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."
It 9:40 EST here...no TV coverage of the funeral. They are all concentrating on that tragic bus crush in Georgia and the devestating tornado in Alabama. CourtTV has the Jessica Lunsford trial on.
Rita says that the crowd is jeering HKS.
Anna Nicole Smith's body arrives in Bahamas
Plane holding Anna Nicole Smith's body arrives for Bahamas funeral
(Nassau, Bahamas - AP, March 2, 2007) - A private plane carrying Anna Nicole Smith's body arrived Friday in the Bahamas, where she will be laid to rest following what a friend described as an "over the top" private service after weeks of very public wrangling over the burial site.
The flight left Florida with her casket after authorities escorted a black hearse to Miami International Airport, as news helicopters tracked the procession from the medical examiner's office in Fort Lauderdale. Jim Joseffy, managing director of IBC Airways, which operated the flight, confirmed the plane landed in Nassau.
A burial was scheduled later in the morning, but the funeral might not bring an end to the saga: her estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, will likely try to get the body out of the Bahamas, said her lawyer, Tom Pirtle. He would not elaborate about possible legal action.
"We are not exactly sure what shape it is going to be," Pirtle said Thursday in a telephone interview, just hours after saying Arthur had decided to drop her legal challenges in Florida courts.
The funeral is to take place later Friday at the Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau, and she is to be buried at the Lakeview Memorial Gardens, said Richard Milstein, the court-appointed advocate for Smith's 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn. A judge gave him control of the starlet's remains.
Both services are closed to the public, Milstein said in a statement issued Thursday by a public relations firm. He did not return phone messages left at his office and on his cell phone seeking additional comment.

you're dang straight about that.
He's not going to disappoint our expectations of him, LOL!
sw
I just viewed someone who had been embalmed because of a funeral delay. We all agreed that he looked better than he had looked for the last year. "Deterioration comes in "degrees". We'll have to wait for the "video"!!!!!!!!!!!
OOPS! Breaking news on MSNBC. Rita reporting. The guests are entering the church. "The Bahamian crowd jeered at Howard....cheered for Larry."
I didn't see it...Rita reporting. I just saw the back of Howard's head entering church. Line of limos coming now...
>>>I heard this morning that 9 people lost their lives in the tornado in Columbus as well.>>>
Yes, that's 40 miles south of me and I was SCARED last night. My stepfather called me from his hall afraid. I have never heard my father afraid from weather.
We have alot of tornadoes in our area though.
sheesh, where is the red carpet...
Good Lord, they're having a red carpet to the FUNeral. "It's what Anna would have wanted."
>>>"Anna Nicole's estranged mother VIRGIE ARTHUR may attempt to delay the service."
Shame on her. She tried and lost. I would never do this to my daughter and grandson. Enough is enough. Let them rest.>>>
I agree.
Pictures...
I am way to old but will still ask for
Pictures.
When we travel out of town 4miles we have to click up to Country that yes we like but we are so rural I think it will be 2 yrs before Jo Nickles gets here.
I was going to say that he'd do that, but i was only thinking of it as a joke. But this is HKS we're talking about. How lo can Howie go?
I doubt the Tiara was glass. It's called "money laundering". We'll get the news on the cost of these items shortly.
No, just little clips on regular NBC and ABC. A clip her and a clip there - but ha, they're following it all the way to The Bahamas.
She must already be there, but they didn't show us that. Yet.
Is the driver among the dead? I wonder what happened? That is awful.
I'm pretty sure every single person there has their cameraphone with them, never fear!
When I googled G. Ben Thompson a few days ago, I found that he is Republican. This is all I can find on his contributions.
