The edit was just one they had done before when they ran the whole piece. I’m sure there was a LOT they had to edit out of it, if what we heard was true.
They didn’t even say anything in the voiceover to explain why they were showing that brief clip, but I know it was sometime just before the magazine thing.
They were out in another room - I think the living room - before they went into Anna’s bedroom or wherever they were doing her makeup and hair - looked like a bedroom, but I don’t know for sure - just my impression from seeing it before.
I really can’t remember what the context of the grabbing was - and ET evidently couldn’t, either, or they would have said something like “Howard and Anna playfully talked about whatever” - you know, *tra la la.*
Maybe the producers want to see how many of us caught it? Maybe they want to save face after the clown fiasco was released, and ET wasn't first to show it? Maybe they want Howard to try to cancel his contract with ET?
And, perhaps, they know Howard and KE are in big trouble, and want to switch gears for the next round of capitalizing on Anna Nicole and Daniel.
