What a sad life. I can only imagine the legal stuff and custody battle over that poor little baby already brewing.
 
Did she die!!! OMG!! I read where she was hospitalized. What happened to her?:eek:

Im watching CNN now - collapsed at a hotel in Fla and they were unable to revive her.
 
Can you believe it! It's shocking!
 
I just saw this post and turned around to my office-mate and she was like OMG, she was just telling her mom last night after watching the Insider that she thinks the new husband killed daniel, and that anna nicole would be next.... so that he can claim the $$ from her pre-deceased husband... and then today she is dead, wow.... so sad for that poor baby!! I think that is is fishy, and anna nicole has been weird (drug wise) ever since the baby was born...
 
OMG I just put on CNN I can't belive it :eek:
 
I just read where she was hospitalized and then went to CNN when I read Cindy's post about her death. She appeared to have her "stuff" together in her most recent interviews. I can't say I would have made the choices she has made in life but what a crazy life it has been for her. Despite everything, however, she has had so much to deal with these last few months. The emotional roller coaster of giving birth and then experiencing your son's death just days later. The marriage and the paternity battle. Now the Trim Spa battle. Hopefully her soul will be at rest. I wonder what the cause of her collapse and death are from.

Wow! Unbelieavable!
 
I think she was drugged by her husband...

I must live under a rock--LOL!! I try not to watch the news it is so sad!!!
 
I know, I am at work, and wouldn't have known until way later after my cluster meeting if I didn't see it on here!
 
Holy crap. That is the Hard Rock by me....
 
Something smells in Denmark. Don't you think it is odd that she and her son died (basically) the same way? collapse and die. Sounds like Howard better have a good laywer...better than himself. Valky
 
We shall see it unfold on ET and IE for the next year or so. OVER AND OVER

I know right...makes me want to go over there and nosey...LOL. I bet that hotel is going crazy right now
 
What a tragic story-- her life AND death.You know, as messed-up as she was, I always rooted for her, and hoped she would get it together.You know, her idol was Marilyn Monroe... [shivers]

I think somebody had something to do with her sons death and hers.....
 
Yes, it definitely is suspicious, isn't it?
 
Does sound awful fishy doesn't it? She did act kind of weird a few times out in public. Could be drugs, could be stress, could be a combo of things. Who knows, those diet pills she promoted could have done something after taking them for awhile. I'm scared to take those kinds of things myself. I hope the Burkhead guy turns out to be the real father. The Stern guy just seems like a jerk to me. And not because he shares the same name with another famous jerk.
 
They are doing the autopsy tomorrow, and I am waiting to see the press conference...
 
I think the whole thing (her marrying Howard) is a cover up about him not being the real father. I used to watch the Anna Nicole show on E! and they were always like brother and sister, not romantic AT ALL! I am so sad for her and her daughter, and don't think that the husband had anything to do with it, but I think he should have to prove paternity before he can keep the baby...
 
a friend emailed me about this and in a blonde moment I emailed her back and said I'm sorry, Is she someone I know?? the name didn't click with me & only when I logged onto mt other email did I see it was headline news.
I emailed her back and said never mind I didn't
DUH!!
 
Gillian you must have been reading my mind. I (sad to admit) use to watch the A N Show too (it was kinda like a car wreck...you don't want to watch but you get sucked in) I thought Howie was a total dufus ,,,not that she wasn't too (sorry I don't mean to be disrespectful, JMO). I'm sorry for her death and more sorry for her little baby. I don't think a paternity test would have dragged out so long had there not been something to hide (or not want to reveal). Valky
 
Drudge report...http://today.reuters.com/news/artic...46_RTRUKOC_0_US-ANNANICOLE.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

So, here is my guestimation:

She has been taking those Trimspa pills, which only do some good for so long, and she was a coke addict, a B&P'r and partied way too much. Had a HUGE amount of stress within the last 6-8 months. I truly think she just colapsed from extreme exaustion, and her heart failed her.

She was not healthy (skinny does not mean in good shape) and it all caught up with her. Sad, but it was going to happen sooner or later.
 
I am watching CNN and they said that Larry Birkhart (sp?) is already trying to get custody of the baby and she is still in the Bahamas. She always acted on the show like she would rather die than mess around with Howard, so it looked a little suspicious when they up and got married. Plus, if he was really the father why wouldn't they say that when she announced the pregnancy instead of after the baby was born?? I agree with Valky- if she had nothing to hide she would have done the paternity test a long time ago!
 
You take a nap for an hour and look what happens LOL...goodness.

That is sad for the baby I think.
 
I saw this news just before I logged on. My first thought was how sad it has all been. This poor woman seemed to try everything she (or someone else) could think of to feel good enough, pretty enough, . . . just . . . enough. My heart goes out to her child. The chances of her having any semblance of a normal life are slim.
 
It kinda feels like the Twilight Zone or something, to me. Wolf Blitzer in The Situation Room, talking about it like it's the most serious thing he's reported in months... doodooo doodooo doodooo doodooo
 
It's is just a sad life all together. I feel sorry for the poor baby, but then I do not see Anna Nicole as a good mother either.(not to disrespect the dead) I was hoping the baby would change her life for the best.
