Claim to fame:“The Anna Nicole Show”
Point of Meltdown: The 2004 American Music Awards. Poor Anna Nicole... where do we even start? The Playboy model/famous widow/reality star/TrimSpa spokesperson had a rocky road throughout her time in the public eye, culminating in her death by accidental drug overdose in 2007. But the first time the general public got a sense that something was really wrong with Anna Nicole was her appearance at the American Music Awards in 2004, nine months after her reality show on E! had been canceled. Anna’s speech was slurred, she seemed woozy, and at one point during her live presentation she threw up her arms and asked the crowd if they liked her body, then babbled about TrimSpa. Her reps denied that she was under the influence of any controlled substances, but instead blamed post-workout pain. We’re inclined to doubt that explanation.
