Anna Nicole Smith and Rita Cosby: Together in Life and Death

I was minding my own business, randomly clinking on links this afternoon and i clicked on this one. "Now," one might say, "who cares whether or not Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead were lovers. Anna Nicole Smith's baby was soo last spring. I have moved on, my life is fuller knowing that the Baby will be fine and that the crazy fucking judge is getting his own television show." This is a valid position to take.

What got me in this case is that this new tell-all book was written by our favorite gossip monger: Rita Cosby. Thats right; after being fired from her job taking up space on MSNBC and driving Ros crazy for years, Ms. Cosby is living her dream job peddling her blood-soaked wares in book form.

I think it is important to take a minute the think about the subtitle of this tomb "The Untold Story Behind Anna Nichole Smith's Death." Its a catchy title. Its tells the reader what its about (Ms Smiths death) and it qualifies in a provocative way (this is what you didn't know about Ms Smith's death). Really? How much more could there be to tell? Smith's death, the death of her son, her funeral, and the legal battle of her money and daughter was covered non-stop by cable news for damned near a year. In the wake of her death the media spent a lopsided amount of time ignoring the war in favor dead playboy playmate.

Needless to say, i am going to stick this book into my Audible que because, frankly i miss the sound of Cosby's four-packs-of-Virginia-Super-Slims-a-day voice.

Viva the Cosby, Viva.
