Polar Opposites...


How crazy is this? After all Ana Nicole Smith has been through in the last few weeks, now this:
Anna Nicole Smith was forced to sell photos of her son Daniel Smith taken the night before he died in order to pay for his funeral expenses. The family portraits were taken in a hospital room in the Bahamas two days after the birth of Anna Nicole's daughter and hours before her 20-year-old son was found dead. Photo agency Getty Images sold the photos to US publication In Touch for $400,000 after a fierce bidding war. [imdb]
Who knew she was this destitute? After the E! show, I figured she got some cash back. Really, I know I'm not in the majority here, but she deserves to have that lawsuit be settled in her favor. It's not like she's asking for everything -- she's asking for 1/2 of everything... which is a whole damn lot. That guy had more money than God.

To the other extreme... Brangelina are donating oodles of cash to yet another charity:
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have handed out $1 million each in a whopping charity splurge. The organizations who will receive the amazing hand-out include Global Action For Children and Doctors Without Borders. [imdb]
Amazing. Gotta give 'em props.

Wasn't TrimSpa paying her anything??? God, that's just awful. She needs a new accountant if she can't hold on to money for more than a month.

Something doesn't ring true here. No way that she "had" to sell the pics. A funeral doesn't cost anywhere near $400k, and even if she were that destitute you're telling me that her agents who probably have made millions wouldn't spot her 50 grand for a funeral?

It's a real shame he died this young but I think there's a lot more to this story than we think.

yeah, you're probably right. something's not adding up.
