Anna Nicole Smith displays "a rollercoaster of emotions" talking of her son's death and daughter's birth to the U.S. TV show, "Entertainment Tonight."
Smith gave her first public interview since the September birth of Dannielynn and death of her 20-year-old son to "ET" reporter Mark Steines, who recounted the experience on his blog.
Steines reported "fear of constant paparazzi" has Smith and her newborn living like prisoners in a $1 million Nassau, Bahamas, compound.
He described the former Playboy Playmate as "calmer, sadder, a bit broken, yet ... quite beautiful."
Smith "giggles like a schoolgirl" talking about her partner and attorney, Howard K. Stern, and beams at the newborn, whose paternity is in dispute. Photographer Larry Birkhead has filed suit in Los Angeles seeking a paternity test to determine whether he or Stern fathered the little girl.
The reality TV star and spokesmodel for TrimSpa crumbled "like a stack of cards" when her son's name was mentioned, Steines wrote, adding in his 15 years with "Entertainment Tonight," he had "never seen such a level of heart break."
The first part of the interview airs Thursday on "Entertainment Tonight."
