Final Footage of Anna Nicole Smith Sells for Over $500,000 (media vultures)

Anna Nicole Smith was the media's favorite "train-wreck".

Her own weaknesses fed the media and they, in-turn, fed her weaknesses.

It is a sad commentary on society.

The video shows paramedics working on the unresponsive reality star

Perhaps this is what she would have wanted ... on-camera to the end, and after the end.

I hadn't realized she was younger than I am. What a waste of a life.

[Vaquero]

even after she's dead, people want to jump her bones....

[AbeKrieger]

The only thing sad about all this is the newborn baby she left behind. Other than that, she brought it all on her self with her behavior.

Who is the ghoul who took the pictures and hawked them for money?

[OldFriend]

When the people around you have financial gain from being around you, they aren't likely to tell you the truth about your behaviour.

Not all that uncommon when you look at some in the media. Chris Matthews comes to mind, but he's not the only one out of control

[cvq3842]

Yes, absolutely.

What a wasted life.

Prayers to the family.

I don't care to see it.

On the other hand, I am curious to see Steve Irwins final moments. For a couple of reasons. I personally think he got careless and got too dam close to the critter. Also, attacks by sting rays are very rare.

Plus, he said quite a few times if anything ever happened, to keep the cameras rolling because he wanted people to see.

Interesting thing to think about, I guess.
If the last moments of your life were filmed... Would you want people to be able to see it? Your loved ones? Would you want it posted on YouTube?

Why does life keep handing us these stupid questions?

It was said on Sky News this morning that the person she admired and wished to emulate was Marilyn Monroe. I take it no one told her this was not a good idea.

It's so sad....

I often wondered about her spiritual life. She seemed so lost when her son died. I can't help but think that this episode of her life was the beginning of the end.

She needs our prayers.

[Tax-chick]

She needs our prayers.

Definitely. And her infant needs our prayers even more. I suppose it's too much to hope that the child would be placed for adoption with a normal family ...

It was said on Sky News this morning that the person she admired and wished to emulate was Marilyn Monroe. I take it no one told her this was not a good idea.

She did a reasonably good job...allbeit in a second-rate sort of way.

[Tax-chick]

Who is the ghoul who took the pictures and hawked them for money?

I'm sure that will become known. He or she will want "credit" for the accomplishment.

[Northern Yankee]

Good Morning.

When I look at what has transpired with this woman I think we can count our blessings.

You're so right, TC. This baby is going to need some normalcy.

When the people around you have financial gain from being around you, . . .

Greta was saying last night on Fox that Anna's lawyer happened to be in the room when Anna died and in the room when her son died.

[atomicpossum]

They've been circling for years, now they come to eat the flesh...

[Carolinamom]

I think we can count our blessings.

Although her beauty brought fame and worldly goods, she lived a very sad life. May she RSP, and my prayers are w/her little girl...that she lives a normal life surrounded by love, not greed.

[OldFriend]

A little worried about the gal that Trump 'rescued'. She from a tiny town with an unstable history of alcohol abuse. Now he's trying to get her a deal with Playboy.

This does not bode well for Tara's future wellbeing.

Now all that's left is for Elton John to re-write Candle in The Wind for another dead blonde.

[Carolinamom]

Playboy is not the road any young girl should take IMO. I know a woman who was once a Bunny there who did escape....to the South and marriage, but not all do.
