Lane Bryant Reportedly Drops Anna Nicole
Mon, Sep 16, 2002 06:12 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Anna Nicole Smith may have her own TV show, but she no longer has a modeling gig with Lane Bryant.

The apparel chain, which caters to plus-size women, apparently no longer wants to be associated with Smith after seeing her exploits on E!'s "Anna Nicole Show," which shows the life of the former Playmate and billionaire's widow in a rather unflattering light.

"Lane Bryant only hired her for several shows -- she was never on staff," a fashion-industry source tells the New York Post. "I doubt she'll be in this year."

New York's fashion week begins Wednesday (Sept. 1 Cool

, and sources tell the paper that Smith will not be part of any Lane Bryant show. A representative for the company says only that no plans for its show have been finalized.

I'm posting this 'cause I saw the episode mentioned here, and I totally agree with this summary!

Sunday night I exposed my innocent eyes to the monstrosity that is The Anna Nicole Show. (Forgive me, dear tainted eyes, for subjecting you to something that no one should have to see. )
Oui. That girl. That big, big girl. Anna Nicole Smith looks like a cross between RuPaul and any balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. But it's not her size that bothers me. What bugs me is the way she talks her lazy NC-17 baby talk through beautiful veneers that cover neglected and rotten teeth. It's the way she amuses herself with vulgarity -- in the most unfunny ways. It's the way she treat's the people around her like they are her Barbie and Ken dolls. She places them here and there, tells them what to do, has them dance for her amusement, then twists their heads off and bends their legs backwards.
Anna Nicole is one dead millionaire husband away from wearing a gravy stained house dress and shuffling behind a Wal-Mart shopping cart. Luckily for her, Anna is the widow of a very old, very rich man, Anna is living a life of luxury. She is fawned over, and indulged by everyone.
The Anna Nicole Show's cast of real life characters:
1. "Best Friend", Howard (Howard happens to be the lawyer helping Anna settle her claim on her deceased husband estate. Howard has seen the numbers. He is sticking around. Best Friends 4-ever!)
2. Her female assistant, Kim (Kim is pathetically in love with Anna. Kim is to Anna what Smithers is to Mr. Burns on The Simpsons.)
3. Anna's teenage son. (His hobbies are crying under his bed, and getting beaten-up at school.)
4. Sugar Pie the dog (I haven't seen enough of the show to know what Sugar Pie does.)
5. Anna's fabulous decorator, Bobby Trendy (Bobby wears lip-gloss and has Mickey Rourke's skin, pre-dermabrasion. Trendy is more feminine than most woman could ever hope to be.)
E! packages the show prettily, and passes it off as entertainment. If this is entertainment, then so was the time I watched a stupefied guy standing on his clothes in the middle of a city street. It's like yes I looked, but I did not want to keep looking. And it made me sad. Last Sunday evening, I found myself watching another stupefied person. In this instance, the person was not standing on her clothes (though you know she would be willing to try that) she was bulging within her attire. No calls to the police could remedy this situation.
The first part of last Sunday's show passed in a blur of bad taste, which I managed to repress. (I didn't see Howard giving Anna a "table dance". I'm telling you, I didn't!)
Later in the show, after a refreshing commercial break, Bobby Trendy sashayed onto my TV screen. (I found myself thinking that a 26" screen is entirely too big. And who said that the "ghosts" and rolling pictures of yesteryear were such a bad thing? Is "living color" over rated? Damn my clear RCA picture!) Mr. Trendy was helping to furnish Anna's home. His latest offerings were brought into question by Howard. I agreed with Howard that the fancy pillows for the bedroom looked like second rate goods. I could imagined Anna shaking the cheaply made pillows, the chopped chicken feathers that served as trim polluting the already questionable air in the room.
Though Howard was suspicious, Anna seem satisfied with the things Bobby delivered. ...Or was it that she was preoccupied with the rubber nipples that Howard brought to amuse her. She got mad at Howard when he didn't go along with her clever plan to fool people with the fake nips she had stuck down her top.
(Anna: "Eeeee. Don't tell them about the nipples Howard. You are a complete jackass."
Howard: But Anna, they saw you put them in your shirt. It's all on tape.)
Earlier in the show, the gang was in a limo. The sun dared to shine into Ann's side of the car. That was enough to get everyone scurrying to relieve her of such an unsettling predicament. Everyone traded seats. I am not sure who got the seat of el sol. (It was probably servant girl/assistant, Ms. Smithers.) Later, there was no good seat in the limo, when Anna stretched her bulk across the laps of her underlings. (Howard: Yes, Anna, this is just fine. Please get comfortable. Note to self: Have my gangrenous legs removed when we get back home.)
At some point in the show, Anna interviewed four chefs, one of which was to be granted the privilege of becoming her new cook. Although the ability to open a bag of Cheeto's could have sealed the deal, they all made efforts to prepare healthful, tasty dishes for Anna. Three of the four hapless chefs made fish dishes. (Anna doesn't like fish, you idiots!!) The fourth chef got the job. He, ingeniously, had made a non-fish dessert. Sadly, only one of the chefs had the Schweaty Balls not to literally jump when Anna commanded it.
So that was my Sunday night with Anna. It was no Wonderful World of Disney. I don't think I will watch again. The pain of having my retinas disinfected and sent to therapy was just too great.

Anna Hits A Wall
NY Post

'THE Anna Nicole Show," which looked to be the summer's breakout hit, has quietly been sliding down the ratings charts since its blockbuster debut.

In little more than a month, the show has lost more than half its audience.

The Sunday-night reality show, detailing the often bizarre backstage life of zaftig model Anna Nicole Smith, premiered with a hefty 4.1 million viewers - the biggest series premiere in E! history.

But since then, it's lost viewers each week - reaching a low of 1.8 million viewers on Sept. 8 before bouncing back slightly last Sunday night.

The show that was supposed to be the successor to "The Osbournes" is slowly sinking in the west.

"If you want to hold it against us that we had a phenomenal premiere, go ahead," says Mark Sonnenberg, E!'s executive vice president of entertainment.

"The show is averaging close to a 2 rating. Yeah, compared to a 4 rating it's down . . . but it's still the highest-rated show on the network and has improved its timeslot average by almost 25 percent in households.

"We could sit here and try to put a spin on it, but we got a phenomenal [premiere] tune in and a lot of people who checked that show out weren't our core audience," he said.

Viewers and critics alike, some calling the show "train wreck TV," were initially fascinated by the behavior of Smith - who seems at times punch-drunk and/or nearly inarticulate.

So has that fascination worn off by now?

"Anna Nicole is a curiousity and isn't as compelling as the characters on 'The Osbournes.' This show is all about her, and after a while, it's a little tragic," says industry analyst Stacey Lynn Koerner of Initiative Media.

"You either like her or you don't, you're either intrigued by her or you're not."

Last Sunday's "Anna Nicole Show" did register an uptick in viewers - gaining 300,000 eyeballs from the week before.

Anna Nicole Joins Rich Dating Agency
Press Association

Anna Nicole Smith has enrolled at a dating agency for the wealthy.

And the actress - who admits she is desperate for more children - has already been on her first date with a company boss, she told BBC programme Liquid News.

Smith, 34, is still hoping to inherit a huge fortune following the death of her former husband, billionaire J Howard Marshall who was in his 80s when they married.

She said she had resorted to the exclusive agency because she was rarely propositioned.

"No-one ever asks me out - I don't go out, so if I'm not out no one can ask me. I just want to try, try, try to have more kids."

Voluptuous Smith said that she met her 38-year-old blind date through the agency: "He was a very nice gentleman and he brought me roses which I love. And he worked for a company or he owned the company I'm not sure which.

"He brought me a bunch of the products over, so it was really nice. I love presents. They were swimsuits. Apparently he somehow got my size beforehand because they all fit."

She said age was not important: "I just want someone who's established and is secure with their life."

E! Renews 'Anna Nicole'
Thu, Oct 24, 2002 01:12 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - E! can't get enough of Anna Nicole Smith.

The cable network has renewed "The Anna Nicole Show" for a second season, meaning cameras will once again follow the former Playboy Playmate of the Year and widow of a billionaire through her decidedly more-than-normal life.

"'The Anna Nicole Show' has been a huge success for E!," says Mark Sonnenberg, the network's executive vice president for entertainment. "Viewers are captivated by Anna Nicole's surreal world."

The series, developed after "The Osbournes" became a hit for MTV, debuted in August to more than 4 million viewers, making it the highest-rated show in E!'s history. Ratings have dropped considerably since then, but "Anna Nicole" still averages a 2.1 household rating, far better than anything else that's aired in its timeslot (10 p.m. ET Sundays). The series has also been big among adults 18-34 and 18-49, the network's target audience.

After appearing in Playboy and ad campaigns for Guess? jeans, Smith made headlines when, at age 26, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Since Marshall's death in 1995, she's waged a court battle against Marshall's son over how the estate should be divided. The case is still working its way through the legal system.

Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, her assistant, Kim, and her dog, Sugar Pie, are also regulars on the show.

Production on the new season of "The Anna Nicole Show" will begin in November for a premiere in early 2003.
