Anna Nicole Smith Dead at 39

[Howard]

Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — jeans model, Playboy centerfold, widow of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.

She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.

At least she'll be reunited with her son.

Holy whoa! I'm speechless. I honestly don't know what to think.

[GrimTheLost]

That caught me off guard. Wow.

[Crash-N-Cortex]

Quite unexpected indeed.

sudden but not really that unexpected. Come on people, five bucks says OD.

It's a suspected drug oversdose and I am NOT surprised. Women like Nicole set terrible and disgusting examples of what can happen to a woman in the limelight. I can't even begin to imagine what her daughter will think of her once she's old enough to know the troubles her mother had in life, most of which can not even be mentioned in this forum.

Honestly, she always disgusted me. And I'm not even sad to know she's now dead. It makes me an awful person, but that's how I feel.

You know, like her or not have some freaking respect for the dead. Her daughter's not going to have a mom now, her husband's heartbroken, and the only thing good to come out of this is that now she's with her son. It's devastating to lose a son, in the limelight or not, and she was DESTROYED when he died. That couldn't have been good for her health. If it was an OD, then it's a horrid way to die.

Seriously. I didn't like her, never thought that she was all that, but I still don't go and bash the poor woman after she died.

Sorry, but I'm with CG on this one. It's sad that she died, I suppose, but I really never regarded her as much more than a parasite. I won't miss her, and I fail to see why I should show her any more respect in death than I did in life.

No way I'll take that bet!

I saw this the second it broke, I really liked follwing her... She was nice.

[One Radical Dude]

I saw this earlier, when I was checking my email. Wow, I definitely didn't see that coming at all. I didn't care for her at all, but dang.
