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."

FR has a lot more regular readers than it did five years ago. Also, there have been hundreds of 9/11 threads and a relative few on Smith's death. In 2001, the moderators didn't lock or cancel duplicate threads nearly as often, so there were most likely several dozen WTC threads going on. Heck, this year's Super Bowl thread had nearly four times the number of responses as the thread you posted on the WTC.
