One can only imagine how "The Soup" is going to handle this one...

[metmom]

Glad I'm not part of that family. Doesn't sound too good health wise.

[Felis_irritable]

I felt sorry for her, I don't know if it was an act but she was way off my goofy meter. Troubled life though.

I just heard that addled old creep Hefner released a statement saying his prayers were with her family etc. I thought he was an atheist... Who do they pray to?

[Delphinium]

Now maybe the father can get his child.

[shield]

A person who's known her for yrs said she most probably died from a drug overdose. She wanted to be a Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield...she got her wish...early death. Lots of stress on a body....lots of drugs...on top of that the tragic death of her son.

I think it's very very sad...prayers for her family. At least now hopefully, she's with her beloved son again and at peace.

Putting on my flame suit, the only thing that makes sense to me is the timing.
ANS' daughter's father was ANS's son. The son freaked out when he found he was the dad and could not handle it and checked out.
ANS knew that the truth would come out with the court ordered DNA test this week, so she checked out.

Too much Law and Order is my defense.

I hope somebody is checking closely for odd death possibilities. I don't know what they look for, but I know it's peculiar both the son and now the mother die so suddenly of "heart" problems. This Stern guy might be another black widow. The baby would inherit her mom's money. There is gonna be a court battle that makes the other one (with the stepson and supreme court) look mild. All IMO, of course.

Praying for that baby. Sheesh, what a life... for a six month old!

[Robert Lomax]

Why is this news?

[hispanarepublicana]

I'll stay homely (by comparison) and happy.

[rbosque]

And the moral is...money just doesn't buy happiness.

RIP

Our Princess Di is dead....

"I wish I could have known you,
but I was just a kid,
not an 80 year old billionaire,
who's wheelchair wouldn't rid...."

[PeanutbutterandJellybean]

I'm wondering and haven't heard...
did Anna Nicole Smith have a will? Life Insurance? Who's executor? Beneficiary? Did she have medical directives? Who drafted the will? Why did she go to Florida? If she really had a high fever for several days, why would she even make the trip? If anything was pre-meditated (regarding her death), was Florida selected for the state to go to because they are sure to enforce medical directives if she designated "no life support measures were to be taken?"

Also, I think it's pure malarkey the hoops that Larry Berkhead has to jump thru to prove that's his daughter. If Howard K Stern is really the baby's father, why wouldn't he allow the paternity testing to be done,to put an end to the rumors.

This whole thing stinks all the way around.

[Proudcongal]

I wonder what the extradition laws are between the U.S. and the Bahamas.

Time for THE LIST!!!!!

This case has not been so much about the Tabloid Anna Nicole Smith, but the legal crises surrounding;
The death of a son - about to reach his majority (age 21)of undetermined manner and cause. Could be homicide.
The birth of a daughter - whose paternity and custody is in question - who may also have been born addicted to illegally obtained prescription drugs.
The premature, undetermined death of the infant's mother -could be homicide, suicide or misadventure.
Conspiracy to access a $1.6billion estate and eliminate per stirpes heirs.
Conspiracy by lawyers and foreign government officials to circumvent immigration laws for fraudulent purposes.
Intent to defraud owners of real property and real estate.
Illegal transportation of prescription drugs, by interstate and international waters.
Potential kidnapping of a US citizen.
Creation and presentation of fraudulent documents to avoid parental and custodial rights.
Possible religious bias against a Southern Baptist/Christian upbringing for a child who had a GODMOTHER appointed by her mother, who had a "Baptist" minister perform a "committment ceremony". Will the self-appointed father honor this religious affiliation or circumvent it?

WE SHOULD ALL BE TERRIFIED THAT THESE SAME LAWYERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND JUDGES COULD PUT ALL OF US IN JEOPARDY.

A REVIEW OF ALL THE "LEGAL" RULINGS TO DATE SHOULD REMIND US TO NEVER LEAVE OUR AFFAIRS IN THE HANDS OF LAWYERS OR JUDGES.
