Jade's Mum's teeth

It's amazing the things that become news in the tabloid newspapers really. OK, so we know that Jade Goody's dying of cervical cancer and we also know that she's doing it pretty much in public.

However, there's a certain straining for a story here I think. Do we really need to know that Jade's Mum has been instructed to get her teeth fixed for her funeral? Jade's funeral that is, not Mum's?

SPIRITED Jade Goody has ordered her mum to get her teeth fixed — to look nice at her funeral.

The dying reality TV star, 27, shelled out for Jackiey Budden to have her gap mended as soon as possible.

Jackiey, who has a fear of dentists, has cancelled three appointments in four months.

It's a bit of straining for a story, don't you think?

I'm not sure there ever really was a day when newspapers only reported only news stories but again, I'm not really sure that there was ever a time when newspapers reported such trivia.
