DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - FRIDAY, FEB. 9

Anna Nicole Smith is dead at the age of 39. She was found unconscious in a Hollywood, Florida hotel room yesterday afternoon and was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Prescription and illegal drugs were taken from the hotel room as evidence but we may not know the cause of death for weeks. Anna Nicole leaves behind a 5 month-old daughter whose paternity is at the center of a court battle. One of the men who claims he is the baby's father, Larry Birkhead, went to court this morning to try to get an emergency DNA test to establish custody. I was really shocked and sad to hear the news of Anna's death. It was only 5 months ago that her 20 year-old son Daniel died of a drug overdose. I guess there's only so much a body can take. I just hope things work out for the baby so at least she can grow up with one loving parent. Rest in peace, Anna Nicole.....
