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."

I hope they are being cared for.

Poor Steve Harrigan reporting on ANS news. I think his head is going to explode. This is definitely not his beat.

I'm pretty sure he said "no". Since he was involved in every aspect of ANS life, "not that I know of" would have been a big red flag.

Since most insurance policies require physical exams, it would be unlikely a policy could be obtained without her knowledge. Although . . . with the mix of unethical associations with doctors anything is possible.

I know.

Why do many of these gay men have a lisp when they talk?

[mom4kittys]

I guess it goes along with the limp wrists.

O'Quinn said "They were paid up and in full force, and the primary beneficiary was her son, who died under suspicious circumstances"..

So, dear friends...He DID NOT SAY THEY WERE PAID OUT...mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa..

Ok... you can come out of your room now and play with the rest of us. ;-)

[uncitizen]

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa..

Now now! Enough with the Latin. Speak Amurkan.

[stlnative]

did you hear about an overpass collapsing on highway 55 in St. Louis? (you are in STL right?)

[uncitizen]

Can anyone remember for sure whether HKS said "no" or "not that i know of" when asked by the clown judge if Anna had an insurance policy?

Anna's dress designer almost has a speech impediment.

Nite, Liz.

Good news - or better news re: the storm deaths total is now 7 from the school, not 15. This is being reported from the Weather Channel. (yes am watching the weather because we are getting the storms/wind here tonight)

Howlin, I don't know how you have stood the "candidate" threads. We can't lose FR. And we can't lose in 2008.

Ok back to Anna. OK, ok, will wear pink tomorrow in Anna's honor. I hope somebody there holds Virgie.....what a contrast that will be. I hope she can stand it all.

I have said all along that LB might not be the father and it might be someone who didn't want to come forward for whatever reason. The baby does look like G. Ben to me.

I have been saying the same. The date of conception appears to be sometime in December 2005 judging from the birth date.

So under Bahama law, Howard likely would have been able to keep the baby if no one came forward that matched the DNA of the baby...except for the problem of the birth certificate with signatures, etc.

Not necessarily. Virgie is already in Bahamian courts fighting for custody of the baby. The Bahamas is a matriarchal society and the courts there might rather see the baby girl being raised by her grandmother rather than by a single man even if he is the bio father. Heard that on CTV today.

Thanks guys, I'm really red faced here..

BUT the good that came out of it, was we discussed many reasons why Howie wouldn't be able to claim the insurance right now.

It's a learning process, this case..:)

[daybreakcoming]

We should all wear pink tomorrow while we sit at our computers. That is the what Anna would have wanted you know! LOL. Great idea. If we can't be there in the flesh, we can be there in spirit. The way Anna would've wanted it.

The pink pajama brigade? Anna would have liked that.

[Howlin]

We're wearing pink??? Hmm...

Hopefully Steve's looking at this as a break from the war and other tough assignments. It does seem strange...

[Jrabbit]

I don't look good in pink....

[Jrabbit]

I'll wear red for Daniel...
