Anna Nicole Smith’s first interview this Thursday on both ‘The Insider’ and ‘Entertainment Tonight’.

I just saw a clip of the interview and Anna said if she didn’t have her daughter and husband with her now, that she probably wouldn’t be alive today. She also says she’ll never speak to her mother ever again. Her mother says that Daniel was murdered by Anna’s husband Howard and it was so when Anna dies, then Howard gets all the money. Does her mother think Howard will now “kill” Anna?? Her sister is also writing a tell-all book on Anna and blames Daniel’s death on Anna. And people wonder why she doesn’t talk to her family. But this is from Entertainment Tonight’s Mark Steines’ blog:

You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the rumors. Now, hear ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s side for the very first time — only on ET starting this Thursday.

MARK STEINES here with a very special report on what I consider to be one of the most interesting experiences of my 15 years at Entertainment Tonight.

Inside Anna’s Bahamian compound with ET’s executive producer Linda Bell Blue, Howard K. Stern, baby Dannielynn, Anna Nicole and senior supervising producer Bonnie Tiegel.

I just flew back from the Bahamas, where I sat down for an exclusive interview with Anna Nicole Smith. I was the only reporter allowed inside her Bahamian compound for what would be one of the most in-depth interviews she’s ever done, and the only interview she has given since the death of her son and the birth of her daughter.

Anna Nicole was finally ready to talk about these events, and she only wanted to talk to Entertainment Tonight.

Driving through the gates of Anna’s home in Nassau with executive producer LINDA BELL BLUE, I noticed there are absolutely no signs of life on the outside. I would come to learn that the fear of constant paparazzi keeps Anna and her support team locked up, blinds drawn, and constantly aware that prying eyes are trying to snap photos.

There is a pool no one uses, gardens no one visits and terraces no one stands on to take in the very warm night air. Anna and her baby live pretty much like prisoners inside this home and we were actually some pretty welcome guests.

From the moment I saw her enter the room, I knew this was not the Anna Nicole I had interviewed before. She seemed calmer, sadder, a bit of a broken bird, yet she looked quite beautiful. She introduced me to her daughter, DANNIELYNN, and the man she calls her husband, HOWARD K. STERN. She was a very gracious host in the midst of some pretty dramatic times.

The interview is a veritable rollercoaster of emotions. She giggles like a schoolgirl when she talks about the first time she realized she was in love with Howard. She beams like a mother when she holds little Dannielynn and says, “Can you say mommy?”

But it is when she utters the name of her son DANIEL that Anna Nicole is no longer able to compose herself. She crumbles like a house of cards, tears pouring out of her eyes, her body shaking from the sobbing. This is not just a controversial, misunderstood woman; this is a mother who has lost a child.

I have done quite a few interviews over the years for ET and I have never seen the level of heartbreak I witnessed in the Bahamas. I think when you tune in to our exclusive interviews with Anna Nicole — starting on Thursday, November 2nd — you may walk away with a different opinion about this particular star. I know I did. . . . . . .Source
