         <title>Larry Birkhead Is the Father, Virgie Wants Joint Custody</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>After weeks of court battles and media madness, the man we all knew was the father of Nicole Smith's baby, Larry Birkhead, has been officially declared the father.  Howard Stern says he won't fight it and will give the baby to Larry.  </p>

<p>Case closed, right?  Not quite.  Now Anna Nicole's mother, Virgie Arthur, is going to fight Birkhead for joint custody of Dannielynn. This baby just might be the most fought after in the history of the world. </p>

<blockquote><p>As for any potential bid by Arthur to wrangle custody of Dannielynn away from Birkhead, he told Access Hollywood that joint guardianship, well-intended or not, is out of the question. As would be a reconciliation should such a legal battle take place.</p>

<p>"This is my child and I'm going to raise it," he said. "For someone to fight me and them come back after they lose and say they want to see the baby, that's going to be difficult for me. So if you fight me now, you might have to fight me later."</p></blockquote>

         <title>TMZ.com Writes About Decomposing Bodies</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>TMZ.com posted a gruesome post today about Anna Nicole Smith and the technical details about how bodies decompose and what may be happening to her body. </p>

<p>Not really sure why they felt the need to post about decomposition in such detail, but I guess it was interesting from a technical point of view if one is interested in what is happening to Anna's body as it waits for burial. </p>]]></description>

         <title>Anna Nicole -  A Bonfire in a Hailstorm</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>There have been thousands of articles about Anna Nicole Smith over the past few days.  People are trying to scrape together the words to explain just who she was and why she mattered.  By far the best article so far has been written by Cintra Wilson at <a href="http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2007/02/09/anna_nicole/" target="new">Salon.com</a>.</p>

<blockquote>Anna Nicole was a star because she possessed an unusually large amount of beauty. At her best, she didn't evoke Marilyn Monroe so much as Anita Ekberg in "La Dolce Vita" -- the strapless black dress, mounds of white flesh, piles of blond hair. She was indelicate, but an unstable element nonetheless -- not so much a candle in the wind as a bonfire in a hailstorm.</blockquote>

<p>The article looks at Anna Nicole as the complicated and imperfect person that she was without  asking, as so many others are, whether Anna's life had enough value for us to care about her death.  </p>

         <title>Anna Nicole Smith Had Two Recent Breast Surgeries</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="anna nicole smith" src="http://celebrities.healthdiaries.com/anna.jpg" width="160" height="120" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10"/>More details have emerged about Anna Nicole Smith's life before she died, including the revelation that she had two breast surgeries in recent months.  One was an augmentation and the other was a repair of an earlier surgery.  </p>

<p>She was apparently taking pain medication in the wake of these surgeries and there is now speculation that her death may have been a result of the mixture of these pain drugs with other prescription drugs she may have been taking.  </p>

<blockquote>The voluptuous diva became "very tired, very weak" after the last breast surgery and may have died from interactions among the numerous medications she took to ease the pain, MSNBC's Rita Cosby reported.</blockquote>

         <title>Anna Nicole Smith Dead at 39</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="anna nicole smith" src="http://celebrities.healthdiaries.com/anna-nicole.jpg" width="200" height="150" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10"/>Anna Nicole Smith died this afternoon after collapsing in her room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Emergency personnel and fire crews arrived at the scene and attempted to revive her with CPR and put a tube down her throat.</p>

<p>She was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where sources were first saying it didn't look good for Anna.  Now, multiple sources are reporting that Smith is dead.  </p>

<p>There will be a press conference shortly from the hospital in Hollywood, Florida.  We will update this space as updates occur.</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong>: During the press conference it was revealed that Anna Nicole had been in Florida since Monday.  She was staying at the hotel with Howard K. Stern.  Anna Nicole had a nurse in her hotel room and the nurse is the one who called 911 at 1:38 pm.  At 1:45 pm her bodyguard attempted CPR.  Paramedics arrived and failed to revive her.  She was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead at 2:49 pm.</p>

<p>It's not clear why Anna had a nurse in her room, but there have been reports that Anna had a fever last night and the nurse may have been there for that reason.  Anna's 5-month-old baby, Dannielynn, is reportedly in the Bahamas under the care of a family friend.</p>

         <title>Daniel Smith Died of Drug Overdose</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Pathologist Cyril Wecht has revealed to PEOPLE magazine that Anna Nicole's son Daniel Smith died from a lethal combination of methadone and the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro.  </p>

<blockquote>Wecht said the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia that led to Daniel's death. Wecht got the toxicology results from National Medical Services in Willow Grove, Pa., today.</blockquote>

<p>Methadone is commonly given to heroin addicts to help them beat their addiction.  However, it is also being increasingly prescribed to treat chronic pain.  </p>

         <title>Anna Nicole Sells Last Photos of Son for $600,000</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>With investigations into her son Daniel's mysterious death still ongoing, Anna Nicole Smith has sold photos of her son's last hours for the hefty sum of $600,000.  In the photos, Daniel sits with his mom and her newborn baby girl in the Bahamas hospital were he would die just hours later.  </p>

<blockquote>The sale is raising eyebrows because it's not just photos of the new baby — reportedly named Hannah — or a wedding. It's a photo of her son hours before he died, while questions are still looming about his death.</blockquote>
