Supreme Hearing for Gold-digger

Interestingly, while the rest of the world has grown tired of listening to and considering Anna Nicole Smith, the Supreme Court is ready to give it a shot. The former Playboy Playmate, who marr-ied 89 year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II a year before his 1995 death, initially was awarded $474 million of his estate, which was subsequently reduced to $89 million, and finally by the 9th Circuit Federal court to $0 million.

That's right, she married the almost dead guy that frequented the Texas club where she "danced" and didn't get a dime of the inherit-ance (this despite singing "Wind Beneath My Wings" at the funeral--seriously, I think you can find the video somewhere). It seems unjust really. And as it turns out...

The Supreme Court--always happy to straighten out that crazy 9th Circuit in San Francisco--has graciously offered Ms. Smith nine shoulders to cry on.

The question to be debated is a technical matter of jurisdiction, but don't think for one moment that the sometimes-plus-size sometimes-actress won't find a way to make some part of the proceedings ridiculous. Mark your calendar and stay tuned.
