This is the worst. I'm heartbroken.

I've been an Anna Nicole fan since day 1. As a young teenager, I used to clip her Guess Jeans ads and Cannes Film Festival pictures out of the paper and magazines and keep them in a little folder along with all of my pop star memorabilia. I watched her through her court cases, her E! show, her weight loss, all of it. And all because I actually LIKED her, not because she was a fun joke to be in on like most people seemed to think.

I realize that she lead a train wreck of a life, but the way that the press and various hangers on handled her daughter's birth and son's subsequent death is truly shameful. We may never know exactly what happened to her and why, but the loss of her son and the potential custody case of her daughter was probably more than she could bare. God rest her soul.

And it's refreshing to see so many on here paying their respects.

COLD SHIT I feel bad for the girl

Zsa Zsa's husband: I might be baby's dad

By NOAKI SCHWARTZ, Associated Press Writer


LOS ANGELES - The husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor said Friday that he had a decade-long affair with Anna Nicole Smith and may be her infant daughter's father.

The claim by Prince Frederick von Anhalt comes amid a paternity suit over Smith's 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn's father as attorney Howard K. Stern, but former Smith boyfriend Larry Birkhead is waging a legal challenge, saying he is the father.

"If you go back from September, she wasn't with one of those guys, she was with me," von Anhalt told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.

He said he would file a lawsuit if Dannielynn is turned over to Stern or Birkhead.

Von Anhalt, 59, and Gabor, 90, have been married for more than 20 years.

Gabor, a onetime sex symbol and star of such 1950s films as "Moulin Rouge" and "Queen of Outer Space," has been in declining health in recent years and suffered a stroke in 2005. She was partially paralyzed in a car crash in 2002.

Von Anhalt, who is Gabor's eighth husband, said he and Smith first met in the 1990s when Smith was still married to elderly oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. He said Smith approached him and Gabor at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

"She was a very big fan of Zsa Zsa and wanted to be like Zsa Zsa," he said. "She wanted to be a princess."

He said the two started an affair soon after, meeting over the years in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. For much of that time, he said, Smith urged him to make her a princess like his wife.

But short of divorcing the actress, he said the only solution would have been adopting Smith. Von Anhalt said he did consider that and even filled out adoption papers, but Gabor refused to sign them.

Can that GREASY BITCH shut her facehole up to save her life,,,just for a minute? Lord.

Here's a weird wrinkle in this whole story:

Yeah, Rosie seems to have foot in mouth disease. She was just saying that she was sick of seeing Anna on tv, and then she launched into her impersonation of her by slurring her speech. Similar to how she did Donald Trump. Well, now she won't have to worry about seeing on tv anymore.

I bet that's why Anna kept postponing the DNA test. She knew neither one of them was the father and that the father was actually a married man.

My personal favorite theory, and sit down you all, I think her own son was the daddy.

Speaking of Bobby Trendy, I just saw an interview with him today on the TV Guide Channel. He talked about how he appreciated Anna Nicole, and how she made him who he was today. It was very sweet, I could tell he had a decent relationship with her.

What`s wrong with you?


I`d like to think something good did come out of this; she`s now with her son in a much better place, and she finally don`t have to deal with people using her and making jokes.

psychodelicide said:

so did they make up after their spat or is he just giving penance cause she is dead?

How do we know shes in a much better place?

Now 'Prince' Frederick von Anhalt (Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband) is claiming he could be the father of the child as well, along with 30 others.....

R.I.P. Anna Nicole Smith

Hey folks, Harry here... This is a difficult obit to write. Not because I was a great admirer of Anna Nicole Smith, but because it is nigh impossible to discuss her life without reflecting upon the cult of personality that America's Media has become.

I can't say that I didn't notice her in THE HUDSUCKER PROXY. She was kinda hard to miss. In a different era - one where the desire to fill all 1000 cable network channels with an endless variety of PEEK-A-BOO theater, there would have been a place for the voluptuous Anna Nicole Smith. In figure and form she struck me as a callback to the shapely celluloid goddesses like Jayne Mansfield or Mamie Van Doren.

But in theaters - Anna was never groomed by a studio to take advantage of her va-va-va-boom figure to become the visual metaphor for great comedians to play off of.

Instead - her personal life became the foundation for her notoriety. Her lawsuits and tabloid play. She became a slow-motion trainwreck upon reality television. Nothing particularly harmful - but there was always something scary about her media attention.

When tragedy hit and took her Son, the frightening way that shows like ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT flocked to her - collecting every tearful moment - it turned my stomach. It is times like those that common decency would tell you TO PUT THE CAMERA AWAY. Yet there it was.

Could Anna Nicole Smith have had a serious career in film?

Not in this period. Studios don't craft and cradle the fragile emotional starlets as they used to. Even in the "good ol days" - the studios ate em up and spit em out. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

In the last month of her life - the jackals pounced. And I fear - she's left a daughter and a legacy that might follow that kid for the rest of her life. Unless the media can do the one thing that it should have done years ago. Let go.

I don't believe Anna Nicole Smith was an untalented media whore as so many will claim. There was a charisma there. I just feel it was tapped in all the worst ways and exploited in the saddest way it could be. Not merely by the big bad media, but by Anna herself.

But for now, all that debate is meaningless, all that speculation about where it turned wrong... well it's waste. She died young and hounded by the media she had flirted with for a goodly portion of her life. I doubt her death will be any different, though I hope for her family and her daughter's sake... and our own sanity, that it just stop. A life has ended. Have the common decency to let her and hers... rest in peace.
