Who's The Daddy??..(and other unseemly questions)

Is it my imagination, or is the circus surrounding the recent death of the pitiable Anna Nicole Smith, morphing into one of the biggest soap operas of our times?

With four or more men claiming to be possibly the daddy of her six-month old daughter, what is one to think of her? Would any other non-celebrity woman not be considered a slut, a 'ho, or worse? So far, none of these obvious labels are being applied to her by the adoring, frenzied media that is reporting on her death and the ensuing struggle for her estate.

What is also unspoken, but certainly something I would be looking into if I were investigating her death, is the death of the sole beneficiary named in her will, her son, who died mysteriously mere weeks before her own death. How convenient for the man who was her lawyer and who has been named the executor of her multi-million dollar estate, and who also claims to be her 'husband' by virtue of a 'commitment ceremony' that neither the Bahamas nor the United States recognizes, and who also claims to be the father of her six-month old child.

If you ask me, the old adage, "follow the money", is the most important principle that everyone following this matter should keep in mind.
