John Travolta - Ready to Testify in the Bahamas

trix — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:02:00 GMT

John Travolta is on his way to the Bahamas. He is to testify in the case against the men who tried to extort millions of dollars from him in January.

Two of the men being charged have pled not guilty of claiming to have embarrassing information regarding the death of 16-year-old Jett Travolta.

The trial is expected to last three weeks and this is just not something that any one who has lost a loved one should have to go through. I'm sure he just wants to get it over with and who knows, maybe it will help with the grieving process.

It's just horrible that people want to take a traumatic situation and make it worse by trying to profit off of those in pain.

BREAKING NEWS: Howard K. Stern Arrested in Anna Nicole Drug Case

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:05:00 GMT

Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer and companion, reportedly turned himself in to authorities last night. Along with two other doctors, he'll be arrested and charged with allegedly conspiring to furnish drugs to Smith prior to her death in 2007. The complaint alleges that Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61, and Stern, 40, provided drugs to Smith between June 5, 2004, and January 26, 2007. According to the complaint, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61, and Stern, 40, provided drugs to Smith between June 5, 2004, and January 26, 2007.

Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007 after she was found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Florida. The coroner's office ruled that Smith died of "combined drug intoxication" with the sleeping medication chloral hydrate as the "major component," although no illegal drugs were found in her system. Smith's death came less than five months after the death of her son Daniel, who died while visiting his mother in the hospital after the birth of his half-sister Dannielynn.

According to US magazine, the charges are as follows:

Kapoor and Stern were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 9, 2004, and Sept. 22, 2006. Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 5, 2004, and Jan. 26, 2007.

Kapoor and Eroshevich each was charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Each also was charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.

Kapoor and Stern were charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict." Eroshevich was charged with the same crime in a separate count. Bail was recommended at $20,000 for each.

Stern and Smith exchanged wedding vows in a commitment ceremony on Sept. 28, 2006 on a catamaran off the coast of the Bahamas. They reportedly chose to live there to avoid a paternity test of Smith's daughter, Dannielynn. Smith's former lover Larry Birkhead was later proven to be Dannielynn's father and was awarded custody.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but thank goodness little Dannielynn lives with Birkhead - who knew he'd be the better father in this whole twisted scenario? I always thought Stern was somehow responsible for Anna Nicole's death, and have a feeling he had something to do with the death of Smith's son, Daniel, whose death was attributed to an overdose of methadone and escitalopram. It was never determined how he came into possession of the drugs.

Photos: Dannielynn Is Precious In Yellow

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 19:05:00 GMT

Dannielynn, 2, daughter of Larry Birkhead and the late Anna Nicole Smith, looks adorable in her yellow ensemble. The sweet tot and her daddy were spotted at LAX airport on Sunday afternoon, and as usual, Dannielynn stole the spotlight.

Couple more pics after the jump!

Larry is auctioning a lot of Dannielynn's clothes on Ebay this week and the proceeds will benefit children affected by HIV and AIDS. Birkhead is honoring Smith - the two of them had visited Camp Kindle, which helps assist children with HIV and AIDS. I guess Larry isn't all bad!

Little Dannielynn, 2-year-old daughter of Larry Birkhead and the late Anna Nicole Smith, is a spitting image of her mom. Larry and Dannielynn sat down with E! and guess who stole the show ... not hard to figure out!

Larry said, "When I see Dannielynn and she is just a spitting image of her mother, that's a little bit... I don't want to say eerie, but it is a little odd - and it is kind of comforting as well."

He's right - she looks very much like her late mom. She's definitely a beautiful little girl!

John Travolta Extortion Case: Mystery Document Revealed

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:12:00 GMT

The 'mystery document' reportedly at the center of the John Travolta extortion case has been revealed. Sources with knowledge of the investigation tell TMZ that the document is "an authorization for transporting Jett Travolta in the ambulance."

TMZ says:

"We're told John Travolta and Kelly Preston had an issue over where Jett Travolta should be taken for emergency treatment. We do not have further specifics, nor do we know why the alleged extortionists thought it was worth $25 million to keep private."

"The Nassau Guardian has published a story saying it's a "refusal to transport" document. The paper cites the Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Marvin Dames, who says the document "is signed by a party when refusing, for example, emergency medical services from trained personnel."

Our sources say John and Kelly did not refuse treatment for Jett, but had an issue over where he should be treated."

Call me cynical, but I'm thinking this latest development is going to lead to lots of lurid speculation that Travolta and Preston somehow hindered treatment of their son. Let's hope they leave these grieving parents alone.

John Travolta Extortion Plot Revealed; Paramedic Charged

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:05:00 GMT

A Bahamas paramedic who was the first to arrive on the scene to treat Jett Travolta on Jan. 2 has been formally charged in the alleged plot to extort money from John Travolta. Ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and Pleasant Bridgewater, an attorney from Grand Bahama are accused of attempting to extort $25 million from Travolta. Bridgewater was released on $40,000 bail on Friday; a third person, Obie Wilchombe, a former member of Parliament and 'friend' of Travolta's was questioned but then released.

Authorities have not revealed the specifics of the alleged extortion, although TMZ is reporting that it involves a document related to the death of Jett. The prosecutor in the case is saying that the document is not yet in their possession and if Lightbourne is released he'll destroy it; he is currently being held without bail. There are also reports that Bahamian police have recordings of the individuals under suspicion.

It's incomprehensible that while Travolta and wife Kelly Preston deal with every parent's nightmare, the death of their child, there are individuals who would take advantage of them at this time. We can only hope they're brought to justice.

Jett Travolta's Death Investigated by Police

Whit Honea — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:05:00 GMT

Police are investigating the tragic death of Jett Travolta.

According to TMZ, who sites sources at the Freeport Grand Bahama Police Department: "Serious Crimes Section is conducting an investigation into the death of Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston, but cops don't believe any crime was involved."

The Serious Crime Section is conducting the investigation due to the "high profile nature of the death."

While some reports have Jett's death as a result of either a seizure, a fall in the bath, or a combination of both, a time line has yet to be established. One issue the police are having is that "Jett was last seen going to the bathroom on January 1st, yet his body was not discovered until 10 AM the next day."

I can't say that I care for that sort of language as it implies suspicion where it's pretty clear none belongs. Still, the police need to do their job, and as much as it hurts the Travolta's probably want as much information as they can get.

Our hearts continue to go out to the Travoltas during this incredibly sad time.

Unveiling: Anna Nicole's New Gravestone

Sassy Smith — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:06:00 GMT

Model and actress Anna Nicole Smith passed away on February 8, 2007 - hard to believe it's been almost two years - and the single mom of two (her son Daniel died September 10, 2006) was buried in the Bahamas, beside her son. At the time, her gravesite (and Daniel's) was not given a headstone. However, Larry Birkhead, the father of her daughter Dannielynn, commissioned a 6x5 foot black granite monument.

Photo after the jump

Birkhead, along with Anna Nicole's friend and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, stood together during the unveiling. No word if little Dannielynn was there to witness it. The gravestone arrived in the Bahamas on what would have been Anna's 41st birthday on November 28.

Smith's deceased husband J. Howard Marshall is listed on the gravestone (they were married in 1994 and he died August 4,1995).

It's slightly over-the-top but that was Anna Nicole's personality so I guess it suits her.

Jewel and Ty Murray: Married and...Expecting?

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:05:00 GMT

People magazine is reporting that singer Jewel and her longtime boyfriend, rodeo champ Ty Murray, eloped to the Bahamas Thursday and were married in a private ceremony. I think she's pregnant, and here's my totally unsubstantiated, but highly logical and probable reason:

Jewel and Murray have been together for ten years, and she said a recent interview that she was in no rush to wed. "We don't know if there's a point – we've lapped our friends who've gotten married and divorced."

But then Jewel goes on to say, "We probably would if we had kids – we're just not sure we want them yet."

And there's your smoking gun! Expect a denial from her rep soon, then a 'no comment' and then lots of pictures of Jewel wearing big tops and carrying a huge purse.

Little Dannielynn Leaving L.A.!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:06:00 GMT

Larry Birkhead and his daughter Dannielynn are leaving L.A.! I think it's about time. Dannielynn, 21-months-old, is a beautiful little girl and what parent wouldn't want to show her off to the world? However, Birkhead seemed to take that literally, and constantly puts his daughter out there, always inviting certain 'entertainment' shows along to whatever function he was taking her to. Hopefully Dannielynn can grow up somewhat normally despite who her famous mother is (the late Anna Nicole Smith) and all the tragedy that has followed her around. I'm sure Larry is a loving father and does want to give his girl the best possible life. The father and daughter duo are heading to Louisville, Ky.

Larry tells PEOPLE, that he has bought a 10,000-sq-ft. home, that boasts six bedrooms, 40-ft ceilings and is modeled after a Sicilian church. It's not completed and needs plenty of hard work and according to Birkhead, "looks like a haunted house," but he loves it.

"When I walked in, I said to myself, 'This is our home!'"

He said he'll probably sell the Los Angeles home because it's got too many memories of Anna Nicole and her late son, Daniel, who both passed away from drug-lated complications.

He said, "At first, I couldn't imagine parting with it. Then I realized I was probably holding on to it for the wrong reasons, thinking to myself that would ease the pain of losing Anna and Daniel. I have always thought that it would be great for Dannielynn to grow up in her mother's home; however, there is no yard as it is over a canyon.

"There also isn't any little friends for her to run around with – which makes the idea of Kentucky even more inviting."

Dannielynn needs little friends Larry, for sure!

Mariah Carey Marriage Rumor: CONFIRMED

HerBadMother — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:18:00 GMT

That wedding rumor about Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon that we were hearing about yesterday? It's been confirmed by Cannon's family.

E! Online reports:

Family member Linda Cannon has confirmed to E! News that the couple are, in fact, married

"Yes, we know," she says. "He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him."

Linda Cannon wouldn't confirm an earlier report that had the impromptu nuptials taking place yesterday at Carey's new home in the Bahamas, only that Nick and his platinum-selling girlfriend have made it official.

"I’m not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

No word yet on whether this wedding - like that between Beyonce and Jay-Z last month - had any elements of, erm, shotgunnyness, but you know that everybody's wondering. Mariah's gone on record as saying she's not ready for kids, but still. Quicky love and marriage, on the the down-low? Often followed by a baby carriage.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Married...and Expecting?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:07:00 GMT

Rumors are swirling that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were married on Wednesday in a small ceremony on an island. Of course, the impulsive nuptials could only mean one thing, right? Mariah is pregnant. Either that or they just decided to have an impulsive, small wedding ceremony on an island. But don't rain on my parade, people.

The two have been dating since rapper-actor Cannon, 27, directed Carey's video for her single "Bye Bye" in March. Mariah, 38, sparked engagement rumors last week when she was seen flashing a hugh rock on her left ring finger.

Adding fuel to the fire are a series of cryptic updates that Carey's nephew, Shawn McDonald posted to his Facebook page earlier in the week:

4/27 – Shawn is going to the Bahamas for a week early tuesday AM.

4/28– Shawn is looking forward to this week, but quite curious as to how things will shake out next week...

4/30 – Shawn is a witness.

If the marriage rumors are true, the quickie nature of the ceremony would be out of character for Carey who was previously wed to music mogul Tommy Mottolla in a huge lavish ceremony.

See, I told you she was pregnant.

Anna Nicole's Son Died Accidentally

HerBadMother — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:26:00 GMT

The death of Anna Nicole's son, Daniel, has been officially ruled accidental.

From TMZ: A jury in the Bahamas investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel has ruled it was caused by an accidental drug overdose, recommending no criminal charges be filed... The jury unanimously concluded Daniel died from "non-dependent drug use" -- meaning he wasn't addicted to what killed him.

Guess that gets almost-stepdaddy Howard K Stern for responsibility, but it doesn't make Daniel's death - or the whole Smith family saga-of-sadness - any less tragic.

Little Dannielynn - Sole Heir To Anna Nicole's Estate

Sassy Smith — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:31:00 GMT

Sweet baby girl, Dannielynn - daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead - has been officially declared the sole heir to her mother's estate.

Anna's companion and attorney Howard K. Stern had been fighting to honor Anna Nicole's final wishes - her will was drawn up in 2001 - five years before the birth of Dannielynn.

The judge also established a trust in Dannielynn's name and has named Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead as co-trustees. The little girl could possibly inherit millions from the huge trust of her mom's late husband, billionaire J.Howard Marshall. That court case is still tied up in the legal system.

Little Dannielynn Recovering After Eye Surgery

Sassy Smith — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 17:04:00 GMT

Dannielynn, daughter of Larry Birkhead and Anna Nicole Smith has undergone eye surgery to correct her strabismus. According to People, the toddler is "home from surgery and resting comfortably."

Birkhead told ET: "My thanks go out to Dr. Arthur Rosenbaum and the Jules Stein Eye Institute staff for taking great care of Dannielynn."

Larry was at first reluctant to consider surgery for his daughter ~~but he doesn't mind pimping her out~~. "A lot of parents... gave me a lot of support and a lot of encouraging words and gave me the strength. I'm a baby when it comes to needles myself, and I definately don't want to hand my child over to some surgeons. So, it's a little nerve-racking but she's in the best doctors' hands."

Strange that the man is iffy about giving his daughter medical treatment to benefit her but he doesn't mind shoving her in the public eye to make a few bucks. Interesting.

Larry Birkhead: Would He Really Sink This Low?

HerBadMother — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 17:20:00 GMT

Larry Birkhead says that he wouldn't sink so low as to sell filming rights to his toddler daughter's eye surgery - she has strabismus, which causes one eye to cross - next month, but reliable sources are saying otherwise, according to one gossip site. And Larry himself admits that he's not above, you know, selling access to his daughter post-surgery.

SCUM. BAG.

Page Six is reporting that Birkhead, Anna Nicole Smith's lover and father of her daughter Dannielynn, will invite "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider" camera crews "into the hospital when the tot has the operation next month. Birkhead, who has raked in millions from photos and interviews based around Dannielynn, was set to get $250,000 for the latest footage, according to our source."

Birkhead denies this. Sort of. "I don't mind letting the world know how she is when she's done, but no cameras will be there during the surgery.* The only reason I spoke about it to begin with was because people blamed Anna's medications when in fact it's genetic."

*(Italics added to underscore scumbagness of speaker.)

Oh, nice. So, no cameras during the surgery, but they can come in after the surgery? That's responsible of him, to draw such important distinctions between exploiting his baby girl when she's unconscious and on an operating table, and exploiting her when she's just resumed unconsciousness and is in a hospital bed.

Someone take that girl away from him, please.

Perez Hilton thinks so. He's reporting that Anna Nicole Smith's former bodyguard has more or less confirmed it in an interview with Access Hollywood:

According to Big Moe, Anna told him that due to Birkhead's "lifestyle" there would be no strings attached. "What's his lifestyle?" Access Hollywod's reporter asked. "Well, she told me that, you know, he was a homosexual," Big Moe said. "She knew deep down that he didn't want to be with her."

I'd chalk this up to wishful thinking on Perez's part, but hey - he got the story from Access Hollywood, so.

Either way, who cares? He's not really a catch for either sex. Well, maybe for Perez (oooh, snap!)

Larry Birkhead has posted a memorial - with a little message from him and Dannielynn - to Anna Nicole over at his website. It's basically a sweet little personal message and, um, the picture shown above.

I don't know. I mean, it's sweet and all to memorialize your dead former lover and mother of your child, but that picture? Just a tad creepy as a death memorial, and all the more so with a toddler's name signed to it.

I mean, couldn't he find a pic that was a little less drugged-up-Playboy-centerfold, and a little bit more, I don't know, wakeful mother?

I know; it's the height (depth) of crass meanness to criticize someone's memorial, but still. I'm a bit creeped out by it. Can't help it. Sorry.

RIP, Anna. RIP.

The Truth About Dannielynn's "Possible Blindness"

Anna Nicole Smith: One Year After Her Death

Sassy Smith — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:02:00 GMT

Anna Nicole Smith died one year ago today - and yet, she's still in the headlines, still thought of, obviously by her friends and family, but the general public too.

She was a larger than life icon at times, but was often thought of as being "famous for being famous." She modeled, posed for Playboy, did a few movies, some television shows, was featured in a few music videos, had her own reality TV program, married some really, really old billionaire, was sometimes a trainwreck in the things that she did, battled her weight in the public eye and yet, she still managed to endear people to her.

Perhaps she was a bit misguided at times, sometimes came off like a bit of a nut, but I will say, she was a woman who loved her children dearly. She was predeceased by her son Daniel, who passed away in her hospital room in September of 2006 - just three days after his baby sister, Dannielynn was born.

Most say that Anna Nicole died the day that her son died, or at least her will to really live. She began (or continued) to self medicate and died of "combined drug intoxication."

She left behind her sweet baby Dannielynn, who's father is Larry Birkhead. I hope that Mr. Birkhead gets his act together and stops exploiting his little girl. She will most likely have to endure the public eye when she's grown just because of who her parents are, particularly her mother, so why not let her have a few years without Entertainment Tonight following her?

Rest in peace, Anna, rest in peace.

Little Dannielynn: My Daddy Likes To Pimp Me Out

Sassy Smith — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:33:00 GMT

I had such high hopes for Larry Birkhead after reading and writing about his daughter's eye condition. Now, not so much.

Birkhead took his daughter, Dannielynn, to visit her mother's grave -the late Anna Nicole Smith. While I'm very respectful of anyone who wants to visit the grave of a loved one, and there's nothing wrong with Larry wanting his little girl to know her mother in whatever way is possible since she's no longer on this earth, but... why in hell would he have to bring along Entertainment Tonight?

Isn't it something private and sacred when one visits a cementary? Why would a father feel the need to exploit his baby girl?

Of course Larry Birkhead gave an interview with E.T....gotta make money somehow right? And E.T. will air this over several days, to get the most bang for their buck most likely.

Entertainment Tonight:

LARRY AND DANNIELYNN BIRKHEAD VISIT THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH ON THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH

February 5, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)– ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's JANN CARL was exclusively with Larry Birkhead and daughter Dannielynn this week in Nassau, Bahamas as the 17-month-old made her first trip back to visit her mother and brother's graves, one year after her mother's sudden death.

In an a multi-part interview to begin airing on Wednesday, February 6th, Birkhead says the visit is difficult for him, but he arranged it for his daughter, "It's tough. Even though she doesn't understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom." When they arrived at the unmarked gravesites, Dannielynn placed a pink toy turtle on Anna Nicole's plot and whispered, "mama."

On why the graves of Anna Nicole and Daniel are without tombstones, Birkhead says, "A rough draft came back with a sketch of a picture I didn't care for. I could just hear her hitting me over the head saying, 'Why did you let that picture go down!?'" Birkhead reveals that the design of the headstone will be "so grand and big. It's going to encompass Daniel's stone too."

When asked how he feels about making the journey from Los Angeles to Nassau, Birkhead speaks candidly, "I don't like the fact that they're here, I never did. I know that Daniel didn't want to be here and I know that his mother was only here because of what was going on between us with the paternity question. To me it feels really odd." On if he has considered moving the graves, he says, "I'm going to leave the decision to Dannielynn when she's older. It would probably be very hard, if not impossible to take both of them and I definitely don't want to separate them."

In an effort to keep Anna's memory alive for their daughter, Birkhead tells ET, "I keep a lot of memories around. I quiz her and she knows Mama. I say, 'Where's Mama?' and she'll give Mama a kiss on the picture."

I absolutely believe Larry should keep Anna's memory alive for his little girl but to take TV camera's along for the ride, is sad and exploitive.

The Truth About Dannielynn's "Possible Blindness"

Sassy Smith — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:32:00 GMT

I had told you about a story from the television show ET on whether or not Dannielynn, daughter of Larry Birkhead and the late Anna Nicole Smith, was possibly going blind, well turns out she's not.

Little Dannielynn has strabismus (a commenter on my previous post said this was most likely the cause) - it's a vision condition in which a person cannot align both eyes simunltaneously under normal conditions. One or both of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down. An eye patch is often used to cover the "good" eye to help strenghten the weaker eye.

Larry told Mark Steines from ET, "She has strabismus, which is a turning in of one of her eyes, and it's something that we've been looknig out for a while. I've been taking her to the doctors and ... Anna had taken Dannielynn to the doctor [in the Bahamas] to see about it when she was just a few months old."

He continues, "I got her a little pirate doll to show her that people wear patches, and it's okay, and daddy wears a patch if he has to, to show her it's okay. I've been really aggressive with the patch as much as I can be. At first she was really open to it and it didn't really bother her. Now, she's gotten a little smart, because she can pull it off, so it's a little bit harder for me to patch her."

If the eyepatch doesn't work, or if using medicated drops in her eyes (to dilate the pupil) fails, then Dannielynn may require surgery.

Birkhead says, "I'm going to do everything to make sure that it's corrected, but having lost Anna and [her son] Daniel and my dad - my dad just came out of a simple surgery and he died - it's just tough for me to think about sugeries with [Dannielynn]."

There were rumors that Dannielynn's eye condition was caused by methadone usage by Anna Nicole and Larry is adamant that that is not the case.

"All of the opinions that I had [from doctors], every one of them said that it's very, very unlikely, because no one knows one-hundred percent what causes [strabismus], but I point-blank ask every single doctor, 'Could any medications that Anna was on have caused this?' and they said that it's more likely that a genetic reason could have caused it."

I think Larry is definately someone who wants media attention at times BUT I also think he's taking care of Dannielynn and her eye condition.

Which means, I suppose, that there's now less evidence for that pregnancy rumor. Oh well. I'll have to pin my pregnancy hopes on someone else. Jessica Simpson won't do; she can't hang on to a guy for longer than five minutes. How 'bout Ashlee? That'd be cool.
