anna_dec.jpg Anna Nicole Smith has died, She was 39.

Anna collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida at approximately 2 pm this afternoon. CPR was performed on route by paramedics to the Memorial Regional Hospital but Anna Nicole Smith did not survive. She was pronounced dead at around 3:45 pm.

She’d been found unresponsive in her hotel room. Local streets were closed off as she was rushed to the hospital 3 miles away. Anna’s body guard had apparently started CPR before paramedics arrived.

She’d been hospitalized for a week last November with pneumomia. Her daughter Dannielynn is in the bahamas and is being cared for by the mother of Shane Gibson, a high-ranking Bahamian official who is a close friend of Smith’s.

It’s not know at this time whether drugs or alcohol played a role in her untimely death.

Updates to follow as they come in.

Marcheline Bertrand had her two children with Oscar winning actor Jon Voight, but raised the two kids alone after the divorce. She had many small roles in movies, including 1983′s “The Man who Loved Women”.

She was overjoyed with her granddaugher Shiloh was born last May and she told People Magazine “My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina’s third child.

James Brown’s 5 year old son left out of will

January 14, 2007 By Leave a Comment

It’s not good news for James Brown’s 5 year old son with partner Tomi Rae Hynie. The child wasn’t included in the will read on Thursday to six of the musicians other children.

When Brown died on Christmas morning at the age of 73 the gates of his home were locked. This was done because the house is owned by the trust and “has been that way since August of 2000″ says Buddy Dallas, an attorney for James Brown. “Technically, the trustees own it for the benefit of the trust. It was not in teh name of James Brown and hasn’t been that way for years.”

The will provides for Browns first six children, however Hynie’s son, James Jr. is not listed in the document. The will has not yet been filed in probate court.

Hynie’s lawyer, Thornton Morris, said he doesn’t know anything about the will.

“She was locked out of the house so she doesn’t know where the will that’s being probated was found,” Morris said of his client. “She has no knowledge to when this particular will was executed.”

I suppose it’s possible that Brown had written a new will, but that is not the one that’s being read. If he didn’t write a new will to include his youngest son I would imagine that his estate will end up being tied up in court if Hynie decides to protest the will.
