Who didn't see this one coming?

That's a shame. But i'm guessing a few of you are gonna say she deserved it...
:ninja:
I'm not going to say that. But it's not really a surprise, is it?Quote:

Here's a spooky coincidence.
Last night I had dinner with Kent Taylor, and Bobby Trendy sat down at our table and joined us. I wrote about it on Lavender Lounge Blog, then checked the news and saw ANS it dead. Weird.
Been watching this on Fox news here.. pretty sad how they are ripping her to pieces. She wasn't a *********, she was a new mother who just lost her oldest son, for whatever reason she had to marry her lawyer, it's sad.
The media ate her up alive and are ripping her to pieces dead. I feel for the daughter she leaves behind.
Very unfortunate, some on TV are forgetting her infant daughter will be growing up without her mom, not to mention the mess that will ensue over all of the money she's left behind
Her mother on CNN in October after Anna's son's death:
"If Howard Stern marries her and she ends up dead, then who does the money go [to]? Danny's not there," Arthur said.
Sounds like it! I used to work for Bobby Trendy when I lived in L.A. 2004-2005 and I used to hear a lot about Anna Nicole. I didn't see this coming. Although if I had thought a little about it, I think it was a depression caused suicide.Quote:

people die who have done FAR worse things to far more people than anna nicole who are spoken about in the media with far more respect. in fact, i don't think i've ever seen ANY news report of someone's death that was as rude and mean, with such smug overtones, as the ones i just saw.
RIP anna nicole smith.
What news channels are all of you watching?! I've been watching CNN and I haven't heard anyone being outrageously catty. Of course Nancy Grace has been calling in and giving her COMPLETELY slanted take on things. She can go rot in hell. But other than that, CNN has been rather respectful.
I'm watching Fox.. CNN here in Australia is CNN International.. so we don't get the same feeds you get in the states.
Sadaam got more respect on the coverage of his death. I never heard anyone say about Sadaam "he was a train wreck" "It wasn't surprising that it came to this"
The media has made a fortune off her, and this is how they treat her in the end.
Well, I hate to be the one to say it...
But her life WAS a train wreck...at least from the outside looking in.
Granted, I don't know her, or the details, etc. etc. etc. AND I AM NOT SAYING THAT SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVES...
But...
Karma anyone?
Well, it's a completely true statement... at least in my opinion. She garnered attention only because of her big breasts and wildly erratic behaviour. It was inevitable that she would flame-out. I don't think calling her a "train-wreck" is anything but stating a fact.Quote:

Come on, do you really think it has anything to do with her breasts? The woman was dumb as dirt. She was a walking cartoon. I simply never heard an intelligent thing come out of her mouth. The only thing I'm sorry about is that Paris Hilton wasn't lying on the ground at Anna Nicole's feet when she fell over.Quote:

Anna Nicole is the epithomy of what is wrong with the U.S.. Most of the country has their priorities so fucked up they can't even see the decline of their own civilization.
Give me a fucking break.

Like Anna Nicole is the only celebrity with a tumultuous life? So many of them are off their nut.
It seems in her death, as in her life, she has the attention of the public, even those who didn't like her. You just can't help but to watch and talk about her :bunny:
... because her life was such a... um... er... train-wreck?Quote:

She will undoubtly get the full treatment from all the crappy cable stations I suscribe to just so I can get HBO and watch ROME.
I wonder who they will get to play her? Hopefully someone with talent...
She does have an incredible story of her triumph of over amazing obstacles. Just a small example of MANY more she had to overcome was sex with an octanarian in a wheelchair without breaking any bones or spilling any fluid from the catheter. :juggle:Quote:

I'm not joking one bit. I'm not saying that she was as gifted as those 3 historic figures. But her life story is absolutely an epic tale. You couldn't make that shit up!Quote:

-Her son dies of a mysterious drug overdose while visiting her in a Bahama hospital room after the birth of his sister.
-Marries her Attorney Howard to try and thwart a custody battle over her new daughter.
-Dies a few short months later after the birth of her daughter and the death of her son,
And those are only the hig/low points that I'm aware of. You're right, she doesn't warrant a movie of her life. You couldn't possible fit it all into a 2 hour movie.
Choo Choo....Quote:

I have to agree with Jim also, i havent watched any news program in the last 4 hours that have actually been bashing her, unless you count Lou Dobbs saying there wouldnt be anything on his segment about her death.
Im actually still in shock that this is pretty much all that has been reported in the last 6-7 hours, its almost as if the world stopped because a d-list celeb died.

Lee
Sorry guys but imo its no great loss. What did she actually achieve? Marry some 87 year old practicly dead oil billionaire and try to steal the money he left from his family. Thats what she did and i doubt her late husbands family will be that upset. One less bit of trash in the world.
She was a whore by definition of her actions imo.
Let the hating start lol
Bobby Trendy on Hannity and Colmes right now - NEVER in a million years did I think I'd ever see this ha ha!
I am extremely sad about the news of Anna Nicole dying. While I think she had her share of issues and problems, but she was truely an amazing individual. Her whole life was spent fighting for herself, from the media, to the lawsuits, and even her family. I cried when I heard the news, and I am truely glad that she is being iconized with the likes of James Dean, and Marilyn Monroe, it is exactly what she would have wanted.Quote:

I have to admit.... the world of "babe celebrities" is so totally foreign to me, I think routinely confused Anna Nicole Smith with Pamela Anderson Lee for many years. BUT I can identify a Star Trek episode after about ten seconds of watching.....
Steve
Well last year of his life at least.
Of course she must of loved him, what else would she see in an 87 year old billionaire?
She was from Mexia, Texas, it is a little less than half way from Dallas to Houston. (instert your trash comments here, LOL) but I grew up about 15 miles away from there.Quote:

That's one of those towns you run into when you are driving to Nacanowhere in East Texas.
That's a plus in my book.

On a serious note (my past posts have been less serious which isnt nice but neither was she imo)..Quote:

Which ever way you look at her, his family where there for a lot longer than she was.
She fucked (maybe) and old guy for his cash, knowing that he would die soon. That called a prostitute where i come from. Maybe she she didnt fuck him. In the UK that would mean they arnt legally married but id guess thats not the case in the usa.
Either way she was a filthy whore who took advantage of an elderly gent and then went to court to fight his grieving family for every last cent that they deserved. She died in the gutter where she belongs.
Now the daughter, im heartbroken for. She deserves a mum who will love her. My prayers are with her.
I don't think she ever took claim on wanting everything of his.. she wanted half which is what he told her that she would get. To call her a whore and that she died in the gutter where she belongs... all I can really say is WOW.. I cannot believe you would say something like that about anyone dying. She never hurt anyone, she wasnt doing mass killings, she wasn't hurting anyone, she wasn't exploiting kids.Quote:

One think I absolutely cannot believe is the number of people in this thread bashing Anna Nicole and saying she got what she deserved. And there is hardly anyone defending her.
The sad part of this is that even Brian Kocis got more defense for people downing his death than what she is. IMO she NEVER, EVER, EVER did anything on that magnitude.
You obviously don't know anything about her relationship with Hword J. He LOVED big busted women and would frequent strip clubs and lavish the girls with gifts. He met Anna at a strip club where she was working as a dancer. If anything, he wanted her to have what she was legally owed.Quote:

IMHO, if she was taking drugs, and did in fact die of an overdose, then she did get what she deserved.Quote:

Im actually more apalled by the amount of people who actually said it was a shame that Kocis died, it wasnt, he was a kiddie fiddler and he got exactly what he deserved, the circumstances surrounding his death were bad, but he was a self admitted kiddy fiddler and child porn producer and deserved no sympathy whatsoever.
I dont care that Nicole-Smith got all that money, she fought for it in the courts and won it, legally, whether i think she deserved it or not doesnt really matter, what matters is legally she was entitled to every cent she got, i just hope she had the sense to put enough of it in trust for her remaining children so they dont have to grow up with the stigma of being orphans of Anna Nicole, that is the real tragedy here, the fact that for the rest of their lives, these children are going to looked at by most people as the kids of a money grabbing whore :(
