Anna Nicole Post-Death Scandal: Imposter Diet Drinks

Now that the shock and dismay of Anna Nicole Smith's death have run their course, the vulture media is grasping for straws that can draw the ordeal out as long as possible. And they picked the shortest straw. Her refrigerator. (pictured above)

In a video posted on TMZ, Alex Goen, a hancho at TrimSpa, admits to Court TV that if Anna Nicole had been caught alive with Slimfast, there would have been trouble. She hasn't been dead a week and the best they could come up with was her fridge? Three different men are vying for the paternity of her baby, and we're supposed to be shocked that she drank a shake behind closed doors?

Anna Nicole's Smith's Autopsy Results

The medical examiner in charge of Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy has released his findings. He says her cause of death will take 3-5 weeks to determine. It was earlier said that if there were drugs in her system, it would take longer to determine the cause of death. But here is what he did say:

• He's ruled out death by stabbing or shooting, or physical injuries.
• She had minor bruising on her back, due to a fall in her bathroom that occurred days ago.
• There was a small amount of blood in her stomach, most likely caused by terminal shock.
• There were no pills in her stomach, but they still have to perform blood tests.
• She was dead upon arrival at this hospital.
• She did not die by ingesting large amounts of pills, but he hasn't ruled out an overdose.
• He confirmed a few plastic surgery scars.

They police are still working on the investigation, but they say that no illegal drugs were found in the room, but there was prescription drugs. From D-Listed.

Anna Nicole's Mother Blames the Drugs

Anna Nicole's mother, Vergie Arthur, interviewed with Good Morning America this morning and blamed Anna's death on the drugs she was taking. Vergie said:

"I think she had too many drugs, just like Danny. I tried to warn her
about drugs and the people she was hanging around with. She didn't
listen. She was too drugged up. By the last interview I saw of her,
she was so wasted."

Why is her mother interviewing on national television telling the world how messed up her daughter was? For one thing, we already knew. It was quite evident. Secondly, she was your daughter. Didn't you want her to have some peace from the public limelight and ridicule when she was alive? And don't you want her to go out with a little dignity, class and respect? Sure, the press will speculate anyway, but let 'em! No need to throw her lifeless body under the bus and spew personal business for your own gain, lady!

Anna Nicole to Be Chopped Up This Morning

Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy is set for this morning, and from the sound of things, we'll be hearing that illegal narcotics played a role. Investigators supposedly removed 8 "bags" of evidence from the hotel room where she died.

It's not a big revelation that Anna Nicole was doing drugs. What kinds of drugs...well, that's a different story. Below are some quotes from various celebrities on Anna. Why some of them were quoted, I'm not sure...but I'll include them anyway.

"I am very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole's passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally."

— Playboy founder Hugh Hefner

"Our family was shocked by the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith. We wish to express our sympathies to her family in this difficult time."

— The family of Smith's deceased husband, J. Howard Marshall II

"She was a great friend to animals and used every opportunity to speak out against senseless cruelty. ... It is a tragedy when anyone passes away before their time, but with Anna Nicole, animals have lost a true hero and PETA has lost a good friend."

— Michael McGraw, director of media relations for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

"Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she find comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel."

— Alex Goen, CEO and founder of TrimSpa

"Poor Anna Nicole. She's been the underdog. She's been besieged ... and she's been trying her best and nobody should have to endure what she's endured."

— Smith's attorney, Ron Rale

"From my professional exposure to Anna Nicole, I can say she was always personable, down to earth and driven. All in all, a joy to have as a client."

— Wayne Munroe, Smith's Bahamian lawyer

"For those of us who worked closely with Anna Nicole and got to know the woman behind the public persona, this is devastating news. She was a sweet person who adored her son, made us laugh and cry with her, and who was never afraid of what others may have thought of her. There will never be another like her, and I already miss her."

— Jeff Shore, head of E! Studios

"This is a very tragic and sad day. Personally I feel she did not survive the loss of her son Daniel, who was the love of her life."

Anna Nicole Smith DEAD

No joke. Anna Nicole Smith was found dead this morning after collapsing at the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel, where she was staying in South Florida. They took her to the hospital and tried to revive her, but it was too late. I'm hearing rumors that it was drugs, which I believe, but I haven't seen anything concrete on that yet.

Her poor new little baby! Read more here.

Britney Looks Miserable

She looks stressed to the max, washed-up, burnt-out and pissed off about being followed by a camera everywhere she goes. My dad said he read something the other day that said she is second only to Elvis in concert sales (adjustment for inflation) There is something about her that makes people obsess. When her crotch shots were...um...revealed, my hits skyrocketed. And a couple of other bloggers said the same thing.

It seems like the fame and success of that level actually ends up contributing to the demise of those who have it. They commit suicide, or are beat by their own addictions. Unless she hits rehab, and puts a screaming halt to her current lifestyle, I give her 2 years. So by February 6th, 2009, Britney will be in a coffin. She's 25, right? A couple more years, and she can join the "27" club of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrisson and Kurt Cobain.

The Day the Music Died

Tomorrow marks the 48th anniversay of the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. Their plane crashed the day after their infamous last show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. I have been to Clear Lake several times, but unfortunately have never stopped in to see the ballroom. It is renovated to look as it did the night of that show from what I understand.

Something I just learned in the past couple of years was that Waylon Jennings, who was playing bass guitar in Buddy Holly's band was actually supposed to be on the plane, but gave up his seat to Buddy to ride in the freezing tour bus that frequently had problems. Waylon's apparent last words to Buddy were "I hope your ol' plane crashes", a joke he said he never got over.
