Sad though anyones' passing at such a young age may be, I do feel very much as ^^^^.

Far too many people these days are being touted by all forms of media as "celebrities", merely for having been on TV once or twice, or participated on a "Reality Show" ....... and don't get me started on them!!

Better stop before I get too carried away.

I'm not sure that being an infamous widow, losing a 20 year old son, having wrangles through the courts regarding the paternity of your daughter and dying at the age of 39 actually qualifies you as a success.

If you define being famous as being successful then you're halfway to answering your own question. Why do ordinary mortals such as us put such a high importance on fame? It doesn't matter. I think these days for a lot of people, being famous is the only thing they have actually succeeded at and probably the only thing they are capable of doing with their lives (Jade Goodie in the UK is a case in point). Or is success measured by money in the bank? It's true that famous people do tend to have more money, but to measure success on that basis is surely just as shallow as wanting to be famous for the sake of it.

A.N.S. always struck me as strange in the extreme so for her to die in strange circumstances is not really a surprise either. I'm sad for those who'll miss her though.

I saw that yesterday. Very sad ... especially for that little girl. I hope she rests in peace.

Good Morning America just reported that illegal drugs were "reportedly" found in her hotel room. Hopefully that is not an accurate report.

I've got similar feelings as others as to the whole "celebrity" thing but for now I'll just echo DB's sentiments.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I'm with Nutworld, PF and Booger. Why put someone on a pedistal just because they have lots of money. The news media has so much time and not enough news that they have to make stories to air by giving 'celebrites' air time.

I do feel sorry for her baby girl.

Lou, I understand your point, and I agree, much of the turmoil of A.N.S's life would hardly qualify as "success". However, I ask this question.

Take yourself back to Monday Feb 5, 2007. If you became involved in a discussion with a friend, regarding if somone was successful, if they were considered famous and able to capitalize upon that fame?

Would you and your friend considered A.N.S as successful or as a tragic figure in the days prior to her death?

rest in peace anna. and peace to her family.

Definitely tragic....I loved honey girl for being a BBW and all that, and also being able to rebound a bit after crashing and burning...but girl was a mess and she was largely treated like a joke.

When she was doing the Guess ads, that's when she really was on top. If it had ended then, it would be a totally different story.

The western world has developed, mainly through magazines, people who are famous for being famous. Their antics sell magazines, without them there are not the blizzard of lifestyle comment mags, so therefore they exist in celebrity. I'm not saying it's bad, just sad.

It looks like ANS may not so much have rebounded as floated for a while assisted by substances.

Speaking of people "famous for being famous...the Original somehow gets in the middle of this tragi-comedy...

That's not just irony, that's Irony writ large...
