Celebrity Justice
Judge to Anna Nicole: Gift Shmift

Anna Nicole Smith lost another court battle on Monday after a judge in the Bahamas ruled that her case against G. Ben Thompson, her landlord, had no merit.

Smith had sued Thompson, claiming that he had no basis for evicting her, saying that the house she was living in had been given to her as a gift. The judge begged to differ.

The ruling clears the way for Thompson to proceed with his eviction lawsuit against Smith.

36. I'm wise old owl. I come here under different names and tell
myself how wonderful and smart I am.
It's sad but it gets me off.

37. It 's a good thing Ben got his tubes tied else he'd be paying out the nose for kid that's not even his! She tried to pin paternity on him!

Remember when she accused Ben of "just wanting his name in the media" when he went public with his claim that she stole his house? Hmm she said the same thing about Birkhead too. Oh and Cyril Wecht said she finally paid for the autopsy, but only after he went to the press.

Despite how obviously she is a lying scam-artist, I'm pretty certain she will get away with everything, evade the test and get the Bahamas citizenship too.

38. It is WRONG that ANS still has permanent (LIFETIME) residency in the Bahamas. This is allowing her to prolong the DNA testing and paternity case, and allowing her to hide from facing justice in the U.S..

She fraudulently received permanent residency under the FALSE representation that she owned the Horizons home (not the new home). The residency permit she received wrongly should be REVOKED immediately, and she should be forced to Reapply for residency based on ownership of the “new” home, and have a police background check done on her, and prove that she has enough money to "reside without working", because she does not have a work permit. (BTW.... HKS has NO residency permit at all).

She STILL does not meet all of the residency requirements, even if she owns a home worth more than $ 500,000. We cannot let this matter get ignored.

Everyone concerned about this, and who want to try to help Dannielynn -- WRITE to the Bahamian Department of Immigration to demand that this Injustice be corrected.

Sample letter:
Ministry of Immigration, Labour and Training
Director of Immigration

Dear Director Burrows,

Anna Nicole Smith aka Vickie Lynn Marshall, was wrongfully granted permanent residency status, without the right to work, on September 11, 2006, and it should be REVOKED immediately. Her application for economic permanent residency as a foreigner, was based on ownership of a home valued at over $ 500,000.

The permit was granted based on her “home ownership” of the Eastern Road “Horizons” home. She NEVER had legal title to this home. The conveyance was never stamped or recorded in Ms. Smith’s name, obviously leaving the process incomplete. No proof of Ms. Smith’s ownership of this home was ever submitted to the Immigration Department. Ben Thompson is the sole owner of the home. The permit should be REVOKED on this ground primarily.

The sale of land to a foreigner (Ms. Smith) was never registered and no certificate of registration under the International Persons Landholding Act 1993 was obtained by Ms. Smith. The deed could not be recorded without such a deed of registration. This registration certificate was NOT provided by Ms. Smith, to the Immigration Department as proof of ownership of the home.

Regardless of any alleged improper relationship between Minister Gibson and a private individual seeking permanent residency, and who received the $ 10,000 cheque, and where and when …. The permanent residency permit should be REVOKED because all of the residency requirements were NOT met at the time of the application for such.

Anna Nicole Smith does NOT meet the good moral character requirement, and a thorough police background check was not done before granting the residency permit. Ms. Smith was allowed to submit an Affidavit attesting to her own good moral character instead of having an independent background search done.

Ms. Smith does NOT have enough money to be able to reside “without working”, and she was not granted a work permit. It is publicly known that she is not currently employed and is making money by selling photos and interviews, and is not paying her bills, and that she is waiting to win millions in a California court case, which could take several more years to reach a conclusion, and may end in her receiving no money at all.

Under no definition of the term, can Ms. Smith be considered an “investor”, or a fit and proper person to be given the privileged status of permanent residency in the Bahamas.

The issue cannot be swept under the rug, and hidden behind an illusion of “administrative efficiency” in fast tracking this residency application, while sidestepping and omitting important application requirements.

One set of rules was applied for “celebrities” (Ms. Smith) and another for Bahamians. It is obviously very wrong that Anna Nicole Smith has permanent (LIFETIME) residency in the Bahamas, while more deserving Bahamians cannot get this same privilege.

I am asking that your office REVOKE the permanent residency permit of Anna Nicole Smith immediately, and make right a grievous wrong.

Howard K. Stern Plays Hardball With Larry Birkhead

Anna Nicole: Stern Pressures Larry to Sign Deal

Anna Nicole Smith's two baby daddies (I don't know what else to call them) continue to be in a tug-of-war this morning, even as their beloved cash cow is readied for burial.

Overnight, attorney Howard K. Stern — whose hold on the situation is starting to slip — has been strong-arming photographer Larry Birkhead to do a couple of things: keep Birkhead's legal reps out of Anna Nicole Smith's Bahamas funeral, sign a contract deal with "Entertainment Tonight" and acquiesce even further regarding the future of baby Danniellynn.

Stern, as I told you the other day, has already had one secret meeting with Birkhead in which he cut out the photographer's lawyers.

I'm told that Stern has kept up the pressure on Birkhead, actually presenting him with contracts, sources say, in which Birkhead would join Stern for more exclusive interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider."

"Howard wanted Larry to sign so that it looked like everyone was in agreement, and that it wasn't just Howard benefiting from these deals," my source said. "Larry said the baby's guardian should sign the papers for him and the baby, but he wouldn't. So then Larry wouldn't."

At the same time, Stern is trying to negotiate separately with Birkhead, away from his attorneys, to sign a deal by which Stern would continue to be in baby Danniellyn's life and oversee her finances.

Stern, my sources say, is working as quickly as he can to effect these agreements before he has to turn over the baby to Birkhead, her biological father.

Sources say that Birkhead's representatives are considering taking legal action against Stern's side to prevent further communication between the two sides as soon as today.

The problem, sources also say, is that Birkhead — a novice in these games — continues to be intimidated by Stern.

"Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," both owned by CBS Paramount Television, have denied paying for interviews. But I'm told their method – it's semantics — is to "license" footage either directly from Stern or through a third party.

Recently, "ET" used Solana Productions of Southern California in such a deal. Neither Solana or anyone from CBS Paramount answered calls yesterday.

Anna Nicole: Dead, and For Sale

Today, Anna Nicole Smith — a ridiculous person who accomplished just about nothing in her life — will be buried in the Bahamas.

There are several wars taking place all over the world, not to mention famines; artists are hard at work, movies are opening, buildings are going up, diseases are being investigated. But hey: Anna Nicole is being buried, and "Entertainment Tonight" will be there for every cheesy second of it.

That's because "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," two half-hour shows syndicated by CBS's Paramount TV, have paid a high price for this honor.

Real insiders (not the kind you have to pay for info) tell me that Paramount TV cut the deal with Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole's lawyer and Svengali, right after her son Daniel died of a methadone overdose in her Bahamian hospital room last September.

Paramount TV has denied this, somewhat passively, so far. But my sources say it they paid Stern around $3 million initially, and that this was renegotiated right after Anna Nicole herself died on February 8th of this year.

Of course, we could believe that Stern — who in court told clueless Florida probate judge Larry Seidlin that he was living off his parents — just loves "ET." Anything's possible.

But the reality is that Anna Nicole's death has proven to be a ratings-sweep godsend.

Linda Bell Blue, the show's executive producer, previously helmed Paramount's ugly tabloid show, "Hard Copy." For years she's had to sit through Mary Hart's tedious, publicist-arranged interviews with low-level TV stars, just waiting for this moment: a huge celebrity death, in a sweeps month, and already contracted for!

As recently as last night, "ET" correspondent Mark Steines was reporting "from inside" Anna Nicole's Bahamas mansion — no mention of the fact that it didn't belong to her, and that the landlord is kicking everyone out.

Steines had "the inside scoop" about the B-list country singer who would serenade Anna Nicole into the next life, the color of her burial gown ("pink!") and what would be inside the coffin (with any luck, Anna Nicole).

Steines performs these interviews — as he has since last Nov. 1, when he had his first "exclusive" after Smith's son, Daniel, died — with a reasonably straight face.

He either knows he's skating on very thin ice and doesn't care, or doesn't get it and is happy to accept the money. In either case, he loses.

As far back as last November, the show's viewers were writing into "ET" forums on the Web asking how much the show had paid for the interviews, and begging them to stop.

On the topix.net forum for the show, a woman named Lana from Andrews, Texas, wrote on Nov. 6: "ET needs to rename their show The Anna Nichole (sic) Show. Every night it is about her. I wonder if there are any viewers that care to hear about her."

On Nov. 6, Dianne from Madison, Wis., wrote: "I think they might have finally driven me away from the show with all this Anna Nicole crap. How much is she paying them?"

The viewers were smarter than the show thought. That didn't stop Blue, Steines and friends.

Nancy from Richardson, Texas, posted this before Smith died on Feb. 8: "Get over her ... I am tired of all of the interviews they are doing with her. She sounds like she is either drunk or high. I have no respect for her and am getting tired of seeing her and all the interviews. She can't even talk without sounding like she is a drunken slut!"

Patti Horton from Altoona, Pa., posted this on Feb. 9: "I can't believe someone from E[T] hasn't questioned Anna Nicole about her drug use. Every night that she is being interviewed it is quite obvious that she is somewhere in la la land. I think they should of (sic) been more persistent in following that path than her new house. Some of the interviews it was all she coud (sic) do to talk. Was this a safe environment for this baby???"

Steines, of course, has a blog on the "ET" Web site. It's a hoot.

On Feb. 9, the day after Smith died, he posted: "When the news broke of Anna's death ... I immediately boarded a plane to Florida along with Khristine Eroshevich, Anna's close confidant…"

Steines acts like Eroshevich is just a pal, maybe another Playboy model. In fact, she was the model's psychiatrist, and someone who has yet to be heard from.

Eroshevich's few comments — including that she oversaw an ice bath for a dying Smith — have been limited to ... Steines, who despite his "inside" sources has not been able to secure Eroshevich for a real interview about these people and their drug use.

I doubt that will happen until Stern's usefulness has passed and his agreements with "ET" have expired.

Steines must feel a long way away from the two Emmys he received years ago in local news at KCAL-TV in Los Angeles.
