Anna Nicole Smith reportedly collapsed, possibly dead

Typical tabloid fodder, publicity stunt, or actually dead? Time will tell…

Fox News is reporting that she’s dead.

How about actually dead.

Wonder who had her in the Death Pool?

If true, it’s not shocking.

Good point. Changed.

CNN com says she’s dead

Lots of people did. But not me.

Why do I keep thinking the words “addition by subtraction?”

The few times we’d seen her on TV lately, she just seemed completely out of it, her speech bordering on incoherent. What a mess her life became.

Her poor little baby.

:eek: Holy crap!

Does this mean her face will be on the death list at the oscars?

Holy cow- that’s fast.

Like it was ever going to be a happy ending to this sad and weird tale but still… I feel for her family and her new born.

I agree. I would be surprised, looking at her recent interviews and from her dramatic weight loss, if she wasn’t a drug addict.

Ha ha! Hilarious Wiki-vandalism:

So who thinks the husband who ostensibly isn’t the actual father of the daughter is miraculously going to inherit?

Oh the movies and books…

Poor thing was a mess.

Shocking - yet not.

She reminded me a lot of Elvis - uneducated, unable to cope & surrounded by people who didn’t care as long as the free ride continued.

“Back in the day”, she was arguably one of the most beautiful Playmates ever - http://cache.wonkette.com/politics/anna%20nicole%20smith.jpg (lingerie picture - no nudity).

By all accounts she was a devoted and doting mother to her son Daniel; he was a remarkably normal and charming young man who adored his mother.
She did the best she could with what she had. It’s easy to make fun of her, but I wonder how well any of us could have coped under those limiting (education, etc) choices. The death of her son must have been a horror for her.
It will be interesting to see which of the men posturing as the father of her daughter really steps up to the plate now.

A very complicated life - I hope she’s a peace.

VCNJ~

This is so sad…the whole thing is tragic. When I saw her on TV after her son died, I had a gut feeling she’d never get past it. Between the drugs, the dieting, a recent birth, pneumonia, grief, and all the stress of the lawsuits, it’s no wonder.

Now who gets her 90-years old ex-husbands millions?

When I first heard this I was surprised, then a second or two later I realized it’s not that surprising. For a long time she has struck me as someone who would die relatively young. When her son died I figured she might follow but I thought maybe the new baby would keep her going. I hope things work out better for the baby.

Then my third thought was “who had her in the death pool?”.

That’s the first thing I thought of…and it brought tears to my eyes. That poor child. :frowning:
