Defamer Remembers: An Unforgettable Year of Anna Nicole

Realizing that we can't hope to be as extemporaneously eloquent as an old pro like Larry King, who through his warm evocations of a "classy" and "fun" (though certainly "not the smartest woman in the world") Anna Nicole Smith, pulled a grieving Nation to his consoling, concave bosom and ushered us through this afternoon's harrowing ordeal, we instead choose to remember Smith's life by looking back at her final, tumultuous year. Take a moment to browse these links from our previous coverage of Smith's tragic (and still-unfolding) story, which collectively serve as a cautionary narrative for anyone considering inviting E!'s cameras into their home--while you're busy with that, we'll be submerging our heads in the cleansing waters of the baby duck-tub, trying to get some perspective on what we've all been through.
