What I mean is, most people probably wouldn't even know who he is, and certainly not by name alone. Why does he get the front page story on CNN.com?

Because CNN needs content to feed the beast.

His celebrity (at least in the US, not sure about Canada) has grown quite a bit over the last few months.  He's got some show on Discovery and he was hitting the talk shows.  His appearance on Conan with his pitchman partner was good stuff.

When was he on Conan? Recently? If so then BLAST MY NOT HAVING A HOOKED UP TV!

He also liked to beat the shit out of hookers when alive, that helps get you attention.

That was Vince, not Billy. Do not slander his name.
