The Lights AREN'T On and Anna Is Home

Anna Nicole Smith had her power turned off on Friday, and it wasn't pretty.

The drama played out in the Bahamas, where Smith has been living with her newborn baby and attorney Howard K. Stern. Smith's former "friend," G. Ben Thompson, claims to own the property and wants her out.

Last Friday, Thompson contacted the power company rep to pull the plug.

Without warning, Anna had no juice for her hairdryer, no power to watch herself on "E.T." -- nothing. Four hours later, after lots of threats from her lawyer, the power company agreed to a temporary reprieve until today.

But wait, there's more! Thompson and his son-in-law flew to the Bahamas on Friday and the son-in-law got on the property and served Smith with an eviction lawsuit. We're told Smith ran back inside the house and then appeared on the balcony and, in classic antebellum style, began screaming: "You get off this property. This is a gift and I ain't ever leaving. And I'll show you, Ben, you ain't never gonna see the baby again! You did a declaration for that f***head Larry Birkhead!"

For the record, we're informed that Smith told Thompson back in May that he was the father, only to learn that it was impossible because he had a vasectomy several years ago. Birkhead, Smith's former boyfriend, is currently suing to establish paternity.

We should know by the end of the day if Anna will be burning candles tonight.

76. Is it just me or does she seem as high as a kite everytime she opens her mouth? She looked as though she was ready to fall into a coma during her "wedding" and every time we have seen her since. I think that she needs an intervention not another "babydaddy" quickly!

77. She had a fake wedding, to a fake husband, and shes a fake mother, she may have givin birth to dannilyn, but she definitly isn't a mother by any stretch of the imagination. A real mother would not sell the last pics of the son she proclaimed to love so much, to the highest bidder..Shes a media whore at best. And I truly hope Larry B. gets that poor little girl away from her drug-addled mother, and fake father..

78. I do agree with most of the posts on here, but.......I think what we should be doing, instead of calling her names and being h8ful is perhaps going to her website or even here on TMZ and advising her, no encouraging her to get some psychiatric help asap. She obviously needs it and being negative towards her isn't helping. It's awful that this has turned into what it has, but if we look back on ANS' childhood, she had a pretty tough time of it. She did what she had to, to make money and maybe she made some wrong choices, but it still all stems from her fricked up parents. All I saying is we should really try to encourage her to get professional help asap instead of all the could, woulda shoulda's and the hate rhetoric. Maybe if she did finally get professional help, she would finally 'see' what she has been doing to herself and to others as well. Then we might see a new ANS. hell, she might really surprise us if she could just get that help she so desperately needs. Yeah, karma sucks but you deal with it and move on. She is at that point right now. Karma is far from done with her but she can make a positive in her life if she wants to or even if she has to be forced to. I'm talking intervention. I would rather see her straighten herself out and take cae of her new baby as she has lost a big part of her already with Daniels death. She is incapable of making good and sound decisions right now. Someone needs to step in and try to get her the help she so desperately needs. Thats my 2 cents worth. Let's try to give her some positivity whether you think she deserves it or not, and we'll see what she does with it and what happens once she gets that psychiatric help. The woman is so messed up right now, and as a social worker, it's hard for me to watch someone, anyone for that matter, go through this. So Anna, quit being sh*tty and get the help you need from licensed professionals no matter how long it takes. Get off as many of the drugs as you can. I know you're opiate dependent, hence the methadone treatment. I deal with these same people on a day to day basis and their lives can be quite normal. You'd never know they took methadone unless they told you or you saw their med records. Anyway, I've said my piece and will now shut up. Anna and fellow TMZ commenters, do the right thing and encourage her to get the help she needs asap!!! - The Duke

79. Poor, pitiful AnnaNicole. I guess Bobby Trendy (remember "her") won't have MANSION IN THE BAHAMAS to decorate. She is the superb super trip. What an idiot. Let her live in the dark unless her pseudo lawyer can come up with the money for the electric bill. John

81. While I agree that Anna NEEDS psychological help, and NEEDS an intervention....
Who is gonna do an intervention on Anna?
Howard?
The Bahamian maid? nanny?
TrimSpa Goen?
Her Bahamian attorney?
Bobby Trendy?
Her designer friends?

Anna has NO Texas family that she lets into her life.
Where is Howard's family?

The addict does not voluntarily attend an intervention.
It has to be organized and sprung on the addict, by people who care about them.

Anna is not gonna go get help after reading blogs.
We bloggers cannot fly to the Bahamas and do a surprise intevention on Anna.

The blogs are just for everyday people to vent their frustrations at what they see Anna doing that is WRONG. It is not the responsibility of bloggers to see that Anna gets the psychological help she needs.

Anna's problem is that she has had too many people letting her get away with inappropriate, dishonest, hurtful, self-destructive behavior. She has had too many enablers.

82. Awwww just leave the poor lady alone. She did just loose her son, and now she's about to be homeless with a newborn. You people are cold hearted. Never wish bad upon anyone...what goes around, comes around. Karma remember???

83. I must say Duke...very well put. I for one am a substance abuse counselor in a residential treatment center AS WELL as a recovery heroin addict and this is the first time on this site I have given that information. I had 7 years clean and sober and that means not a drink not a pill on Oct 26th this year. I am one person that KNOWS first hand how a life can be changed. I got out of treatment, became a volunteer, went back to school (at 43 years old) became a Certified Addiction Specialist (just the fancy term) and here I am. However Duke...the first step is admitting there is a problem which I think she is oblivious to...as well as stopping. Not just 'some' of the drugs but ALL of the mood altering substances as that is the only way to allow the 'FOG' to clear. I do not believe this will happen until she gets away from those who enable her to continue her behavior. However my motto is "if I can do it, anyone can do it"!!!!!!

84. I totally agree with you, karma Babee.....thank you, and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out who can possibly help her get that intervention too. What it comes to is, she is the only one who can make it happen so I am going to encourage her to do so as soon as she can and regardless of whether she reads my dumbass posts or not. I'm trying to help, end of story. I hope it happens, but I won't get my hopes up. It just sucks having to see someone suffer like this. But, she brought it on herself, thats true. Like I said, karma's a bitch ( and I don't mean you, Karma Babee!! ) and in the end, you pay for what you've sown and reaped.

Well, I did my best and this will probably be the last comment I make on this sad case. I only wish them all the best and hope that ANS gets her sh*t together and does the right thing by getting the help she needs, especially for her new child. *sigh* - The Duke

85. Anna, darling.........I know I told you you would never work for me again, but I do have a heart. Leave that island and you can stay at my place in Miami while I'm in Europe. Just don't break anything or I will bust your ass faster than you can say TrimSpa Baby!!! Call me.........Ciao!!

86. Kikoke, I gotta give it up to you! Wow, sounds like you've been through the wringer and kudo's to you for admitting it here. It takes guts to go through what you did, but you're obviously tough and not a quitter and have made the right steps. I applaud you. I agree with you that Anna is oblivious to the fact that she does have a problem, I think she did realize the Oxcontin and whatever other opiates she was taking needed to go, which is the reason they ( meaning her doctors ) probably put her on Methadone treatment. Now, if she can cut that out of her life too, and also deal with all the other problems in her life, she might get somewhere like you did. I can only hope.

All 3 of my cousins in Las Vegas are heroin addicts so I know first hand what they go through and how damaging it can be. One is now dead from OD'ing, the other is about dead because she has been slamming heroin and meth and is now spitting up blood. She'll be next, I guess. I cry almost every night over this, because as a child, she was like an older sister to me, and now look where she is at. Thts a big part of why I am in the business I am. The other cousin has actually quit heroin and is on Methadone treatment now. I am trying to help him get through it. I don't need to lose him too. Anyway, I'll stop whining and airing my family skeletons here. Keep up the great work Kikoke and lets help as many people as possible. Thats what keeps me going. Oh, and Enablers! Thats another story entirely. Ugh!!!!! Thanks for responding to my post Kikoke and I appreciate any and all feedback from anyone else as well. Take care all - The Duke

87. Anna's attorney is a louse!
Buying another home will not solve the problem.

If the court rules against Anna in the home ownership, that means that she did NOT OWN a home worth at least $ 500,000 at the TIME that she fraudulently applied for permanent residency, and that residency which was granted should be REVOKED. Start over Anna ... not, just pick up where you left off.

She should have to REapply for permanent residency and claim ownership of a new home ..... and then also prove that she can "reside WITHOUT working" .... and that she has good moral character. She has to meet alllllllll of those qualifications, not just home ownership.

Buying a new home does nothing to clear up the questions about whether or not the Minister of Immigration did anything inappropriate by fast tracking the residency status and taking the $ 10,000 check.

Buying a new home does not resolve the FRAUD suit that has been filed against her in the Bahamas and if she is found to be guilty of that ..... there goes the "good moral quality" qualification.

If Anna buys another home ..... she is still NOT following the Bahamian law for granting permanent residency, and should not be granted any preferential treatment, above other Bahamian people who are forced to follow the law.

88. Yeah, KARMA BEE, I am with you 100%. Totally lost ALL respect for Mark S & Entertainment Tonight. (Besides, that footage was just gross & nasty & she was so out of it that it made your skin crawl.)

Also, I lost any admiration for ANS &her beauty when I saw that look in her eyes when talking about her mother. It looked like pure evil to me.

I know her mother shouldn't have spoken to Nancy Grace, but ANS made it worse. You don't diss your mother on television. That was for Howard to do, but not ANS. He should have defended his woman.

I heard on television that Daniel had six times the lethal dose in his system of methadone. Six times? Come on. That says something.

89. POsat #87 Donatella : If this is truly you. You are indeed a kind person. I am sure Anna will be needing al the work she can get if she is ever cleared of these impending charges she faces.

However, you might want to think twcie about having someone like that represent your exclusive line of clothing as a postive association with you. I think Kate Moss would be better at this time than Anna. Even Charlize Theron would be a much better choice. She evokes class, dignity and glamour. Which is a better reflection on your exclusive line of clothing

90. Thx Duke for your kind words, don't usually go there on these sites as sometimes with the stigma and all......well you know.

Anna sure has herself in a mess and to intervene is what perhaps her family or someone needs to do in fact it is what needs to be done. I realize she has cut her family ties but there has to be someone with the guts to not care HOW PISSED she gets and get her in to detox at least. I still do not believe some of the antics as far as selling pix etc but again all the sh-t comes with addiction. No boundaries, no sense, morals and values if there ever were any are gone when a person is active in their addiction. And just because a doctor prescribes it doesn't mean it is non-addictive and/or harmful, especially to someone who is obviously already an addict. Money money money is what gets doc's to give addicts rx's against better judgement. Just my opinion.
