I always felt kind of sorry for her. She didn’t seeming cunning, just kind of dumb and naive. Maybe not, but it seemed that way. She was like that girl that always tries to fit in with the popular group, but misses it, her clothes and stuff never quite matching up. She was just the epitome of the stereotype of “trailer trash”, but never seemed to get it, even though she tried. I just always saw her as someone people laughed \*at \* instead of with. And that seems sad. ---

[QUOTE=Fear Itself] Her husband, Howard K. Stern. [/QUOTE] They’re not actually married. The ceremony right after her son’s death wasn’t a legal marriage, but a “commitment ceremony.” **sigh** why do I know these things? ---

Sad and a little weird for me, as I went by her house a little over a month ago. ---

I posted this in the [other thread:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8240102#post8240102) Conspiracy theory!!! Larry Birkhead is the father of the baby but Howard K. Stern is listed as the father on the birth certificate. If the paternity tests show Birkhead is the father then Birkhead would be entitled to a chunk of Anna’s money if anything happened to her and her son, Daniel. Stern killed Anna’s son Daniel and now has killed Anna and thus would have to be the guardian of the child. This would make him the heir to Anna’s money! ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] This sounds like an episode of Law & Order… Old man marries a young woman Old man dies Old man’s son tries to keep young woman from getting old man’s money Young woman’s son dies Young woman dies Who ends up with the money? [/QUOTE] I thought the old man’s son was dead too, though. Sigh. I might as well admit to watching her show on occasion. What I’m thinking of right now is an episode in which a hick, I mean truly hick, cousin of hers came to the house to apologize for an interview she’d given in which it appeared that she was bashing Anna. The cousin insisted that she’d been given leading questions and quoted out of context, and I’m thinking, “Well, she wouldn’t have been the first person to be jerked around by a reporter, nor the last.” Anna must have thought the same thing, because she accepted the apology. Which I thought was cool, because clearly she didn’t think she was better than her roots. I never was able to bring myself to snark on her. I look on her the same way I did Elvis: How would any of us act and live if we had that kind of money? We’d like to think that we’d furnish our homes tastefully, live heathfully, and generally be sophisticated and discreet. But when you can do **whatever** you want, it often comes down to junk food, a great sound system, a sweet ride, shag carpeting…and drugs. ---

My coworker thinks that she committed suicide because paternity tests would reveal that her deceased son was actually the father of her daughter. …Sounds far-fetched to me, but good lord would I get a chuckle if it were true. I’d totally buy my coworker a beer. A whole case. ~Tasha ---
