VELEZ-MITCHELL: But there could be convenient timing involved, as well, at least according to some skeptics. And I want to go to Alex Goen, who is the CEO of Trimspa and a close friend of Anna Nicole`s, as well as her late son, Daniel. Alex, thank you for joining us. And all have tremendous sympathy for what Anna Nicole has gone through. There are some people who wonder, though, about the timing of this, given that there was an effort to evict her from her seaside mansion today. Do you see any coincidence -- oh, suddenly she`s hospitalized with pneumonia, but it`s not so bad?
ALEX GOEN, CEO, TRIMSPA: I don`t see any coincidence whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I was planning on going out to see Anna and Howard tomorrow morning. And on Thursday, we were going to do some work with Trimspa for the very first period of -- for the very first time. I mean, when you think about it, Anna had a baby. Just having a baby alone is very difficult. She`s waking up in the middle of the night. She`s having to feed the baby every couple of hours. Then she lost her son. Just having that incident alone is very difficult.
Now she turns on the news, she turns on the television, and she sees story after story after story, one sensational story after the other. This past Saturday, she gave her very first interview in about the last year or so, and that was rather stressful. She talked about her life and some of the challenges that she had as a child, and that alone is very stressful.

"VELEZ-MITCHELL: And what about going and doing a photo shoot with you for Trimspa at this stage, at this juncture?
GOEN: I mean, when do you think the proper time would be? I mean, she is the most celebrated weight-loss success story ever, and this is another opportunity to tell that story. She`s need to lose something like 60, 70 pounds, and we wanted to take some "before" pictures to go out there and show how well the product works. I mean, if this didn`t happen, we probably would have done this photo shoot a month or two ago, but...
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well...
"GOEN: ... when is the proper time?"
Link to entire interview.
I could be wrong, but I thought he was talking about weight that she needed take off starting then.
She went through a couple of hefty periods that I can recall, from seeing her in court appearances here in Houston, off and on throughout the 1990s. Some "thin" ones, too.
I just don't know if she was fat during the TV show, 2002-2004. If I knew that, we could figure it out, I think. Daniel was pretty little when the main Marshall testimony was going on and seems like she was regular size then.
