Anna Nicole Smith Dead at 39

[Howard]

Personally, I thought Anna Nicole was a kook, and way out there - they should donate her body to science fiction!

I feel sorry for her daughter

I wasn't a fan, but this came straight outta left field. Huh. Maybe she was missing her son and wanted to die? It was probably an OD, she was too young to die of natural causes.

Wow. I mean, I knew of her, but I was surprised that she was dead. Wow.

However, I highly doubt that people will be writing RIP ANNA NICOLE SMITH on their backpacks/planners/book covers, unlike Steve Irwin.

I'm guilty of having "Steve Irwin:1962-2006" written on a sticker on my flute case. But only because we found out he died on the day of my first football game this year.

I know it sounds mean but I actually felt a whole lot crummier when Steve Irwin died rather then with Anna Nicole Smith died. Irwin was a very loving, energetic, and passionate man, he died doing what he loved and I doubt he'd want it any other way.

What bothered me was his death was a freak accident, a million to one long shot that sadly took his life. Smith I think they said died of drug overdose which always upsets me because I hate how celebrities poison themselves to death just to relieve stress.

Drugs keep killing more and more people, greats like John Belushi and Chris Farley were both lost to drugs and it sickens me that people STILL do them.

well...now that her brother and mother (both creeps) are dead, perhaps this little girl will be able to grow up to be something important, like the doctor who cures cancer or solves the crisis in the Middle East as oppossed to the spoiled daughter of a shallow waste of silicon. Brutal but true.

Smith wasn't exactly the model citizen. Her life was a mess and some of the things she did were pretty dirty and downright shameful. I am sorry to say, but the death of a person like her does not instigate any sorrow in me. I do, however, feel terrible for her kid.

Still, she had a rough year, and I DO feel bad about that. At least now maybe she can find some peace.

Yeah, I basically feel the same way about it that you do. I never cared for her because of some of the rather disgusting, mean and downright pathetic things she did throughout her life (I'm sorry, but to me it's quite obvious that she only married that 89-year-old man for money for various reasons that I don't feel like listing, really...not to mention she is a rather poor excuse of a role-model for younger women for reasons that I shouldn't have to mention on here) She came across to me as nothing more than a gold-digger, really.

However, it is still sad to hear of people passing away. It's a shame that she didn't turn her life around for the better while she still had the chance. She may have had all of that money, but was it really worth all of the things she did to other people and to herself? I do feel sorry for her child, though.
