The story appeared on Drudge and is on TSG.

The headline on Drudge was "

The headline on TSG is Intoxicated Anna Nicole Spurs Live 8 Suit

Apparently at the heart of the law suit is a loss of a good chunk of change, which is understandable why anyone would sue over that, but the TSG story starts out

How can a drunk and possibly almost naked Anna Nicole Smith detract from this or most events? This was a bad thing?

Ok, like I say, if it's a matter of money, and a healthy amount, by all means, sue. But to name these are part of your reasons? Doesn't that sort of go against the whole "sex, drugs and rock n roll" mentality?

Or just the idea that Anna is drunk and taking her clothes off?

I'm sure I'm missing something.

The rule of thumb is to post the whole article, not just the link...

Charity claims Trimspa welshed on $320,000 promo deal

DECEMBER 2--Claiming that an "intoxicated" and "scantily clad" Anna Nicole Smith marred this summer's Live 8 concert in Philadelphia, organizers of the charity fundraiser yesterday sued the Trimspa diet firm for failing to control its erratic spokesmodel and not paying a six-figure promotional fee. According to a federal lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, a copy of which you'll find below, Trimspa agreed to pay Live 8 Productions $320,000 for commercials during the ABC broadcast of the July 2 show and for Smith to be "integrated" into the production. The Live 8 complaint, which seeks in excess of $500,000 in damages, contends that Trimspa not only stiffed the group on the promotional fee, but "to add insult to injury, when Ms. Smith showed up to the Philadelphia concert to be integrated into the ABC broadcast...she was intoxicated and scantily clad in revealing attire that was totally inappropriate for a broadcast that would be seen by millions of people in the United States and then rebroadcast throughout the world." While Smith did eventually appear on the ABC broadcast, the group alleged that she "damaged Live 8's reputation and goodwill in the entertainment industry by her unbecoming and erratic behavior." Live 8, which organized concerts worldwide to coincide with the G8 economic summit, seeks cancellation of African debt and the doubling of aid to the impoverished

The rule of thumb might be to post the whole article, but some sites take their copyright and the infringement thereof seriously. I haven't read TSG's, but based on what I know of copyright notices in general, I simply didn't.

Sooner or later something like that's bound to catch up with site. Just my opinion.
