Did TRIMSPA Hold Weight For Anna Nicole?

Anna Nicole Smith in front of Trim Spa billboardTRIMSPA, the company pimped by Anna Nicole Smith and credited for her spectacular weight loss, is claiming that their former spokesmodel used human growth hormone only for its anti-aging properties, even though it was described by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper as a "longevity/weight reducing medication."

In a statement to TMZ, TRIMPSA claims they spoke with Howard K. Stern yesterday, who told them, "Smith took human growth hormone since 1999 or 2000," but added that the hormone was used for its anti-aging properties -- not its slimming effects -- which are said to influence the metabolism of proteins, carbs and lipids.

In addition to Anna's fondness for HGH, she also indulged in another weight loss product -- Slim-Fast. The Broward County Medical Examiner stated that they found the diet drink on her nightstand in the Hard Rock Hotel room where she died, and TMZ memorably obtained exclusive photos of several cans of Slim-Fast and a family-sized bottle of methadone in Anna's Bahamian mini-fridge.

8. I am so sick of everyone saying What Howard said. Howard said this. Howard said that. Well I said Howard is a lier. Get real people. Plus do you think trimspa is bothering Howard right now. That would be the least of ass hole problems. Now listen up. Trimspa does not work. I know.

9. HMMMM -- me thinks Howard will continue to receive compensation for any advertising Trimspa may use which involves Anna. Though that would be corporate suicide for most companies - but than again, when people are at the end of the robe for an answer (to lose weight), I guess they would even use stuff that a DRUGGIE used. I don't think Trimspa's profit margins are going to be going through the ceiling however after this revelation from Howie.

10. Honestly who cares how she lost the weight she lost and looked great doing whatever she did to lose it, as for howard you are probably right he would not devulge information like taht because he did and still does care about anna's welfare, he has tried to do the best he can in keeping some of her private information fron getting out into the public, kodoos to him for doing so. everyone is so quick to blame howard for everything but look what he as done he has stood by anna for years with no real money gained, she kept him by her side all these years she could have dumped him for someone else a long time ago, but you guys want to know the real reason why she kept him by her side for all these years because no matter what she did or whom she did it with howard never judged her, he was there for her!!!! lets all not forget that he and anna did have a commitment ceremony in front of god and witnesses and the fact that they were getting married the week she died if she did not want to have nothing to do with howard or thought thta howard was causing her harm she had what like 15 years to get rid of him c'mon people wake up.

11. #10 Howie never judged her - he was always there fore her - had a commitment ceromony in front of god and witnesses - Polar 521

Oh my, you just need to keep you thoughts to yourself child!! Though I am glad to see you spell god will a small "g", as that was how important He was to those two. Yeah, Howie stood by while Anna killed herself (and her son with drugs), avoided her legal responsiblities, acted like a whore in public and refused to bond with an infant daughter (thinking it was ok to starve a child so she would look "sexy"). He didn't judge her because she was willing to participate in a commitment ceremony while she was stoned out of her mind. I think Howie needs some "self-esteem classes" -- don't you? Or maybe being employed and earning your own money would help with that?

13. Polar 521 - you have one thing right...who does care how she lost the weight, she did look great. But as far as Howard goes, that is where you have it all wrong. The reason why Howard was in the picture so long...because Howard was an enabler to her...wake up and watch the videos of Anna slurring her words, and guess who's behind the camera...HOWIE baby!! Is that the type of person you would want in your life? Duh, of course he was there for all those years...she used drugs and people who objected to her drug use were thrown out of the picture...he never objected, he went and picked up, etc. etc. He truly might have loved Anna, but he didn't love her enough to surround her with people to do an intervention for her...whether she said so "NO" they should of done something - especially after all that was going on with the birth of her daughter, the death of her son. That poor girl had no time to enjoy or mourn...within three days her world went from happy to darkness...that is where she needed professional help, not giving her drugs. I know, I've been an enabler...but I woke up, because I wanted the person in my life to live and this person has been living sober now for years. When someone is addicted to drugs, they will do anything to keep the objectors out and the ones who turn the other cheek in. As far as the committment ceremony, yeah that was a committment for Howard to still stay the enabler he was. I'm sorry Anna's death was senseless and this didn't have to happen. I still feel someone should be held accountable for the drugs that were provided to her.

14. Those here claiming she looked so great the death report shows she weighed 180 lbs !

15. "Smith took human growth hormone since 1999 or 2000,"

Hmmm.. that would have made her the age of 31 or 32 at the time..
Yeah, she's REEEEAL old, and most people that age start the
anti-aging worries.............NOT!
Tell us another lie Howie!!!
