In yet another major twist in the saga of Anna Nicole Smith, this morning a Bahamian newspaper published two photographs on its front page -- showing the former TRIMSPA spokesperson in her bed with the Bahamian immigration minister, Shane Gibson -- the same guy who approved her application for permanent residency. 
While Smith appears to be clothed in the photos, the two are locked in a romantic embrace, "their faces only a couple inches apart."

Was any body concerned about her soul? No one tried to lead her away from all the drugs and have her lead a clean life. Let's pray for peace through this whole situation.

I don't know how you all can speak so evil of the dead.Anna's life was just that,her life.who are we to judge anyone?We all have skeletons in our closets. Only God can judge us for what we've done.How would you feel if someone spoke this way about your mother? or your sister ? maybe an aunt or cousin? The lady is dead.For Gods sake have some sympathy and let her rest in peace.Ii doesn't matter if we are black ,white or asian.God only see us as people.I understand that there are some of you that don't know the lord,so may God have mercy on you.I wouldn't wish this on any one.Rest in peace Anna.

Is this really Anna Nicole in those pics? It sure don't look like her and especially if it was supposed to be taken right after she gave birth. She didn't wear make up during that time. I think it is a smoke screen.
We all know that she was a notorius flirt and yes, even had lovers along the way. But...she made herself known as being the dingy flirt who for some unknown reason, we all liked and cared about. She loved her son more than life itself. I think Howard was definately an enabler to her problems but he didn't want to lose whatever sick type of relationship they had. She loved him cause he took care of her, not because she was deeply IN LOVE with him He was deeply in love with her and very well may have snapped when she fell into her depression over Daniel. I don't care what anyone says, I liked her silly ways and antics. Sometimes she took it too faar but she was totally innocent in very many ways. Howard I don't trust.

Anna Nicole did and said things that usualy did'nt set well with others but her child should not be bothered with that it will be embarrasing enough when the poor kid grows up to hear all this.It's gross that "they" are carying her dead decaying body around fussing over who's got better dirt!
JUST PUT HER IN THE GROUND!!!!!

Is there anybody watching the baby appointed by the law? Howard was so desperate to get home tonight, what if he goes home and kills the baby and then himself? It happens all the time. They were not happy getting the California courts asking for DNA today, what if he freaks tonight? Not good!

Just a reminder to all humanity...
John 8:"Teacher," they said to Jesus, "this women was caught in the very act of adultery.Moses law says to kill her. What about it?
:They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. "They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, hurl the stones at her until she dies. But only he who never sinned may throw the first stone!
Question: Why do you worry about the beam in her eyes when you have a log in yours????
Prayer for Anna Smith. I sincerely hope you asked God to forgive you before you died, so that you could be reborn in heaven. At least there no one can throw stones at you. Forgive these hypocrates for they know not what they do.
Rest in Peace..

Fellow Canadian from London Ontario Canada:
I am so sick of seeing people claiming to be Anna Nicole's friends on Larry King, Nancy Grace and the rest of these news and tabloid channels when in reality they aren't. I believe one of their names are Jackie. Give it a rest!!! Stop making money off someone you call a friend. If she was really Anna Nicole's friend why is she now siding with her mother, the woman who Anna dispised? I don't believe she has been her friend for 15 years. I am so sick of seeing people on t.v who at one time may have known Anna Nicole or may have even been friends with her for a short period of time and are now profitting from her death and the death of her son! Wouldn't a real friend want to grieve away from the public's eye and not be calling tv stations to set up interviews? wouldn't a real friend support their friend's wishes? why would she want the woman who Anna Nicole hated most (her mother) to have her body when it is clear that is not what Anna wanted. STOP trying to make a name for yourself and start grieving the loss of your "so called best friend"!

I don't know about anyone else but that looks like some friends havin a moment doesn't look romantic in nature to me.
I do think that Howard enabled Anna and Daniel u I don't think he intentionally harmed them. Have any of you known a drug addict? Hard to fight that demon I know from experience.
Howard in his own twisted way loves Anna and she clearly wanted him part of that babies life or he would not be on the birth certificate. If you watch the last interviews with her she sure as hell did not want her mom involved with things.
Is today the day the were supposed to have a real marriage ceremony?

Well, even FOX NEWS is trashing ET's interviews with Howard & Anna! And Stern Pressures Larry TODAY to sign a deal!!
Howard K. Stern Plays Hardball With Larry Birkhead

Anna Nicole: Stern Pressures Larry to Sign Deal
Anna Nicole Smith's two baby daddies (I don't know what else to call them) continue to be in a tug-of-war this morning, even as their beloved cash cow is readied for burial.
Overnight, attorney Howard K. Stern â whose hold on the situation is starting to slip â has been strong-arming photographer Larry Birkhead to do a couple of things: keep Birkhead's legal reps out of Anna Nicole Smith's Bahamas funeral, sign a contract deal with "Entertainment Tonight" and acquiesce even further regarding the future of baby Danniellynn.
Stern, as I told you the other day, has already had one secret meeting with Birkhead in which he cut out the photographer's lawyers.
I'm told that Stern has kept up the pressure on Birkhead, actually presenting him with contracts, sources say, in which Birkhead would join Stern for more exclusive interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider."
"Howard wanted Larry to sign so that it looked like everyone was in agreement, and that it wasn't just Howard benefiting from these deals," my source said. "Larry said the baby's guardian should sign the papers for him and the baby, but he wouldn't. So then Larry wouldn't."
At the same time, Stern is trying to negotiate separately with Birkhead, away from his attorneys, to sign a deal by which Stern would continue to be in baby Danniellyn's life and oversee her finances.
Stern, my sources say, is working as quickly as he can to effect these agreements before he has to turn over the baby to Birkhead, her biological father.
Sources say that Birkhead's representatives are considering taking legal action against Stern's side to prevent further communication between the two sides as soon as today.
The problem, sources also say, is that Birkhead â a novice in these games â continues to be intimidated by Stern.
"Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," both owned by CBS Paramount Television, have denied paying for interviews. But I'm told their method â it's semantics â is to "license" footage either directly from Stern or through a third party.
Recently, "ET" used Solana Productions of Southern California in such a deal. Neither Solana or anyone from CBS Paramount answered calls yesterday.
Anna Nicole: Dead, and For Sale
Today, Anna Nicole Smith â a ridiculous person who accomplished just about nothing in her life â will be buried in the Bahamas.
There are several wars taking place all over the world, not to mention famines; artists are hard at work, movies are opening, buildings are going up, diseases are being investigated. But hey: Anna Nicole is being buried, and "Entertainment Tonight" will be there for every cheesy second of it.
That's because "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," two half-hour shows syndicated by CBS's Paramount TV, have paid a high price for this honor.
Real insiders (not the kind you have to pay for info) tell me that Paramount TV cut the deal with Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole's lawyer and Svengali, right after her son Daniel died of a methadone overdose in her Bahamian hospital room last September.
Paramount TV has denied this, somewhat passively, so far. But my sources say it they paid Stern around $3 million initially, and that this was renegotiated right after Anna Nicole herself died on February 8th of this year.
Of course, we could believe that Stern â who in court told clueless Florida probate judge Larry Seidlin that he was living off his parents â just loves "ET." Anything's possible.
But the reality is that Anna Nicole's death has proven to be a ratings-sweep godsend.
Linda Bell Blue, the show's executive producer, previously helmed Paramount's ugly tabloid show, "Hard Copy." For years she's had to sit through Mary Hart's tedious, publicist-arranged interviews with low-level TV stars, just waiting for this moment: a huge celebrity death, in a sweeps month, and already contracted for!
As recently as last night, "ET" correspondent Mark Steines was reporting "from inside" Anna Nicole's Bahamas mansion â no mention of the fact that it didn't belong to her, and that the landlord is kicking everyone out.
Steines had "the inside scoop" about the B-list country singer who would serenade Anna Nicole into the next life, the color of her burial gown ("pink!") and what would be inside the coffin (with any luck, Anna Nicole).
Steines performs these interviews â as he has since last Nov. 1, when he had his first "exclusive" after Smith's son, Daniel, d

Many people took advantage of Anna Nicole Smith and unfortunately it was mainly men.
Howard K. Stern and camp claims Anna Nicole Smith wanted to get away from the media and that is why she moved to the Bahamas. That is obiviously untrue because she appeared on Entertainment Tonight with Howard K. Stern. Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith sold her baby's pictures and her son's funeral pictures. Does that sound like someone who wanted to get away from the media. Now that Anna Nicole Smith has passed
what is Howard K. Stern purpose for staying in the Bahamas?
He need to find a job and a place to stay and provide sperm to some unfortunate woman
and make his own baby. It was very inappropriate for him to attack Anna Nicole Smith mom
at the funeral, although her actions was inappropriate as well, but understand she has
lost her daughter. Ron Rale the attorney is just as suspicious of a character.
Rest in Peace Anna Nicole Smith and know there were people who really cared about you.

Looks to me like just a pic. Leave it alone ppl. The only person this will hurt is the baby and the baby's family. We all have out opinions but let's not do this to the kid. She's innocent and all the money in the world can't replace what she lost. No matter what, It's obvious that a 'mother's love' meaning Anna and how losing her own child 'did her in" (with the help of 'howie' )
I would like to think this tragedy could dope slap and save just one drug addict into rehab to save themself. OR maybe dope slap one person into DUMPING a loser that's mooching off them be it male or female.
ANS caught amy eyes b/c the woman was truly beautiful, fat or thin she was beautiful and had the smile that made ppl stop and look, wtf? it's true. anyone who disagrees wouldn't be here writing about her.
She seems to have fallen to the evil one....... who I hope goes to the slammer for life (howie, i mean you howie--jail for you and the drooly good doctor who is a disgrace.
give me a break.
WHERE IS THE BABY? GET THE BABY INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY! JEESH.
I DON'T CARE WTF THE LAWS ARE, DSS HAS TAKEN KIDS AWAY FOR DUMB @SS NO GOOD REASONS AND IT'S ABOUT TIME BAHAMA AND USA SCOOP THE KID UP IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.
