Right now, in Britain, we have a reality TV star who is trying to earn money to make sure her sons are okay.

Why?

She has terminal cancer.

She got the news when she was on Indian Big Brother (the reasons for which are too long to go into). She signed up for a series as soon as she got back to the UK, and they have followed her every step of the way. She, the tabloids, and I believed she would weather this storm as she has every other - she's a born survivor.

But no. She has months to live.
And journalists are finally coming round to treating her with respect.

Because when it's one of their own (John Diamond's cancer diaries in the Times) it's "brave". When it's someone from Big Brother it's "desperate" and "is there nothing she won't share?"

Jade Goody has admitted she is trying to bank enough to secure the future for her two sons. But also to show the process for other people in the same situation, who don't have the same media coverage. And to die as she lived - in the public eye.

Sorry, this ended up being off topic.
I have no support for the amazing clown vagina woman.
I just wanted to point out that a decent person who loves their children can have an acceptable reason for letting the media in.

I firmly believe the ACVW's plan from the outset was to become rich and famous.
