Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Florida on Thursday, February 8.  She collapsed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, where she was staying with a private nurse.  According to autopsy reports, there is no evidence that her death was a crime.The death could only be attributed to natural or chemical causes.
Anna Nicoles 5 month old daughter, Dannielynn, is currently in the custody of Howard K. Stern, Smiths lawyer, companion and one of the 5 men claiming paternity of Dannielynn.  The other men include Larry Birkhead, an ex-boyfriend of Smiths and the original man suing for paternity testing; Prince Frederick von Anhalt (who is Zsa Zsa Gabors husband); her former bodyguard, Alexander Denk; and even J. Howard Marshall, Smiths late husband (the claim is that she had his sperm cryogenically frozen). 
There has been much speculation regarding Howard K. Stern and his intentions.  Stern was with Anna in the Bahamas when she gave birth to Dannielynn and it was he who found the body of her son, Daniel.  Daniels death was caused by a fatal combination of 7 different drugs, including Methadone.  Anna also had Methadone in her system and a bottle of it, in Sterns name, was found in Annas room.  One of Annas friends appeared on Larry King Live, claiming that Stern was purposely keeping Anna drugged and hes only interested in her money.  Sterns sister also appeared on the show, defending her brother and saying that Anna got her own drugs.  Former decorator Bobby Trendy has also weighed in, saying that he thinks in the beginning, Stern was after Annas money but that he grew to care about her.
Nicky Hilton is being sued by Chicago development group, Robert Falor Investments and Grand USA Hotel Supply & Restaurant, for breach of contract after she failed to promote Nicky Os Chicago.  The development group also claims that Nicky Hilton misrepresented herself by saying she had experience in hotel design and that Hilton contracted out the interior design (she was contractually obligated to do it herself) then attempted to charge it back to the development group.   Hiltons publicist Elliot Mintz is denying theres any truth to the suit, but since hes also Paris rep, he has plenty of experience denying claims that are completely true.   Nickys also developing a hotel in South Beach but since video of her using offensive slurs has surfaced, the developer is considering pulling the project.  In addition to losing the hotel deal, Macys has stopped carrying her Chick junior sportswear line.  Finally! A Hilton sister is learning there are consequences to actions; too bad its not Paris, though.  With all the pictures of Paris doing drugs and her DUI, youd think some government agency would come after her.  Oh well, maybe next time.   
Breakups
Mischa Barton and Cisco Adler have called it quits after images of Adler, naked and posing like Captain Morgan, surfaced among the many pictures on parisexposed.com. Adler claims that the photo was taken several years ago but Barton apparently had enough. Also visible in the picture is a large pile of cocaine and several drinks but people arent commenting on the coke as much as they are on Adlers equipment, which, according to one source, resemble tennis balls in a stretched out gym sock. Adler was the last to know about the breakup, denying it to the press at the same time Bartons rep was confirming it.
Isaac Cohen has called it off with Britney Spears due to the constant drama surrounding her. He claims shes not over her marriage and has her wedding dress hung on the wall in a glass box. He also states that she loves sex, but once the sex stopped Britney was like a little girl lost, unable to cope. She would lie like a limp rag doll in my arms and say, 'Why can't everyone leave me alone?' and, 'What have I done to deserve this? He goes on to talk about her figure and insecurities, saying Like any woman who has had two children she worried about her figure. As far as I was concerned she was gorgeous, but she had such low self esteem she sometimes would not listen. She would say, 'Am I fat? Am I fat?' then spend hours dancing around the house trying to burn off calories. She was always jumping around. Other times, she got so low she didn't care what she looked like. She could not care less some days if she went out of the house without brushing her hair or checking to see if her outfit matched. I guess that explains the recent pictures of her at Target, sans bra and looking as if her hair was host to several birds.
