Since the death of ex-Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith the Nesbit family have noticed a new interest in the evening news by their once news-shy 13 year old son Tim.

Before the death was reported and the endless news coverage began, typically accompanied by slow motion video montages of the shapely star in various states of undress, Tim had no interest in the news. Since the untimely death Tim is waiting every day at 6pm for news on her burial and is often switching on to CNN and Fox News for breaking updates.

"It is so good to have a boy so keen on current events," gushed Tim's mother Sandra, "he is becoming so focused that he does not like to be interupted so some days he even secrets himself downstairs to the spare TV to watch the news alone!"
