Liar Liar Pants On Fire

Howard K. Stern testified today at the inquest into the death of Anna Nicole's son, Daniel.

Stern said he had no idea Daniel was taking any kind of prescription medication, including Methadone. Stern said from September 2005 until June 2006, he wasn't even around as much because he was working full time on Anna's fight with Pierce Marshall.

Stern said there was no duffel bag full of medication at the hospital where Daniel died. He said neither he nor Anna brought any medication into the hospital. As for Stern giving Daniel Methadone, he said absolutely not.

Stern said when he first learned that the toxicology report said that Methadone or any other medication was in Daniel's system, he didn't believe it.

Stern also talked about the photo he took in the hospital room of Anna with Daniel after he died. He said Anna would not believe Daniel had died and she wanted to bring Daniel home with her. Stern testified Anna wanted him to take a photo because she couldn't accept Daniel was dead and needed the photo for proof. Stern said he took the photo, never made money off it and would do it again.

Stern testified he was asleep when an agitated Anna said, "Howard, Howard, Daniel's not breathing." Stern said he went over and touched Daniel's neck but found no pulse. They pushed the emergency button, workers came in the room to resuscitate him, to no avail. They tried to physically remove Anna but she would not break away. After the doctors stopped, both Stern and Anna continued resuscitation efforts.

Stern said he never gave Daniel drugs nor did he ever see Anna give him drugs.

Stern said Anna had been prescribed Methadone and when she realized she was pregnant -- on doctor's advice -- she reduced the dosage, but was told if she stopped cold turkey she'd lose the baby. By the time she gave birth, Stern says, she was off Methadone entirely.

Dannielynn Hope Could Be Very Rich

A petition to have Anna Nicole Smith's 18-month-old daughter declared the sole heir to her estate was approved today by a Los Angeles judge.

In court papers filed last Oct. 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Howard K. Stern, the executor of Smith's estate, sought to clarify Smith's intentions in her July 2001 will, drafted five years before Dannielynn Hope's September 2006 birth.

"We and Mr. Stern always believed that Anna Nicole never intended to disinherit her daughter," Stern's lawyer, Bruce S. Ross, said after the hearing. "I'm pleased to say this chapter in the saga is closed."

Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff's ruling not only confirms Dannielynn Hope as her mother's sole heir, but also establishes a trust on her behalf with Stern and the toddler's father, photographer Larry Birkhead, as co-trustees, Ross said.

Dannielynn, who is being raised by Birkhead, could inherit millions of dollars from the estate of Smith's second husband. Billionaire J. Howard Marshall left much of his fortune to Smith in his will, although his family has contested it.

Ross said today's action will have no bearing on Dannielynn's possible inheritance of the Marshall fortune, which is tied up in litigation in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Shame Shame Shame Howard K Stern

Late star ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s longtime companion/lawyer HOWARD K. STERN took photographs of her dead son’s body for profit, it has been claimed.

Daniel Smith died from a drug overdose three days after his mother gave birth to baby daughter Dannielynn in September 2006. He was 20.
G. Ben Thompson, former companion of Anna Nicole told the inquest into Daniel’s death in Bahamian capital of Nassau that Stern said the photographs "might be worth some money one day." Thompson told the inquest, "I was totally shocked he was taking pictures of a dead child laying in that bed.

Stern’s attorney Shaka Serville hit back at the claims - insisting he took the photographs of Daniel’s body to prove to Anna Nicole that her son was dead.

Witnesses have already testified that the late glamour model was highly distraught after his collapse.

Meanwhile, Thompson’s son Gayther, alleges Stern appeared to dispose of two white pills he had found in Daniel’s clothes after his collapse in the hospital room.

Testimony in the inquest was adjourned on Wednesday (30Jan08) until 17 March while court officials seek testimony from witnesses including Anna Nicole’s ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead. Police investigating Daniel’s death have said there is no evidence of homicide, and an autopsy found the likely cause was a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants.

Rita Cosby Is Fishy

A judge has ruled that there's a lot of evidence that former MSNBC anchor turned author Rita Cosby crossed the line in writing her tell-all book about Anna Nicole Smith.

Howard K. Stern is suing Cosby, claiming she defamed him in the book by saying there are witnesses -- two nannies -- who say Anna Nicole had a video of Stern and Larry Birkhead having sex.

A federal judge in the Southern District of New York issued an order today in the wake of Stern's allegation that Cosby "sought to tamper with two witnesses by offering to pay them thousands of dollars for their testimony." The judge allowed Stern to probe the allegation, concluding he has "presented substantial -- indeed troubling -- evidence that Cosby has sought to improperly influence witnesses..."

In a statement to TMZ, Rita Cosby said "I am pleased that the Court will get to the bottom of these unfounded allegations. I trust that when all the facts come out that a very different picture will be shown."

Anna Nicole Smith Saga Continues - beyond The Grave

The attorney who represented Anna Nicole Smith's infant daughter in the rancorous dispute over the starlet's body is seeking nearly $200,000 for his work.

Richard Milstein served as the court-appointed guardian ad litem for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead. He has filed paperwork in state court in Broward County seeking $198,493.98 from a trust set up in Dannielynn's name.

Attorneys for the girl's father, Larry Birkhead, and Smith's longtime companion, Howard K. Stern, say Milstein's bill would exhaust nearly the entirety of an estimated $200,000 remaining in the trust, though the girl could eventually inherit millions more.

Besides acting as Dannielynn's representative in a Fort Lauderdale court, Milstein also helped coordinate funeral arrangements for Smith.

"This representation required the guardian ad litem to devote significantly all of his professional and personal time and attention to the interests of Dannielynn for a period in excess of two weeks," Milstein argued in his petition.

He did not return a phone call Monday seeking additional comment.

The matter is scheduled for a hearing Nov. 8, but attorneys for Birkhead, Stern and Smith's mother have already opposed.

"It is unconscionable for a trust established for a baby to be billed at a large firm hourly rate," wrote attorneys for Birkhead and Stern. They also said the Playboy model's mother, Virgie Arthur, should pay at least part of the bill, which the mother's attorney called ridiculous.

Lawyer Stephen Tunstall did find common ground with Birkhead and Stern in his objection to Milstein's accounting. He said the guardian ad litem "went wild" in generating a bill.

Smith, who died Feb. 8 in a Hollywood hotel, was the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. She had been fighting Marshall's family for years over his estimated $500 million fortune, which could eventually go to Dannielynn.

Making Money Out Of Anna Nicole Smith's Death

"The Insider" breaks news that author Rita Cosby has been served with a complaint for libel by Howard K. Stern, for alleging an affair between Stern and Larry Birkhead -- the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Dannielynn -- in her book Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death.

Cosby was served with the papers at her book party, and Anna's mom, Virgie Arthur was present at the time.

The Anna Nicole Smith Leftovers......

Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and companion, Howard K. Stern, filed a $60 million libel lawsuit Tuesday against Rita Cosby and her publisher over a book she wrote that claims Stern and Smith’s ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, had a sexual encounter.
The suit, filed in federal court in New York, seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages from Cosby — who wrote “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death“-- and Hachette Book Group USA Inc.

The book, which hit stores in September, claims that besides the alleged sexual encounter, Birkhead and Stern both worked together after Smith’s death to manipulate the media and maximize profits.

The suit says that the book falsely accuses Stern of, among other things, criminal lewd acts, homosexual acts, illegal possession and use of cocaine, conspiring to commit murder and kidnapping for ransom.

“Defendants have exploited Ms. Smith’s life and death by publishing false and defamatory factual accusations against” Stern, according to the 65-page lawsuit filed by Atlanta lawyer Lin Wood.

A spokesman for Cosby declined to comment and referred calls to a spokesman for the book’s publisher. That spokesman, Evan Boorstyn, did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking comment.

Both Birkhead, the father of Smith’s infant daughter, and Stern, Smith’s longtime attorney and companion, had threatened to sue soon after the book was published. Tuesday’s lawsuit only lists Stern as a plaintiff.

An attorney for Birkhead, M.L. Trope, did not immediately return a call to his Los Angeles office Tuesday seeking comment.

Birkhead acknowledged meeting with Cosby several times after Smith’s death in February. But he flatly denied that he and Stern ever shared a sexual tryst.

Cosby, a former MSNBC correspondent, claimed there is a videotape of the alleged encounter and that one of Smith’s former employees had seen the former Playboy Playmate watching it. But Birkhead has said no tape could exist because the encounter did not occur.

Birkhead also has denied the book’s claim that he and Stern made a “secret deal” about finances and the custody of Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn.

Cosby has said she expected backlash from Birkhead and Stern when she started writing the book in April.

The Mess Ana Nicole Smith Left

Larry Birkhead Drama:

Debra Opri is pissed that Larry B appeared on Larry King's show and claimed that he witnessed Opri give Rita Cosby confidential documents in his custody battle not to long ago but Opri's lawyer say that this is false and defamatory and is giving Larry B an opportunity to retract.

Now, Michael Trope, Larry B's lawyer says that this will not happen>

"Mr Birhead declines your invitation to issue any type of retraction".

I guess Trope is a funny guy considering he ended the letter with this:

"Larry would like her to avoid the expense of hiring a process server to deliver the complaint. I have Mr. Birkhead's authority to accept service."

Funny really funny....

Now for Howard K. Stern's Drama:

Anna Nicole Smith's ex boyfriend and jailbird, Mark Hatten is claiming that Howard K. Stern tried to kill him back in 2000, in a failed "attempt to remove" him from Anna's life.

In the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Hatten claims that Howard tried his very best to try and murder plaintiff Hatten and make it look like an accident death/overdose."

Hatten wants $100,000,000 in damages.....

I guess Ana Nicole Smith is glad that she's dead now.

Gay Lovers? Larry Birkhead And Howard K. Stern?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new tell-all about Anna Nicole Smith from former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby about alleges that Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead were secret gay lovers.

The book, "Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death" describes an alleged brief tryst between Stern and Birkhead, reports the Daily News. Jackie Hatten, described as a friend of Anna Nicole's, claims she found Stern and Birkhead witht heir shirts off and pants around their ankles, engaged in oral sex.

The book also accuses the feuding baby daddies of cutting a secret deal between them in which Birkhead would get custody of Dannielynn in return for Stern being named executor of Anna Nicoles estate.

Both Birkhead and Stern deny all of Cosby's accusations. Birkhead said that he was disgusted by Cosby's claims that he and Stern were gay lovers. "If she printed that then she is really getting sued," he said.

Stern's lawyer Lin Wood called the book "false and defamatory."

And You Thought It Was Over

Larry Birkhead, 34, filed a petition in probate court on Monday to be appointed as the sole guardian of the Estate of 8 month-old Dannielynn Marshall Birkhead. In papers obtained by Us, Birkhead asks the court to name him as guardian "in order to represent his daughter's interest in the probate proceedings for the Estate of Vickie Lynn Marshall, aka Anna Nicole Smith." Birkhead's hearing is set for June 19.

Meanwhile, according to Smith's will, Howard Stern has been named special administrator as well as executor of her estate. Smith's personal attorney Ron Rale was named second executor.

The will, which Smith signed and dated on July 30th, 2001, before Dannielynn's birth and son Daniel's death, lists her sole child as Daniel Wayne Smith. The will directs that all of Smith's property, after the payment of taxes, be distributed to Howard Stern, who will hold it in a trust for her child, Daniel. Once the child reaches 25, the will provides they will be given one third all the income and one half the principal of the trust. At age 35, her child will be given all the remaining principal of the trust. It states that Smith's spouse is deceased and has no registered domestic partner. Smith's estate's current estimated value is listed as $710,000.

Birkhead, who arrived in the states with Dannielynn on May 1st, should prepare for a challenge to his request for guardianship: Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, has promised she will continue to fight for custody of her granddaughter.

After Smith’s death on February 8, Birkhead, Howard K. Stern and Prince Frederick Von Anhalt all came forward with claims that they were Dannielynn’s real father. Birkhead was awarded custody of the baby when the Bahamas Supreme Court resolved the matter with a DNA test.

Grandmother From Hell

TMZ reports that Virgie Arthur wants custody of Danielynn in the event of Larry Birkhead's death..... does she know something we don't? Did she put out a contract for Larry????

I swear this Virgie should just go back to her trailer and STFU!!! I mean seriously, as a mother, do you guys think Virgie did a good job with her kids? I personally don't think so.

Bottomline is she wants Dannielynn for the possible money she might get..... I guess Virgie needs the money to pay her lawyers.... hmmm.... I bet she's now digging through her attic for anything Anna Nicole Smith..... Oh, I forgot, trailers don't have attics.

Again, just my opinion....

Anyways, because of this bitch's demand, it's now delaying Larry Birkhead from gaining custody of his daughter.... sad sad sad

And You Thought We're Done With Anna Nicole Smith

An inquest into the death of ANNA NICOLE SMITH's son DANIEL will reconvene next month (22May07) in the Bahamas after officials agreed to allow the tragic model's companion, HOWARD K. STERN, to appeal the jury selection in the case.

During a brief hearing yesterday (12APR07), Stern asked that his attorneys be allowed to submit a questionnaire for the jury screening process.

His legal team has argued that it is no longer possible to secure an impartial jury, due to the publicity surrounding the deaths of Anna Nicole and her son.

Meanwhile, witnesses for the inquest have been announced and they will include the late Anna Nicole, who will be represented posthumously, and a nurse who claims she noticed a methadone pill on the bed where Daniel died.

Stern has also been summoned, as has photographer Larry Birkhead, who was named the biological father of Anna Nicole's baby girl Dannielynn on Tuesday (10Apr07).

Daniel Smith was 20 when he died from a lethal combination of Lexapro, Zoloft and methadone while visiting his mother and newborn sister in the Bahamas last September (07).

Birkhead To Be The Sole Owner Of Dannielynn

TMZ reports:

A relieved and happy Larry Birkhead called yesterday's revelation that he was the daddy of Anna Nicole Smith's baby a "magical moment" and likened it to winning an Oscar, while politely but firmly telling Anna's mom Virgie Arthur that she can forget about getting shared custody of the child.

On this morning's "Today" show, Birkhead told Meredith Vieira that he had seen Dannielynn, as TMZ reported, and that the baby girl has "lots of toys and a nursery ready for her" back in California. Meanwhile, though he welcomed Virgie Arthur as Dannielynn's grandmother, Birkhead insisted, "I do not want to share custody with anyone else ... There's only one dad." Arthur has suggested that she'll seek some form of custody of the baby.

As for his surprising hug-it-out moment with Howard K. Stern after yesterday's court hearing, Birkhead said that it came about because "Howard decided to do what's best ... [and] stop the fighting."

I personally glad that Dannielynn has finally found her biological father and that he actually wants her..... If I were Larry, I would definitely keep Dannielynn away from the evil grandmother... unless he want Dannielynn to grow up like Anna Nicole.

Larry Birkhead Is The Daddy !!!!!

Yep people.... as we suspected all along, Larry Birkhead is the father of Dannielynn, as reported by TMZ.

The probability of paternity is 99.9999%. Dr Michael Baid said, "essentially he is the biological father."

But..... it looks like Virgie Arthur would not want to give up. It is reported that the parties will be back in court on Friday but lawyers are keeping it mum as to why.

Howard K. Stern just said "I am obviously very disappointed....I am not going to fight Larry Birkhead for custody." Stern added "I will do evereything I can to make sure he gets sole custody."

Stern said he'd like the transition to be "gradual" so the baby can adjust.

Much as they hated each other in the past, Howard K Stern and Larry Birkhead hugged each other outside the courtroom with Stern welcoming Larry to the house and spend as much time with baby Dannielynn as he wanted.

In the meantime, Virgie Arthur just said "All I care about and all I every cared about was the safety of Dannielynn."

She also looks forward to working with Larry and she was acting in the best interest of Dannielynn and her attorney suggested that Arthur would seek dual guardianship with Birkhead.

TMZ

Howard K Stern Does Something Decent

Since we're all waiting for the DNA result which is due out tomorrow, Howard K Stern has this to say:

“If Larry Birkhead is confirmed to be Dannielynn’s biological father, Howard will not challenge custody. His love for her will not change, irrespective of the results. Howard will act in Dannielynn’s best interest, because he loves her and would want a smooth transition to protect her, as she is deeply bonded to those who have been with her since birth."
