182. I don't recall if it was Patty (apol. accepted, btw) or Inquiring Mind who asked me to supply a link to the article that I referred to re: HSK's sister where she says that her brother and ANS have been living together for three years.

I have searched for the magazine but think I either gave it away
or lent it out. I am thinking now that it was from "In Touch" but I
am not sure. I am one hundred percent sure I read it, however,
but of course that doesn't make it true, we all know that.

Here is another one that I saved - this one from "People Mag.
issue Oct. 2, 2006) Page 73 in box under caption, "Who is Baby's Father?"; subtitle: "An ex-boyfriend says the baby is his. But some wonder about her constant counselor."

I will not quote the contents of the short article here; but, in summary, it says that Smith has never named baby's father and some in her circle believe that constant companion HKS, a civil
attorney, has been more than just a legal representative.
"She relies on his opinion for everything," says Deenie Leon, Smith's former nutritional consultant. Adds a friend:
"Stern 'has always been in love with Anna." Bonnie Stern, Stern's sister, says, "He's dealing with attorneys, the coroner, transferring the body. He's put his feelings on the back
burner to make sure everybody is okay."

I have enclosed the above quoted material from the article
in response to another post either in this forum or another
similar one here on TMZ where someone remarks as to
why HKS hasn't done more for ANS in the aftermath of
her son's death, including making funeral arrangements.

183. It is rare to see any mention of HKS's sister ... and even rarer of his parents.
WHERE are his family? Why aren't they rejoicing with Howard over the birth of their granddaughter and niece?? Why aren't they publicly speaking out to defend Howard in a big way? Why are they visiting and taking family photos with the baby?

The living together for 3 years doesn't even need a response .... because it is well publicized by photos and friends and articles that Anna has been with several men in the past 3 years, and could not possibly have had an exclusive relationship with Howard. whatever ......

The People Magazine article dated Oct. 2, 2006 was before Daniel was buried.
Smith HAD named the birthfather to Ben Thompson and to Laurie Payne and to Larry Birkhead himself (and more people in her circle), just not publicly named/admitted the truth. It made for better teasing of the public to sell photos, articles ..... to drag out a public announcement.

Why wasn't Howard dealing with the coroner and transferring, and BURYING the body/DANIEL, BEFORE the stupid disrespectful commitment ceremony? Where were Howard's priorities?

Howard was "dealing with attorneys" because he refused to take a DNA test himself, or advise Anna to submit the baby for one without attorneys. They had to deal with attorneys to sue Ben Thompson instead of paying him for the mansion. They hired attorneys to file a lawsuit in the Bahamian courts to try to claim the mansion they never paid for. They have probably hired criminal attorneys to handle the investigation into Daniel's death. If they weren't starting so much trouble, they wouldn't have to deal with so many attorneys.

How is going on Larry King Live and telling the public exactly how he feels, "putting his feelings on the back burner"?

If anyone wants to conclude from those magazine articles that Howard is a swell guy .... go for it. I do NOT!

184. POOR HOWARD MY FOOT!!
He would not have all these problems if it were not for the fact that he has had his eyes on the illusion of a BIG payday from the Marshal estate. He lost sight of what really makes up a MAN!!! He is so deep in this that if by some slim slim chance Anna gets a dime he will probably be sitting in a Nassau Jail with no lawyer and not a dime to his name. He has barrowed so much from his parents, as per the Anna show, that who even knows if they can or will bail him out. I can see the headlines now.......HOWARD IN JAIL!! ANNA PARTIES ON!!!! IS THAT LOVE!! THE TEST OF TIME...........OH yes until one of them goes to jail..........

If she got pregnant in DEC by HOWARD.............why in the world was Anna not just screwing Ben and Larry......and perhaps others..........SHE WAS TRYING TO GET THEM TO BE THE DADDY OF WHAT HOWARD HAS SAID IS HIS OWN CHILD!! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!! Why was Howard her LAST choice for signiture on the birth certificate. AND WHY DID HOWARD WAIT SO LONG TO SIGN IT? PROUD FATHER......or LAST RESORT FAKE DADDY DUMBEST?

SO NOW HE`S WORKING 20 HRS A DAY.........to do what.........TAKE OVER ANOTHER MANS HOUSE.......DRAGGGGGG OUT THE DNA........COVER-UP FOR ANNA`S DRUG USE.......TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW tHE THE HELL HE IS GOING TO GET OUT OF THE FRAUD CHARGES WITHOUT TAKING THE DNA TEST..........FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT EVIDENSE THE AUTHORITIES IN THE BAHAMAS HAVE .........WHERE WILL THE NEXT BUCK IS COMING FROM...........HOW CAN ANNA PASS A DRUG TEST..............????

Yeahhhhhhh he is working so many hours on all these issues he is trying to dodge to save HIS OWN HIDE that he FORGOT ABOUT THE ELECTRIC BILL?? REAL SMART HOWIIE,,,,,,,,,REAL SMART!!! YOUR PARENTS MUST BE PROUD!!!

He is probably digging around articles and photos and searching high and low trying to put together SOME kind of FLIMSY EXCUSE OF A DEFENSE as to why he ever thought 100% that he was Daniellynn`s father to the exclusion of any other possible fathers. In between all this he HAS TO WONDER........ WHY WOULD OPRI TAKE LARRY`S CASE BEFORE THE WORLD UNLESS SHE HAD SOME PRETTY DAMN GOOD EVIDENSE!! OH YEAHHHHHHH POOR HOWARD!!!!

Certainly I don't know the answers to the questions you pose any more than you or anyone else does. Anything that is presented
here, at least by me, is based on sheer speculation and conjecture based on what I have read or heard relating to the subject.

BUT - in answer to your question as to why HKS would be Anna's last choice for a man to put on the certificate for paternity, could it have been for the precise reason you mention later in your post? Maybe Anna herself did not want him listed as the father because of the repercussions such admission would have in both her Howard Marshall inheritance (if any) and in the possible suspension or expulsion of Howard from the California Bar.

If this scenario proves to be the case, then it still doesn't paint either ANS or HKS in a favorable light, it just presents them with a possible explanation for waiting to name him as the father.

186. And in answer to your other queries as to why Howard wasn't dealing with the burial of Daniel before the commitment ceremony, I think that question was answered in this way by people who know Anna and were with her in the aftermath of Daniel's death:

That Anna needed something NOW to help her get through this (this, meaning the death of her son). It was meant to serve as a
reassurance to both Anna and Howard that they could lean on each other during the inevitably trying days ahead. Also, I saw
her friend interviewed on ET - the two guys who live in the house iwith her, one of them has the last name, "James") and he added to that by saying that ANS simply wasn't ready to say goodbye to Daniel - that emotionally she just wouldn't have been able to handle it.

I think most people agree that she wasn't dealing with the REALITY of his death and the commitment ceremony seems to confirm that.

187. I have never seen Howard "put his feelings on the back burner". If he were truly a man in love (and please all the men who are really in love, jump in on this), he would be doing what he could do to help the woman he loves.

He frauduently (possibly) signed a legal document naming him as the father, knowing there are DNA tests that are going to be subpeoned.

He is living in a manion that ANS does not own, has never owned, and fraudently filled out paperwork for residency so that LB or his attorney couldn't get near the baby. Oh yeah, the baby's grandparent's (maternal) are not allowed to see her (and he supports that) and his family has never mentioned how thrilled they are at a grandbaby or when they might see her. Very odd. A grandchild in my family is a HUGE celebration.

He lived with her for years, was "in love" for years, yet apparently his relationship with ANS was exclusive, but her relationship with him was not. Weirdly, at times she would go on dates, and he would follow along, like a chaperone. Did he go along while ANS had sex with G.Thompson, or with her on/off relationship with LB? Did he watch? Listen? My goodness, how could she be out of his sight long enough for that?

He teased Anna's beloved son about his virginity and his sexuality. What a nice thing for a man who loves this boys mother to do (sarcasm there). Hit the boy where it counts. Apparently Daniel knew something no one else knew because his comeback was "you've lived with my mother for 12 yrs. and haven't gotten any p*ssy". Good boy Daniel, you stood up for yourself, and though you aren't here anymore, there's lots of people proud of you for that.

SOMEONE brilliantly changed the locks on the home they are basically being squatter's in. What's so funny about that is they run and hide inside when the real owner shows up and just whips out the remote and opens the gate. HaHa, man I would have loved to have seen that. I bet Daniel and Marshal had themselves a laugh looking down at that.

Howard lets the love of his life and mother of his child scream off the balcony that they are never leaving the house, yada yada. Wouldn't you think with his lawyer's salary he'd at least pay for the house. Oh wait...that's right...duh...ANS is his only client.

Howard is doing NOTHING to make little Dannielynn's life more peaceful. If I were in control in the Bahamas, I'd have left that electricity off, then revoked their fraudulent status, and given them enough to take taxis to the nearest airport. He's allowing that baby to be used for financial gain for the public through ET. ANYONE who uses a child in that matter is shameful and should be locked up.

188. Eh, I meant my last post as kind of a tongue in cheek thing. I dont think HKS is "in love" with ANS, I believe he may THINK he is in love with her, but what I think he actually feels is probably more of an obsession. And face it, they HAVE been together, in some form or another, for over a decade. I am sure they are to eachother something like furniture, old, comfortable practically invisible but always there. If ANS actually has "feelings" for HKS, I am sure they are more "sibling" than "in love". Either way, whatever the relationship, YES, I believe it is unhealthy as hell, as probably all of ANS' relationships are. I think her alleged emails to Laurie P were very telling, I DO think she is an incredibly lonely person, despite being surrounded by "yes men". I don't believe she has anyone she can call a true friend, not even HKS, since Daniel died. But that would be her own doing, because of the life she has led and the people she has surrounded herself with, so I will just say that I cant feel too sorry for her.

BUT, no, that doesnt give her the right to act like a three year old, yelling "ITS MINE" whenever she wants something and cant pay for it.

Does anyone know if HKS worked for a law fim when he got ANS' case?
Why would he admit to a long time affair with ANS if he knew that that could harm the JHM money case?

Posted at 9:23PM on Nov 16th 2006 by AJ

189. AJ, I did alot of research on Howard - he has his own office, and ANS has been his only client. Ever. I liked your analogy of old furniture, and it makes sense and she is acting like a spoiled child with the "IT'S MINE' thing. What gets me, if Howard truly loved her and wanted to take care of her, wouldn't you think he'd get her out of there? Weird, weird, weird.

ps......AJ, I'm getting scared, we are starting to agree on stuff. :) j/k

190. Sorry about the double post - glitch on the computer.

Posted at 10:37PM on Nov 16th 2006 by Patty

191. Tru, This what you wrote.......
BUT - in answer to your question as to why HKS would be Anna's last choice for a man to put on the certificate for paternity, could it have been for the precise reason you mention later in your post? Maybe Anna herself did not want him listed as the father because of the repercussions such admission would have in both her Howard Marshall inheritance (if any) and in the possible suspension or expulsion of Howard from the California Bar.

Okay what Anna needs to be concerned about regarding the Marshal Estate is her character. I am sure she has heard this over and over. She did not HAVE to have any named father on that birth certificate. Women do it all the time.......this is 2006 and I believe to do so would of been much more acceptable that to tell several men (2 not counting Howard) that they were the daddy. ANNA is 38 years old!!!!! We are living in a time of AIDS, to be sextually irresponsible to the point that there COULD be more than one possible father of her baby is INSANE!!! We also have at home pregnancy test as well as sonograms that measure the size of the baby and are pretty darn accurate at determing just when she got pregnant......

Tru & EVERYONE-
HERE IS THE 1/2 A BILLION DOLLAR QUESTIONS: Why did ANNA NEED ANYONE TO SIGN THE B/C? WAS IT TO TRY TO COVER UP WHO THE REAL FATHER IS? WAS SHE TRYING TO AVOID BOTH DNA AND DRUG TESTING??

And everyone as far as OPINIONS go.......... EVERY JURY HAS ONE!!!

192. Patty, what you say it too true. IF HKS really LOVED ANS he would try to HELP her instead of letting her dig herself and HIM deeper and deeper and deeper. This is why i dont think he loves her, I think he BELIEVES he does. Given MY experiences in life and the people that I DO know, I can see how someone might confuse LOVE with something like NEED. I think HKS is an ENABLER, i think they are VERY codependent. I can see how, as an enabler, he does what she wants because he NEEDS to have her near him. Just my two cents. I think they both need professional help in the worst way but I doubt either one of them would admit it.

Tree Tree~ Truer words were never spoken. In this day and age promiscuity is just like playing russian roulette. To name HKS as the person that fathered her child DOES seem like a foolhardy thing to do, but then, think about who we are talking about and the fact that she is high all the time.

And I know this doesn't mean anything, but given the size of ANS (height and build) and the size of LB and HKS, Dannielynn was a LOT smaller than I would have thought a healthy, full term baby from ANS and either of them would be. Again, I know it doesnt mean anything, thats just my opinion.

Posted at 1:34AM on Nov 17th 2006 by AJ

193. Hmmm, now we are talking - and finally we are saying something new and different. (but, TREE TREE, just what exactly are you implying, although I
think I know. While anything is certainly possible, that is one scenario that
I have found repugnant to the point of not being able to even consider it.) But
surely anything could be truth at this point!

The character analyses of both ANS and HKS sound right on, all the way.
Codependent, needy, seriously IMMATURE..... and, as the psychologist who Nancy Grace had on during the discussions of this case, "complementary narcissists," meaning, obviously, that they complement each other in the sense that they are both very narcissistic and feel and think as though they're above the
law and are "special." I believe those are the words she used. The transcript
was online if anyone is interested in looking it up.

Both Anna and Howard are young; not chronologically but emotionally. We have seen it time and time again on their show - the Anna Nicole Show, that would be - and in the show they are giving now. There seems to be that joint need for them
to tell the world/show the world how special they are. But, even with that being the case, I do think there is a very strong possibility that Howard sincerely loves her the best way he is capable of at this point in his life. Even with all the things he has not done, I doubt there has been even one guy in Anna's life with whom
she felt this type of rather unconditional love. There is always a chance she can learn to love him the way he deserves to be loved back. (I hope I don't face a
firing squad for making that statement; it's just an opinion so don't be too hard on me. I don't feel quite the animosity towards Howard or even Anna that many on this board have shared, but do see all of your points of view nevertheless.)

As for the baby's weight, I agree with you about that baby being smaller than one would expect if either LB or HKS were the fathers (and taking into account ANS'
large frame), but it could be that the baby was a couple of weeks (or more) early.
Speaking of which..... did Anna ever state, during her pregnancy, when exactly her due date was?

Re: Your question: Does anyone know if HKS worked for a law fim when he got ANS' case?
Why would he admit to a long time affair with ANS if he knew that that could harm the JHM money case?

As far as I can recall (remember, I went out and bought the entire Season One of
Anna Nicole on DVD), there was a snippet, in the episode where Anna, Howard and Daniel have an "eating contest," where Howard relates a personal story about himself and Anna. In essence, he says that when he FIRST met her it was at the firm where he worked with two other attorneys ("partners" is the exact word he used). On this initial meeting with Anna Nicole Smith, their new client, all of the lawyers and ANS herself went to a restaurant where they proceeded to have an eating contest. ( I assume it was impromptu as opposed to planning it out in advance, but with these people, who knows?)

As for the long-term relationship with ANS issue and the pending Howard Marshall settlement, the only thing I can think of is this - and it's another question for you and anyone else who wants to answer: Do you think maybe HKS got the
word from someone in the know earlier on that the chances of winning anything in that Howard Marshall settlement were miniscule? That maybe he didn't have as much to lose by admitting the long-term affair as most of us think? And that
it sounded better to say he was involved in a long-term relationship with Anna than implying that the baby was the result of a one-night fling?

Is there a possibility that Howard opposed putting himself on the line both professionally and personally but did it all out of love and concern for Anna? I don't know....

Posted at 8:20AM on Nov 17th 2006 by Tru Katsch

195. I did not know that a woman doesn't have to name a father on the birth certificate. Now that IS very interesting. I wonder if Anna knew that. Surely Howard had to have known that it is not mandatory to name a father.
