RIP Anna Nicole Smith

[Another Janice!]

Geez..I thanked Shimmer a record 4 times in this thread!

Yes, it is sad that she is dead. But the way I look at it, what did she contribute to the world when she was here? She was a lusty, sensational media hound with very little shame. Even in her death, there is the argument over who is really the father of her baby. What is the saddest to me is that she had such great opportunities to make better choices with her life and influence so many people, particularly young girls with body image insecurities.

All of which has been said (mostly by Shimmer), but I wanted to put it into my own words. *wink*

I'm pretty sure that picture is fake because there is another one being shown along with that one stated as "her last pictures" and she is wearing two different tops

.She is always surrounded by her security, I doubt she would be left fallen with no one around like that, and if the collapse was that bad she would have have been rushed to the hospital then, but she died & was found in her hotel room. :whattha:

I sort of feel bad for Howard K. Stern... think about it this way:

He's been by her side for years (as well as Daniel's and now all of Dannielynn's life). He's just lost:

His best client (for years)

Probably his best friend (they appeared to be pretty much inseparable)

His "son" (per say)

His "wife" (again, per say) - or at least companion

and now possibly his "daughter" if the paternity comes back with someone else's dna

​

I mean seriously, everything he's known for years is GONE. Regardless of what people think in the matter of Anna Nicole, the baby will be well-taken care of no matter WHO the father may be... and Howard (again) will have even more issues because his marriage to Anna Nicole in the Bahamas was not considered legal.

Now - although I find this somewhat unbelievable seeing her actions in the past few years, but the initial findings said there were no drugs (legal or illegal) in her stomach - but that doesn't mean the toxicology will not change. The nurse that called 911 said she thought she may have choked on vomit.

Who knows about her actual death at this point, but those who hate her just for being a ditzy blonde will chastise her for as long as that poor baby is around - and that baby will not even know her own mother as a result, just the "theories" and drama surrounding her life and now death - and she will DEFINITELY be in the spotlight for the rest of her life as a result of this, whereas Howard will just be an emotional wreck.

I feel bad for the man. I'm truly confused and in a bit of shock over someone that I really before could have cared less about, but the whole thing surrounding all of the horrid things that have happened in the past year both to Anna Nicole and to Howard will probably end both of their lives tragically, and not just her own and Daniel's.

Put the whole thing to rest and honor the dead. You wouldn't want your grave trampled on with theories and badmouthing, no matter what you did, would you?

I honestly don't care what she's done in the past. I'm not a fan of hers. But I do know that she had a rough past. I feel sad for her on that. She had so much money but she was never truely happy. In a way she was like Marilyn Monroe. By no means an icon like Marilyn. But they had a lot of similarities. One being is: they both wanted fame, wealth, both were not the most talented people in the world.

But what gets me the most on this is that a human being died. It's not about right now the money, etc it's about the fact that a human being is now dead.

It's sad that the news is going on an on about something that happens to people everyday. Maybe in a way she is a reminder to all of us what life is really about. It's not about wealth etc it's about what you leave behind-the legacy.

*shrugs* who knows.

 

[GalleyGirl]

She's so comparable to Marilyn I think because despite the fact that both were undeniably beautiful and wealthy, they seemed highly insecure and desperate for love.

That's one point I have to disagree with you on

Marilyn actually WAS a talented actress...She *did* have some rough edges at the onset of her career, but if you take a good look at her major motion pictures, (ie: Seven Year Itch, How To Marry A Millionaire, Some Like It Hot), she really did have something. She was especially talented at comedy, and before her death she wanted to 'branch out' to do some more serious roles so the public could see what she could really do. Her "breathy little girl" ways made some people not take her acting abilities seriously, but I think she really did have a gift

 

[Beauty Mark]

Marilyn Monroe was also smart and IMO, humorous in a clever, owning it way with her quotes. Their backgrounds, though, are quite similar.

The more I hear about her child, the more I start wishing the poor kid would just be anonymously adopted. I'm not sure what Anna Nicole's mother is like, but all three of the men claiming paternity give me a bad vibe and I think that the baby would have a bad childhood.

 

[Hawkeye]

Yeah we're just all going to have to disagree on this. From the movies I've seen with Marilyn in them the acting was pretty lousy. That's just me though.

i just feel sad for baby.....
ANS' mother and sister are not kind of people I would want to raise my daughter.. They just want money.. so sad.

 

[Shimmer]

Uh.
Anna Nicole Smith wasn't exactly a poster child for Mother of the Year.

Given her very public and vocal estrangement from her family, I would assume that she left explicit instructions that her child not be given to her family in the event of her death. I know that is the case with my husband and I. We have specific instructions that under NO circumstances are his mother and stepfather to ever get near my children. Considering how many lawyers ANS had in her life, I would think someone would have helped her put her thoughts on her child's future into a legally enforceable form.

I think that is probably a moot point anyway because one of these many man may be the baby's father, in which case, in most circumstances, legal custody would be awarded to him.

Clearly the woman wasn't a saint or a candidate for the nobel prize, but I don't think she deserves to be bashed in death.

What's different today than two weeks ago, other than she's dead?

I believe the judge is ordering a DNA test for paternity.

 

[Shimmer]

That's about it.

She's still leaving a legacy of drug abuse, cheap porn, gold diggery, promiscuity, and poor decision making.
If she were alive this thread would be going on and on about what a piece of trash she is, now that she's dead, it's "tragic" and "sad" and "awful that the babygirl doesn't have a momma".

When she was alive, the majority of us here would have (and probably rightly) suggested that the child be removed from her care and custody because she is unfit.

Eh... Thats a bit on the harsh side. She seemed pretty low key since having her baby.

 

[Shimmer]

Really?
I mean, her nanny signing a sworn affadavit regarding ANS's demands that the child be underfed in order to be "sexy" back in December (iirc) seem to indicate otherwise.
