How else can a middle-aged woman in full sag get into vanity fair without killing her husband or having hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery? Hell, she'll be a Lifetime Channel movie of the week eventually, and then start making infomercials like Meredith Baxter Berney. She'll write another book and Oprah will put it on the must read list.
It's like the Paris Hilton phenomenon for middle-aged women. When you're young you just have to be a rich (or homicidal) slut, and when you are middle aged you deal with some trauma and overcome it, showing the power of womanhood. When you're old you just tell dirty jokes and talk about sex a lot and make the youngsters giggle.
In the end it's like they have all these masks, and when one empties, they sort through the news and find someone else to fill it for a few months or years. She'll be swept out to the tartarus of Farrah, Nancy Kerrigan, Amy Fisher and Jerry Hall, making room for some other pathetic nobody everyone is glad they aren't...
