> [@Eats\_Crayons](#): > > There are links to video at [iFilm](http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2655657?ifilmp=99). It’s at the top where it says “See Anna Nicole drunk.” Her rep said she has poor eyesight and simply couldn’t read the teleprompter, hence the appearance of slurred speech. :dubious: Uhhhh…yeah. Poor eyesight, yeah that’s the ticket! And didn’t I also hear that her publicist’s excuse for having to be carried by two security guards backstage was that she was tired from exercising or some such horseshit? I’ll see your :dubious: and raise you a 😕 and a :wally 😉 ---

I’d like to hear the backpedaling about her commentary beforehand, some of which I heard on the radio this morning. She was slurring it up with some other person outside before the show, saying how she’d prefer to just stay out there “withhhh all my faaannnsssh.” ---

Hrm. I heard on the news it was all a set-up and she was acting. That she was pretending to be drunk and that she seemed totally coherent and fine after the show. Yeah. Right. ---

Mm hm. Totally coherent and fine. > [@](#): > > Weirdest performance by a presenter: Anna Nicole Smith is assisted backstage after posing for photos at the 32nd annual American Music Awards in Los Angeles.

She looks, um, very content with the world. ---

At least she’s a HAPPY drunk. Nothin’ worse than the weepers. ---

Ya know, when you start off with just a few brain cells and then you kill off lots with drugs and alcohol, it doesn’t leave many to work with. So she may not have been high at the time but she probably doesn’t need to be anymore. Re: Poor eyesight. All that money and she can’t afford Lasik or contact lenses? Re: She was acting. I once caught part of one of her movies on cable. She cannot act, her sole talent was taking her shirt off. There’s no way should could have been _acting_ drunk if she convinced anyone that she was drunk. I saw a brief interview with her on one of the entertainment shows. She was explaining why she posed nude (yet again). She did that so she could show everyone that she hasn’t had plastic surgery (i.e. liposuction) because she has no scars. She was slurring and confused sounding during that brief interview. ---

> [@D-bear](#): > > According to a local radio morning show Anna Nicole Smith (our original American train wreck) made quite an impression on last nights American Music Awards. Oh, **that** AMA. I was wondering why she was speaking out about the American Medical Association. (Praising the plastic surgeons for her boobs, maybe?) ---

_That_ is no act. The woman is fitshaced on something, or, by the look and sound of it, a nice little coctail of somethings. Ripping her top open would have been a nice way to put the icing on the cake, so to speak, but, alas, I don’t think she’s going to have another opportunity before the nice young men from Betty Ford cart her off. After that, my guess is it’ll be back to the fat farm. ---

Embarrassing to watch. > [@Eats\_Crayons](#): > > Her rep said she has poor eyesight and simply couldn’t read the teleprompter, hence the appearance of slurred speech. :dubious: You know, that just makes it worse. I mean, it was crystal clear that she was drunk or high or both. Trying to pretend otherwise just adds to the humiliation. Like that singer on SNL a few weeks ago who was caught lip-synching and blamed it on her band before claiming her voice was damaged by acid reflux. ---
