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.

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.

Larry Birkhead - Still Exploiting Dannielynn

Is Larry Birkhead, Like, Totally Gay?

HerBadMother — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:53:00 GMT

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's Love Note To Anna Nicole

HerBadMother — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:54:00 GMT

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.

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.

Slutty Cat Fight! Britney And Paris Battle It Out Over Strippers

HerBadMother — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:01:00 GMT

There's just nothing classier than a down-on-her-luck single-mom-slash-former-pop-star and an ex-con heiress battling it out for control of the strip poles in Vegas, is there? Rumor has it that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are getting set to compete for the title of Top Nudie Show Proprietor (which would make them what? Skankpreneurs?) in Las Vegas, as both prepare to launch their own chains of strip clubs in the town.

According to ANI: Britney, who is annoyed with the hotel heiress for flirting with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, has been in secret talks about a 40million pounds project to open her chain of strip clubs across Sin City.

However, after learning about the pop star's plans, Paris has decided to beat Spears to the punch by opening her chain of strip clubs in Las Vegas.

"Britney was excited about this project for months and is really pissed with Paris that things have come to this. And that's even before she heard Paris has been partying with Kevin," the Daily Star quoted a source, as saying.

"Britney has always thought of stripping as a bit like art - as a skill. So when some Vegas-based developers approached her about investing money into three exclusive strip joints, which she wants to call Toxic Heaven, she jumped at the chance.

"But then Paris heard about the plans through her younger sister Nicky, who is a hotelier, and jumped on the bandwagon.

"She wanting to open her own strip joints, calling them Shagadillic. Paris is now in talks with business developers about the idea and wants to involve Nicky to keep it within the family. She thinks they can trounce Britney," the source added.

What I love best about this story: discovering that Britney regards stripping as "a bit like art - as a skill." Like it's just a misunderstood form of ballet, or woodworking. I so want to see this story pan out, if only to see which of these two skankerrific young women gets most passionate about defending stripping as an art form. Because then I want to hear about how nudity is really the height of fashion and how slutting it up is a kind of energetic chastity. I could learn so much from these girls, I really could.
