Do you think the media is giving Anna Nicole a hard time?

Question

After losing her son three days after the birth of her daughter. Do you think ET and The Insider had the right to publicize her ex story only a few days after Daniel's tragic death. Has entertainment news gone to far?

Answer 1

The media always goes too far when it comes to celebrities!! If they can't find some dirt then they will make it up just like they always do with Michael Jackson!!

♥♥We Love You Michael!!!!♥♥

Answer 2

It doesn't matter who the celebrity is the media goes too far. But, Anna seems to live her life in some wreck-less ways and the past always comes back to bite her in the butt. She asks for the negative attention she gets. I don't judge her personally and I feel bad for her loss. She doesn't deserve the bad things that happen to her but she should use what's she's learned in life to give her a daughter a good life while she can and that would include getting the help for her substance abuse problems that she has had and also is in denial about.

Answer 3

Well, she has to take the good with the bad. When her show was airing on E! she was all about the camera's, paparazzi, and publicity. Now that an unfortunate event in her life has occurred; she wants it to stop? ALL celebs (not just Anna) need to understand that fame comes with a price. You're going to be subject to public ridicule and insult. And chances of privacy are 0-none. That's just the way Hollywood is and always will be. They'll have to just grin and bear it.

Answer 4

I got the feeling they did. It really has to be something terrible to loose a child. I lost my Dad over 8 years ago and still hurts!! Imagine your own son and even worse, after giving birth... with the post par tum depressions... They should leave her alone for a while, at least during the "mouning" period...

Answer 5

Well, I think that it is to be expected. The question is, does she even care right now?

Not to mention, with her antics SINCE Daniel's death (I mean, come on...jumping off a boat after a commitment ceremony with her lawyer!?!?) could you really blame them?

I think it's inappropriate of her mother and her ex actually SEEKING the attention after the death. They are the ones that should put a stop to their own crap!!

Answer 6

The Bahamian Registrar's Office has listed Stern, Smith's longtime legal sidekick turned paramour, as the father of her month-old daughter on the girl's birth certificate.


Per the document, issued from the Nassau office and obtained by several news outlets, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern was born Sept. 7 in the private Doctors Hospital on the island of New Providence.


Two last names and neither one is Birkhead? Let the protestations begin.


Last week, paparazzo Larry Birkhead filed suit against the former Playboy Playmate, demanding she and Dannielynn Hope return to California and undergo paternity and drug testing.


In the lawsuit, Birkhead claimed, among other particularly damning accusations, that he was the father of the baby girl, that Smith (whose legal name is Vicky Lynn Marshall) has a methadone addiction facilitated by Stern, that Stern is claiming to be the father for reasons of financial gain, and that the mourning mother fled to the Bahamas to give birth to avoid routine drug testing for her and her daughter.


Birkhead's challenge came in response to Stern's declaration on Larry King Live that he was the "proud father" of Dannielynn.


Two days after the CNN appearance, Stern and Smith held a so-called "commitment ceremony" aboard a private yacht in the Bahamas--though, apparently, it wasn't that private. The couple exchanged vows, but because there was no officiant present, the union was not legal.


The paternity squabble has played out against the backdrop of the death of Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel. He died Sept. 10 while visiting his mother and newborn sister in the hospital.


Earlier, Michael Scott, another member of Smith's legal entourage who had been her de facto spokesman in the wake of her son's death, announced he had withdrawn as her counsel.


"A disagreement on a commercial transaction made it difficult for us to remain as counsel," Scott told the Associated Press. He was apparently referring to Smith having sold photos of her commitment ceremony to People magazine and the fact that the ceremony was held prior to her making funeral arrangements for Daniel. (Billy Smith, Anna Nicole's ex-husband and Daniel's father, held a memorial service for his son in Texas over the weekend. Anna Nicole did not attend.)


"It was not an amicable parting," Scott told the wire service, adding that there were "strong differences of opinion between myself and Howard over strategies."


Scott said that he notified Smith of his decision to withdraw as her lawyer on Tuesday.


While authorities have yet to officially confirm the cause of Daniel's death, a private pathologist hired by Smith announced last month that the young man died from a lethal combination of methadone and the antidepressants Lexapro and Zoloft.


The Royal Bahamas Police Force is expected to wrap up its international investigation into the death later this week, at which point the findings will be submitted to coroner's officials, who will determine whether a full inquest is necessary.


In the meantime, Smith and Stern remain in the Bahamas, where Daniel's body is currently being held embalmed at a funeral home awaiting burial.

Answer 7

i think ANNA is in a really difficult,moment now ,i mean can you imagine giving birth to a baby and loosing another ,she must be going through hell right now ,just asking herself what did she do ,Daniel died next to her and in the hospital she gave birth to,i think the media should leave them alone

Answer 8

sadly, she's a celebrity and they are always in the media. It's the life that they choose. However, you would think they could have given her a break after losing her child. I think the paparrazi is emotionless. Unless of course they get attacked and then they sue.

Answer 9

I don't watch them any more (ET etc), I believe hookers on the street have more morals than these programs. No one knows how they will handle the death and dying but the media milked it for all it is worth - no matter what Anna does she always seem to be pinned as the dumb one.

Answer 10

I think that she has been acting extremely strange about the whole thing. There should be a criminal investigation about her son's death.
