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."
Inside Howard K. Stern's "Get Slim Quick" Plan for Anna Nicole
by N.F. Mendoza
Anna Nicole Smith and Tony Little (inset).
Even as the E! network was hiring überfitness trainer Tony Little to get the increasingly plus-sized Anna Nicole Smith into shape, her lawyer and companion, Howard K. Stern, was already brokering a deal with TrimSpa, Little tells TV Guide — an arrangement which would have netted Stern a lot of cash.
"I was brought in as a trainer, to get her to drop the weight and get her motivated," Little recalls. But, as others who tried to help Smith found, the bombshell wasn't particularly interested in helping herself. "She was a very tough case."
Little helped install a home gym and tried to get Smith to begin a regimen, in the hopes that she'd lose weight in a healthy way. "I'm a high-energy motivating guy," he explains. "If you could get her to smile and joke it was cool, but all of a sudden she would zone off. She was so depressed and so medicated, it was an impossibility for me to conquer."
Smith's lack of motivation may have been due to the fact that Stern "was already trying to negotiate a TrimSpa deal, because they were going to pay him a lot of money," Little says. Little did his best to convince Smith that as a trainer, he was certain she could lose the weight and keep it off through dieting and exercise. "'Pills wouldn't give you the results,'" he recalls telling her, "but she said she needed the money, and it was a good endorsement deal."
With Smith's lack of interest and motivation — combined with "Howard Stern in the house, there every second, and [son] Daniel, who seemed to be just as depressed as his mom" — Little found it a beyond-daunting task. Daniel "was very sad," the trainer remembers. "I can't remember him saying two words or lifting his eyes from the carpet."
The entire situation was "sad," Little says with a sigh. "There's nothing worse that can happen than losing your child, and she no doubt felt terribly sad. She had such a hard time in her life. If she was depressed before, after Daniel died she had to be beyond depressed."
Little concurs with many of those on the periphery of Smith's life, saying, "She was on medication to handle it." He then shrugs, "I don't know the Howard K. Stern angle. It's a very strange thing, how he was there every second of every minute of every day in every area. It was a very hard situation."
Anna Nicole "was truly sweet, but beyond loss," Little says in conclusion. "If you add depression and you add medication.... It wasn't a good environment. She did beat [early] adversity, but she seemed to be making the wrong decisions."

The thread is too long to read. It would not hurt you to put it in an abbreviated form for me. - Also, you may not use my jokes in your repertoire for being so testy and fractious with me.
Wow.
In this photo, the lady in the lower left front row looks just like Ellen DeGeneres with an old fashioned hairdo.
Absolutely.
It's a natural conclusion until you get lawyers, judges, and TV cameras in the mix.
This should be a heads up to anyone who does not keep their affairs in order.
Thanks Rte66. I made up one of the little moron jokes, but spectre didn't appreciate it . . . . I've gone over to the dark side, Rte66, and have fallen into the habit of just aggravating people. Tee Hee.
Somehow they saw coverage of the case on the weekend-they told the judge.

Interesting post about the trainer. thanks
You and me either. They look as if they should be painful.
The poster that had that pic posted on his site calls attention to something black partially covering Anna's right wrist.
You should ping people to the post if you're going to mention them. Common courtesy...
First I thought that she reminds me more of Imogene Coca
,
but then I don't think so, but I can't put my finger on it at the present. But I believe that they if not all, the first few rows are actors and actresses.

A young Carol Burnett?
