Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

by John Little on 8/02/2007

It’s offtopic but tragic enough to post here:

Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith is dead, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Smith, 39, collapsed at a south Florida hotel and was taken to a local hospital, according to news reports.

TMZ.com had reported that Smith collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. ET.

I can’t say I’m shocked that she checked out at age 39 in an Indian casino. But on a more positive note J. Howard Marshall just got his first lapdance in 12 years.

Look for the tabloids and other media to go after Howard K. Stern with a vengeance.

Gawker: Please God, don’t take Anna Nicole. Not after she’s given us so much.

TMZ: In October 2006, Anna Nicole Smith’s mom, Virgie Arthur, told Nancy Grace on CNN Headline News that after the death of Anna’s son, Daniel, she was concerned that Howard K. Stern was the one in line to inherit Anna’s millions. “If Howard Stern marries her and she ends up dead, then who does the money go [to]? Danny’s not there,” Arthur said.

Randinto commenting on YouTube: Anna Nicole Smith now represents America in every way… off balance, kooky, drugged up, not based in reality, hooked on tragedy and now… finished

Klaus and Sunny: Poor Anna Nicole. I think this is very sad. And Nancy Grace is a harpy. And Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead are gross.

Larry King: She had some class.

    Larry King: ‘Nicole had a lot of class’, I paraphrase. It’s too bad Larry King Live (is he really?) doesn’t have the same class as the late lady, of glitz, gone awry.
    King was, er is salivating over her demise: the ME, the body shop guy, got top billing along with a few others who dabble with the remnants of those on their way to the netherworld.
    The leftist mass-media flummoxed… sandwiched between the demise of a supposed modern-day Mary Magdalene and the second coming of the Messiah, Obama.
    Let’s be forthright; prioritizing, the news, isn’t journalism’s forte, after all.
    Present-day journalism has had its finer moments… though; for the life of me, I can’t recall when.

    “Poor Danielynn,” they say? I caught her reality show twice and heard the filth pouring out of her mouth. Her death is the best chance her daugher has to grow up normal!

    “She had a rough life, they say.” Every ignorant person should be so lucky as to make millions for having a foul mouth.

    It was the right decision. Anna Nicole’s expressed wishes should should have been, and ultimately was, the primary factor.
