Anna Nicole Smith Dies at 39

After an eerie rant on yesterday's "The View" slamming Anna Nicole Smith, Rosie O'Donnell took to her blog today and characterized the starlet's death as ... loose change?
On rosie.com, O'Donnell reprinted what appears to be the headlines taken from the Drudge Report, where coverage of Anna Nicole's death has been the top story since yesterday, and added a line of her own -- "LOOSE CHANGE." It's unclear whether O'Donnell was referring to Anna Nicole herself or -- more likely -- her own inclusion in the Drudge headlines.
Speaking of yesterday's "View" rant, Rosie, in a case of deeply unfortunate timing, declared her disdain for Anna Nicole and her suspicion of drug use by the former Playmate -- just hours before her death. Today's "View" was previously taped, so Ro won't have a chance to speak out again til Monday.
Through her rep, Rosie tells TMZ that the death of Anna Nicole is "unbearably tragic."

I am getting really sick of Rosie. THE NERVE!

ME: BIG THINGS GOING ON IN THE NEWS. IF I HAVE TO SEE ANNA NICOLE SMITH ONE MORE TIME ON TELEVISION. THAT WOMAN AND HER PATERNITY TEST. .. AND SHE CAN HARDLY EVEN SPEAK NOW. SHE CAN’T EVEN SPEAK. SHE’S LIKE (I DO A BLANK AND MUMBLE INTO THE CAMERA) …YOU KNOW IT’S A TRAGEDY ALL AROUND. ..HER SON DIED. SHE HAS THIS LITTLE BABY. THERE’S OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF MEDICATION OR SUBSTANCE INVOLVED. I DON’T KNOW.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: THAT’S AN ODD SITUATION.
KRISTIN CHENOWETH: OR NOT INVOLVED
ME: OR NOT INVOLVED, EVEN WORSE. BUT IT’S SORT OF LIKE DISTRACTING. THE ART OF DISTRACTION. THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE REAL.
EH:WHO DOESN’T.
ME: I THINK OUR CULTURE NOW.
EH:YOU THINK THE THE REPUBLICANS ARE PUTTING ANNA NICOLE ON THE TV ?
ME :NO.
JOY BEHAR: YOU CAN’T BLAME THE REPUBLICANS FOR EVERYTHING.
EH:WE WERE THERE BEFORE. JUST NEEDED TO CHECK.

i was in the air when Anna Nicole Smith died
the plane landed
my phone rang
“Anna Nicole Smith died three hours ago,” my publicist said
“Do you have a comment?” she asked.
unbearably tragic
2 words only
sums it up
pretty much
simply
to tell the truth
to speak of her suffering
2 notice 2 care
fame
more toxic than crack
one hit
and ur done
more tempting than sex
the suffering of someone else
her pain
entertainment
ya know
all anyone wants
r people who they know
will keep them from going over the edge
focus
breathe
keep me where the light is
we pray

Regardless of the apology, i am tired of her spiels that degrade individuals that she is jealous of (Donald, Anna). The View has been so negative ever since Rosie sat in that seat, spearfronting self righteousness and ignorance!

To be unconcerned is a reflection of one's lack of compassion. And we
are often highly sensitive to our own sufferings but oblivious to the pain
of others. -- You truely have displayed that lack of compassion in here!
It's quite disturbing.
And about suicide, my opinion on that is this. As you may say
"she can't be THAT self -centered" -- let's get something straight. Who in
a cluster f*ck have the right to say to someone it is a selfish behavior?!
We all suffer in this world. Many of us experience extreme suffering. (illness)
And for some of us the suffering we experience seems unbearable. When
suffering seems unbearable, thoughts of suicide commonly arise. And some
of us will attempt to take our own lives. Suicide is a leading cause of death
in the West, and while death is never pleasant, suicide seems an especially
tragic way to die. But then again, since nothing lasts, and we all will die
someday, if life becomes unbearable, then why prolong the agony?
I hope you were just having a bad day....

apology?...
i dont see an apology...
nor do i think she did anything that requires one...
there was no way she could have known what was going to happen...
and she made no attack on anna's character...
she simply commented on the absurdity of the situation...
and how saturated the media was with her image and stories of her life...
and guess what- she is RIGHT....
anna was everywhere...
and that "husband" of hers was doing all sorts of interviews...
just inviting the world in....
it is tragic.....and all the media coverage was pathetic (and still is)...

bodhi- i think your point about compassion is interesting...
but i must admit fashionjunkie has a point about one thing...
*to have a 5 month old baby, and commit suicide (if indeed she did...and we may never know...) is in some ways a very selfish act....
this is not to say that we should not have compassion for anna...
or that we should judge, or blame, or pretend we know what it feels like...
none of those things are going to help...
she had a very tragic life.....but there are people in this world who would give ANYTHING for a second chance at life, and mothers who would give ANYTHING to spend just a few more moments with their children....
*understanding that, it is incredibly difficult to get your head around why a mother would go through with taking her own life, especially knowing that her little baby was waiting for her....
i'm not saying it was in fact suicide....just hypothetically speaking....

Her life and her death are both very sad things to contemplate.
Anna Nicole Smith was in pain for at least most of her life and sorely needed an excellent therapist on her side. In fact, she was much like Marylin in that, as Marylin suffered greatly emotionally too.

By the way, she may have in addition been suffering from post-partum disorder on top of it all. In that case, her hormones would have been totally out of whack and would have greatly affected her judgement and ability to feel a mother's natural bond with her child. This is a very common hormonal disorder after pregnancy (and treatable) and not an indication of an ill-fit mother.
Imagine being crippled by both post-partum AND grief on top of all the other problems you've had and continue to have in your life as a famous, controversial, extremely emotional, chaos-surrounded woman. It is not hard for me to imagine why this happened, but the saddest part is I think it could have been different had she had the right people helping her.

yasmin- while interesting, the post-partum depression is very much pure speculation.....there is nothing to suggest that was indeed the case....
furthermore, i think it is important not only to acknowledge that being surrounded by different people would have helped her....but to accept that anna herself may have been able to make different choices along the way, in order to surround herself with a healthier and more functional situation.....people included....
*i think it does her a great injustice to refer to her as a victim of her surroundings and circumstances....as though fame and her family and the people in her life were the sole cause of her suffering.....she made active choices throughout her life that supported a lot of the dysfunctional circumstances.....its very sad, but true....and its not a judgement....just an honest acknowledgement of the way it was.... i have no doubt she did all she knew how with her life....its just terribly sad that this is how it all resolved....

That's almost...profound. All of us gossip junkies (if you come into this board at all, you're a gossip junkie) find a certain amount of shadenfreude in the stories. It's a bad habit, and a trait I don't like about myself very much. Which is why I stopped going to the TomKat threads. It was too easy to indulge.
I don't think Rosie did anything wrong here, and I don't like Rosie at all.
Anyone that says a depressed person committing suicide is acting selfishly needs to step out of the middle ages. It's like saying committing suicide is the unforgivable sin that will send you right to hell. If the Catholic Church can pay attention to science and change their approach, realizing that telling someone with clinical depression to "buck up and snap out of it" works about as well as telling the same thing to someone with pancreatic cancer, anyone can.
Clinical depression and clinical anxiety (not a passing worry or sadness) are physical diseases with physiological components. You can't will your body to uptake more seratonin or gaba, you can't be strong enough to force your brain's receptors and neural pathways to function properly any more than you can force your white cell count to be normal, or order the lesions from your MS to stop growing.
It used to bother me when people said things like depression and anxiety and suicide were selfish choices, and then I realized that those comments are based in ignorance, not malice, more needs to be done to educate the general public, and getting worked up over it helps no one.

this is so sad.
sad in a way that any human life taken is sad.
i never got the "paris hilton" type vibe from her. In a way she was similar to Marilyn Monroe- she seemed like she was just searching to be loved and accecpted.it seems that she found it in her son, and his death would have been devastating.
RIP

R.I.P. Anna Nicole.
Really, I feel sorry for the baby more than anyone else. Her older brother dies three days after she is born, her mother dies 5 months later, and now a third man has come up claiming to be her father. I hope she doesn't get dramatized from this.
And I agree with masquerade. Larry Birkhead should get Dannilyn. I'm rooting for him to get the baby AND hopefully the baby will get the money. It's the least she could recieve after all of this happens. This is a horrible way to enter the world.

FashionJunkie how can you say such an awfull thing? If I would lose my son, like Anna did, I don't even want to think about how my life would become. Anna's son was so precious to her. Was always by her side through think and thin.
One can die from a broken heart you know...
the whole story is so sad 
but what really makes me angry and completely speechless is that NOW after she died, 3 men are claiming to be the father of her daughter! NOW! they obviously didnt care about that when she was still alive....greedy bastards!!
i hope her baby daughter will be alright!
