Rosie: Anna Nicole Was "Balloon Without Tether"

Click to return to TMZ.comRosie O'Donnell and her cohorts on "The View" had their first chance to address the death of Anna Nicole Smith, and while they took pity on Anna Nicole herself, they showed little mercy for Howard K. Stern or the entertainment news shows that paid her for those slurred, difficult-to-watch interviews.

Rosie, for her part, inflamed some viewers by imitating Anna Nicole unfavorably on Thursday's show, which was taped just hours before Anna's death. Today, lamenting the starlet's death, Rosie compared Smith to a Macy's Thanksgiving parade balloon without anyone to hold it back. She charged that Howard K. Stern had an "addiction" problem as well.

Meanwhile, Rosie let fellow comedienne Margaret Cho express her thoughts on Smith's death, posting Cho's own blog posting about the matter on rosie.com. In it, Cho compared Smith to "ripe summer peaches hot from the sun, or rice pudding made from grains boiled for over a day on the stove," and called her "the most beautiful woman I had ever seen."

77. Kalona,
YOU R SO FULL OF SH*T! If you had been following this story at all, you would know that HKS (THE A**HOLE OF THE YEAR) controlled anna like apuppet. Of course he wasn't stoned he had to stay lucid so he could controi anna and more importantly "HER MONEY!" Why the hell didn't he put her in rehab if he cared so much about her? well i'll tell you, it's becouse he wanted to keep her under his thumb and away from Larry. If it wasn't for HKS anna would have stayed with Larry and they would have raised Dl themselves. HKS was after anna for 12 years but anna wasn't interested in him. (I can't imagine why?) the guy would walk into her home like he owned the joint and barge into her bedroom when she was with Larry, how sick is this guy? he couldn't stand the though of anna getting by without his greedy hand being able to get all over her money, so when she got pregnant he stepped up his plans and basically kept her stoned off her face and forced her to leave the country and isolate her in the Bahamas away from the people who really cared about her, including her mother; whom I think was willing to put the past in the past for the sake of the baby, and maitain his hold on her until she died. I believe HKS killled Daniel, Daniel was wise to him and disliked him with a passion. Anna was getting worse to, her speach was so slured and she could hardly string two words together in the end, he really did a number on her. Howard K Stern IS PURE SCUM< A GREEDY SELFISH A**HOLE WHO IS LOWER THAN DIRT. I hope he is found guilty of Daniels murder and locked up for life.
F*** U HKS!

78. It sad this woman, she does have someone that going to take her body and buried her.Everybody is runing around everywere to collect her money. she does not deserve from view show to bash her. No celeberity should support the view, becuase one day they will accuse and bash you. Those middel age women on the view, do not have life except critizing eveyone.

79. All you white RACIST "crackers" attack one another while African Americans struggle together to make our lives better. I will never give up my fight to expose the RACIST. NO PEACE,NO JUSTICE!!!

80. Rosie is right. The people around Anna Nicole should have helped her instead of exploiting her. The balloon reference was in regards to it being held down by people or equipment on the street (The Macy Parade) and Anna was the balloon that was being let go and not anchored down. Also, Rosie had an excellent point with there being over 10,000 news and entertainment articles, and news reports, etc., since her death and over 460 US soldiers that have died since her death. Interesting analogies.

81.
Anna Nicole was not well. The people around her were not well. It reminds me of Elvis Presley.

85. I THINK THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNA WAS TRAGIC FOR HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND I FEEL THAT PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD CAN BE VICIOUS AND OPIONATED WHEN THEY SHOULD LEARN TO BE SILENT I HATED TO SEE WHAT SHE WAS GOING THRU IN REGARDS TO HER SON BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THAT TOURURE IS LIKE UNTIL THEY HAVE WALKED IN HER SHOES AS HAVE I I ONLY WHISH THAT THEY COULD ONCE AND FOR ALL SETTLE THINGS FOR HER BABYS SAKE AND LET HER REST IN PEACE

86. Thanks to Liam re: Rosie looks like a balloon . . . tethered to a desert tray. I have stopped laughing since. Exceptionally funny and what's even funnier is that it's true!

88. Rosie I am a loyal fan of yours, I love you and always will, but I am also a fan of Anna Nicole so you have to shut up on this one...as far as having baloons most of your friends have them too so don't be so nasty. Even Barbara had a face lift so let's not get into all of this stuff...

89. Say what you will about Rosie but she is the most informed and brightest one on The View - if she left, I would never watch it. The others are better than sleepeze - especially that annoying Elizabeth cutesy pie, know it all -

90. Rosie, is just voicing her opinion, so what? everyone does it . You know what she said was
true.Everyone who watched Anna Nicole, knew she had to be doped up.
