Not sure if I replied to the right thread lol!

It was methadone and antidepressants, the same thing that killed her son.

Can't say i'm shocked or particularly sad.
I cant find where it says that it was methadone and antidepressants that killed her on that link. It only says that about her son.

Grrr... this is what happens when I follow a link to a link to a link.
I lost it. It said something about how she'd been on antidepressants since her son's death and had access to methadone or some crap.

If I find it i'll post it, still looking.

That's so horrible. I just came here to post a new thread about it but I see I've been beaten to it. I loved her - especially her TV show. :'(

Oh - here's the link to the piece shown on yahoo.com - it talks about her son and his drug use:

I am quite shocked but... it's weird... just the other day I commented that she looked unhealthy. Her face looked very drawn.

I was so shocked! I was eating and saw it on tv all of a sudden and forgot I had food in my mouth!! Anyway....that's so weird. Just last night, I had just made the comment to my cousin that everything has been going soooo wrong for anna nicole. How sad.

Didn't she have plastic surgery recently? Maybe some sort of systemic infection that killed her? Staph? It'd
explain the high fever thing.

Who the fuck is Perez Hilton?

The speculation of murder is pretty creepy.

I saw her on Jay Leno about two years ago after she lost all that weight. She was either dumb as hell, out of it on drugs, acting like it, or some combination thereof. But she didn't seem to have any spite, arrogance, or nastiness in her--which is more than we can say for most other celebrities.

She never did a thing for me appearance-wise, and I wasn't impressed with what I heard about her marrying the living, filthy rich fossil--or her behavior towards him immediately after the wedding. But that was a long time ago.

How sad for the little baby.

Her son's death WAS suspicious and her S.O. Mr Stern was allegedly present.

Smith was reportedly running a fever last night- possible she O.D.'d on Trim Spa
or coke or meth or ........ ???? Who knows. There's supposed to be a press conference tomorrow at 9:30 A.M. when the autopsy results will be released.

Perez runs a celeb gossip site.

She was always fucked up whenever I saw her on TV and supposedly she drank during her pregnancy.

I was never really a fan of hers, but it is sad, mainly because she leaves an infant daughter behind. And I thought she was absolutely gorgeous back in her Playboy Playmate days and Guess? jeans days.

Sure, she had her problems, but don't we all? RIP Anna. :rip:

I was not a fan either, but my heart breaks for any baby who has to grow up without a mother. This news was very shocking and sad. I hope if anyone was behind it, they get ass raped for the next millenium.

Driving home from work I heard this.
I can say that I am sad that she is dead.
But not at all surprised.

she died in Hollywood fla, I lived there...the town will kill ya lol.
Seriously speaking, it's a damn shame she's dead but at least now she's in peace.

Her daughter is going to be rich boy.

Im betting drugs... didnt she have a huge drug problem?

Its sad she left her little girl behind though :(

Off and on for over 10 years. She checked into Betty Ford in 1994. I found out about an hour after it happened.

She had a place in San Francisco. Back in '99 to early 2002, I managed a DVD rental chain. She lived up the street from one of my stores. She popped in a couple of times. Once she made out w/ one of my ex employees. I didn't see it happen. Later on, she would just send her assistant.

She was a good customer and had decent taste in film.

Really interesting audio file; an interview with the fire/rescue unit (Hollywood Fire Rescue) that responded.

I'm shocked yet I'm not sad. Unlike someone like Steve Irwin, she has only left her daughter behind and nothing really 'lasting' as such if you will yet she didn't really contribute anything of value to society etc that will last beyond her death for many many generations to come except her baby daughter.

So my sympathy to the baby daughter and her mother etc however I personally am not saddened by this .... death happens... it doesn't always give you notice.

I'm shocked. I've never met her, but I work with several people that used to work with her in houston. I feel for that lil girl.

This news came as a surprise to me. I do feel bad for her daughter.

She had supposedly collapsed in her hotel room. Someone said that she had been complaining of flu-like symptoms and had been feeling woozy for a few days before the collapse. Her autopsy is supposed to be performed tomorrow.

I wouldn't go so far as to say she didn't contribute anything to society, or compare her to someone like Steve Irwin. That's like saying janitors or strippers or air conditioner repairmen don't contribute to society.

She was definitely fucked up, no question. But by most accounts she adored her son and was a really devoted mother and he also loved her very much.

I thought it was sad and sordid enough when her son died. Now even though she's dead, this saga is just going to contunue with the paternity and estate issues.

In some ways I was definitely shocked, in some I wasn't.

And I think that shady fuck lawyer/boyfriend/"husband" of hers was involved.

I have to agree with Nina on this. I think she did contribute, back in the day, an image that promote the fact that thicker, curvier women were indeed beautiful.

Before Anna came along, Kate Moss and Christy Turlington among other skinny model types were like the "It Girls". Even actresses that were considered hot were weed thin: Juliette Lewis, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan...to name a few.

In the ninties, I worked in a club in the Siicon Valley and made the mistake of becoming engaged to one of the owners. He had a system in which he would watch the all the dancers weight, looks, et and each month would rate them on a 1-10 scale. The bottom three were always given warnings. More than one dancer was fired for gaining weight. NONE of these girls were obese or flabby!! A stupid 10 lb weight gain was usually the reason a girl would get fired.

Fast forward to now: I don't think women are under as much pressure to be "model thin" these days, unless of course they are models. I feel that Anna was one of the first to promote a healthy body image.

It's just tragic that she wasn't totally healthy.

I will agree that I think it's Howard stern ( her lawyer ) that did this. I swear to god. Watch just watch and see..

After watching Entertainment Tonight...tonight I was even more bothered by her death.

From the interview with Mark she was so excited to be moving into a new home undergoing renovations because she was going to get away from the constant attention she was under in her last residence. She was taken by the thoughts of her daughter learning to crawl/walk in the new home.

She also said that the new home was going to be a new start for her...another chapter in her life that she hoped would be free of the stress.

It just makes things more tragic when a person decides to start over or make changes in thier lives for the better and in that moment they pass away.

I had that happen to a relative of mine...finally got clean and sober and was going to make something of himself and he died suddenly...it makes me wonder about the whole Karma thing.:(

You're dead on! It was revolutionary to pick her as a Playmate of the year and GUESS girl. She got a bunch of flack like Tyra is now but she just didn't give a fuck! That's what I loved about her! She just went for it!! I just wish she'd dropped that lawyer a loooong time ago. If he was her friend he wouldn't have enabled her drug use among other things.

The whole thing is tragic. Maybe Stern didn't murder her, but he sure as hell didn't protect her best interest either. I always had a soft spot for Anna Nicole. Yeah she was a mess. For a poor girl from Mexia, I think she had a pretty damn good run. I feel bad for her little girl.

I'm surprised by the fact that I'm so saddened by this, considering the fact that I didn't know her. I was a fan of her show, and was amused by her crazy/drunken antics. Now that she's passed, I see her a more than just an amusing character. She was just a human and fallible as the rest of us. It makes me sad to know that her daughter is going to grow up without a mother.

rich boy???? what?!?!?!? but ya this is very sad because there is now a baby with no mother, and really no father at the moment either

02-08-2007, 11:26 PM
I was just thinking... the daughter is only going to see anna as a drunken, drugged out slob, or some sexed up playboy chick, she's neevr going to know what her mom was really like, and god knows the media didn't make her look like the best person.

Just to say Anna's death is front page news with all the tabloid { ie low brow}press here in the UK. I think it's because it gives them the excuse to print lots of photos but it does show how famous she was.

Sources tell CBS 2's Scott Weinberger that investigators found illegal narcotics as well as prescription medications in Anna Nicole's Florida hotel room.

If drugs were the reason, her death is far from tragic. It's just plain stupidity. I have no sympathy for anyone who is going to be so fucking irresponsible when she has a little baby to care for. Fuck that. She knew better.

Sirona
02-09-2007, 07:27 AM
She's had a running problem with drugs and alcohol for years. Anyone remember the Anna Nicole show? You'd always see her all fucked up with her poor son there to see it all...

You know what though? It's entirely possible she could have just had the mentality of "I just need to do something to get through this (my son's death) and kill this pain."

Not excusing the drug use, but I'd imagine the agony of losing a child would be the worst kind of loss imaginable. It was documented she'd had drug problems in the past, and her son's death would have been a prime relapse-inducing event. Some people are just more sensitive than others and feel things more intensely. As other threads about anti-depressants have shown, the hardest part is waiting for them to kick in if you're in crisis, and even then they don't obliterate all feeling, which a lot of narcotics (especially opiates) CAN do.

Again, I'm not excusing it if it was illegal narcotics, but I can sympathize with what might have been her mindset if that was the case.

Normally i'd agree but she was riding the drug express long before she lost her son.

I'm not belittling her pain (in regard to the loss of her son), just saying...

I've held off commenting on Anna Nicole in the hopes that more facts would emerge. But after today's NY Post spread, it's pretty clear in regard to the direction that this situation is headed.

In a nutshell, Anna Nicole Smith was the 'poster girl' of sterotype stripper success stories. As the media would tell it, Anna Nicole was the reasonably attractive trailer trash blonde who, with a lot of help from a plastic surgeon, managed to land the ultimate 'sugar daddy' ... who then 'bought' her way into Playboy and Hollywood fame.

The fact that her saga includes a 'murdered' son who was born out of wedlock, and that her own death now appears to involve drugs plus a possibility of 'murder' with a multi million dollar inheritance motive relative to Anna Nicole's child whose father is still unidentified IMHO just adds to the pre-existing sleaze factor.

Regardless of Anna Nicole's personal efforts, motives, etc. the fact remains that her death now becomes the next mainstream media story to reinforce the Hollywood Stripper Stereotype ... which is timely considering that the Duke Rape Case is becoming pretty well played out.

From a purely editorial perspective, this makes it, unfortunately, a nearly perfect package. All that keeps it from being 100% perfect is that it's missing an affair with a member of the British royal family.

I have to add a comment I was upset last night at bill o' riley i tunrned the channel him becuse he was talking poorly of anna on the day of her death I do relize she has a certin repution and a lot of unflatering things are going to be said during the next few weeks but I find talking poorly of someone on the very day of there death shows an incredibal lack of tact. I think on the day of someones death the rule of if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all should be in effect.
