Maybe they had non-refundable tickets on the plane to Florida.

What’s with the “that poor baby” comments.

It’s probably the best thing that could have happened to that child. It’s fortunate that it didn’t happen after she’d formed more of an attachment.

Agree with \*\*Trunk \*\* on the “poor baby” comments- at that age, your memory of a person disappears the minute they walk out of the room, and since everyone agrees ANS was no Mother of the Year candidate…

One news story said a paramedic-type person worked on her for an hour with pulmonary recusitation.

Why do I get the image of some pervert massaging her ample chest for far too long? :eek:

**Tucker** , YTIMAIWTSTYN.I always suspected there was more going on here.

I agree that the rich old coot could spend his money any way he wanted and if ANS was willing to get into his Depends, then she deserves every penny and should not be called a gold digger. I haven’t heard Stern called a gold digger (mooch and leech, but not gold digger).

That’s because men aren’t called golddiggers, they’re either called a mooch, leech or KFed.

Talk to me, Detective.

```
                                                   DET. TRIPP

Victim is Anna Nicole Smith. Former centerfold model and reality TV star, now pretty much a professional celebrity. Her assistant found her like this, attempted CPR, but it was too late. C.O.D. appears to be natural causes.

```
                                                     LT. CAINE

But you don’t believe that, do you, Frank?

```
                                                    DET. TRIPP

```

Well, with all her legal problems, it does seen kinda convenient.

You know, this would have made a hell of a storyline for her reality show.

```

…that _her_ reality…

[QUOTE=Kalhoun]  
In recent weeks (maybe months…since Daniel’s death), Howard found her face down in the pool. He pulled her out and screamed for help and the body guard (also trained in CPR) pumped her back to life. It’s on the Anna Nicole’s Last Interview heading (a video report) [http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/](http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/).  
[/QUOTE]

Ah . . . Now I’m definitely leaning more toward the PPD suicide theory. What may have happened to her is very similar to what happened to my aunt.

**want2know** , if you really want to do that, as an homage to Mrs. Smith’s acting career, it should have be Lt. Frank Drebin and Norbert. Unfortunately, I’m not witty enough at the moment to do it justice.

And now just for a bit more oddity, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, claims he might be Dannie Lynn’s daddy. [Cite](http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D8N6CAB00.html)

No, but this little girl will have NO mother. Who knows where she will end up? The battle for her custody will be in the courts for months, if not years. I’m assuming HKS has custody for now since he was ANS’s husband. But if the child is 2 years old by the time people are done fighting over her and she ends up with someone else, she’s going to be very confused and upset, I would imagine.

I’m more sensitive to this stuff since becoming a mother. Before, my first thought would have been “I wonder how many people had her in the Death Pool?” instead of my second thought.

Not hate, just strong suspicion. Two _young_ people have died. Each in the presence of Howard K. Stern. Each standing between Stern and full access to the money. It’s a thing that makes you go “Hmmm.”

And died in the right order.

Well, there’s the Rosicrucian connection, **Tuckerfan**. Of course, I never win at “Who’s Not a Freemason?”

Prince and peasant girl is something of a tradition for greatness. “Princess Dannielynn” I find it somehow lacking. Like Vickie Lynn, or Norma Jean.

Right now on CNN’s front page is a picture of medical examiner Joshua Perper giving a press briefing about the preliminary autopsy results.

He’s the guy who gave me my entrance physical for the Navy back in 1983 at the Pittsburgh MEPS.

The same hands that touched my groin have touched Anna Nicole’s boobies!!!

Ain’t gonna happen. He has an alibi. By the internal logic of what we know so far, Richard Simmons had to have been busy tending to the “needs” of Zsa Zsa Gabor…at the boat show.
