Access Hollywood is reporting that Anna Nicole Smith has been rushed from the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida to the emergency room after collapsing at the hotel.
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that she's dead.
UPDATE: CNN is also reporting the death, noting with considerable understatement that news from the scene is traveling quickly. We've been watching for at least two minutes and haven't yet heard the word "overdose" used.
UPDATE 2: CNN's Wolf Blitzer, probably finding himself a little out of his element in covering Anna Nicole, has turned to the guy from Showbiz Tonight to fill him in on her backstory while he awaits meaningful updates.
UPDATE 3: While they wait for an announced press conference, CNN continues its Parade Of Anna Nicole Experts. Dr. Sanjay Gupta briefly speculates about the deleterious effects of "too much medication" (we're paraphrasing here) on the human heart, immediately followed by Larry King's fond recollections of Smith. The word "classy" has been used. By King. We imagine Gupta didn't have much personal contact with her.
