Remembering Anna ... Naked

Posted Apr 6th 2007 12:18PM by TMZ Staff

Playboy, responsible for shooting Anna Nicole Smith to fame, will pay tribute to the late Playmate in its May 2007 issue, which hits newsstands today.

Anna, the May 1992 Playmate of the Month and 1993 Playmate of the Year is on the cover, and is the subject of a 10-page pictorial inside which, asserts Playboy, "showcases some of her most stunning Playboy photos from over the years." Translation: she ain't got no clothes on!

The "collector's edition" also features personal anecdotes and vignettes told by the Playboy editors, photographers, stylists and staffers. Playboy TV will honor Anna with "Playboy Remembers: Anna Nicole Smith," which premieres on April 11. And, to complete the homage, Playboy.com will post an exclusive video commentary from Hugh Hefner on the life and loss of Anna Nicole.

It's all the naked Anna you can handle.

2. Hmmm, Kudos to Playboy for paying homage to Anna but still might seem a little creepy to see a naked Anna some 20 years ago knowing what has come of her today. P.S. First!

3. WOW!! I bet they'll sell alot of playboy's for this issue!! LOL!-
-Does Howard get a cut?

Posted at 12:31PM on Apr 6th 2007 by Howard is a freeloader -still!!!!!!!

4. .......... and just WHO is benefiting from this 'love fest' from Playboy?? (Plus another interesting question ..... what happens to those melon size implants as she decomposes??)

5. I could be wrong but I wonder how much Howard made off of this. Doesn't Playboy have to pay royalies? Who did they pay it too? Somethings up?????

7. LOOKS LIKE "HEF" IS GONNA HAVE HIMSELF A NICE RE-DO ON HIS GROTTO WHEN HE'S DONE COUNTING UP ALL THE MOULA FROM THIS "SPECIAL" ISSUE.

8. Yes, I would like to know too if HK$ is benefiting. How can we find out?

9. Good thing to do Playboy! But why don't you offer some help in trying to get to the truth ? For starters help Larry get that baby from that creep and his family; boy they give me the creeps - a grown man living in another man's house who doesn't want him there, and kidnapping another man's child through fraud on a birth cert. Yea! that is what Anna wanted, but Anna had no mind of her own, she was kept drugged up by enablers! GET THAT BABY OUT OF THAT PRISON AND AWAY FROM THAT SLIMEBALL!

10. HEF IS SMARTER THAN HKS HE IS A TRUE BUSINESS MAN... ANS SOLD HER ROYALTY RIGHTS... ALL HER FOOTAGE AND PICS ARE THE SOLE PROPERTY OD HEF... HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY AND AT THAT TIME ANS WOULD HAVE SOLD HER SOLD TO THE DEVIL SOLONG AS MONEY AND FAME WERE IN FOR EXCHANGE... HKS WOULD NEVER DARE GO AGAINT THE PLAYBOY WORLD

11. MY HUBAND HAS HER ISSUE FROM 1993 THAT PLAYBOY IS SELLING FOR $1,000.00 AND EBAY SOLD ONE COPY FOR $25,000.00

12. I agree Jessica. Hef is heads and shoulders smarter than the murderer. He owns the rights to every photo that he ever took of her. Besides, she posed in Playboy well before she met the murderer. I think Hef is just trying to show her some last "respects". If you can even call it that.

13. Playboy is hoping to cash in on this one, big time.

They own the full rights to the pictorials and they do not owe royalties for re-issuing the photographs.

Every playmate knows this. I wouldn't be surpirzed though, if Hef doesn't make a contribution towards Dannielynn's education.

PS

I know this because I worked for Playboy in the contracts department for 6 years.

14. PLAYBOY owns all the rights to the photos and video they shot of Anna.....Howard will not get any $ from Hef.
It's just that She's hot right now....and everyone is going to cash in if they can. That's Capitalism....It's up to the public to say NO MORE and that's not likely to happen till the court cases have concluded.
As fart as Playboy is concerned, we'll have to wait and see how many folks still want to see old naked pics of Anna and read about "back in the day"....I really don't think it's about Anna anymore, it's about baby Dannielynn and JUSTICE prevailing!

Posted at 12:46PM on Apr 6th 2007 by STERNS an ASSHOLE!

15. HEF HAS MENTIONED THAT HE IS SADDEN BY ALL THIS BUT HE CLEARLY DOES NOT WANT TO GET MORE INVOLVED THAN HE WILL BY PUTTING THIS ISSUE OUT THERE AND HER MEMORIAL ON THE TV CHANNEL AND PROBABLY ON THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR...
