Well, I’m glad you posted that article with the gist of the story about the ET exclusive.
I confess that I did watch it, in fact twice, trying to get some idea of what it was all about. LB opens his mouth and all I hear is “blah blah blah blah”. Charlie Brown’s teacher (*wah wah wah* - horn sounds) is more intelligible.
Something about a family reunion for DL at the graves? They didn’t show the screaming Dannielynn pix that were in the first day’s preview. They showed her sometimes with little black Mary Janes on and sometimes with them off.
(Dad obviously doesn’t worry about green grass stains on little white tights, lol. Shoes were on while she was being carried from the parking lot, shoes were off when he was putting her down or picking her up from trying to stand in the grass by the grave. Then they were on again, then off again, then on, then off - every frame was different.)
She was saying “ma ma ma ma ma” like that and both Larry and ET said she was saying “Momma” when she wasn’t! She was just making baby sounds!
ET was being so morbid about all the Anna “death stuff” and perhaps the dumbest (well, maybe not *the* dumbest) statement made was when they did a close-up on Dannielynn’s hair. She had on two bows, one on each side - a black one and a white one, to match her outfit.
ET zoomed in close on the side with the black one and the dramatic voiceover says “wearing a black bow in her hair” as if it is her widow’s weeds.
She didn’t do any standing or walking, just a lot of kicking - but there will be more tomorrow, so maybe they’re saving it.
Jann Carl was just urpy when saying how “touching” it was that DL left Anna Nicole a “gift” on her grave, a little pink plastic turtle that was her favorite toy. Carl went on and on about how easily DL “just let go of it and left it there.”
Come on! How stupid does this coverage have to get? They had led up to it the whole show like it was some big inside secret - “what Dannielynn left on the grave.” I thought, if nothing else, the dullard dadster would say he and Anna always joked about wanting to be turtles and just crawling inside their shells or something. Nope, just a toy of DL’s, that’s all!
LB said he always goes to Anna’s grave “every time he’s in Nassau.” Good grief - how often does he go there and why can’t he go testify at the inquest, and who the heck *else* would he “go see” or where the heck *else* would he go when he is there? This was just idiotic.
Next (today) is supposed to be DL in the church where the funeral was, looking out a stained glass window, for some reason. She has on a *different* black dress for this one.
There was also some buildup about something, but it went in one ear and out my other. Probably about the headstone, but who knows?
Installment #2 of the ANS death anniversary saga on ET - once again, I couldn’t understand about 3/4ths of what Larry said. I even turned up the volume and sat very close to the TV and watched his mouth and still, nothing he said made any sense. *oh, well*
This part was just more of him carrying Dannielynn around the graves, then going into the Mt Horeb church and a clip from last year, with his eulogy and then some fake crying today.
He said something about not ever saying what he really wanted to (in his eulogy) - but he didn’t say *what* that might have been.
He and Jann Carl each took one of Dannielynn’s hands and walked her down the aisle of the church. She had shoes on that time, looked like maybe white sneakers but probably not with her dressy dress - the shoes were off in other photos.
There had been a preview clip of her crawling in the church, but they never showed that actual segment.
Carl asked him about moving the bodies to CA and he (I think) said what was in the story already posted. He added that by the time he lets DL make the decision about any exhumations, it will be 15 or so years from now and he *thinks* she’ll say no!
Then there was more blah blah blah nothingness, then they showed previews of “Dannielynn’s homecoming” to her “real home” - which I assume they mean is Ben Thompson’s house on Eastern Road in Nassau, lol. Yikes, yes, LB is rocking her in the same rocking chair where Anna rocked her in the Horizons nursery.
While they were doing this “special,” there was one segment in the ET studio where they had some huge blow-ups of photos of Dannielynn on panels in the background and there were two which were just outstanding. Her look was very different from most we’ve seen, so I hope they show them again tomorrow and maybe they will be online.
I really wish they could have just done this “tribute” as a minute or two of DL by herself and none of the other gosh-awful narrative. LB makes me sick. Sorry, maybe he’s doing a good job of rearing DL, which is fine - but he, himself, makes me ill.
