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 appears that disposition of the body might have a HUGE, direct effect on custody of the child.

Otherwise, (as we previously noted) HKS would have let Virgie have the body and try to keep the baby.

There must be something going on behind the scenes about irregularities in the will.

Gotta go - Fox commenting on Opri (per Barth) making a statement about HKS killing ANS.

I wonder what type of proof he would have that Anna told him if it isn't in writing.

[A Citizen Reporter]

What if he says he can't determine what to do with the body, until he knows the father? DNA

I don't disagree.

IIRC, this couple was also the couple who entered the Bahamian home after hearing of her death and took the now infamous photos of the fridge. Would they not have also been the folks who changed the locks on the house?

Who has standing?

Sounds like he will not force the issue of DNA?

[A Citizen Reporter]

I thought he meant that HKS has standing, because Virgies' attorneys argument was that HKS had NO standing.

I think I heard from a commentator in the court room that this women is Birkhead's sister?

[mom4kittys]

Did he say that?

[firewalk]

what a crock...

[fatima]

No paternity test-someone said no.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I think you're right.

[pnz1]

Bet we can guess who said no. So how can you have a child's best interest when you can't even know who her father is?

[A Citizen Reporter]

Judge says that he made a deal with both father's that a trap would not be set (presumeably he means that he would not require them to give a DNA sample).

So he is going ahead with disposition of body, without knowing the father.
