Anna Nicole Smith has died.

BREAKING NEWS
MSNBC staff and news service reports
Updated: 1 minute ago

Anna Nicole Smith died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel and being being rushed to the hospital, one of her lawyers said.

Smith collapsed in her room at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and was rushed to a hospital on Thursday. A Hollywood, Fla., fire department spokesman told MSNBC TV that the actress was unresponsive when the rescue unit arrived on the scene and had been intubated. Smith was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. EST and her attorney confirmed that she had died nearly an hour later.

Her son died not long ago, she had a baby, I can't help but to think she had a broken heart. No matter what, a broken heart is a tough thing, addiction or no addiction.

if you saw the reality show she had, then you know she had a few screws loose.......she was also as big as a house. shortly after the show she dropped all the weight, but her face looked completely different.

kathy griffin had this joke that the secret ingredient in Trim-Spa was heroin

Self destructive doesn't begin to describe her...

My heart goes out for her six month old daughter who's going to be in the middle of an ugly custody battle.

Must be a slow news day, the way the cable news networks are covering this you'd think an important world leader died. But no, all this coverage for a girl who's famous for posing nude, and marrying and old crusty rich guy for his billions.

I feel bad for her and her family, but this much attention? Get real

this may sound cruel but hardly.... she did have choices to make in her life.

I feel bad for her daughter....and her late son....

she had a great life but chose to be self destructive.

always tragic.... RIP Anna.

Being her son during his "formative years" was probably no less traumatic than "Mommy Dearest".
Not to be too cruel, but at least she can't ruin the baby's childhood like she did her son's.
Unlike most "famous" stars that try to keep their kids out of the celebrity meat grinder, she shoved hers right in without consideration of the consequences. From the appearances she made up through this event, she sure seemed to enjoying herself way too much.
Too much party, not enough parent.
It's a sad waste of a life. Any addiction based death is a sad end.

She was just too "over the top" for me. Too much excess in all directions. If I had to bet on her cause of death perscription OD.

Maybe. My heart goes out to the little one.
I hope she's at peace.

Be encouraging, not discouraging

I can't believe regular programming was pre-empted to broadcast news of her death. Very sad indeed, but for an unknown stripper, druggie, centerfold, bad mother, very bad mother, she went a long way.

Don't be suprised to see the current "starlets" on this same crash course... Brit/Lohan/Hilton, etc...

They all seem to have lost the deeper genes of self respect and control...

Awful when this happens to anyone but not a suprise by any stretch

We might not agree on much but this we absolutely do.

How sad that a war that has claimed over THREE THOUSAND young Americans played second fiddle to some stupid drug addict bimbo dying.
