Anna Nicole blames bad eyes for AMA antics

Busty blonde Anna Nicole Smith has blamed her slurred speech at Sunday's American Music Awards on her 'bad eyes' - not alcohol, as has been suggested.

The former Playboy model, 36, prompted speculation she was intoxicated at the star-studded ceremony when she took to the stage to introduce Kanye West.

While gossip circulates about the slimmed-down Texan, her lawyer, Howard K Stern, blames faulty technology and near sightedness for the seemingly erratic behaviour.

He explains: "She couldn't really read the teleprompter because she has bad eyes. She flubbed a line, but she's fine. Anna did numerous other interviews afterwards where it's obvious that she's fine."
