Anna Nicole Smith collapsed in her hotel room at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and was rushed to a hospital on Thursday. A Hollywood, Fla., fire department spokesman told MSNBC TV that the actress was unresponsive when the rescue unit arrived on the scene.

Sources confirmed to Access Hollywood that Smith was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. EST on Thursday. Access Hollywood also is reporting that Smith was intubated at the scene.

Officials told the Miami Herald, "it does not look good."

Some background on Howard Marshall

James Howard Marshall II (January 24, 1905 – August 4, 1995) was a wealthy magnate, American oil business executive, and university professor. There is some suggestion that he taught trusts and estates at Yale Law School.

Trusts and Estates...if it's true that he taught it then the man at least if age didn't get him knew what he was talking about and knew what he wanted to be done with his estate.

Pinder represents Thompson but he also has dealt with Birkhead. (I think Birkhead's atty in in the same law firm as Pinder)

The laws are different in each state as well as other countries. The Bahamas requires signatures on birth cert and/or birth registrations.

I'm positive if Virgie had won Stern would be appealing too. I knew this would happen and I think the judge pretty much said someone was going to end up apealing.

[A Citizen Reporter]

We need to find out if parents are required to affix a signature to a birth certificate in the Bahamas.

That sounds strange to me. I don't think you'll find signatures on most birth certs in the states, do you? Although its a surprise to me that in NYS they don't list parents.

I guess every state is different?

[A Citizen Reporter]

Thanks.

Do you remember Opri asking Stern on the witness stand the other day if he knew about an on going investigation in the Bahamas that had something to do with forgery?

'The law requires that every birth is to be registered within twenty-one days from its occurrence."

They got a problem there.

Howard was very careful in court.

He turned his body slightly toward the judge but still with his eyes cast down and held his hands in such a position for max concentration. He had rehearsed it many times.

He said: "I am the father of Dannylynn under the laws of the Bahamas."

Methinks the babe will grow up rather confusedly.

As if his lineage isn't troublesome enough, he might have yearnings to return to his roots, ....but are those roots in the Valley of the Dolls, or Silicon Valley?

[A Citizen Reporter]

They needed to register the birth 21 days after the birth of the child.

Guess what happened 21 days after the birth of Dannielynn?

They aren't brown.

Looked at a close up picture of him and was about to agree with you and then I remembered there is such a thing as colored contact lenses so I still can't say for certain.

[Sacajaweau]

Don't know the date on the registration.

Were Larry and Anna still sending emails at the time. Had Larry taken any legal measures by that time...even as to intent??
