I’ve heard that everyone will have 15 Minutes of Fame. Just thinking, have some people over-stayed their welcome? Case in point, Anna Nicole Smith. Can she go away already, I thought she was over, after Playboy, and Guess, but E! Entertainment brought her back, for another 15 Minutes. Anyone else think of someone else, who have outdone their 15 minutes, but can’t seem to go away 😕 ---

The quote, from Andy Warhol, was, exactly: > [@](#): > > _ **In the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes.** _ [cite](http://www.warhol.org/museum_info/faq.html) But in the spirit of the OP, I definately think that Ana Kournakova (sp?), Brittney Spears and N’Sync have had their quarter hour…
