Remembering Anna Nicole
The news of Anna Nicole Smith's death is awful.
Without a hundred percent confirmation on the cause of death, I can only comment on the sadness of her life.
For years, I could hear nothing but laughter as she stumbled her way down red carpets or led cameras through her house, while she simulated sex acts on her bed or crawled fully clothed into her tub.
She constantly appeared incoherent and over medicated.
It was clear to me that she played the fool for public attention and that NOBODY was looking out for HER interests.
She reminds me of Chris Farley a little bit. Sadly addicted to chemicals AND peoples' attention.
I cannot stop thinking about Anna Nicole's baby, Dannielynn Hope. A child can't choose her parents, but the idea of a baby losing a parent is crushing. I grieve for that helpless baby.
As we speak, millions of media dollars are being spent on this catastrophe. It's shocking and newsworthy. It is a small consolation that Anna's child won't be witnessing it.
Maybe in a twist of fate, the "Hope" at the end of Little Dannielynn's name is that a loving, well-balanced adult will raise this baby
Very well put. The last interviews she did you could clearly see when she could barely keep her eyes open and slurring her words her time was coming to an end. Too bad someone couldn't have placed a much needed intervention on this lost soul. I feel for her baby. I'm sorry but I get a bad taste in my mouth with Anna's "partner" in life. I hope she ends up with a stable person to raise her and she sees the good in her mother not the joke she was made to be.

Will Rosie finally understand to watch her mouth and quit opening her mouth before she thinks. Anna Nicole could have been watching the view today and saw everything Rosie said about her. Those would have been some of the last things of her life. She owes everyone an apology.
I hope a national rush is put forth to oust that fat heifer (the big O) off the View.
She has caused nothing but trouble since getting that position. Her mouth is way big, such an over load on what was ONCE a good VIEW.
The show has now become a laughable, yet disgusting situation, due to her presence and big mouth. Noone can get a word in edgewise over her dominance.
I say boot her!! and put a more qualified responsible person in her place.
I had a friend kill himself and it was just days after someone taunted him about 'still being alive'.
I hope folks like that are haunted the rest of their lives. Who knows if Anna didn't take meds BECAUSE of what 'the heifer' said on the show.
How sad.
Prayers for the infant and may Anna and Daniel rest in peace. Momma warned you girl!
RIP Anna Nicole.
I don't understand why Rosie should "watch her mouth". How on earth was she supposed to know that Anna Nicole was going to lose her life? Her paternity battle was splashed all over the media - it is to be expected that she gave her "view". Should everyone that has said something negative about Anna Nicole watch their mouths?
On a more important note, Anna Nicole had a tragic life. I just pray for her daughter. I hope she ends up with someone that will love her and nurture her.
I am so sad about Anna Nicole Smith. I to lost my son to Methadone just as Anna Nicole Smith did. I can relate to what she was going through. When a child dies the loss sometimes is just to much. The drug Methadone has take thousands of lives and doctors continue to perscribe this deadly drug.
I pray for Anna's family that they will get through this tragity.

I am so saddned by the death of Anna NIcole Smith.. When I heard I couldn't help but cry for her and her precious baby girl.. I am sure that Rosie meant no offense she was just giving her view.. AFter all that is her job.. I love Rosie and loved Anna Nicole too.. thank you
I am so p------off .Rosie needs to stop burning so many bridges.I am so sick of her mouth I wont even watch The View anymore.I think she has issues of her own and if she babbles about others it makes her feel better...how sad for her
I never really cared for Anna Nicole Smith, but when her son died, I gained a little more respect for her and felt horrible that she would have to go through that pain publicly. I have never been in her position, so I don't know how I would handle everything that has happened in her life. Her death is a tragedy and I think brings an awareness to her life. Maybe someone should have stepped in and took claim over driving Anna Nicole toward a better, and healthier lifestyle. I hope we learn from this and will help others in similar situations. Though her choices were questionable her life was no less important. She was not an evil human beling. I pray for her and her family and that her daughter will hear abour her mother's legacy and learn from it and love her for it!
First of all may Anna be in Gods heaven.I was so shocked to hear of Anna's death,I heard it over the radio and as I heard it I just got this knot in throat and could not believe what I had just heard.My prayers go out to her baby girl and I think her mother should try and get custody of her grand baby,even though things were not good with her mother at least she will be with her mothers family and not with all of these strangers.I did not watch the view the day of Anna's death but I just saw a clip of what Rosie said and I agree with the other poster that she needs to keep her big mouth shut and be kicked off of the View c'mon Barbara
how could you have picked such a rude know it all.
Anna you will be missed a great deal, we will no longer be able to see your pretty face,but at least you get to be with your son in heaven looking down and protecting your baby girl.
R.I.p ANNA
U well be missed, i was shocked when my mom told me yesterday. I didnt belive it so i went online and check that it was true.i hope that the baby will be ok our pryers will go out for her
I was not an Anna Nicole fan, but all else aside she was a human being who has had a tragic life. As I watched my local news today, I must say that I was outraged by a comment made by Tony Potts in response to who may be the fater of Anna's baby. I could not believe my ears when I heard him say that this baby girl would probably be better off than she would have been with Anna. I know that there are people who do not deserve children, but this was an insensitive and inappropriate remark 1 day after this small child's mother died. Shame on you Tony Potts.
It is so sad, her death, a child left with no mother and deep down Anna Nicole only felt the one person who truly loved her was her son Daniel, her heart was to broken to repair. Listening to her biography it was sad because she was a lost soul who only wanted to be loved she had a dissapointing childhood filled with sadness and betrayal. I pray she is in peace and all her pain is gone. It is just a very sad story and the loss her daughter will face as she gets older not having her mom. Now we will see all the people who weren't around in her life be around know a little to late.
RIP Anna Nicole.
i feel so sorry for anna's daughter. she will never feel her mothers touch again. and thats a shame. anna was a beatiful woman, who spoke her mind and she was'nt fake. it's an awful tragety. rosie?? get a life. she's always picking on someone. whats her problem? and as far as anna's mother? what a loser to.the blob has been all over the news since her daughters death running her mouth to. damn lady. your not even greiving over your kid. you've done nothing but dog her. i think she's in it for money to. may god bless you anna.
Anna Nicoles life was tragic from beginning to end. I admired her strength and tenacity for the life that she made for her son as a single, young, divorced mother. She utilized her greatest asset (beauty) and went for what she knew. Sadly enough she was preyed upon and used by others for financial gain, she lacked the foundation that is usually laid during childhood to survive. Her deceased husband provided for her and Daniel in life as he will surely do for the daughter that Anna has left behind, and probably her grands as well. RIP Anna and Daniel
I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of responsibility the media has shown lately in respect to confirming information before "putting it out to the public". Speculation, ridicule, misrepresentation, disrespect, and humor in a humanbeing's death ... What is this world coming to ?
YOU ALL SHOULD BE SHAME LIKE SO MANY OF US HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OR WORST IN ARE LIFE.THE MEDIA WOULD'NT LIKE THIS MOTHER MOURN IN PEACE.THE MEDIA DOWN RIGHT DOGG THIS MOTHER NOE SHE'S GONE NOW THE MEDIA WANT TO BE NICE.WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?
SAD FOR THIS WORLD TO LOSE SUCH AN OUTSPOKEN YOUNG WOMAN. YOU WILL BE MISSED
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. SOMETHING YOU NEVER FOUND HERE ON EARTH.
>SAD YOUR OWN MOTHER TALKS DOWN ABOUT YOU . MAY SHE NEVER GET PEACE. SHE NEEDS PARENTING CLASSES. NO WOUNDER LEFT HOME AT A TENDER YOUNGER AGE. MAY U BE HAPPY & CONTENT IN THE HERE AFTER JENNY AKA CAROLINA GIRL
This is for Rosie mind your P& Q's you talk way to damn much. Go eat a BIG burger so you won't be running your BIG MOUTH all the time. JENNY DURHAM N C
Yeah Rosie should shut her big FAT mouth and appologize how much can a new mother take geez, potpartom depression and the grief of her son must have been so horrible and in case people forgot we do have a war going on and we should all finally let them RIP
I am so very sad and ashamed today. The world laughed at Anna Nicole not with her, and I was one of those people. We all laughed as she was dieing right before our eyes.
This sad, tragic , addicted soul was dieing before our eyes and we laughed at her.And now she's dead.
shame on Anna Nichol Smith's attorney Ron Rale for the undo stress he caused her.. he should have encouraged the DNA test! One cant help but wonder what Howard K Stern's part played in this double tragedy... she was used by all involved, Stern obviously didnt try to help her drug habit even though he knew she struggled with one! i feel he knows he is not the babys father and when that finally comes to light he will lose his big cha ching!
Reunited with her son in Heaven but a long road ahead for her daughter,it's just sad either way.
I am extremely disgusted with Ann's mother. She had nothing good to say about Anna when she was alive and continues to bad mouth now. Yet, she is more than willing to cash in on money on her daughters death. I hope Anna's daughter is protected from this evil, uncaring woman. It seems more than obvious why Anna was so needy for love and attention and possibly her drug use. Raised by an unloving mother, deserted by her father what else could one expect.Everyone no matter if they like Anna or not should boycott any program with this woman.
I also believe that Anna cared for her ex husband. He was far from senile when she married him, physically disabled but mentally sharp. I don't know that it was a romantic love as much as gratitude for his caring about her and her young son. People seem to forget one of her step sons supported her right to his fathers money.
Now about the fat mouthy cow Rosie O, that woman should be removed from The View. Barbara W was kind enough to give her a chance to revive her failing career yet she acts like she is queen of the world when she is pretty much nothing. Who is she to make tacky comments about others. She is a low talent has been. She shows her ignorance every time she opens her mouth. I can't stand Donald T nor Kelly but they are far better than Rosie O. Anna certainly was, she had the respect to not dish others to make herself look good. Wonder if Rosie ever noticed that Anna's TV show ran as long as the Rosie show and many more people were interested in Anna than they have ever been Rosie.
Once the DNA is done on Dannilynn the question of the father will be settled and that circus over. I just hope the real father actually loves this child and not just the money she will inherit.
My only son past away suddenly on July 17,2006..I know the pain that Anna Nicole had to endure. It's a pain that strikes deep in a persons heart and soul.. I believe sorrow can make a person want to die..
This is the url for The View, one can e-mail Barbara Walters.
She needs to know what others think of Rosie and her comments.
http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/
I agree 100% with susan. Anna's mother is a peice of garbage that needs to put to the curb. as far as howard stern goes. who's coat tail you gonna ride now? get a real job dude. your money train has left the station. Poor Anna . Let the women rest in peace.
I don't understand the Rosie bashing. Not my fave person either but come on! She didn;t bash Anna Nicole. I too was sick of the paternaty nonsence. I mean really if you have nothing to hide get the test done and make the media go away and get on with your life. Her actions were that of someone with a HUGE secret to hide. Rosie wasn;t rude at all! She was pointing out what should have been the obvious to everyone. She said the truth people ,there is a difference. Bad timeing yes but very true. She was sick of the media attention of the paternaty and any one with eyes could see the wonan was breaths away from dying. Clearly her last few interviews she was drunk or stoned. Rosie was pointing out how sad it was to see her like that. How about jumping all over the moron that let her do an interview looking like that or how about her supposed husband. Why not get her some help, clearly it was needed. Hollering at Rosie for this one is ill placed. She hit the nail perfectly. Lets stop placing blame or pointing at Rosie. She has a BIG mouth yes but this time I thought she was right. Noone really said boo after she made the comments, because they were true. Wasn't till she died the media blew it out of the water as usuall. Lets hope that paternaty tests can be done quickly the father take custody, take the baby far away from the glaring spotlight and give this innocent child a chance to grow up in a normal environment away from the hollywood glare and scruteny. Lets pray she doesn't become a sad tragic story many years from now.
The media has taken Rosie's comments out of context. She wasn't bashing ANS, she was bashing the media for covering her situation too much when there are so many other things going on in the world. Now the media is drooling because they have even more to cover with ANS.
i very sadden for anna nicole's little girl. she will be missed by all and anna nicole is a true hollywood legend!!!
I wonder if Anna Nicole's son is the father of Dannielynn. I feel very bad for what happened to Anna Nicole. She was definitely a lost soul, but it seemed as if the relationship between mom and son was alittle strange. Too close. You never know with her. I wouldn't put it past her having a sexual relationship with her son. She had soooo many male partners too and I bet even female partners.
claudia? that comment was uncalled for. i have a son and daughter and im very close to both my children. you have a sick mind. how bout that one?
I agree Pam. There is an innocent baby girl out there right now without a mother,there are people who love Anna Nicole and Daniel who are greiving. No one will EVER really know the truth about the whole thing...how about a little respect for the dead.....Claudia you obviously don't have children..
I would agree with most people that the real victim here is little Dannielynn. However I do feel that out of all the players in this saga, Anna Nicole's companion, Howard K.Stern, is the best person to raise the child. To vilify Stern just because money is involved is ludicrous. If we were to do that, then no one would hold up to proper scrutiny. And I absolutely detest Anna's family. It was common knowledge she hated her mother in life, so what gives this woman the right to now play the grieving mother. If anyone should be vilified it is these family members and "friends"who are now coming out of the woodwork, taking private jets and limos and going on Prime Time television to tell anyone who would listen how drugs did their kin in. The whole world already knew Ann Nicole had her demons. I have one question for Ann Nicole's mother; could you not let your daughter's body go in the ground before you started your publicity campaign? Utterly disgusting.
How many of these men would be stepping up to claim this baby as "theirs" if there was no money attached? It's shameful to see that even Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband would be "admitting to an affair" with Anna and that the baby may be his...how many of them were there for Nicole throughout her pregnancy? One....and now the entertainment t.v. shows are having a great time making Howard into "the murderer"... there has been no proof of murder- I don't remember the announcement that yes, Anna has been IN FACT murdered. Her autopsy showed nothing like that!
How many of you could lose a son, right after giving birth to a baby? How many of you would be inconsolable for not week, but months and months, perhaps longer if this happened to you. But Nicole was supposed to just get on with her life and smile for the cameras. She was a PERSON, she had feelings, and she most likely just gave up on wanting to live after the real love of her life, her son, had died so tragically. I'm sure she tried to hang in there for her baby daughter, but let's face it...she didn't get much time to really KNOW and bont with this new child in her life as she had grown to know and love Daniel. She lost part of her when he died, and actually needed some grief counseling and support. Instead she never had a moment of peace in her life.
The general public should have backed off, and let her grieve, and go through that process.
I'm really sick of having everyone blame Howard to the point of coming up with "murder" and his name in the same sentence. How would any of you feel right now if you had this identical thing happen to you. Would you appreciate the cameras, and the tv specials, and the accusations? She is a tragic loss, a Marilyn Monroe of our times, and I feel that this little baby that is now in the center of this new ordeal,shouldn't be used as a pawn in an adults game of greed. If Howard is her father, I hope he will see to it that she is raised in an environment where she feels that she is LOVED not because of money, but because of herself, period. If he isn't the father, then still, that child will need a stable, loving home where she feels secure....the men who are now suddenly coming forward to claim her as theirs should be ashamed of their actual underlying motivations in this. Say what you want about Howard, but he was there for Anna throughout her pregnancy and the actual delivery of the baby. That speaks highly of him....if he didnt care about her, he could have just hired someone to stay by Anna's side,couldnt he. Anyhow, I'm sick of how Access Hollywood is doing a spin on this in a real negative way....Entertainment Tonight isn't doing that. Nice to see what show takes the high road, and which takes the sensational version of things just for ratings. They are equal to the newspaper "rags" that you see when you are at the grocery store touting these sensationalized headlines just to sell papers....with a guilty until proven innocent mentality....hell, there hasn't been a crime here, in the first place, has there!
Want to point the finger at someone? How about Larry, for his continued and unrelenting pressure on Anna about that baby? He never gave her a break after Daniel died...he just has been relentless....
Let the woman rest.
I will change the channel whenever I see another clip or story about her.
Instead of being so pissed at RO maybe you should be mad at the people closest to her that let her go on tv completely incoherent. She obviously needed help but people seemed more interested in ratings and money. Two people closest to Howard K Stern are dead...is he really capable ot taking care of an infant.
Very sad, tragic. Many celebrities surround themselves with unstable, immorale and unethical individuals. It is obvious Anna was not in good health for quite a while, her confidants should have taken her to a medical facility a long time ago. Purchasing materialistic items was not a priority. Lets hope this does not turn into an OJ circus and the guilty run the show.
Howard could respect himself and Anna by submit to a paternity test.
Stop focusing on Anna's relationship with her mother and respet that she is the next to kin. The grandmother, who raised Daniel for 6 yrs. At any time Anna could have Married Howard for "REAL". she choose not too? I'm not close with my mother she's is my Kin!
If he cares about her child, why not stop this hateful selfish hurting for everyone involved?
He's only concern with her $$$$. He supplied drugs,demanded not to pay bills, continues to make a $ off her death. Keeps the world upset. He's a heartless....B...
If Howard cared so much for Anna why didnt he take her to the hospital or for that matter be there with her? Where was he? Buying a boat with her $$. Now 2 people are dead with in a 6 mo time period that he had close contact with. By the way whose Methdone was it? You have to have it prescribed by a Dr. Was it Howard's? The other medications that were in the refig were his? I'm sorry but I'm not buying his grieving BS, and if you notice he wasnt around for a couple of days after she died. Could he have been in the house in the Bahamas? Seems to me that only someone who knew where these important documents would have known how to get them? As for all the creeps that are coming out of the wood work to claim the baby, why werent they around when she needed help? I can understand what she must have been going though, she was a poor lonely soul, who was scared. A lot of people used her, & she vice a versa, but she had to fight for what she got. For the people who call her names, wasnt it Jesus that said "Let him be the 1st to cast a stone who has no sin. We all have done something that we arent proud of . Anna just had hers aired in public for the world to see. God will judge her. Rest in peace Anna & Daniel. I pray that the true father will step up and take care of this beautiful baby.
I appreciate AH's reporting of this story versus ET's salacious, scandalous "milking-the-hell-out-of-it" tabloid filth. But I am surprised Billy that no one at AH is asking more questions about how AN's so-called "nurse" allowed her to lie down and sleep with a 105 degree temperature (HS goes without saying). If brain damage starts to occur around 107 degress, then it's probably fair to say that at a sustained 105 degrees, a person is more prone to delirium, not to mention that they're more than likely suffering from a very serious infection. Was AN's nurse a "real" nurse, certified in CPR, etc., and if so, why did she allow AN in her delirious state to dictate whether or not she went to the hospital? It seems that this type of negligence by the "nurse," HS, and whoever else was present, raises legitimate questions about their motivations and potential culpability in AN's death.
It be the system again. Damn wacko lower court judgess in Florida. Mostly handing out justice with domestics but now he hit the big time. big man with the "body". orderin and showin his ass to everyone.
throw the bitch in theocean and let the sharks take pozzession of the body.
You know it is really sad when people can't look beyond one's beauty or the ugliness as we do so many times we pass judgement i thought after 9/11 americans got a grip on thier selves and reality would of sunk in she was one of us a american much like maryln monroe the sad part is those closest to her stood by and seeminly let her body follow her heart as I have never lost a child but I can only imagine the pain daily she was feeling , I lost my grandmother and this was hard for me and yet i strugle everyday to move forward without her, it is amazing how she could shine light in people's hearts yeah anna was anna and that she showed people but a tragedy as well not the life she lost as in herself but that people who claim to be so close to her really weren't all that close at all or they would of intervened and not left her side when she was crying out for help, and now fighting over her body instead of pulling together , yes i believe lagally it would on forseem law as being her mother getting her body but why not go beyond this and work together put aside give her mom maybe the only chance she has , anna is gone she is n't coming back so work together danny is the reason she was so in the way she was he was her life and i think she should be buried by her son not maybe in her hometown when her life was with her son , she was a grown woman and do the right thing i think her mother and mr stern should be ashamed of herself and the lawyers who are running that circus of a court and be forced to work together bury her next to her son because when you leave your mother and father and you have a family of your own this is your family whether you were close to anybody else her son was her family and i think yrs from now dannylynn should cry when she sees what everyone is doing to her mother! I know i don't have any connection to anna but I cried I pray people would do the right thing for me whan my time comes! Anna YOur candle is still burning!!!!
Anna I enjoyed your appearances because you were so charismatic, not to mention super glamorous. You will be missed and I hope everything works out for your baby daughter. Those of us who saw you in your show know that you loved Howard and that you would want him to take care of your baby. REST IN PEACE ANNA AND DANIEL SMITH.
I think Billy got it right. At the root of this whole story is the fact that Anna Nicole Smith lived a very sad, tragic life and she didn't deserve it. She had a lot to live for and she was taken way too soon. But what is sadder is that little girl is in the middle of a horrible fight. I just hope and pray that this little girl is raised by good people and she has a long, happy, fulfilled life. God bless you Dannielynn
I'm sad about the passing of Anna, and very sorry about the loss of her dear son. That must have been too much for her to handle,sober, or maybe not, but I still can understand her pain. The loss of a child can do damage to your soul, and in some people, it can't be dealt with at all. No matter what she died from, I truly believe she died from a broken heart. May she rest in peace, with her son, Daniel. Two lost souls finally given peace, at last.
All I can say is this...the Baby is the one I'm praying for; she lost her Mom
& that's the real tragedy going forward
here, not what Anna Nicole Medicated her Butt with...she's gone now; the issue of paternity needs to (and should have been dealt with while Anna was alive, frankly) be resolved....As far as
Anna goes, her death is just getting way too much press, especially for a
C-list celebrity...I mean really...Our Soldiers are still getting picked off one by one in Bush's War, quite a few hundred Katrina victims are still homeless( remember them?), and the Foreclosure rate is at an all time high
across America-Real people are losing their homes due to this Jacked up economy, yet the media picks up Anna
Nicole Smith's O.D. story Again!!? Enough is enough....Not to be mean, but somebody tell me what did ANS do ? Really? What is her Legacy? James Brown's death deserved a Hell of a lot more press & air time than ANS...he had more Adversity ( Hard Times) in his life than ANS ever had to face, and man, what a rich Musical legacy he left us.....ANS, R.I.P.
Why is there such a big buzz about Anna Nicole Smith and her death? Yes, it is sad that someone died but if you are gonna spend so much time on her life and death, then the same amount of time should be on other celebrities deaths. When Gerald Levert died, I think there was about 2 stories done about him. When James Brown died, a man who has been entertaining over 50 years, he barely got any news time! There are soldiers being killed almost everyday in Iraq and their stories need to be heard too. All I have to say is show everyone the SAME respect.
IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THAT THE WORLD LOOKS AT ALL OF ANNAS CHOICES AS BAD CHOICES IN LIFE WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
OUT OF ANNAS LIFE CAME GOOD SHE HAS LEFT A BEAUTIFUL CHILD WHO WILL GIVE TO THE WORLD.
MAYBE WE DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF ANNAS CHOICES BUT THE ONE THING I CAN SAY IS ANNA WAS A LADY WHO HAD ALOT OF LOSE IN HER LIFE.
THESE LOSES WHERE MADE PUBLIC AND SHE COULD NOT WALK HER JOURNEY ALONE.
THE POINT I AM MAKING IS LEAVE HER DAUGHTER ALONE AND MAYBE SHE WILL NOT HAVE TO FEEL BAD ABOUT ALL THAT HER MOTHER DID.
THIS LITTLE GIRL IS AN ANGEL FOR HEAVEN, TREAT HER LIKE ONE, DO NOT ADD TO THE PAIN SHE WILL FEEL IN HER LIFE BECAUSE OF THE LOSE OF HER MOTHER AND BROTHER.
LOVE THIS CHILD AND LET HER BE WHO SHE NEEDS TO BE....
I THINK IT IS REALLY A SHAME THAT LARRY HAS TO WAIT SO LONG TO TAKE HIS DAUGHTER , TO SEE HER GRAND PARENTS , SORRT LARRY I'LL PRAY FOR YOU,VERGIE NEEDS TO LOOK WHAT SHE DID TO ANNA AND GO HOME, DANNYLYNNWILL BE GROWN BEFORE THE ESTAYE IS SETTELED SO YOU DON'T GET ANY VERGIE
Ron Rale "represented" me in my custody case. After billing me for substantial $$$ and doing nothing, I had to retain a new attorney and start my case AGAIN. He failed me in so many ways. He neglected to file some docs causing my case to be dismissed. I had signed the docs and faxed them to him. He failed to file them and failed to show up in court.
