Anna Nicole Smith may have died over half a year ago, but just you try to stop people from thinking about that cute little pharmaceutically-dependent, surgically-enhanced, clownfaced dead softcore pornography model.

And that's not just because people have found Anna Nicole Smith's masterwork Skyscraper to be an enduring piece of modern cinema, either – it's because she was a blonde girl with enormous hooters who took too many drugs and died. And that's more or less the reason why Anna Nicole Smith is in the news again. Police investigating Anna Nicole Smith's death have raided six locations under the assumption that some of Anna Nicole Smith's doctors may have been illegally prescribing her the drugs that did her in. Maybe now, and only now, will someone finally be held accountable for the death of that woman who nobody really cares about any more if they're honest with themselves.

This is a big claim to make, but we don't think that Anna Nicole Smith was ever in the news as much during her life as she still is eight months after she died. Back then Anna Nicole Smith would pop up now and again to tell everyone she was pregnant or that she was still chasing that dead old man's money, but following Anna Nicole Smith's death, it seems nothing is too small to propel her back into the news. 

Sure, the big stuff's all tied up – Anna Nicole Smith has been buried and we all know who the babydaddy is, but since then the whole affair has been a cesspool of tit-surgery videos and bumming allegations that hardly anyone could give a stuff about. This whole Anna Nicole Smith palaver had two choices; either it could gracefully fade away with dignity or it could come bawling back into the headlines as a reminder of what a desperate screw-up Anna Nicole Smith was for the bulk of her life. And this is Anna Nicole Smith we're talking about here, so which way do you think it's gone?

That's right, and the Anna Nicole Smith headlines that are being bawled about involve the way she died. Although initially Anna Nicole Smith's death was put down to a tragic accidental overdose of 11 different drugs, now it seems that police have had good reason to raid a number of different locations over her death, including the home of Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. TMZ reports:

California Attorney General Jerry Brown says that he requested the search warrants executed earlier today in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith because, he believes, "a serious crime has been committed." In a press conference… Brown didn't divulge specific details of what he was looking for, and what crimes might have been committed, but told reporters that "playing with dangerous drugs" can result in death and "prescribing drugs illegally is a crime," and he suggested people should "put it together."

It's far too early to draw any conclusions to these recent police raids – and certainly too early to point the finger of blame at anyone – but we sort of wish that someone would point the finger of blame pretty soon, because if new stuff keeps happening at the rate it has been, that Anna Nicole Smith movie is going to have a run-time longer than all the Lord Of The Rings movies put together. And if you thought time dragged when you were watching epic, huge-budget battles, imagine how it'll feel to watch a clueless overweight model trying to make sense of some Super Noodles cooking instructions for roughly the same amount of time.
