Remembering Anna ... Naked

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 Nicole Smith
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.

91. I agree with #83 - Anna would be pleased to finally see herself portrayed with class once again and in a positive light. The respect she so longed for and could not get during her association with HK$.

92. Hef has respect for Virgie. that sort of shows him to have true class.

Hef loved his own mom quite a lot, too.

93. As an added note, I think the graphic designers at Playboy did an awesome job on this cover.. It's beautiful. Her favorite color pink so delicately and softly gives a sense of a clean, fresh Anna Nicole Smith.

95. You know I would like to point out that Vickie had the Olympian attitude she just kept going she was a survivor. How many of us would have if we could have gone to Playboy and become the playmate of the year? Or become the Guess model of the year that every single person became enamoured with or become the last wife of a billionaire? Not many there are a select 10% of the population who has this winning quality and she definitely had it and than some. The only thing I will say it is too bad that during those winning years no one thought of making sure that she had a life coach to coach her into positive situations instead of the negative. She did not have the skills needed to survive the media or how to handle it or her private life because of where she came from. Her mother was her only example of how to live, her father had abandoned her who was she supposed to turn to for wisdom after her husband died? She really had no one except the very people who made her what she was,and the people that discovered her, wrote a book called Great Big Beautiful Doll, that book was not positive instead of doing what they could they sold her out too, they could of sought help for her but they chose to ignore it and write a terrible book they even sided with the Marshalls the wife of the team hated her in the end because supposedly Anna made a pass at her. It was not Vickies fault she did not know better she had no one to model after.
In light of recent events don't judge too harshly of Howard Stern he was and so was Kimmy her only real friends that she could count on. When you lose a child, you lose a part of self that is never returned, you are gone, maybe it was in the doctors wisdom that they medicate her so that she would be not so emotionally paralysed and be able to deal with the baby. Yes the baby, we keep forgetting about her and how Anna had to deal with that and a ton of legal situations, plus the paternity. I think Larry Birkhead should be sued for stressing her out because of what she went through after Daniels death it was not right there was a better way to deal with this Larry than going to prove you were the sperm donor. She had enough, she made mistakes like we all do, and no one is perfect least of all us who are judging her or what she did or did not do. I agree with Heffner to do this memorial of her she was absolutely breath taking in her beauty, and the only problem was she did not value herself enough to go on. Howard and the Stern family God bless you all for taking on so much and taking care of that baby. I do not see anyone else protecting her name or doing anything to calm it down cept Howard. Remember each time someone dies, someone loses a friend, parent, mentor etc who did you lose recently and recount in your mind how you felt about this person. Thank you Heffner for make this possible.

98. No wonder the United States has the HIGHEST rate of *serial killers* in our country way above those in ALL other countries - we are strictly a Capitalistic nation now - without the thread of Socialism running in our society as it did years ago.

Our society PRODUCES serial killers, child molesters, and the sociopathic personality - ALL of which is about *self-gratification* without any thought towards another human being, therefore, corruption and indecency prevail! A human life is seen as an OBJECT (Dannielynn). CAPITALISM reflects the degradation of human beings for monetary capital gain. It reflects the attributes of a sociopath, which include NO moral standards, ethics, compassion, TRUE justice, and respect towards another human being! As with the sociopath, CAPITALISM has NO conscience and feels NO guilt towards members of their society!!

WE live in a PRESUMED Democratic nation - but yet, the majority does NOT rule in this country!!! Religion has been taken out of our American public schools and football fields for instance, ALL because this serves the BEST interest of our Atheist "faithless" MINORITY population!!! This is NOT a *True* Democracy - this is ONLY an illusion of Democracy in our society!!! Violence, greed, corruption, pornography, and vileness, grows in leaps and bounds NOW in our nation -thank you atheists for getting your way - NOT!!!!

HOW long will the American people be BLINDED by darkness!!!!!!

GOD BLESS our nation & CLEANSE us of this *Evilness* that surrounds us!!!

100. You guys really need to search your souls and stop all of this grade school backstabbing. Do you have any idea how you come across to someone that happens to read a blog now and then. Guess what impression you give of yourselves and one would think about how you must look, how you treat your family members, how you interact with your kids and especially how judgemental you are. You thrive on any piece of gossip you hear and you run with it. Do you not realize the sour grape attitude the cable news channels have displayed because one channel that has been a part of Anna's life for years got the exclusive. Do you really not believe that Greta would have praised Stern if he had offered her the exclusive and so would any other affiliate. No one really knows what happened or why. Maybe Stern is holding out because he is not the father and neither is Larry. Just maybe he is protecting the baby from a one night stand and someone that would not be very good for the baby. You keep saying the real father should have the baby and has the right but you don't really know who that is. Be careful what you wish for. If I have offended anyone by my judgement of what type of a person I think you are, then I apologize but now you know how all parties involved feel. What goes around will come back around and you may find yourself or someone you love in a very difficult situation and get a first hand feel of being prejudged. After all, it is pure curiosity and not really that you care about a baby you have never personally seen or met. If that were true you would be outside of crackhouses and orphanages begging for help for real children who have no future. Pure SENSATIONALISM.

Anna Nicole Smith Saga & Natalee Holloway: Bahamas Now Aruba?
By Keith Walters Jones
Apr 6, 2007




After Anna Nicole Smith's son died in the Bahamas the entertainment world mourned with her. A cloud still surrounds the death of Daniel Wayne Smith with no satisfactory answer to exactly what happened and an inquest has been scheduled to continue to look for answers of exactly where the drugs came from that ended Anna Nicole's son's life so tragically at age twenty. And now that a paternity test to determine the biological father is also dragging out and many are whispering and wondering about how justice works in the Bahamas.


Anna Nicole Smith, Her Son's Saga and Natalee Holloway: Bahamas Now Aruba?

Many are looking at the island nation a bit like Aruba, where the Natalee Holloway case never found any answers and finally just went away unsolved. Has the Bahamas now morphed into Aruba?

***

Many are also blaming the country for capitalizing on the death of Daniel and Anna. Few are satisfied that the paternity of Dannielynn is yet known and the serious questions that surrounded exactly how Anna Nicole got her citizenship when Shane Gibson -- the same guy who approved her application for permanent residency was photographed in bed with Anna and that was splashed all over the front page of the Tribune of Nassau.

A letter to the editor at Caribbean Net News from a travel agent from a person idetified as Jan Kessler said, "I run a travel agency in the USA, and I have many people asking me to boycott the Bahamas, which I am more than happy to do. I have been sending out blast emails to people to encourage them to boycott the Bahamas until justice is served."

103. So I ask again and I wish someone can pls just tell me what is so great about Larry??? One minute he was in the background suing Ashley Judd and begging Anna to be her photographer and now he is father of the year??? I dont get it. Why is Larry so great in your eyes? I don't think Howard is evil, he did not try to stop her drug use, but Larry himself said if Howard tried to stop her from using drugs, she could easily replace him. Also Larry did not try to stop her drug use, so they are both enablers...right??? Also I am SO stubborn and if Anna was as stubborn as I am, no one can tell her what to do. She was an adult and made her own decision. Also her drugs were written in other people's name because she is a celeb and wants to keep her prescription medication use under wraps...this does not ound strange to me. The pharmacy can be a revolving door and it will be very hard to keep such information from being leaked. Makes sense right? I think Virgie failed Anna to be honest with you, she should have fought tooth and nail to get her the help she needed, I know my mother would have and would have never given up on me. Now I know most would say she took her to the betty ford center..ONCE... addicts will most likely relapse and where was virgie when she did???
