Poor Anna...we will miss your beautiful rack. Seriously though, they were bigger then her head! Some great tits died today....
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ,WHO PORTRAYED HERSELF TO BE SOMEONE SHE REALLY WAS NOT TO THE PUBLIC . THE SAME AS MARILYN, LOOKIN FOR THAT ONE THING THEY NEVER FOUND. NOW SHE IS WITH HER SON ,HER HEART WAS BROKEN , THAT SAD DAY , i TRULY BELIEVE SHE FOUND HER HAPPINESS, AND THAT WAS WITH HIM.
I'm still in shock over the sudden death of Anna Nicole. It just shows how money and fame do not guarantee happiness. Afterall, we do not know evrything about her personal life and obviously she is human too and couldn't handle her tumultuous life anymore..very sad...
It's amazing how the same media which was bashing ANS for the past years, now have remembered her good deeds and even are all portraying her in the best press NOW-but it's too late TMZ and the gangs. At least if you ever complicated her while she wa alive
How come poeple never appreciate someone while alive and do so when they are dead?
I lost my son at about the same time Anna lost her son, then all the bloggers were saying she was not a good mom, and I felt so bad for her because we were going through the same thing, my son was also 20. I mentioned then in the comments that she was a product that she sold to the public, but above all she was a mother and she loved her child, and you can die of a broken heart. I was told by my grief counselor that the first year of a childs death is the most vulnerable time and that you are at a higher risk for death yourself. Please pray for her soul pray that she is reunited with her precious son as I hope to one day be. Pray for her daughter who will never know her mom and brother. God bless you Vicki.
This is just devastating news. Condolences and sympathies go to the people in her life that *really* loved her, which I think Larry Birkhead was one, and that little baby. I hope they can find some peace, and I hope that she has found a happy place in the next phase of her very misguided life. At least she is no longer in pain.
I'll miss reading about her, but at this point in time, I am sorry that I ever was one that thought it was funny. It really wasn't funny at all.
RIP Anna.
Anna, now you can see your angel Daniel in Heaven, away from all the stress here on earth.
I hope your baby is safe in the arms of someone that will truly care for her.
I know there is so much more to your story and I hope that God brings justice to you and your family. Life wasn't easy for you and you fought to give you and your son a better life, for that, you paved your passage to heaven,
Rest in Peace, you will be missed.
I feel as you do, Sandy. Although I don't think I ever laughed at one crass joke made by the posters here, I did many times defend Anna as well as Howard.
It never did much good. The "mobsters" as they referred to themselves, would gang up on anyone who said a kind thing about Anna Nicole or about Howard K. Finally, all of the good posters went away and TMZ was left with the same narrow-minded, opinionated posters that they, themselves, perpetrated and silently condoned.
This IS TMZ's website, after all, and they sort of set the standards. And, for the record, they're doing nothing to redeem themselves: their headlines are still inflammatory, derogatory and insulting towards Anna, even after her tragic death.
The life and death of Anna Nicole Smith is what great tragedies are made of. It's almost poetic. I wonder how long before the movie is made. Who will play Anna? Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton?
Hey Bettie, it's a sin to say things like that after someone's death, and to say that about an innocent child, you must not have a soul.
Please Shut up.
You make me sick and no one would care if you died, you are full of hate and envy, that's a sin too, shame on you!

Anna Nicole was human just like the rest of us. Sure, she was goofy from time-to-time, but that is what made Anna herself. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and I will always remember her. R.I.P., Anna.
I admired Anna for her "Go f**k em" attitude. She said on her reality show, that she was laughing all the way to the Bank. God Bless her soul.

All the comments on Anna Nicole Smith are now MOOT.
the thing is that she be at peace and with Daniel.
Reports say she never got over his death?
Question? why was a nurse travelling with her?
Who will plan her funeral, since she is estranged from her
family?
the autopsy is to be done Friday ...the results wil lshow if she
mixed drugs, had a heart attack or heart failure .or the fever
she had for the past days, did her in with some kind of infection.
It is now time to turn the light out on all the comments we have been making and just pray her daughter is brought up properly and does not have to work in strip clubs in the future.
PEACE BE WITH HER
I hope that Larry Burke gets custody of that little baby girl. he is sooo not about the money. He just wants his daughter. Howard has been up her ass ever since he knew that she would be inheritating that money. He is so dopy looking. Mark my words...Larry is the father!
Anna, rest in peace. Your beauty, and love will live on through your daughter. May you get the much needed rest, and peace you deserve. You and Daniel are together again, among the angels.. Your painful days are over.
