Shouldn't it have been a 10-second-and-out story? Surely CNN compete with celebrity news; along with Fox News et al. . .Think this is how they are attempting to reach out to younger viewers who will 'follow' them. 'WhatEVER' it takes; it is obnoxious to suffer through, I agree.

However, do think Kanye's Mother's death was noteworthy and qualified under 'human interest'; not just because of her 'prominent' role as Mother but because of the issues surrounding her death and the fact of how she died - 'outpatient plastic surgery' - the 'casual approach' all too common.

In addition, the PS was not just a 'kitchen Doctor' - though his skills and judgment, might put him there - he was a celebrity plastic surgeon having appeared on Oprah. . .Discovery Channel etc. His dysfunctional shortcomings were not on his resume; however.

Guess it is interesting inasmuch as it shows how easy it is to be fooled by those who are automatically by theircelebrity considered worthy of your trust. And so think this story stands; not as a word to the wise; but to those who need to be.

And of course, this story stands as well against those celebs who imagine they are 'Green experts'. . .Global Warming buddhas; Arm-Chair Generals, et al and ad nauseum. . .which is just about all of them.
