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."

Forensic family trees are my *specialty* - but they are not done quickly.

[mom4kittys]

Virgie probably doesn't have the money for this either. I hope she is getting some help.

HKS's lawyers are all keeping thei eye on the prize--that's why they are there.

[Rte66]

What clip are we talking about?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Will Anna's tragedy serve as a warning to the Brit-Pack??

(Show-biz Tonight)

[Rte66]

I probably *would,* but I have not paid attention to this person through all these years - just have stuff by osmosis.

There are parts of the story I'm closer to than others.

[Rte66]

Sweetie Pie was in his lap in one of the two "exclusives" the past few days.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Oh, really. Well, I guess they are safe as long as he needs props?

[mom4kittys]

doubtful

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Access Hollywood - sheesh - now focusing on Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan - in their 20's - who these guys are warning are going down the same road as ANS. They need to pay attention to what happened to Anna Nicole and STOP where they are headed.

For some reason - those women hold zero interest to me.

But, then, I was never really interested in ANS until now - well really until her son mysteriously died. And now she has this little motherless baby. And a truly evil sheister "friend" HKS who seems to have spirited her away from Larry Birkhead's objections and warnings about Anna's drug taking - and then spirited her off to the Bahamas - to get her away from the paternity suits......

Sorry - Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are spoiled brats. Anna never had that money that they have. But who knows, maybe they are headed down the same road.....I don't know (and don't care....)

[Rte66]

If I hear one more TV show call Dannielynn the "half-a-billion-dollar baby," I'm going to scream.

Everything ANS has done for the past 11 years has been getting people to "bet on the come" that she's going to get that money any day now. Don't think so!

[mom4kittys]

ridiculous isn't it?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Right - Showbiz Tonight - not Access Hollywood - they all run together after awhile.

Now talking about the TMZ affidavits from the Nanny:

2 suicide attempts / ANS threatened to shoot the Nanny if the baby ever called her Mummie / the torrid affair going on with the Shane Gibson guy / and the underfeeding the baby /

Now this other person saying - this baby is in danger - HKS no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt - urge court of Bahamas to take the child out of the care of HKS - put the child in foster care - or put this child with her blood relative her grandmother Virgie Arthur. This baby is in danger. WOW.

A few months ago I thought the media was exaggerating about Britney's antics until I saw the crotch shots on the internet!!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Oh - ugh - well haven't seen or cared to see those photos. Britney Spears is just a sicko and she is heading for disintegration, evidently - and she is the mother so to speak of two children. She was shown in tears about celebrities needing to have their privacy and be treated as human beings.

I agree - celebrities are treated terribly - would never want to be one.....but some do hang on to their sanity. A lot of money certainly can corrupt an individual. Fame can do worse to a person.

There ARE people who don't dissolve in it all though.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

"Her last film, a campy sci-fi comedy titled "Illegal Aliens," was shot last year. She was one of the beautiful space aliens trying to save Earth. It included one of her most memorable cinematic lines: "Who do I have to screw to get off of this movie?"

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Well - time to turn in. Thanks to all who are contributing. I am most interested to know if police in FL are investigating the possibility of a CRIME in ANS's death - NOW - and not waiting til the autopsy reports come in. The trail of evidence will be really cold by then.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Goodnight to all.

Smith Loses Latest Court Battle (1/23/07)

Troubled star Anna Nicole Smith lost another battle in court yesterday, after a judge in the Bahamas threw out a case she had filed against her landlord. The former reality TV star had sued G. Ben Thompson claiming he had no basis for evicting her from her home because it had been given to her as a gift. According to entertainment website TMZ.com, the latest ruling clears the way for Thompson to proceed with his eviction lawsuit against Smith. Smith and Thompson were once romantically involved and he claims she told him he was the father of her baby, Dannielynn. The former Playboy Playmate quickly recanted her claim after learning Thompson had undergone a vasectomy several years earlier.

Smith Hospitalized in the Bahamas (11/1/06)

Reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith has been hospitalized with pneumonia at the same Bahamas medical centre where her 20-year-old son died under mysterious circumstances in September. Daniel Smith died while visiting his mother in hospital three days after she gave birth to daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. Smith's attorney, Wayne Munroe, confirms the star is being treated at Doctors Hospital in Nassau. He says, "She has a slight case of pneumonia. We've had a sudden change of weather here due to a cold snap." Munroe said the hospitalization was most likely just a precaution since Smith had recently given birth adding, "I didn't gather it was anything serious." He also said Smith, who moved to the Bahamas during her pregnancy, has filed a lawsuit as part of a dispute with a South Carolina developer over the ownership of a waterfront mansion where she has been secluded since her son's death. Smith's ownership of the home, which her lawyer says she bought in July for $900,000, is the basis of her claim to residency in the Bahamas. In her lawsuit, she asks that the court recognize her purchase and reject a claim by developer G. Ben Thompson.
