Around 3:30pm on CNN, anchor Don Lemon felt the need to defend his network’s extensive coverage of Anna Nicole Smith‘s collapse and passing. After Showbiz Tonight’s A.J. Hammer mentioned her legal problems, Lemon replied:
“With everything that’s going on with Anna Nicole Smith, that’s the reason we’ve covering it, because it sort of supersedes entertainment. There are a couple of lawsuits at stake here, and it’s just been a very tumultuous time for her.”
