Anna Nicole Smith

A little off topic, but regarding Marilyn Monroe, I read in Psychology Today that the reason she talked the way she did was actually to control her stuttering. She stuttered all through her childhood and young adult life, but apparently found that talking "breathy" made speaking easier. She also hated the fact that she was always typecast as the dumb-blonde-bombshell, the same as Vivien Leigh hated being typecast in period pieces, especially as the Southern Belle after Gone With The Wind. I'm not saying that Marilyn was an angel; we all know better than that. But she wasn't anything near as bad as the huge phony known as Anna Nichole Smith.

I was flipping channels and stopped. The woman needs some serious help. She commented on how POOR she is and then buys this absolutely HUGE house. Tosses her dog a teddy bear and laughs as the dog starts humping the stuffed animal, talks about how she will love parading around her house nude all the time with her son living right there with her. I have always known she is trashy, but without makeup she is horrifying... all I can say is that she really needs some help and she also struck me as being sick. Very ill - without makeup her skin color was not right.

Sorry to be a pain in the butt here..... but who the heck IS this woman!! This thread is cracking me up but I have no idea who you are talking about!?!?!?!?!? A little help anyone??

Rhea, Anna Nicole Smith is the young woman (floosey)who married a very very old man, who was obviously on his last legs, just to inherit his money. She said she "loved" him....he was like 100 years old...well, not quite, but close, and there was a huge court battle afterwards between her and his son.

I am sure someone else can give you better details about it, I am just going from memory, and that is the main thing I remember, but I know there is alot more to it...

Anyone else that can tell Bodlover some more about her?

Anyway...she is a disgusting person, in my book! It's not that i don't believe that a woman could fall in love with an elderly man, that's not it, I am sure that could happen, but not with this chick...she was in it for the money...and got it.

I was channel surfing last night and ran into this show. I saw the part where she was speaking to her son on the telephone. It was completely and totally disgusting. I feel so sorry for that boy. If he doesn't end up with some serious psychological problems, I would be surprised. She was using her drunken sex-kitten voice while talking to him and asking him how much he loved her and whether he wanted to come kiss her. I felt like I needed a shower after seeing that.


By the way, Marilyn Monroe was sexually and physically abused as a child. So, she was sexually exploited throughout her life. We use her as a case study when training CASA (court appointed special assistant) volunteers.

Anna Nicole was a Playboy bunny in the early 1990's - a ditzy blonde (and I am blonde myself, but she was the poster child for why there are so many dumb blonde jokes...) She did many posings for the magazine over the years until in her mid-20's (I think that is how old she was) she married an 87 year old very wealthy man who died shortly after. She wanted all of his money, but his children sued her and won. She did eventually get some money from the estate though, I saw that a few months ago.

Thank you!!! That explains it so much better than I did! I knew he was old, but not how old, and I knew she did get some money, but didn't know if it was all or part of it.

Thanks!

She was also well known for being chosen as the Guess model. It was a really big deal because she wasn't a size 2. She was more "hefty" at a size 8, I think.

Okay, I thought she got a "small" amount- I was SO wrong... here is the article from a few months back.

Yahoo News...

Apparently, $88 million just isn't enough for Anna Nicole Smith.

The plus-sized ex-Playboy Playmate has dispatched her lawyer to court to ask for $30 million in interest on the huge chunk of money she scored from the estate of her deceased hubby, that very old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II.

Smith's lawyer, Philip Boesch, made the formal request to U.S. District Judge David O. Carter Monday at the federal courthouse in Santa Ana, California.

Carter had ruled March 7 in favor of Smith in her long running dispute with her stepson, E. Pierce Marshall. Citing "malicious misconduct" on the part of the young Marshall, Carter awarded the once-upon-a-time model $44 million of her departed spouse's reputed $1.2 billion fortune, plus another $44 million in punitive damages.

Howard Marshall died in 1995, at the age of 90, leaving his estate in a trust, which included no mention of Smith or his other son, J. Howard Marshall III. But, as Carter's ruling stated, Smith (whose goes by her married name, Vickie Lynn Marshall, in court papers) had a reasonable expectation of receiving a portion of her husband's fortune.

Now, Smith's legal crew reckons that the 34-year-old entertainer is due interest on her portion dating back to the time of her husband's passing.

The judge says he will issue a decision at a later date.

Surprising no one, lawyers for E. Pierce Marshall immediately cried foul and stated they will appeal on the grounds Texas law "does not provide for the relief she's asking for."

Pierce Marshall's spokesman David Margulies was a bit more blunt in comments to the Associated Press: "When their client gets $6 million for every month of marriage and then goes back and asks for more, it's unbelievable."

Heidi and lotsocats, I know M.M.'s mother was in a mental hospital, and that she had problems with depression and craved attention, but she was still a phony. When asked what she wore to bed, her answer, "Chanel No. 5" was not designed to attract people to her mind. She admitted that "Marilyn" was a character she could take off and put on. I was just surprised that so many men thought she was sexy. Any woman could put on that facade; they choose not to. She had a pretty face and a great figure, which I believe was natural. I don't think she had to use the "Marilyn" character. I'm comparing her with her peers, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, even Jane Russell, who achieved stardom and respect without a facade.

I hate that the first thing they use to describe her is "plus sized!" Who cares if she is chunky?! I doubt articles about Calista Flockhart begin "The anorexic and pale actress..." Why does our weight have to define who we are?

Okay, I'm done ranting!

Jeanie, I agree that MM's fascade was unnecessary... especially when you look at the other glamorous women of the time. It is too bad that she allowed herself to become who she most did not want to become.

See I am not fond of that either - but I think her being a Playboy Playmate targets her for media attention to every tiny ounce she gains... Thank God I am not a celebrity - I couldn't take the backstabbing talk!!!

lotsocats,
I agree with the weight issue, too ..... I don't think it's fair that society does this to people whether they are overweight or not.

I missed the first 15 minutes of the true story of her life, but was her son born while she was in high school? That cracked me up to see her talking that way to him ....... he was on him computer like 'ok, mom, whatever' type of attitude. :LOL:

As much as everyone is complaining about it, I just saw on Headline News at lunch that the show got E! the best rating ever. So for all of you who watched it and were appalled, figure on more of this "trash TV" to come. They have no reason not to.

Wow, that is surprising. I think though, IMO, there's a lot more trashier shows on TV than this one, such as Howard Stern, even though I watch it sometimes. :LOL:

You're right, of course. There is much trashier on TV - like all the Fox reality shows! LOL (I'm addicted to Fox, so I can say that! ) Jerry Springer still being on the air is proof that Americans love their Trash!

Of course, their rating was only a 4.1, which I think means 4.1% of the viewing public was watching that show. Still, that's a fair amount who were interested enough in her to tune in.

But the ratings are deceptive... I have heard and am waiting for it to be confirmed... the majority that tuned in were men (who most likely were expecting the Playboy Pin-Up from the past.) Now that they have seen her now, they won't watch again.

Oh Tigger, don't even get me started on that slime ball Howard Stern!!

Jay Leno had a comment to make about Anna Nicole Smith tonight...he said two more miners had turned up missing and had been located in her cleavage, and they had to send down an airhose, that was attached to her head!! :LOL: :laughing:

Debby,
That was a funny joke, lol! For the majority time, Howard Stern irritated the hell out of me, but sometimes he can be funny.

Debby, That was so funny! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
