Last week Anna Nicole Smith suddenly lost her 20-year-old son at the same time she was celebrating the birth of her new baby girl. The death of her son is still a mystery, but it turns out Anna Nicole is making some money off of this tragedy. In Touch outbid People magazine for the rights to pictures of Anna Nicole, her son Daniel and her daughter just before Daniel died. Here's more:

In Touch magazine paid as much as $400,000 for the print exclusive on photos, and the Paramount-produced television shows "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider" forked over an estimated $250,000 for the TV exclusive.
In Touch won the rights, I hear, after topping People's bid of $350,000. A spokeswoman for In Touch told me, "There is an incredible amount of emotion attached to this story and the photos, and our story will be a tribute to Daniel's life as a well as a celebration of it."
I'm told that Anna Nicole has vague plans to use a portion of the money for a Daniel Smith memorial, and it wasn't clear yesterday what percentage of the proceeds Getty is taking as a commission.
This whole thing is still so weird. There is so much mystery around Daniel's death. TMZ is reporting the latest on the cause of Daniel's death. Apparently they are now saying it was due to a fatal drug combo including anti-depressants and other prescription drugs. Either way it's a sad sad story and we never knew we could feel for Anna Nicole but we do. Let's hope the $650K helps her get over this mess.

this is soo sad!!!! i def. would not have released these pictures so fast!!! i mean she doesnt even know the actual cause of death yet!!!!
**I LOVE NICK LACHEY**
1I find this very disturbing. Her son isn't even buried yet and there is no "official" cause of death and she's selling the last photos ever taken of him? Is she that hard up for money? ANS and all her syncophants should be ashamed of themselves.
2she's a screw up. I was feeling sorry for her but now this....
3wow
4Umm...I don't even know what to say.
5The photos belong to Getty. They probably would have sold them anyway. I doubt Anna Nicole was even involved. Howard probably brokered this. Give the woman a break. I'd hate to find out first hand the "proper" way to mourn a child.
6I cant believe she sold the pictures, that's terrible. So sad
7i'm with toxx & wynter...speechless
8& w/ jen...
9Jen I totally see what u are saying. Still so much drama going on Ud think that someone would have the decency to step and and say lets wait a few more weeks or at least till the cod is determined. But thats the business
10With you Jennifer76. She prob had nothing to do with the actual sale she just gets a check. Hello..famous people don't handle details like this that's why they have "people". Howard K was all over this
11i agree toxx
**I LOVE NICK LACHEY**
12Maybe she is selling them because everyone is speculating about her, the son.. I can't imagine what she is going through? I agree Jenny76!!! I will take the reports word when they say she is a mess and depressed. I hope she can find some joy with her new daughter now?
13Has anyone heard the baby's name yet? I've heard no mention of that.
14It's Hannah.
15That is pretty...
16i have no problem w/her selling the pics. its just a matter of business and i doubt she had anything to do w/it personally, her attorney would handle that sort of thing, and the pics would come out eventually so why not take a check for it now? i dont think any less of her (not that i thought THAT much of her to start with).
17the article claims they were sold before her son died. very tragic, i couldn't even imagine...
18yeah hannah's a lovely name.
19I think she is probably in desperate need of the money..still no oil tycoon money and Howard's contant presence in her life can't be free and then the Trim Spa money is drying up and the baby's father is no where to be seen. And she has a child to bury. And another one to raise. She is a mess! I wouldn't be suprised if he had mixed some of her prescription drugs with antidepressants... kids do stupid things. and you know by her behavior she has lots of drugs around. This is a sad sad sad mess.
"Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?"
20OMG look at daniel's arms! they're like extremely sickly pale. i wonder if that has something to do with him dying, anna looks so happy to see her two children, this is all so sad still
21Hannah is a pretty name. It is sad about Daniel.
22MY QUESTION IS HOW DID GETTY IMAGES EVEN GET THE PICTURES IN THE FIRST PLACE???
23I would assume one of their photogs took the pictures.
24I find the selling of the photos disturbing, but when you look at the photo's you can actually see the love she has for her son. It is really touching to see how she is looking at him.
25aww i feel really bad, I have a feeling she had something to do with his death! As sick as it sounds..I have a gut feeling!
Oh well... thats a chunk of change!
26people act so shocked, this pig has been a gold digger her whole life and has absolutely no regard for anyone., what a sad wench. It's sad that her boy died and it's disgusting she is using the ultimate sadness to make money. DISGUSTING*
27What!? Like she popped out a baby, then strangled her son? WTF? That *does* sound like a sick thought.
28regardless of how out there at the end of the day she's just a mother who lost her son. wow
29How can anyone say she had something do with her sons death wow.
30I don't believe she had anything to do with his death. I think thats an awful thing for someone to even think. How sad.
31yep, blonde..that's the sad part, the sick part about that pig is she wants to make money off it...........where's the grief....she's repulsive and uses everybody*
32no i don't agree with what you said myop. i was saying to have some sympathy bc at the end of the day she is a grieving mother who lost a child
33I'm just curious to know how Getty got the pics. Obviously someone in the hospital room who took the pics gave them to him. I wonder if Anna consented to that or not?
34Either way, it's so sad to look at these pics...so bittersweet. The happy birth of a new baby and the sadness looking at Anna's son and knowing he's now gone.
Anna is a lot of crazy things but that is cruel. How could you not feel sad for her?
35I side with blonde sugar. This is all so sad.
36what, did I miss something? who said she killed her son! that's just gross and weird, I'M saying she is a user and sick for wanting to make money off of his death and it's not even been 2 weeks! the love of money........
37I dont know its really sad, but I have a feeling she did! maybe not..who knows, the story just doesnt make sense. If you go through the timeline like they did on E! yesterday and the day before nothing makes sense. Someone is lying or just being really sneeky! oh well she made her cash..shes happy!
38jennifer76 - i'd hate to find out the "proper" way to mourn a child but i sure as hell know selling the last photos taken of him before i even know why he died or buried him isn't.
NOBODY SOLD THOSE PICTURES WITHOUT HER PERMISSION
39ohsuri, you said it right honey. I know she's not the best person in the world, but let's cut her a break.
40We're all entitled to our opinions. And you know I love you Jamers. But I have to disagree with a lot of the statements here.
I feel like I see this a lot and it really bothers me. When someone's husband dies, its amazing how quickly people turn on them. It starts at the funeral with "Do you see how much makeup she's wearing? And her hair's all done up? She must not be that sad." and then if they're still around, a few months later its "What's she doing at this BBQ? How can she be laughing? Guess she doesn't care her poor husband's dead!" and then a few months after that its "How can she even think about talking to another man? What kind of slut is she?" and on and on.
Say what you want, but you probably haven't lost a child. Maybe you don't actually know exactly how you'd feel or what you'd do.
And maybe Ohsuri's right and she put the pictures out because everyone is talking smack about how it must have been drugs. And she wanted people to see her son as he really was.
41MYOP sheetal suggested that she had something to do with it. I was responding to what you said about her being a pig and a sad wench. I was saying have a heart! We don't know the whole story and we dont even know if she sold the pics, or it was her rep, or whoever. i personally dont think i could do that, but at the same time i cant bash her for doing it
42somebody could have stolen the pictures and given them out.
43The new news is that he was on antidepressants and another drug had a reaction to it. Totally possible. Taking aspirin and some stuff can cause a reaction. Maybe he ate something and he was allergic to it. There is a lot of thing that could have happened here.. nothing sinister!!!
44blonde.........I'm not a heartless chick.....yes it's sad what happened, I'm not saying it again* lol and I'm not concerned with anyone 'siding' with me...............
45That's so true Jen, only she knows how hurt she is right now. I'm going to take a wild guess and say she's hurt really bad.
46yea I agree with you Jen76. and I guess I'll just leave it at that
47E! News said it was Ambien and Lexapro that he was on.
48I realize this probably sounds crazy, but I'm convinced that Daniel was murdered. I don't belive he was doing drugs, other than his antidepressant meds.
My gut tells me that either the new baby's father or one of J. Howard Marshall's relatives paid someone to poison Daniel or kill him via injection as he slept in Anna's hospital room. In both cases, there would be a clear motive: money and either revenge or elimination of competition for that money.
I find it very hard to believe that Anna herself had a hand in what happened, aside from the fact that she has made several powerful people murderously angry with her, which has put her son in the line of fire for revenge. What better way to get back at the b*tch who stole your money than to kill her beloved son when she needs him most?
(A third theory that I've so far dismissed is that Howard K. Stern is a total freaking nutbar who is engineering Anna's life so that he can eventually marry her and share her ill-gotten wealth. If either the new baby or the baby's father dies soon, Sterns' the guy.)
49Fact is Skinny someone could have. She may have given permission like someone suggested the day that was taken, or may have said yes I want this released but didnt have control over the timing.
Fact is people die. When its there time its there time. Things dont have to add up, u dont have to hav prexsisting condtions or addictions u can just fall over and die on ur keyboard right now and contiuously post messages on pop for all of enternity that say gji'ajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
50jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj ok lol
