Anna came to our Company as a customer, but she departs it as a friend. While life for Anna Nicole was not easy these past few months, she held dear her husband, Howard K. Stern, her daughter, Dannielynn Hope, her most cherished friends, beloved dogs, and finally, her work with TRIMSPA. Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she finds comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel.”

*Paramedic said that Anna was dead when he got to her hotel room.

The law states, “On the death of the mother of a child, the father, if surviving, shall, subject to the provision of this Act, be guardian of the child, either alone or jointly with any guardian appointed by the mother. ”

Smith named Stern as the father on Danielynn’s Bahamian birth certificate.

(4:08PM) *SPLASH NEWS posts this picture on their site, claims to have video of CPR being performed on an unresponsive Anna Nicole. I really REALLY hope this isn’t true…but it looks legit to me.

TMZ has full coverage:

*Anna Nicole’s former lawyer said she struggled with alcohol. Lenard Leeds said, “Anna always had problems with her weight going up and down, and there’s no question she used alcohol.” Leeds says it’s no secret that, “she had a very troubled life” adding Anna had, “so many, many problems.”

The former playmate often drew comparisons to another blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. Leeds said, “She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner.” Marilyn died at age 36 in 1962.

During Leeds’ years working for Anna, “she embraced all the media attention, but later in life it became her worse enemy.”

Okay, so I know something’s going on with the comments on the site.  Some of them are showing up – some of them aren’t.  I don’t know what’s going on.  I’m not deleting your comments (unless your name is Carla…and I totally AM deleting YOUR comments…don’t ask).  I am trying to figure out why the comments are taking so long to appear.  It’s really REALLY annoying, and I’m sorry. 

Just bear with me.  Your comments WILL show up, even if not right away.

(CNN) — Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead Thursday after being taken to a Florida hospital after being found unconscious in her hotel room, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case told CNN.

According to reports, Smith was found unresponsive in her hotel room.

**I am really – really sad about this.  I’m a mom – and I don’t know how I would ever get over losing my son. My gut tells me that she killed herself.  She’s got a lot of controversy circulating around her right now.  With the death of her son, and then the DNA drama with her daughter. It can’t be a coincidence that she has died just days before a court ordered DNA test on her daughter.

Her poor daughter.  I mean seriously…this is a sad ending to an already tragic story.

Eddie Murphy is the odds-on favorite to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but now some Oscar voters might be changing their ballots because of Murphy’s ridiculous-looking new comedy, “Norbit.” According to the L.A. Times, the over-the-top “Norbit,” in which Murphy exploits racial stereotypes (and not just black ones) might not be a fitting follow-up to his “Dreamgirls” role. “Every time I pass that billboard, it makes me sick,” says an Oscar consultant. And worse yet, is the fact that “Norbit” is drawing fire from black activists who don’t understand why yet another black male comedian has to play yet another morbidly obese black woman.

What do you think?  Watch the trailer for “Norbit” below…
