Anna Nicole

My friends and I love to talk about pop culture. It's our hobby! While others might be ranting about Sunday night football or arguing politics, we are on the subject of Kevin Federline. But in this case, Anna Nicole. I found out from my sister and best friend through text that Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead hours ago. The news stations are going crazy with live interviews from friends, buisness aquaintences and I have no doubt by the end of the evening Larry Birkhead. He is this blonde fame-hungry photographer who used to "date" Anna. He has persistently claimed that he is indeed the father of her 6 month old baby. He has been on News show after news show accusing her of drug and alchohol abuse while pregnant. There has been a US court order for her to submit her new daughter to a paternity test. She has rebuttled by moving to Bahamas with her new husband, lawyer (and self-proclaimed father to disputed baby) Howard Stern. He has no relation to Radio Talk show host. In Bahamas the law states that if a woman is married legally than her husband can be considered the father of any children that she has. Quite an effective retaliation. But there's even more to this saga! Her 20 year old son died three days after Anna gave birth to her daughter. Drugs including Methadone were found in his system. Anna was extremely close with him and often said, "He is all I have."

Birkhead didn't even wait for her son to be buried before he began bashing her to the media. Making violent claims and threatening to take away the one thing that could possibly help her get through this time.

Anna's speech is constantly slurred. Reports of friends witnessing her drug use continue to surface. I would be unbelievebly suprised to find that she is ever sober.Obviously, I do not condone a mother to have custody of a child while on drugs.
Her cause of death has been listed as cardiac arrest. Many can and have safely assumed that drugs will be found in her system.

Birkhead was on E News last night, again. He had taped a number of phone calls with Anna that made her look less than "motherly". They were all heard on E. He had found a very close girl friend of Anna's and convinced her to come forward with negative accusations.
I'm left wondering what correlation Birkhead's last attack on her in the media had with her choice (that's my guess so far) to put her body in such danger. Would she even had known his plans and intentions this far if it weren't being spewed from the 6:00 news (hey it's what I consider "news".
While I watch her body being roughly rolled in to the coroner under a large red blanket (thanks to the MSNBC's helicopter footage), I can only wonder one thing. Someday her daughter Dannilyn will get old enough to want to know more about her mother. Among all of the thousands of photographs, Guess jeans advertisements, and even Anna's reality show, will this be the last image of her mother that forever stays in her mind?
