 HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - Fans of Anna Nicole Smith aren't making pilgrimages to the place where she spent her final days. They're not leaving flowers. They're not gathering in crowds to express their grief. Instead, emotions are being expressed in a way as uniquely modern as Smith's fame — on blogs, Web pages and online message boards where true fans battle naysayers to get their voices heard.
"I loved her," fans beam. "I miss her," others write. "She was beautiful," they say.
On Facebook, hundreds of Anna Nicole pages are buzzing with gossip and outpourings of emotion. YouTube has logged hundreds of thousands of hits on Anna Nicole videos, including some fan-produced tributes. One fan put a message on Craigslist seeking others touched by the starlet's death for a candlelight vigil in New York's Union Square.
