Anna Nicole Smith

[violet girl{MM}]

i am not a fan of hers, but i found it to be both disturbing and sad to learn the news of her death today at age 39. i am like many others who feel that she was treated very badly by the media.They portrayed her as a gold digger who only wanted her dead husband's money, and they did not give her any mourning time when her son passed away in September at age 20. i was curious what Eeverybody (or Aanybody), thought about this. Comments?

[TheDeSade]

a beautiful woman with a lot of problems not all of her own making. A tragic life in many respects. I am particularly sad about her baby daughter.

[SheepishJaina]

I know she was taking that one weight loss pill and I can't help but wonder if that contributed to her death. I wasn't a fan of hers either, but I do feel bad for her daughter.

[mkemse]

I also are or were not a big fan of hers, but to died at such a young age after everything she has gone through 1st her son, then her dughter is born
I hope as a result of her death today, that all arguments will be put to the side and have both men take DNA tests, at the very, very least the Baby Deserves a Father now that her mother is gone but they need to find her biological father and no the one who wants to raise her
The did mention one thing which i felt was uncalled for, then mentioned when Anna and her husband/boyfriend took their union vows, it was less then 2 days after he son's death, the vows were exchanged on the beach beach, as many reporters have said about that, just not real good judgement by either of them to get married just 2 days after his death

[mkemse]

SheepishJaina,

they did mention on the news tonight that a lady had filed a muti million dollar law suit again anna and the company she worked for on the diet pills, but did not say say if one thing has anything to do with the other they also said she has complained last night about not feeling well and was runnig a fever

[_ID_]

wow would be bad publicity if thats what she died from. I assumed suciide, but if she died from a product she was promoting... talk about not good press.

[violet girl{MM}]

That TrimSpa suit is just a woman trying to get money...i took that stuff awhile back, and i'm still here, so it can't be all that bad for you. i forgot to mention her baby girl. So very tragic and sad that she has to grow up without a mother.

[mkemse]

my best guess is that with her being a celebrity and all, the media will find some way to bring drugs in, they always do

[Curious_1]

I think for anyone to die at such a young age is a tragedy.

I never watched her show but saw some of the previews. I would not have liked it.

Personally I think they need to see which man would be a better father. Who knows, they might just be there for the money.

[Radiance]

First her son, with a drag overdose,and now maybe herself,what a shame.

[TomOfSweden]

She'll be missed. There are far too few scandal beauty queens in the world. Who says she wasn't a gold digger? Some, (or more likely most) women get turned on by money. Like a fetish. I have no problems with it.

I think she liked the attention she got from the media, or she wouldn't have tried so hard to get it.

Too bad she didn't get around to doing some hard core porn. I'll miss her rack.

my two cents

[mkemse]

The very first thing that MUST be done is a Paternty Test to at least see who her real father is, everything elsene needs to be put on the back burner until this is done and somethingtell me despite this that her autopsy will recvieve more publicity then the DNA testing whic they said this morning on the news and emergency test in the next 24 hour has been court ordered, myself as well as i am surew millions more between her Trimspa job and others would lie to know what caused her death but they have to determine who her baby's father is before anything, but just my 2 cents worth if nothing else

[Warbaby1943]

I think it is tragic and I believe when it all comes out it will not be by natural causes if we ever do find out the truth.

[mkemse]

Warbaby1943,

I agree with you 100% 1st was it natural cause and 2 will they ever relase publicly the REAL cause or just the cause they want the public to know, In recent history I do not recall any celelbrity that died of "natural causes" even if they did it was not mentioned epsecialy at 39, but who knows strngerthings have happened. but what everthecause this will NOT help Trimspa

[DungeonMaster6]

Despite the bad press she got, she was no dummy. Even though she came off as a golddigger, she knew exactly what she was doing.

I haven't heard about the autopsy report, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were drugs that ended this train-wreck of a life.

[Widget]

I think at this moment the baby is the real victim now. The baby has become a pawn in the game of who gets the inheritance from her first husband. Ironically while that is still in litigation, the stepson of Howard Marshall who was fighting her in court is also dead.

It is one of the saddest things I have seen this year and I hope that her daughter gets to be with someone that will protect her from all the fallout from this.

[gagged_Louise]

You often get to see how scandalmongering papers, paparazzi and tv channels at once help making up new celebrities and then do grossly overwritten and libelous stories about them ("Billionaire daughter X broke down", "Anna Kournikova danced naked and drunk at the sports gala lounge - everybody totally SHOCKED", "Whithey FREAKED OUT", "Here's the clinic where X's wife XX is nursed for her rampant alcoholism" etc). The papers are happy to first advertise the star and then act like your strict grandmother getting "shocked" all the way to the pay-off. This is both debilitating and disgusting.

While Anna Nicole's life story had some very bizarre twists, I'm not going to judge the fact that she married this billionaire or the tragic events around her children. Rest in Peace. Anna.

[TomOfSweden]

Let's analyze this. People who don't know her personally aparently care about her. What has she got that other people haven't? Looks? Looks that she's been cashing in on. That's about it right?

She's allready got more press than the genocide in Darfur which has a lot more than one orphaned girl.

My conclusion is that a womans good looks and being sluty is all that it takes to get the sympathy of the world. Now that's sad.

[Widget]

Well the fact is that any sympathy that I feel for the situation is more saddness at the waste of potential and her daughter who is a innocent in this. For sure she made her bed and manipulated her image to get what she wanted but I also wonder if she was a happy person. I doubt it, from what I have read of her life it wasn't easy, just full of glitter, fake boobs and the facade of a glamorus life with emptyness behind it.

[mkemse]

amazingly enough, it appears not to be a drug ovr does but other things, my main concern is still for her baby, guess we wait for the toxicoloy report

[Hime]

I always felt sympathy for her because I think she dealt with some of the same issues that have haunted me -- insecurity and a profound and unreasonable need to be loved by everybody. She was a very beautiful woman and I hope that her daughter has a good life.

[Widget]

I think she must have had so much on her plate too though; her son had also just died while she was having her baby, she may have had some post partum depression and also the stresses from long term court battles and then the trim spa thingy.

I am not sad in the meaning of crying because she means something to me as a person that I felt I know, I feel somehow she was never able to be herself.

I always no matter how stupid and out there her actions were or her words or her manner of dress was, that there was this little child hiding behind this overblown sex symbol. She never seemed finished, like a cartoon. I saw some how this fragility in her and also saw how her life seemed to be this train wreck that could have no other possible ending.

Perhaps she might have actually appreciated ensuring she wouldn't fade away and grow old. She built everything around the eternal sex siren image and growing old must have been intolerable to her too. Better to burn out than fade away, her death ensures the conspiracy theorists and it already has started, the star watchers and gossip rags will keep her fame alive for a very long time. In the end maybe that would have made her some how validated in a way her life never did.

[mkemse]

despite the corner saying then need more test result back it does appear as sad as it is she died of natural causes which is even sadder for someone only 39, but she was a huge marilyn monroe fan and it was know apprently to those close to her, due to her obbesion with monroe that she also wanted to dye young, and interstingly she also wanted to be laid to rest next to monroe and Hugh Hefner bought that plot, so someone said, since hef and her were close friends with her as playmate of the year, maybe the plot he bought is to grant her her final wish and be laid to rest next to her idol

[cadence]

It is a sad thing for someone so young to pass away so suddenly.
I would attribute her death to the stress of her life in general.
I have not really heard anything thus far, as to how she died, but if it is due to natural causes, stress can start doing some pretty harsh things to your body, and mind and basically start shutting you down.
Her wieght loss, was so dramatically fast, I would wonder if that was a defining factor. I would assume that losing that much weight, in such a short period of time, would not be a healthy thing.
Top that off with a birth, a death, and constantly being in the spotlight, and not always in a positive way.
That I think would put enough stress on a person, to make their body work against them.

"the fish she lays a thousand eggs
the homely hen lays one.
but the fish she never crows to tell
the world of what she's done
so we despise the poor fish
while the homely hen we prize
which all goes to show us that
it pays to advertize!"

Sad to say but true.Millions of people dying on the streets everyday but we feel bad for a woman who came to publicity as a pornstar and then felt bad about being objectified...Feel bad for the kid though, as I would for any such..

[mkemse]

the only 2 reasons she receive the publicity she did after she dies was because in the United States this is what happens to celelbrities wen they die
and because she was a playboy center fold, true if it had been the averge "Joe" nothing would have been said, but that is the way it is with the Media in the USA
I feel worse for her newborn who at the least deserves to know who her father is then over the death tself

[TomOfSweden]

For sure she made her bed and manipulated her image to get what she wanted but I also wonder if she was a happy person. I doubt it, from what I have read of her life it wasn't easy, just full of glitter, fake boobs and the facade of a glamorus life with emptyness behind it.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. She lived the dream of a gazillion women in the world, so yeah. You keep telling yourself that is what made her unhappy.

I'm guessing her problem is what quite a few very beautiful women have. They get everything too easy so they get lazy, and once money stops flying into their mouth they don't have a clue how to look after themselves. Hardly reason to feel sorry for her. But I'm just guessing. I have no idea, none of us do. She might have had serious mental problems, she might actually have been happy. We'll never know. All we have been fed is the media image of her. We're all just guessing.

[mkemse]

Outside of a few peole in History, I hate to see anyone die, especialy at this young age, amazing what fame a fortune will do to a person
I feel saddr for her baby the for her, i feel sad she dies, but at 5 months old Dannielynn is intitled to know who her father realy is, this is to me is far more important that Ana's death, not to mention all the money at stake here
