Anna Nicole Smith's Father Blames Howard Stern

Whit Honea — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:57:00 GMT

Donald Hogan has been fairly quiet since losing the very public custody battle for his granddaughter Dannielynn, but now Anna Nicole Smith's father is speaking to E! News and he is blaming Howard K. Stern for his daughter's death.

Hogan says, "I blame him totally for her death... Nobody put a gun to her head, but somebody sure brought a lot of drugs home and, instead of bringing drugs to someone, even if she had a fit about it, I'd tell her to tell someone else to get it for you."

Hogan, who separated from Virgie Arthur, Smith's mother, when Anna was 9-months-old, has suggested that he may team with Arthur in a wrongful death suit against Stern.

Said Hogan, "I would urge Virgie also to think about this—this wrongful death. And personally, I don't care if we get a dime out of it. Not one dime."

Liam Neeson's Film "Chloe" Won't Stop Production

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:05:00 GMT

Liam Neeson was in Canada filming his latest movie, "Chloe" when he left the set to be at wife Natasha Richardson's side after her tragic skiing accident. That crew of that film, Atom Egoyan's Chloe, is devastated over the death of Richardson but says they will continue with production. The filming will focus on scenes that don’t need Neeson, who is understandably still in mourning.

“There are some scenes with Liam Neeson which have not been completed, (but) we do not feel this is the time to address that matter,” says a statement. "The entire cast and crew of Chloe are bereft. Our hearts go out to Liam and his family at this difficult time."

“I had the opportunity to meet Natasha at the opening of the play I did with Liam in New York last year,” said director Egoyan. “Her intense pride and affection for her husband was so clear, as was his passion and love for her. I’m so devastated for Liam’s loss.”

I'm sure the film will only bring up sad memories for Neeson and sons Michael and Daniel after all that has happened. If Neeson does return to the set, no doubt his sons will be with him. Richardson once said in an interview that her and Neeson carefully plan their work schedules around their sons. "We try and take time so that we don't leave our children without one parent being there for them.”

Anna Nicole Smith Death Case to be Reopened?

Karl Erikson — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:37:00 GMT

What on Earth? Looks like some officials in Florida are about to reopen the case on Anna Nicole Smith's death in 2007. Anna Nicole died in a Florida hotel room of a drug overdose. Some people have already been charged with conspiracy, including Anna Nicole's boyfriend and lawyer, Howard K. Stern.

Ron Ishoy, spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale State Attorney, said, "Our prosecutors have met with representatives of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the California Department of Justice and discussed the evidence they have turned up in their investigation. We are now investigating that evidence to see where it might lead in relation to Ms. Smith's death here in Broward County in 2007."

Naturally, all of the people charged with conspiracy to keep Anna Nicole buried in illegal substances deny their guilt. Surprise. They are, however, all free on bail.

Anna Nicole is, of course, the late mother of little 2-1/2-year-old Dannielynn Hope, whose father is Larry Birkhead.

Family and Friends Attend Natasha Richardson's Wake (PHOTOS)

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:05:00 GMT

A grieving Liam Neeson gathered with family, friends and loved ones on Friday afternoon for a wake for his wife Natasha Richardson. The private viewing took place at the American Irish Historical Society on Manhattan's Upper Side two days after Richardson's tragic death following a ski accident in Canada.

The service was presumed to be the "traditional Irish wake" that Neeson had spoken of the night before, when he had attended the Broadway tribute to his late wife.

Besides Neeson and his two sons Michael and Daniel, Richardson's mother Vanessa Redgrave and sister, Joely Richardson also attended.

Other mourners included Diane Sawyer, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Lauren Bacall, Howard Stern, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Matthew Modine and Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Mathilde Krim, a longtime Richardson friend and founding chairman of the AIDS research organization amfAR, described the wake as "very respectful." Krim tearfully told People magazine that Richardson, looked "beautiful, incredibly beautiful" in her casket.

According to reports, the family was planning to bury Richardson during a private funeral service in Millbrook, NY, where she belonged to St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.

Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky Got Hitched Last Night (Video)

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:05:00 GMT

It's official: Howard Stern got married to longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky last night. The A-list private event took place at New York's famed Le Cirque restaurant. Either my invitation got lost in the mail or Le Cirque never forgave me for the whole silverware-stealing misunderstanding.

Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos were among the guests and Consuelos, who became an ordained minister over the summer, performed the ceremony.

Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Adam Carolla, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Joan Rivers, Stern's radio cohosts Robin Quivers and Artie Lang, Chevy Chase, Donald and Melania Trump and John Stamos were among the 180 guests that attended.

No word on whether any of Stern's children attended; he has three daughters with ex-wife Allison, whom he was married to for 20 years.

This doesn't appear to be a prank like the one he pulled in 2006, when he announced that he and Ostrosky had gotten married only to admit later that it wasn't true. If it is a prank, I totally want my toaster back that I sent them as a gift.

Here's a video of Stern and Ostrosky's celeb friends arriving for the wedding:

Update On Virgin Auction-Howard Stern Is Pissed Off

trix — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:53:00 GMT

Howard Stern is pissed. It seems that the media has latched his name to the young woman who is auctioning off her virginity. He says he just interviewed her, but doesn't condone what she's doing.

He said, "I'm really aggravated by this. I don't feel like defending myself to my kids about something that's in the paper that isn't true."

So he's okay with defending all the other crap he does. At least he has standards!!

Howard Stern To Help Auction Off Virginity?

trix — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:32:00 GMT

Howard Stern is helping virgin Natalie Dylan*, and the Bunny Ranch in Nevada, auction off her virginity to help pay for her college tuition.

What is wrong with the world we are living in?

Howard Stern interviewed the young lady in question, and she said that she doesn't, " have a moral dilemma with it." She also told the NY Daily News that, “we live in a capitalist society: why shouldn’t I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?”

“I understand some people may condemn me, but I think this is empowering. I'm using what I have to better myself.” There are so many things wrong with this statement.

Howard Stern has three daughters, and though he is a "shock" jock, I can't imagine him condoning his daughters wanting to do this. Apparantly, he told Natalie that he didn't think it was a good idea.

I've listened to Howard Stern in the past and I, understand his shock value mentality but, can't imagine why he would let his name be linked to something like this.

The auction is to be held online at bunnyranch.com, and the winning bidder will take possession of his spoils at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

*not her real name. Hopefully she is using a pseudonym to protect her mom, who teaches 4th grade.

Whit Honea — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:34:00 GMT

GQ has compiled a list of men that have been subjected to the proverbial "p" whipping by their bossy and/or powerful women. Many of them are fathers as well. I think there is a big difference between being a dotting dad and wuss, I hope GQ took that into consideration.

That said, here's the list:

25. Mark Consuelos, wife Kelly Ripa
24. Rudolph Giuliani, wife Judy
23. Larry King, wife Shawn Southwick
22. Michael Douglas, wife Catherine Zeta-Jones
21. Seal, wife Heidi Klum
20. Kevin Smith (the Clerks director), wife Jennifer Schwalbach
19. Sergay Brin (34-year-old Google wunderkind), wife Anne Wojcicki

15. Tim Burton, wife Helena Bonham Carter
14. Keith Urban, wife Nicole Kidman
13. Elton John, husband David Furnish
12. John Edwards, former presidential candidate, wife Elizabeth
11. Woody Allen, wife Soon-Yi Previn

9. Howard Stern, wife Beth Ostrosky
8. Rupert Murdoch (Aussie billionaire), wife Wendi Deng
7. Kurt Warner (quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals), wife Brenda

4. Bill Gates, wife Melinda
3. Eminem, wife Kimberly
2. Doug Christie, wife Jackie
1. Guy Ritchie, wife Madonna

There is a slideshow at GQ that explains why each man made the list. It's pretty funny, at least it seems like it is, my wife wouldn't let me read it.

Larry Birkhead and Britney Spears Dating?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:01:00 GMT

Is Dannielynn's baby daddy and the trainwreck that is Britney, a couple?

They're not yet but, it seems that Larry Birkhead thinks "Britney is sexy." Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor. Britney and sexy just don't belong in the same sentence anymore, well that is, unless she's been digitally enhanced y'all.

~~Larry himself~~ a source close to Larry told In Touch: "He's trying hard to get fixed up with Britney. Larry has a thing for ~~rich ditzy~~ vunerable blondes — and no one seems more vulnerable than Britney these days. Larry wants to find someone who already has kids so they can raise their families together." Ah, dude, she doesn't have custody of her kids right now. If you want to raise Dannielynn with someone, ~~Dickwad~~ Birkhead, you'll have to hook up with K'Fed. However, he's not blonde or rich ~~or have a vagina~~.

Larry, Britney Spears is definately someone you'd want around your baby daughter.

Howard Stern is Sick of Affleck and Garner

Whit Honea — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:29:00 GMT

Howard Stern is upset because Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are living in the same building he is and the constant flood of paparazzi has inconvenienced his tranquil life of obscurity. I think he's just jealous.

Says Stern, ""It's unbelievable. Now I know why co-ops block famous people from getting into buildings."

Howard is lucky he didn't say he's upset with Violet or I'd have to put my foot down.

Madonna Thinks We Are a Bunch of Idiots, Compares "Snatch" to "Revolver"

Karen — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:04:00 GMT

Madonna must think we are a bunch of idiots. She's aiming to boost hubby Guy Ritchie's movie, "Revolver."

The pop washup has decided to kick things off with a party, and she's invited Howard Stern, Lauren Bacall, Helena Christensen, Patricia Clarkson and Ivanka Trump. If she invited anyone less interesting, they would be dead people.

A pal says the flick was marketed to British audiences as a comedic romp similar to Ritchie’s “Snatch” - but it left them confused by its more “cerebral” theme. (Or “pretentious style and fractured storytelling,” as The Hollywood Reporter sniffed.) The movie was also slammed by critics in the UK.

“You have to pay attention — you may have to sit through it twice to figure it out,” co-star Vincent Pastore (who plays opposite Ray Liotta, Jason Statham and Andre Benjamin) told me yesterday. “Which I just did with ‘No Country for Old Men,’ so it doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie.”

I'm sorry, WHAT? You have to sit through a crapass movie TWICE to "get it?" Yeah okay Madonna, and I'll rush right out and buy two copies of that Britney Spears album and stab myself in not one, but both ears. You can promote a bag of flaming poop all you want sweetheart, but at the end of the day, it's still a bag of flaming poop. Just look at Britney.

Daddyhood Makes Even Screechy Gilbert Gottfried A Smileypuss

BadKitty — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:13:00 GMT

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried and wife Dara Kravitz are clearly delighted with their 4 month old daughter, Lily.

Gilbert is probably best known for berating people, in the funniest possible way, at celebrity roasts. His schtick is his "loud and obnoxious" voice. He's a frequent Howard Stern guest, is famous for telling the Aristocrats joke three weeks after 9/11...

So much edginess, but he's still brought to his knees by a baby girl. Daddyhood, the great leveler

Larry Birkhead Is Not Doing Himself Any Favors

BadKitty — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:03:00 GMT

Do lawyers have an equivalent of Don't Date Him, Girl? A place where you can post all the ugly truths about clients who make it impossible to do your job? If so, Larry Birkhead better watch out. Debra Opri is mad as a wet hen and she's telling everyone.

Actually, Debra doesn't need a special site, she has the rabid mob of paparazzi and bloggers (guilty as charged) reporting and repeating every syllable about Larry, Dannielynn, Anna Nicole and everyone's favorite creepy uncle Howard K. Stern.

Side note: how creepy do you have to be that Radio Howard Stern wouldn't want to be confused with you?

Back to Larry. While no one is going to mistake him for a rocket scientist, or you know, the night manager at Applebee's, is he really stupid enough to double cross his lawyer? The person who knows where the bodies are buried, perhaps literally? I guess we all know the answer to that question. Sigh.

Okay, pull up your front row seats for the ensuing bloodbath.
