Anna Nicole Smith, a model, actress, and television personality, died on February 8, 2007, in Hollywood, Florida. She was 39 years old. Smith, who was born in Houston, Texas, became widely known for her modeling work, including for Guess and Playboy, and her marriage to oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall.

Smith was found unresponsive in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was pronounced dead after being transported to a local hospital. The cause of her death was later determined to be an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Smith had been taking a variety of medications for pain and anxiety, and the combination of these substances led to her death.

Her death followed a series of personal tragedies and legal battles, including the death of her son, Daniel Smith, just three days after the birth of her daughter, Dannielynn, in September 2006. There was also ongoing litigation surrounding the estate of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall, in which she claimed a share.

It is sad, however, how are people not smart enough to know that mixing THAT many drugs can cause death? Same as Heath Ledger, they were on so much crap....how did they not expect it?

It's really easy to OD on simple drugs like muscle relaxers and sleeping pills. I've been through a some serious surgeries in the past couple of years and have a pretty big pharmacy in my cabinet. I HATE taking muscle relaxers and sleeping pills. I can actually feel my breathing becoming depressed when I take muscle relaxers and I took one full dose sleeping pill and couldn't remember the next few days very well.

Yeah, he wasn't trying to kill himself. He was suffering from major insomnia and just wanted to sleep. I've had bad sleep problems and let me tell you it is VERY easy to take too many. When one doesn't work so well and you're still awake, you take another because the first has dulled your judgment. I've gotten really sick from it.

Two years ago, I spent nearly six months living in Rome, Italy.

While I was in Italy, there were things I loved about the country: the fact that I could walk around the Trastevere neighborhood and feel like I was walking around in an old movie, the fresh fruit that awaited me every morning when I stepped outside my flat, and the ability to immerse myself in a foreign language and culture. There were also things I hated, such as the constant transit strikes that could make getting around the city nearly impossible; the day I walked into a post office to be told they were all out of stamps for the week when it was a Monday, wasn’t a particularly good day either.

It's been nearly two years since I left Rome and while I learned an incredible amount about myself, Italy, and even the United States, the one thing I have continued to miss is the news. Yes, we have news in the U.S., but it’s not the same. The entire time I was in Italy, I don’t think I heard a single thing about Britney Spears's newest escapade, or Lindsay Lohan's newest debacle. Of course, when I came back, I was treated to almost 24/7 coverage by CNN of Anna Nicole Smith.

In Italy, if celebrities were mentioned in the news, it was because or a new movie or song, not the newest disaster in their love lives. The majority of the news was spent covering wars going on, and the Italian National Guard being sent into Naples. It was refreshing to turn on the TV and learn about a situation in Africa, or a new peace deal in the Middle East.

I’m not sure why the U.S. media has to pay so much attention to the trivial details of celebrities’ personal lives when we are fighting two wars, when Sudan, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe are falling apart, and the cease-fire in the Middle East is on the verge of breaking. Apparently, they think the American public is more interested in Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg and in Britney Spears's latest comeback, than in OPEC’s latest conference and the treaty on cluster bombs; at least, Burress and Spears are featured much more prominently. The sad truth is that the U.S. media does it because it sells more papers than if they covered the war in Nigeria.
