ANNA NICOLE SMITH
Model and heiress Anna Nicole Smith has died at 39.
UPDATE. No mention yet of Smith’s death in her hometown newspaper. Mexia held a memorial service for Smith’s 20-year-old son last year, following his death in September.
I will shed no tears for Anna Nicole. Everyone close to her seems to have died under controversial or suspicious circumstances. The baby’s extremely lucky to have outlived such a mother, IMHO.

Good luck to the kid.

She was a better speller than you are.Posted by Honkie Hammer on 2007 02 08 at 07:33 PM • permalinkI understand the cause of death was suffocation while doing handstands.
Posted by andycanuck on 2007 02 08 at 07:38 PM • permalinkI’m with you on her pathetic life, El Cid, but the jury’s still out on the baby’s life. I think that could go either way.
I used to feel sorry for her son, and when he died my first question was “did he top himself?” He must have felt like he’d die of embarrassment so many times growing up.
Ahhh, the cult of celebrity.
Who would want to be a part of it? You’ve got to have rocks in your head.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2007 02 08 at 07:47 PM • permalinkThat’s the problem with living your life as the semi-intentional butt of jokes - dignity is denied you even in death.
Posted by blandwagon on 2007 02 08 at 07:47 PM • permalink#4, this is Anna Nicole Smith. She proved the old adage that it’s better to be lucky than smart, and tragic if you are neither.
#7 - And you have proof of this?
I admit my double c’s were unnecessary, but not as unnecessary as her double f’s.
p.s Suck my nuts.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 02 08 at 07:49 PM • permalinkThe gene pool’s improved a few points then. The idiot radio station we have piped through our office ‘phones had 20 minutes of blather about the “tragic loss"- what is it with losers who get all blubbery over someone they’ve never met popping their clogs? (Mind you one of the main offenders was a hack from New Idea, so she’s probably having a teary sniffle because she’s going to have to find another vaccuum-headed peurile clothes-horse who’ll root anything with a pulse as along as its got a wallet thicker than New Ideas readership to pen pointless, tedious and inconsequential blather about).
The only thing I hate more than celebrities are the drooling fucktard who are interested in them. Get a life, you pathetic cretins.
Steady on Habib! If it wasn’t for the New Ideas at my local Chinese takeaway I’d have to stare at their 70’s flocked wallpaper.
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 02 08 at 08:11 PM • permalinkA rich source of salacious ‘celebrity’ news has now passed from us. No great loss but it did provide 13-odd years of headlines and material for New Idea and the other celeb mags. As Swinish remarked, fish-and-chip shops will be the poorer for it. Nicole Kidman was not in the same league.
Posted by walterplinge on 2007 02 08 at 08:39 PM • permalinkOk, she’s 18, a single mother and a waitress in a chicken joint in Nowhere Texas. Clearly not going to make it through college and Mum isn’t going to send her for a private education. Dad won’t call up his old school pals for a job as a broker. What to do?
Did she make a good job of her life? I don’t think so but boy did she start at the back of the pack of advantages.

That is so great, I think I’m going to ask Mrs. Paco to stitch it on a pillow or something, or maybe make one of those needlepoint wall-hangings ("Honey, let’s take down that ‘No Place Like Home’ crap and put this up!").
#22 - I’d rather my daughter was a poor waitress than a glorified whore and stick mag fodder.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 02 08 at 08:49 PM • permalinkThere was a kind of inexorable trajectory to this sad life. Playboy model, enters world of drugs and extravagent waste, gold-digs octogenarian billionnaire, fights with family over the estate, son and new baby collide in weird life vs death scenario, finally all the grief and the angst are too much. The final chapter in her life was written years ago.
So she suffers no further shame, lets hope her body is not donated to the UNSW.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 02 08 at 09:20 PM • permalinkJust like her son she was surdered by Jew snakes.
Posted by eraserhead on 2007 02 08 at 09:43 PM • permalink#35 - “surdered”?
Is that murdered by sucking to death?
I didn’t know sucking to death was a Jewish ritual. Oy vey! The things you learn on the Internet....
Posted by Barbara Skolaut on 2007 02 08 at 10:06 PM • permalinkAnna was but a child herself when she became pregnan. I don’t anything of her background, but an old man found her beautiful and offered her a life she could only have dreamed of. He stuck it too to his sons and he was happy in his last year. How much worse was it for her to marry him than spend her life as a hooker or fast food waitress.
I wonder how many would have not leapt at what was offered in HER circumstances.
In life I had no interest in her antics &I wondered why it made me cry on hearing of her miserable death. Who are we to judge her and how much anguish she must have suffered after her son’s death at her bedside. A difficult enough time emotionally after the birth of the baby for any woman.Poor little babe now not only will never know her mother but in all probability not know her father either.
I do hope that she gets to be brought up by some caring people and money made out of her mothers death or inheritance is placed in trust for her little girl and the man/men in ANNA’S life do not get their paws on any of it.
RIP poor, sad, Anna Nicole Smith
How touching that you feel a fast food waitress is on par with being a hooker.
Denny’s must really be a den of iniquity.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 02 08 at 10:39 PM • permalinkStudents in The University of NSW School of Anatomy must be praying they get this donation…
"RIP poor, sad, Anna Nicole Smith”
I agree. I read some biographical details of her life (which I assume are true). Sounded like she had a pretty tough time of it.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 02 08 at 11:34 PM • permalinkThere’s always talk about female gold diggers who marry rich old men, but not much about the old men who make a habit of marrying young girls and women.
I feel very sorry for Anna Nicole Smith. She didn’t appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed, living a rather sad life in which she seemed to be used and misused by men.
Odd that her son died under strange circumstances not so long ago, that she’s now gone the same way and that the money awarded to her after years of litigation will now be inherited by a baby who’s being fought over by two men who came out of the woodwork at the same time as the funds.
I hope there’ll be some investigation. Most women I know feel great sympathy for her.
#45 No such thing for any of us, in the long run.
Posted by Not My Problem on 2007 02 09 at 12:44 AM • permalinkShe was never going to die in a car accident with those airbags.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 02 09 at 01:32 AM • permalink#53- reminds me of a bumper sticker National Lampoon had years ago, which read “I Brake For Jayne Mansfield’s Head".
The occasion gave free rein to the pseudonymous savagery which passes for informed commentary on the web.
Cruelty online
Such cruelty contrasted with the tone of respectful shock used in blanket coverage of her death on cable television.

yeah, but where do you find a woman like that?
/checks over shoulder to make sure wife is watching cricket…
Habib, like Paco, it is a crime that you are not published.
So she was an unwise woman who wanted to be rich and famous, did what she could to get that way and now has paid the price.
What did she do to harm any of you apart from intruding on your consciousness via the news media from time to time?
When PhatPhil and others like him die I won’t be sorry. But I feel sorry for that poor, sad woman.
This sad event attracted approximately 87 or so comments in to-days online Melbourne Herald. The one comment that struck me, was the ‘sagely’ and might I say, ‘deep’ bit of prose, from a scribe from Broady, who I might add, was putting a plug in for a certain cult and its most loving and tolerant way of life, that they are determined, that we in the West will surely follow, when Hell freezes over. I quote;
“If this women had followed the Islamic way of life, she would not have been dead now. She would have not been doing the drug, doing the drink and would have been dressed modestly”.
Well, apart from the way she chose to dress, (her business) thanks for the heads up, and the advice. Now sod off.“If this women had followed the Islamic way of life, she would not have been dead now.”
Nah, she would’ve been honor-killed years ago...or stoned to death by the mad mullahs.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 02 09 at 06:45 AM • permalinkConflicted.
My first response was pretty much John Donne.
But then I remembered some of the accounts of how she treated those in her life. The sugar daddy that she didn’t even have the decency to spend the wedding night with, ranks first and foremost (talk about not getting your money’s worth). Some or perhaps all of the rest was just scuttlebutt. However I do not rejoice but then again neither do I particularly mourn.

Yeah, I understand the SMH usually reserves its deadly jokes for Israeli civilians, U.S. troops and past, and undoubtedly future, Republican (former) presidents.

When the rain set inPosted by stackja1945 on 2007 02 09 at 08:35 PM • permalinkGood editorial in The New York Sun about ol’ Anna Nicole. Excerpts:
“… she appeared to be having her way with the best lawyers and jurists in the country. At the time, she had just won a ruling from the U. S. Supreme Court that was remarkable not only for being unanimous but also for opening up, at her behest, huge swatches of probate law to future questioning…
“What the Supreme Court did was credit her strategy in moving the claim out of the Texas probate courts, where she was roundly defeated…
“There are those who reckon the Supreme Court, dazzled by Vickie Lynn Marshall’s mind, failed to appreciate how far they had skated, in an opinion written by Justice Ginsburg, onto thin ice, with the danger of plunging the federal judiciary into an area of the law, probate, it’d long avoided…
“… it was a remarkable legal drama, one that had, somehow, a character that reflects one of the wonderful things about America, where many of our great Supreme Court cases have been brought by modest persons, some of whom were criminals, some righteous, some just stubborn, and some just smarter than the other side reckoned.”
Let’s face it, how many thousand of girls with Anna Nicole’s natural assets stay as small-town waitresses? It’s not that easy to be as successful as she was and marry an elderly billionaire (he said from experience) when you’ve got busloads of other golddiggers in line with their kneepads ahead of you. You’ve gotta have some brains somewhere.

I feel sorry for her 5 month old daughter. That kid, well, actually her potential wealth, really, is going to be fought over by laywers for years.
