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."

A cover-up will lead to wild speculation. If a judge really does block getting ANS's DNA - which only benefits Stern, can't ANS's mother and sister's be used to determined if the child claimed to be ANS's is really hers?

[Fawn]

You got a point...I think Nancy Pelosi is involved too. LOL

Her DNA is on every envelop she ever licked. Preserving her DNA is a non starter. Tissue will be kept regardless.

Yikes, there goes the baby, she will disappear until she turns up at 18 to collect her millions, with Stern by her side.

Do you know if she still had that weirdo personal assistant, Kim?

This story will continue to be a tabloid dream. I bet Greta will cover it non-stop for the next year.

Ron Rale's presser is now over.

He purports to be ANS's "attorney" and claims that "she would have wanted him here, to fight against her DNA collection on the day after her death".

He ends the press conference by saying "I have no information on burial plans". The judge has punted this on jurisdiction issues, there is a hearing on Feb 20 to settle the DNA question.

Both Rale, and the other scum-sucking attorney who is representing Stern, were asked why Howard just does not provide a DNA sample to end all of this.

Attorneys: "He doesn't have to. He is the presumed father. His name is on the Birth Cert."

I put guys like Stern in the same category that I put rapists, child molesters and alike. Parasites all.

I'm afraid you're right.


The bottom line for me --- neither ANS nor HKS were concerned enough for the baby --- neither acted liked a responsible and loving parent.

FWIW --- I hope Birkhead is the father and that he gets custody.

[maggief]

No, sorry I don't know.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Her DNA is on every envelop she ever licked. Preserving her DNA is a non starter."

Truthfully, I think that they were attempting this emergency hearing, out of concern for the immediate future of the baby.

Me too. HKS can go pound sand as far as I am concerned. He's pond scum.

[Jrabbit]

Looks like Stern and jackal lawyers will fight tooth and nail to prevent the paternity issue. Way too much money on the line.

[onyx]

Before the baby is whisked away to forever sail the world in international waters.

[JFC]

I also hope Birkhead is the dad. It seems like it could be cleared up with just s DNA test asap. Stern will hide the baby so that it will never be tested. You could not write a noval with all the twists of this story.

[onyx]

He should be in a lot of trouble --- drugs seem to "follow" him. He's clever, but he'll soon run into a smart and decent lawyer, and hopefully, the law. He's got a lot of 'splaining' to do.

[smonk]

this is just getting "off-the-charts" horrific. even in death, she is being used and manipulated.

[onyx]

I think that's the purpose for the yacht --- sail in international waters with the baby -- out of the reach of Birkhead.

I don't know much about Birkhead, but I do know that he's said that Anna Nicole was the love of his life. She was a sick woman, constantly drugged, and "needy" - and this is the love of his life? I don't think he has much for common sense/judgement either. I would be happy to see that Anna Nicole's family got custody rather than Birkhead. Her mom seems to be the only one with SOME common sense in this whole thing. Just my mildly informed, gut-feeling opinion.
