I was in a restaurant yesterday, and the TV (muted) was on CNN. I think there was some footage of ANS (not sure, since I couldn’t here, and a lot of these Hollywood blonde chicks look alike), but I don’t know what it was about. Is she in some kind of legal trouble. They didn’t do much on it–a minute or so–then went to the next entertainment story, something about Clint Eastwood.
L.A., Sept. 27 — A federal bankruptcy judge awarded former Playboy Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith $449.7 million today in her claim to the estate of her late billionaire husband, Texas oilman J. Howard Marshall.
And I say, bully for her! The good old-fashioned career of golddigging has been saved! I mean, why else should a girl go to the trouble of marrying ancient billionaires if you can’t even inherit their fortunes?
Alright, girls: get out that peroxide, practice flashing a shapely ankle, and stand in front of the mirror saying, “oh, but I’m not that kind of a girl!” while blushing prettily.
I don’t think that she is in legal trouble, but I’m pretty sure that her court case is winding up – A decision on whether or not she gets the money from her rich old geezer husband who died a year or two again. His family was suing to try to make sure she didnt get it.
D’oh!
Eve beat me to it, and with a better post.
Don’t forget, also, when you practice in your skin-tight black dress, to remember that the little hat with the dramatic netting over the face is a crucial part of the whole look. But you’ll need to practice enunciating, “I can’t believe he’s gone. He had so much life, so much to give. And now he’s been taken from me.”
I don’t think she should get the money. The old geezer changed his will so that she and one of his sons were left out, with everything going to the second son. It was the 2 who got stiffed that were suing for the money.
A boob job will help your golddigging career as well.
I’m with Eve on that. If some old barge wants to pick up a trophy wife, he’d better be willing to cough up for it. It would appear as if the will was changed after it was signed.
Here’s some articles:

But please, ladies, do the dear departed a favor and make sure you loudly and repeatedly proclaim, “He was a tiger between the sheets!”
Half a billion! Jeez, was there ever a better-paid hooker (um, I mean wife) in history?
hee hee - I went as Anna Nicole Smith one Halloween, with my friend Joey as “the old guy.” Fun costume.
If I were the judge in that case, I would have made ANS’s award contingent on her ability to answer the following questions correctly:
- What color were your husband’s eyes?
- What was his birthday?
- Was he left-handed or right-handed?
That gold digger should never receive a dime from Marshall’s estate. If she wants money, she can go back to posing nude for Playboy.
So, let me get this straight, should I or should I not go into the field? More money or less than my present plan of Chem Eng?
A girl has to think about these things you know.
(I do look stunning in black though)
Medea – Tough call. I’m sure your current career path will require much hard work and dedication on your part, with a comfortable living as the end result of your labors. To take the goldigging route is more of a crapshoot. You know–high risk, high reward. In the case of ANS, the reward was very high, but look at the risk: climbing into the sack every night with someone who makes Montgomery Burns look like a spring chicken.
EVE –
Except that, in this case, it was pretty clear she was exactly that kind of girl. She met the guy when she was stripping – oh, sorry, exotic dancing – in a club and he went to watch her. When he started, ah, “courting” her, he also had a wife and established mistress, both of whom had the courtesy to die to make way for our intrepid little heroine. (The mistress died from complications from plastic surgery, I believe.)
But I agree – more power to her. His two sons appear to be greedy bastards themselves, and she at least was good to the old man in the twilight of his life. And she has once again confirmed that while playing the Scarlet Woman has its pitfalls, sometimes it pays very well. I hope she buys some tastless rococco gold-leaf-and-red-velvet mansion and lives it up.
OMG, $500 million for blowing Methuselah? I am definetly in the wrong business…
And BTW, hubby said that for that kind of jack, he might even do it! 
Medea - photos! We need photos!
