she was 39
and of course the media is all over this:
[a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070208/ap_en_tv/anna_nicole_smith"]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070208/ap_en_tv/anna_nicole_smith[/a]
Poor Anna.
I don't know how to feel about that.
Erm, I don't quite understand the part about her bodyguard giving her CPR for an hour. It took an hour for the paramedics to arrive?
Anyway, yeah, I don't know how to feel. She was a celebrity. She was shallow and dimwitted, but not a particularly bad person I guess. Mostly I felt sorry for her after watching her show a few times and realizing that she didn't exactly live on the same planet as most people. I'm more bummed about her son dying at 20 :(
Poor Anna. I don't think she ever found happiness in the end.
I think maybe depression and fatigue may have contributed to her death. She was also taking these dietary supplements and one of the side effects was heart trouble. I feel so sorry for her little 5 month old baby.
yeah the poor kid.
I don't know how they administered CPR through the huge implants. They take up her entire chest region! If she was lying down, they would still be sitting on top- instead of falling to the sides. I just finished my CPR re-certification, and you have to use quite a bit of force for each compression- you're supposed to push the chest 1.5-2inches inwards. Even on the plastic CPR dummies (no breast implants!), it's quite a bit of work.
Yeah, I never understand breast implants either. I mean, I'm not against them if you lose a breast (or two due to cancer) but to enhance the twins? Meh. Not my cup of tea.
She had large ones. Too big. I kinda wonder if they would have intefered with her breast feeding and her back.....
I don't get why guys in general like the big balloons to begin with. I've never been a big boobs person.
suspicious death. her old husband dies, the husbands step son that was sueing her dies, her son dies, and now her. wasnt there a story about her lawyer husband supplying drugs that killed her son?
Hmmm. Did she ever inherit from the old dead guy?
That was messy. She won the first case then it was overturned and then she has to go back again to fight for it. I'm not sure where her court case stand now.
I don't think she married him for love though. I mean, to marry someone who's 80 something years old. C'mon. It ain't love, that's for sure.
I hope she finds peace in her next life. :)
Well, you know what they say.. the way to a man's heart is through his fly..

I'm sure the old dude would have found her appealing in gumboots and fishing hat.

With or without viagra? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif)
ah viagra is weak cialis lasts 3 days.
not even going to ask.
that's what they say in the commercials
Why would anyone want their dick up for 3 days straight? It doesn't make sense.
I don't know. I can only think of 3 good reasons.

Haven't you notice? It has been raining everyday.............I wouldn't mind pitching a tent for 3 days straight
a single wall tent with a fly?
ROTFL. Good one. *sheds single tear*
Good comback.......bless you
I think that's what killed Anna Nicole's husband. lol
I was a little disappointed in Anderson Cooper tonight discussing all the details of her estate, her will, how much money she owes her lawyers. The woman hasn't even been dead for 12 hours for pete's sake. I thought it was tacky.
well her life has pretty much been one giant court case and technically thats the thing thats kept her famous.
Maybe so, I still think it's tacky.
This whole day has been tacky in my opinion.
How can a day be tacky? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]
They've treated it like the president was shot or something. Its been over kill by the cable news press
So...theories- cause of death? I call OD.
she's a methadone addict of course its an o.d.
great article[a href="http://www.ridiculopathy.com/news_detail.php?id=1766"] here[/a]
Holy. It's sad that it's become acceptable to laugh and make jokes about a woman dying at 39.
yeah I went over to her imdb board and people were making jokes.
sorry, I shouldn't be so flippant about her death.
Its okay, I'm p'od at the moment because the news media here is only covering her life at the moment, acting like the president was shot or something. Thank god that CNN at 11ct goes to an international broadcast. wait brilliant they're not showing the program. ugh!
I still feel sad for her. She never had a good life right up till the end. She's been fighting all her life. I just hope she had some kind of comfort in the end.
i think howard k stern (the husband) killed her.
it was him that gave the drugs to kill her son, it was probably him that gave drugs to anna nicole smith. guess who gets the 400 million now?
Sure looks like it. I bet he encouraged her to take the drugs... to dull the pain. Now there's not going to be anyone who will step in the way.
Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband now says he could be the father of the baby.
And he will file suit if the baby is handed over to the other two guys fighting over it. lol
This is not my opinion. This is Bruce Allen's Reality Check (on CKNW):
[ul id="blog-list"] [li class="title title-local"] [span class="blogtitle"]Anna Nicole Smith [/span]
[span class="date"]Friday, February 9, 2007[/span] [/li][li id="blog"] Anna Nicole Smith molded her life around Marilyn Monroe and now she dies like her idol. You don't have to wait for an autopsy of Anna Nicole's death to know that drugs are involved. There are some other truisms that will emerge in the next few weeks. She was probably broke and if she had a will that we don't know if she does there will not be much to be distributed to her hangers on. The DNA test that she was desperately trying to avoid will probably show that her baby girl was not fathered by her lap dog lawyer, Howard k Stern. The wedding she went through with the aforementioned Stern will prove to be invalid, her son who dies in Nicole Smiths hospital room from a combination of methadone and anti depressant pills was only a precursor to what was going to happen to his mum. But why are we fascinated by a big busted freak who when she posed for playboy in 1996 was 132 pounds and then shot up to 240 pounds only to drop the weight on a Trimspa program that relied heavily on the drug Ephedra which has since been banned. We saw her through her bizarre weight problems, her rehab, her ridiculous marriage to an 89 year old billionaire and the subsequent series of trials to try and get her hands on his fortune. [/p]As of this date she has got nothing and her lawyer for that case has been chasing her for a 1 hundred and thirty thousand dollar fee that he says she had no intention of paying. She was evicted from her rental house in the Bahamas for lack of payment, she was found dead in her room at the Florida Casino where she probably got a free room if she just spent two hours every day in the gambling area, just hanging around for a cheque. [/p]We watched because we love a train wreck and Anna Nicole was a train wreck. A physical freak with no talent, no money and obviously no friends, just hangers on who were trying to bask in the light of reflected celebrity. Now all of those leaches will be on every TV show and in every weekly magazine, trying to squeeze out a couple more minutes of fame, pitiful, but predictable. [/p][/li] [/ul]
Does anyone think that her son could be the father? :P
LOL!!!!!!!!!
This whole thing sure makes me thankful I'm not a celebrity. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif" border=0]

Anything is possible.
Same here PC. It's sad that the poor baby doesn't know who her father is. And if it was her son, that would be "interesting."
Never thought a stripper from a small town in texas could become such a social icon
You could say the same about Pam And.
good point she got pointed out at a football game. lol
I thought that it was at a baseball game.
I think it was at a BC Lions game. If my memory is correct, she was wearing a Labatts Blue sweatshirt (it was the erly '80s, so it looked ok!). She was pretty back then.
Yeah I think it was a Grey Cup game as well. She got pointed out and the rest is history.
wow I haven't gone three hours without hearing Anna Nicole Smith on the tv. so glorious.
her life story was on 20/20 just now.
anyone know why she is famous?
Because 'we' the public, suck up this stuff like it has value. When someone has reached celebrity status for whatever reason, the next thing you know, they're on the talk show circuit as authorities on one subject or another whether they have any training in those areas or not. And WHY???
Because we send the message to them, that they're more special than they are. They're just freaking people who happen to be able to act well, or sing well, or party in prominent places. WE make them celebrities, and then wonder who the heck are these people who think they're so darned special.

All I know is this fake Prince Fredrick von Anhalt hubby of Zsa Zsa Gabor is hysterical.
I wikipedia'd von Anhalt and discovered the following linkage:
Anna Nicole<affair>von Anhalt<married>Zsa Zsa<prev. married>Conrad Hilton<son>Conrad Hilton Jr.<married>Elizabeth Taylor<best friend> Michael Jackson
Don't also forget the obvious link to Paris Hilton (Conrad Hilton's great granddaughter).
Well-researched Lil Me, there's a moral in it all somewhere. Something on the lines of birds of a feather, but I can't think exactly what.
P.S. Will her remains be laid to rest in Silicon Valley?
I'm not claiming that she was any kind of saint, I just found it deeply sad that the jokes and nasty comments were flying less than 2 hours after she was dead. News programs already divvying up her estate....or if she even has one.....who she owes money to....the paternity of her child. I don't know....for Gawwwds sake let the poor woman at least be laid to rest first. She's still someones sister, daughter...friend.
In contrast, there's the story of the astronaut that was planning to murder another human being, and the amount of people rushing to her defense is astounding. (I suppose just because she's an astronaut) The understanding and sympathy for this 'poor woman' has got me baffled.
If death is only tragic when someone has achieved greatness, then there's something wrong.
The very attitude that measuring the worth of the persons life has some relationship to the degree of tragedy, is not far off the type of thinking that allowed the lack of effort in bothering to find Picktons victims for years and years and years.
P.C. You've shamed me!
Sorry Gophie. I really didn't mean to. I have just found myself very sad about this whole thing for some reason. It just feels so.........I don't know [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/a010.gif" border=0]
Yes, I know what you mean, sometimes we forget.
Geez. What's up with the fight already? Let the poor girl rest for crying out loud. Even in death she's hounded by lawyers.
Now they're disputing about her burial!!! (which is rapidly deteriorating) I feel her mother is greedy, she wants to take her body back to her home town so she can show ppl around and possibly charge admission. Anna bought a burial plot close to her son, Daniel's body in the Bahamas, she talked about being buried there.... duh! What's there to dispute about??? Let the poor woman go already for crying out loud!!!
Not to mention the judge's that presiding over her case, Judge Larry Seidlin has a double motive - he wants to appear on his own court TV so he's delivering all these one-liners and trying to act like he fracken cares.
Grrrr!!! Some people are idiots sometimes.(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Angry/3.gif)
I'd be interested to see what would happen to all these would-be fathers coming out of the woodwork, if the news were to put it out there that the child will inherit a 5 million dollar debt.
Isn't the paternity call the one where most men scramble for the hills?
The whole smeary mess has been appalling. What ever happened to a time period of respect for the dead, regardles of who they were when they were alive.
Yes. These dead beat fathers have absolutely no shame. I have nothing but contempt for them because all they see is controlling the kid's fortune. Disgusting.
I don't understand why Anna did not leave a will behind. Surely she must have known this might happen so why wasn't she prepared for it? At least get something down and notorized it for crying out loud. Her companion's a lawyer, surely he must have asked her to do something like that.
Then again, I'm not too crazy about Howard either. I think he has a hidden agenda too.
No respect for the dead. Not even for the living. Money brings out the worst in humans. Meh.
i found this kinda funny...i love the part about the 'slow moving sperm'
ADD O.J. Simpson's name to the list of Anna Nicole Smith conquests. When the blond bombshell died last month and at least three men claimed to be the father of her baby girl, Dannielynn, the double-murder acquittee "said he was throwing his hat into the ring," Norm Pardo told Page Six. Pardo is the videographer who amassed 70 hours of footage of Simpson from 2000 to 2005. "He said he knew Anna Nicole pretty well, and he said he had slow-moving sperm, and he might be the father." Simpson and Smith were castmates in "Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult" (1994), and Anna Nicole was certainly O.J.'s type. His murdered wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, was also blond and busty. Simpson, who often visits the Bahamas, also joked to Pardo, "I hope they don't do a DNA test on Anna Nicole's baby. If they find out Dannielynn is mine, I don't want Fred Goldman trying to seize her money - or the baby herself." Goldman - the father of Ron Goldman, who was killed with Nicole - has been the most relentless in pursuing damages over the murders in civil court after Simpson was acquitted on criminal charges.
Slow moving sperm????
slow moving sperm that change ethnicity during a 12 year journey.
ROTFL. Slow moving sperm? I can't believe people would actually make a statement about this and not appear stupid.(http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a015.gif)
They do appear stupid.
I agree the mother is being greedy and unjust in her daughters funeral wishes. She looks like the type anyhow, I wish her unhappiness in the years to come.
