Are you really suprised at that, there is no Justice now days, everyone is payed off, the only good thing is her slim attorney friend gets nothing..she had addictions and he feed her well...
I think its crazy that once she died it wasn't over. That is kind of crazy. But I think she should have gotten the money he did marry her.
@sunshine girl is right...I feel bad now. Take care of the lil one for sure...they are billionaires
"I aint sayin she a goldigger...(can you hear me mama), but she aint messin' with no br-broke".-Kanye circa 2005. Her whole estate is scadalous....
We should be thinking about little Dannilynn. Everyone else is dead. Even if she wasnt an heir to the old man someone shouldve thought about the child. His estate isnt even going to miss a million dollars. That couldve provided for her future. If he loved Anna enough to marry her Im sure taking care of Dannilynns future wasnt a problem. Everyone was just plain greedy. They all wanted their hand inthe pot. What a shame how money turns some people. They all should be ashamed of theirselves. Pathetic.
only in America, I am dead, broke, please send me the money to support my habits.
Those men and women who go after the rich and marry the rich just for wealth have a lesson to learn from this.
Yup.
Get it in writing.
Let the lawyers fight it out, and let Nicole RIP...do we really even need to be still talking about this?
This sucks... What happened to following the law... Communal property or a settlement there of...
One word will explain all of this. G R E E D.
Will the defendant please rise...?
Since everybody involved is dead except the grandchildren, the lawyers have found a great way to make money, steal through protracted legal fee's and the final decision is given by who? A bunch of lawyers. Its a win , win for the law school graduates.
Greed is what drives this. Plain and simple.
To the dum ass morons quoting the bible. U r both real anul no one knows when god is gonna say enough.you should till this to your state poliations.our newest being those mormons.they mormons are NOT a religon they are a cult.so if any one needs to put thing in order itS them and the rest of the american polatians exspecialy the judges,lawyers and most of all the repulicans.
All that lap dancing for nothing...Dang...!
Now leave it alone shes dead they r dead let them r.i.p.
man even from hell she's still in the news
I think this was the wrong decision. When Anna married that old geezer they both got what the wanted; she wanted a rich guy with one foot in the grave and he wanted a blonde bombshell. I think her estate absolutely deserves a portion of his estate.
Hey, I'm a hot girl. Can I have all your money? You know, so I can take it away from your family and spend it on rediculous things, then I'll get really fat and die of an OD in a hotel room.
Great, I hate seeing pimps make money
She crapped all in her casket.
It's about time.The lawyers were the only ones left in this case and they would use the dead like puppets on strings to make as much as they could.
who cares? we've already soon her boobage and more.
I liked Anna Nicole – sure she was quirky, crazy, wild, childlike....and that's what made her beautiful........
she looked like her breath smelled like vomit.
It is absolutlely PATHETIC how some people think they can become totally TASTELESS and DISGUSTING when they can do it behind a curtain of anonimity – to all the persons who have posted vile comments about a person who has died tragically, I pity you – you're probably too ignorant to even understand that you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Its the internet, nobody cares.
Thats wrong because she has a beautiful daughter left behind all this crap but shes well taking care of by her father thats what matter to me .she has all of her mother fortune anyway she is set for life .
i sure hope for the sake of her daughter that her ex-"babydaddy"(whatever..) has invested WISELY. Geez, anna nicole and the old man are very dead, and there's the kid, who'll need college money, and all the lawyers who'll need to be paid... Supreme court shouldve freed up a few bucks! Hey, someone should check out Clarence Thomas' connection to the Marshall clan -cuz im sure there is one. That sleezoid is one big bag of conflict of interest!
hi
100% not fair
2012 is coming and a lot of folks say “oh it’s the same as all the other false prediction”I don’t think so. You can feel and smell the fact that we as humans are on the verge of something that needs to change; you do not have to think “doomsday”, read more at TheDimensionMachine dot com
What you're feeling is the Holy Spirit warning humanity. You are hearing his words of warning through your own prism and are giving it a Mayan spin. Jesus is coming soon, so stop worrying about the Mayans predictions and accept Christ, who will save you from the wrath to come.
I agree with Dan. The Holy Spirit is talking and people best start listening. Read Revelations it's started already and if you don't understand it have a good preacher do it for you. The King is coming get your house in order. We should be praying for the child she left behind and the father raising her.
This poor girl didn't have a whole lot to build on in her life except her beauty, and she didn't do anything that countless other women haven't done (using her beauty) to try and make a life for herself and her son (who also passed away tragically). Whether that is appropriate or not is everyone's opinion I suppose, but the simple fact is that she died alone, in a hotel room, and long before her time. Nobody deserves that, and I only hope that she can now find the peace that she was so longed denied in her lifetime, and that her little daughter (who will never remember the short time she had with her Mother) can look back on her Mother's memory and know that her Mother loved her very much.
That was such a nice thing to say. And it is nice to see among all the stupid, heartless and unforgiving things other people are writing. I wish everyone would put empathy and concern for Dannilynn before the negative comments they are writing about Anna. Concern for an innocent child's happiness and well-being is so much more important.
She had nice boobage but overall too porky to be really all that hot
barfing while you are making woopie is a turn off.
Show me the body.
Have you ever seen a playboy?
Wow...karma's a beeetch. She used an old man for his money, took his family's money. Now she's dead, her son is dead, her daughter has no mother, and now she's losing her estate.
The old man used her for her funbags so i'd call it about even.
I believe she should get 1/2 of what he made for only the time they were married. I think it was 14 months. They were husband and wife and that sounds fair to me. It should be left in trust for her daughter. It's sad you were so mean about people you didn't know. None of us should speak ill of the dead. We all need to judge not.
I've got to agree with Ellen on this.
"None of us should speak ill of the dead."
That Adolf Hitler feller was sure a swell guy, wasn't he?
A dead no talent bimbo, isn't about time end to the stories about her.
You wasted tooooooo much bandwidth. All you needed to say is "The Dead Tell NO Tales"
Another Treasure Chest gone.
I know, I miss her chest too!
You mean those HUGE, heavy duty plastic, fake breast she wiggled around like jellos the silly news media wanted you folks to worship than the Living God?
Yep, those.
On what regulation the Supreme Court rule was based to rule this case?
In English, please.
It was based on INHERENT Special Clause reserved SOLELY for "Special Privileged White Folks". Too bad ain't that "WHITE". As sad as it's; you put yourself in the shoes of Black Folks in America and you will surely understand. Does Black Slogan "Judge Denied" ring a bell? We live by these each say in America.
Hard to win a case when you're dead...
They're all dead now - even the son who contested his father's will is dead.
He was an estate planning lawyer. If he'd wanted her to have more than what she got, he'd have made sure she got it. He only wanted one thing from her. And she only wanted one thing from him. He, however, was much smarter than she was.
His kids are greedy bastrds, especially the daughter. She was jealous, too.
To bad
I love the dead
before they're cold
Their doookie cabbage
for me to hold.
You misquoted Alice Cooper. I know those lyrics by heart.
Though I think the verdict is right, I still feel sorry for the poor innocent toddler caught up in this mess.
At least the little girl will not have sharks swimming around her trying to tap into the fortune. She may be luckier than it seems.
The toddler has enough money and was not an heir to the fortune of the old man. I am sure Anna left behind enough money and if not, the toddler's dad needs to get a job like the majority, what a concept. This was a joke from the beginning and I am glad she or her estate did not get away with this robbery. Just because she was using lawyers did not make it right. She was trying to take someone else's money and I am glad she did not get away with it.
Exactly! That little girl was highly prized as an heir of Nicole's. Everyone was claiming to be her father, even Zsa Zsa's husband, that fool! Now that she isn't worth that much, how well will she be taken care of? I hope the best for her future.
The Supreme Cour of the United States is a useless bunch of lawyers who waist taxpayers money. We should get ridd of them and establish a peoples court. These high paid idiots have a job for life and knowbody knows what they do.
They are havely bias and always in favour of our screwed up corrupted Gov.
That may be the dumbest thing I've read on a CNN message board in 5 years. You need to learn: A) how to spell before you criticize, B) what you are talking about in general, and C) that Supreme Court justices are appointed by the people that YOU vote for...
Cour, waist, ridd, knowbody, havely, favour? And we're supposed to take your opinion seriously?
If people like you are going to be on the 'peoples' court (perhaps you meant people's, possessive you know), I want nothing to do with it. You can't even spell or use correct grammar, why would I think that you understand ANYTHING about law? The average American is an idiot.
In fairness, jujubeans, honest did spell "favour" correctly. It's just an alternative spelling, similar to colour and neighbour. You can blame the UK or Canada (your great neighbour to the North)!
So you want Judge Judy to decide on these matters?
Honest,
You should move to another country for a few years and then read what you just wrote.
So-called "People's Court"s (usually prefaced by the word "Revolutionary" or "Socialist") are invariably smelly, full of soi-disant jurists who wouldn't know the law if it bit them on the taint, and badly decorated (usually in shades of red). True justice has never been as simple as a rule book or a lynch mob.
@honest = Honestly Illiterate.
Dude or Dudette, get an education.
Invest in a dictionary PLEASE
@honest... No... the waste is in the education you received. You used the wrong word and have no idea how to spell words correctly. Guess that just goes to show that even if you have a spell checker on the PC, you still need to have some sense in order to post on here.
I don't think we'll be removing the third branch of our government any time soon (there to keep things in check).
Judge Judy doesn't preside over The People's Court. I don't even think the judges since Wapner and Rusty ran the joint. Koch was awful, Judy's husband Sheindlin was humorous, but still no good. Milian, she's awful.
Wait, what? You don't have a receipt? I find in favor of the defendant.
This can't be right. This is America, where the court system is firmly anchored in the year 1790. Don't tell me that women are finally losing their leverage?
That leverage was just on loan.
You would prefer one rooted in what, Sharia? Just because the roots are there doesn't mean it's antiquated. It is constantly evolving. A high school civics book might might help.
Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I don't care because I am ghost and there are other rich ghosts for me to dig my gold from.
Thank you! That made me laugh.
...that's not fair. She (and her estate) are literally getting screwed in this, and so are a lot of other women. If the concept of community property isn't straightforward, then what is.
ofcpc1, she's dead. She nor her estate get nothing. Welcome to justice.
Ghost, thanks. That was funny.
Dead people suing dead people. Zombies have have come a long way....
That is disgusting. Shows an incredible lack of decency. Your mother must be so proud!
My mother is dead.
