[cameraman]

Waiting on the rest of the story...

[emjaya]

She only gave birth a couple of months ago.I feel for the kid, but not so sure about her.:shakehead

[KLang]

Trainwreck, but RIP anyway. :(

OD, Suicide, or ?

At least this will get the Astro-Nut story off the headlines for a day or two.

[SAdair]

My guess - OD

Saw the alleged father of the baby on Larry King, he states she did drugs while pregnant. Hope someone responsible has custody of the little girl.

Thanks for the mammaries!

this is the only situation since OJ that i care about outside of politics.

she married an old guy. goes to court to get money. wins, then losses, then wins. gives birth. her son mysteriously dies. she gets married to her lawyer who is probably not the father of her kid. then dies.

all during that she weighed between 100 and 5000lbs. i wish i was a bug on the wall.

they should have you do her Biography for the Biography channel. That is a great summary.

[TrueBrit]

Wow.....what a sad end to what appeared to be a very unhappy life...

I hope the new Bambino is well taken care of....

God, can you imagine having that train-wreck of a life, in public and maintaining your sanity? I can't...

Rest in peace.

between the barbaro saga and this, I love america :laugh:

[RaceGrrl]

...Just one more thing that "the next Marilyn" has in common with Marilyn Monroe.

Sad.

[KLang]

Pretty thorough bio Here (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,204979,00.html), missing the Playboy bit though. Pretty amazing life really. :\

[Sean O'Gorman]

With her and the twins gone, I guess death really does happen in threes.

[CShooter]

Thanks for the mammaries!
HA, that's perfect:thumbup: . That and the tabloid entertainment she provided for everyone.
Sorry, but she brought everything on herself. I feel for her family, for her daughter and for those that really loved her.
She had always been on something. If anyone disputes that they are blind. Just look at all her interviews>>>>high as a fricken kite.:shakehead
I am ashamed that she is from Texas. Not all of us Texas girls are like that.:D

And most men are weak when it comes to sluts and their ta ta's:D

[Dr. Corkski]

ranks right up there with barbaro.Did she die from sniffing glue?

[CShooter]

I am guessing it was something self inflicted. They say that even though the autopsy will be performed Fri, it will take two weeks for conclusive results. Bet they will come back sooner though.

[cameraman]

It is the toxicology screens that take the longest to run so anything drug related will probably take the full two weeks.

Good AP article:

What drew us to Anna Nicole

By JOCELYN NOVECK, AP National WriterThu Feb 8, 11:00 PM ET

Anybody who arrived from Mars and wanted to know what all the fuss was over this Anna Nicole Smith would do well to watch just one clip: her appearance at the 2004 American Music Awards.

Prancing onstage in a tight-fitting black gown that showcased her cleavage — which was, as all else about her, larger than life — she grabbed your attention. Her looks were outlandish, but there was beauty beneath the excess.

And then she spoke. "Like my body?" she asked, tracing her fingers over her breasts. Her slurred words spilled out dangerously. She was clearly very high on something, and you wondered if she would survive, literally.

It was hard to watch. And, of course, harder not to.

Scant hours after news emerged of her death Thursday at age 39, many people were hard pressed to describe what exactly Anna Nicole Smith was. Actress? Model? Reality star? Rich widow? "I don't know exactly what she did," said talk show host Joy Behar, hearing the news over the phone. And yet, trying to put her finger on why we watched this strange woman over the years, she came up with two things: Dysfunction. And beauty.

"No question, she was beautiful," said Behar, of ABC's "The View." "We know people like to watch dysfunction. But beauty gives you something extra to look at. Dysfunction and beauty: Now that's something to watch."

How was she dysfunctional? Really, how wasn't she? Her strange life seemed to veer from one outsized struggle to another. She struggled famously with her weight and with her family. She sometimes even struggled to speak without slurring. She had a TV show that could be so embarrassing you'd want to watch it with dark sunglasses on. Much more tragically, she lost her 20-year-old son. Five months ago she had a baby daughter and now two men claim to be the father.

In other words, she was a perfect pop culture icon. By contrast, another famous creature of Internet celebrity, the chic-er, more sophisticated and chillier Paris Hilton, has much less to fascinate us, grainy sex video notwithstanding. It's hard to feel sorry for her.

"With Anna Nicole, she was pathetic but at the same time you thought, 'Gosh, if I could just scoop you up and fix things, it would be OK,'" said Jerry Herron, a professor of American culture at Wayne State University. "You wouldn't want to scoop up Paris Hilton.'"

"Anna Nicole was," Herron noted, "in both her actions and her physical being, such an over-exaggerated version of what we both lust for and loathe in our society. Bombshell blonde? Family feuds? Lots and lots of money? Weight troubles? Obscene self-revelations on TV? She had it all."

The compelling mix of beauty and vulnerability is just one quality that has led to comparisons with Marilyn Monroe, another sexy, tragic blonde who Smith liked to compare herself to. The comparison is tempting, but the difference is monumental.

"Marilyn Monroe was an artist, a real performer, able to evoke in audiences a real empathy and a passion," said Richard Walter, a film professor at UCLA. "There is NO comparison." And yet he sees one strong point in common: the simple beginnings, the climb from total obscurity to fame.

"She came from humble origins and achieved celebrity and wealth, one way or another," Walter said. "And that is an American story."

For celebrity editor Janice Min of US Weekly, it's the element of perseverance that stands out in Smith's tale, which she sees as "almost this perverse Hollywood Horatio Alger story."

"She fought against so many obstacles — poverty. Teen pregnancy. A bad home life." And of course, ridicule. "But she persisted, where others would have shrunk away out of humiliation and shame."

It might have made her look pathetic. But it also made it exceedingly hard to look away.

I never noticed before, but she had rather small teeth.

What drew us to Anna Nicole


Nothing. Abso-f'n-lutely nothing.

[KLang]

Broward County ME says 3-5 weeks for test results. <sigh> Not surprising but I was hoping for a quicker resolution. Now we've got 3-5 weeks of speculation in the press to look forward to.

Oh, and Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband claims to be the baby's father now too. :laugh:

Hair takes the longest to analyze. Toxins like pot & arsenic will show up, but poisoning isn't likely her COD.

[Ziggy]

Did Mickey Mantle get his new liver? :cry:

[Joelski]

They dig a hole and bury it beside him?

[cameraman]

but poisoning isn't likely her COD.

Who knows, whomever gets custody of her baby will also get control of the huge pile of cash from the probate battle. Her only other child just died in a rather strange way so the baby would be the sole heir.

I have a feeling that the coroner is a pervert.

"Are you done with that autopsy yet???"

"Five more minutes!!!!"

I just ran the gamut of emotions reading this.

Reminds me of a really funny Sam Kinison bit.... :rofl:

[TKGAngel]

Looks like there's a 4th contender for father of Anna Nicole's baby. The NY Daily News is reporting that she may have used the frozen genetic material of her late, rich husband to father the baby.

This sounds like a bad movie: Three Men and a Turkey Baster.

[KLang]

Wow, this trainwreck just keeps on giving, even after her death.

Whoever assigns the judges to probate cases in Broward county must be having a big laugh. That judge was a riot. :rofl:

What's next?
