While I didn't think Anna Nicole was the best example for weight loss, among other things, as a mother myself, I was devasted for her when she lost her son, and in hearing about her death.
I hope for the sake of baby, and her partner Howard K Stern, that both are watched over, and that if the paternity tests ordered, show Howard K Stern not to be the father, that his family and friends surround him, as I don't know how much more that man can take, it would sicken me, in what must be a grief stricken state he must be in, to lose first Daniel, Anna and then Dannielynn, I know this is a just a blog off a website, but I really think that celebrity world and friends and family of Anna, Daniel, Danielynn and Howard need to surround Howard at this time, what they have all had to go through is just extremely tragic, but I think this could be more then Howard could take and heart goes out to him and Dannielynn who will never know her mother. I just hope that whoever Dannielynn ends up with that love her and never fail to mention as troubled as her mother was given the circumstances how much her mother loved her and tried to protect her, and that Howard K Stern get surrounded by everyone with love, support and guidance. They are all in prayers. Hopefully in the media, Danielynn and Howard get all the support and love they can because of this. May Daniel and Anna hopefully are together now and their souls are rested in peace.
God rest your soul Anna......I am so sorry about your passing but sometimes life is just too much and your life was an good example...mmay you rest in peace with your son...your in Gods hands now...and now you will be ok...rest the pain is gone...my prayers are with your daughter for she now will carry the weight...but I guess that is up to the machine we call fame...God rest your soul....
Very Very shocking and depressing. after enduring so much in her life it had to come to such a tragic end. My heart goes out to her new baby and Howard, who seemed to always be her "rock". God bless her lost soul and I truly hope she has finally found true peace.
I agree with Mrs Cooper regarding that now the media will turn Anna Nicole into a Goddess! For sure they won't laughed her anymore....medias...may Anna Nicole rest in peace and wherever she is now......be happy and be proud of what you done here....on this wonderful world....and I really hope for you that where you are now, there are no PAPARRAZZI and medias, etc.
R.I.P anna nicole, and what about that innocent baby first her mother then mother I wonder whose gonna raise the baby
#8 What universe are you living in?? Anna LOVED the attention, she thrived on it. The stuff she was doing created the attention, so don't blame the media.
Very sad.... but soooo strange how a self professed MARILYN MONROE dies in HOLLYWOOD, FL in JOE DI MAGGIO hospital.
"Truth is stranger than fiction"
I really enjoyed watching her carefree spirit. In my opinion she was a hell of a woman. She will truly be missed.
Hey TMZ. Love your site
Anyway, I just wanted to point out how weird it is that Anna would name her daughter Daniellynn and 3 days later DANIEL died. She named her daughter after her son, and then he died. It's almost like she knew it was going to happen.
r.i.p anna nicole
I can't say I understand it, or that I'm entirely shocked. Still, something rings strange about her death.
We're praying for her daughter. Poor baby girl.
This is truely sad such a beautiful person.Everyone used to make fun of her maybe because she was on antidepressants.Noone had any idea what she was going through,or what she went through in life.Part of me thinks she wanted to be with her son,so she may have did what he did.She probally couldnt handle her sadness anymore.I am sure howard stern feels awful (talk show host) for making fun of her.My heart goes out to her husband daughter and family.May you rest in peace anna
ANNA,
You were larger then life. You always said that Marlyn Monroe was your biggest role model, just like her you've died too young. You've always been in the middle of controversy, the press always poked fun of you. Accused you of being a golddigger, made fun of you when you put on a lot of weight after his death, then even after you lost the weight they couldn't be happy for you. SO they accused you of being on drugs. You've lived such a tough life. Loosing your precious Daniel, i know it devistated you. Everyone made fun of you and were very graceful about it. May you rest in peace with Daniel. You will continue to be in the center of the media...
Lisa, what planet have you been living on? People should rally together for Howard K Stern? R U kidding????? That sleezeball was only after Anna's $ and undoubtedly ws involved in Daniel's death and surely will be found to be involved in Anna Nicole's death.
Anna had a beautiful face, a quirky personality, and was definitely charismatic. Sadly, she would've never been able to get her life back together fter the deth of her son. May they rest in peace together. Hopefully Baby D will end up in the hands of her rightful father, Larry Birkhead.
I just pray her daughter is well cared for and does NOT turn out like her Mother nor her brother......I hope Danielle is placed into the hands of someone who can raise her quietly with dignity and love.......and NOT adopted ONLY for the money that comes from
her Mother's wild life. I would HATE to see the girl to grow up like her Mom......in the spot light of evil.....If Danielle can get through life WITHOUT drugs, wild sex, and super LOW self-esteem........then life will be GOOD.......Better than ever.......Go Danielle....PEACE be with you........
connie, first of baby's name is Dannielynn, not Danielle no one knows if she named the baby after her son died, as in jewish tradition like Howard K Stern is, we name after the dead.
While she loved positive media attention, she as well as a lot of celebrities get more then they bargained for. Given the fact that I am mother who has never lost a child, given the fact her mother seemed like a piece of crap, maybe she wasn't the best human being on the face of the earth, but she sometimes use her celebrity to help others, and did not deserve all the tragedy she had to face.
There are some celebrities that we love or we love to hate, but do not deserve the media scrutiny or public scrutiny since we haven't walked in thier shoes. So for you to dis the dead they day they die, as while I wasn't her biggest fan, I felt her sincereness when she lost her son and how much she loved her daughter, no one has lead a perfect life, just us regular folk arent constantly in the media, whether when they are looking for it or not. Shame on you for making such disrespectful comments about someone, anyone not only who died too early, but on the day the die!
