My Way News - More Tests Needed in Smith Death Case shows that the cause of death for Anna Nicole Smith is still uncertain.

But was she worth 24/7 media attention now that her slow-motion train wreck of a life is over?

I'll freely admit that the camera was kind to her. The few minutes of video I saw once from her reality-tv show... not so much. There's some people who are at their best when time can be taken to craft a visual, stationary persona, and she was one of them. When she moved, or spoke, the illusion was shattered. With her main assets being a pretty face and a nice figure, topped of with a pair of hypertrophied mammary glands, it's both remarkable that she made it as far as she did, and unfortunately ended up with the people who likely assisted her in giving her everything she needed... or thought she did. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for... you might get it.

She wanted to be thought of as a Marylin Monroe-ish archtype. I don't think she made it - she didn't have the intelligence or personality of Marylin, or the talent. At best, she'll be remembered as an archtypical blonde... all hair and boobs, a pretty face with nothing behind it.

And her suriving child... that poor baby will have one hell of a life in the spotlight... assuming she survives long enough to grow up. I'm thinking that the death of Anna's son, and now her death, were simply the means to set up a way to get hands on the millions left behind.

RIP, Anna Nicole Smith - you got what you 'wanted', and that may well have been the worst thing that could have happened to you.
