous -- in the same wa many other women have become famous -- in the first place.

    sorry, being a "playmate" didn't make her "famous" in my eyes. comparing ans to cindy crawford -- who for a loooong stretch was the cover girl on every big-time mag cover in the world -- is ridiculous, imo.

    Well, being a playmate and the Guess jeans model might not have made her famous in your eyes, but it did in a helluva lot of other people's.

    Clearly, Cindy was the more successful model (she was, after all, a supermodel), but the fact remains the two are famous for the same reason: their looks. To say Anna Nicole is some kind of media creation, while pretending that Cindy Crawford, or any number of other models, is famous for some more valid reason is disingenuous.

    And really, I'm defending the media here as much as Anna Nicole. Not sure why. :)

    Personally, I'm shocked. I figured it would be the meeting place for the SportsJournalists.com Mensa contingent.

    Carry on. ::) ::)
