I cut and pasted this story from Yahoo News:
Public life, public death
Jade Goody has really walked that fine line between fame and notoriety. An object of mockery for her ignorance and boorish behavior on the “Big Brother” reality shows, Goody’s latest incarnation as a human spectacle has won over the British public and press. Unfortunately, it took a diagnosis of terminal cervical cancer to do it. Doctors have given Goody just weeks to live, but on Sunday, as she was married, the TV cameras rolled, capping intense media coverage of her medical struggle and wedding plans. Photo and video rights to the event were reportedly auctioned for 1 million pounds, and she has agreed to spend her last days as a public curiosity, she said, so she can leave the money to her two sons.
Wow! I can’t really say if that was a smart or selfish choice. You would think she would want to spend such intimate last moments with her son rather than sharing them for the world to see.
Then again, if she’s doing it so that her children will have money, I guess it would be a good decision. Financially.
