As first reported on Friday afternoon, Getty Images sent an email out to celebrity weekly editors hawking photos of Anna Nicole Smith, her newborn daughter, and her son, Daniel. The pictures were taken in the Bahamian hospital where, the next day, Daniel was found mysteriously dead. For an initial asking price of $200K, Getty would provide a handful of the tender! heartbreaking! tragic! images, the only caveat being that the buyer had to refrain from running the photos with any sort of negative press — which may be easier said than done if and when toxicology reports are released.
By the day’s end, In Touch had supposedly bought the photos for well over $300K ($375K was the number we’d heard tossed around). But the real question: who made the profit? Full article…
Out of consideration for Anna Nicole, her daughter and the memory of her son, I’ll not post the photos myself. Personally I find them heartwrenching to think that a moment that’s so very precious as this could be sold on the auction block like it was just another day on the set.
If you care to view the photos there are several Getty images here
My heart goes out to Anna Nicole – it’s not going to be tough just now, but in the years to come – as baby Hannah’s birth celebration will always have the dark cloud lurking just above as a mother mourns the progressing anniversary of the loss of her first born.
In ending, I have to side with many of the others keeping watch on this story and say that something is terribly shady about this Howard K. Stern dude!
Dannielynn looks just like her father Larry Birkhead. She is a doll and he will make the greatest father……
funny that babe was named HANNAH before changed to Dannielynn….wonder if there is an original birthcertificate inthe name of “hannah” before the name change…..and does it show Stern listed as “father”
