Howard: A Million Tear$

Howard K. Stern is reportedly about to make bank over Anna Nicole Smith -- by giving a "tell-all" interview to "Entertainment Tonight" -- just days after Anna's death.

The buzz is that "ET" forked over a cool $1 million for the exclusive interview, which begins airing in segments tonight, but exact details of the deal remain secret. TMZ was unable to confirm that, but it's a safe bet it's a large number. The interview takes place during Howard's flight from Florida to the Bahamas to secure Dannielynn.

In a preview clip posted on YouTube, Stern is seen "crying" over Anna's death while bleating lines like, "I just want her to be with Daniel, I hope that they're happy ... she was such a wonderful person."

32. I believe he's sincere about his grief - of course he is. Anna has been a big part of his life for years and years. It's not like they were casual aquaintences. They were basically best friends. And I don't blame him for giving an interview and making money off of it - after all he's going to get hounded until he does give an interview he might as well get paid. It's not like Anna wouldn't have done the same exact thing if roles were reversed.

33. Just my gut feeling.....Howard K. Stern is a parasite... he's been waiting a long time to somehow get his fame and fortune..... he should be ashamed of himself for selling his story of the "suppossed love of his life or whatever he considered ANS"...... watch his comment about ANS with daniel thing.... it's going to come out that he killed the both of them .....

But when it's all said and done.... this was something inevitable for ANS ... it's just a shame that it happened so soon....

35. I've never seen anything like it. He's accepting money just a day or two after Anna's death and flies to be with the multi-million $$$$ baby that isn't even his. Why is he afraid to have a DNA test done? No one has claimed Anna's body. Why didn't Howard stay in Florida, claim her body, and act like he cared about her? He doesn't want Anna's mother to see the baby because he is afraid she might want some of the money. I truly believe that Howard is involved in killing Anna and Daniel. He's the slimiest lawyer I've ever seen.

36. An article on Foxnews, link provided, has this to say about Howard

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,251488,00.html

Three days before she died, Anna Nicole Smith reportedly was planning a long stay in the sultanate of Brunei.

More precisely: Her attorney, lover and perhaps father of her baby, Howard K. Stern, was making plans to bring her to Brunei as a guest of the sultan.

An insider who was in on the negotiations tells me: "Howard knew she was around drugs all the time and wanted to bring her to a place where there aren't any. He really wanted to bring her here."

The source says that Stern was concerned for Smith's health and safety and reached out to the sultan of Brunei for help. When Smith's death was announced, the people on the other end were in shock.

"We couldn't believe it. We thought they were coming here. It's very sad."

For what it's worth, the Brunei insiders — having had e-mail correspondence with Stern in the days leading up to Smith's death — say the attorney is getting a raw deal in the press

"He's a good man," the source said. "He was trying to take care of her."

38. if the person you loved was obviously suicidal over the loss of a son to drugs, wouldn't you do everything you could to keep those same drugs away from that person? howard k. stern enabled anna's death. there was methadone and a zillion other drugs in the hotel room and in the house they shared. if he loved her those drugs would be gone, and anna would be in grief counselling right now.

39. There are enough issues and questions here to warrant an investigation. Every person who has an interest in this huge financial stake from the Marshall estate is dead. This man has sewn himself into every conceivable conflict of interest regarding this woman, her life and everything about her that produces revenue, income or value. He is a filthy parasite, who fed these people drugs, induced her to sign every power of attorney, right of election, exectuor assignment and every possible legal instrument to get this filthy hands on everything hers. I think the FBI should be looking at this man because I guarantee you there is financial fraud and white collar crime here. There are also two dead people. I fear for this baby.

This man, I think, is a dangerous, passive aggressive sociopath. Filthy slug

40. I HOPE THE POLICE ARE ON HIM LIKE THERE ISN'T NO TOMORROW, I BELIEVE HE WAS INVOLVED IN BOTH DANIEL'S AND ANNA'S DEATH....I HONESTLY THINK HOWARD K. STERN HAS HAD THIS PLANNED WAY BEFORE DANNIELYNNE WAS BORN SO HE WOULD BECOME HEIR TO ANNA NICOLE'S FORTUNE, FROM DAY ONE HE HAS MANIPULATED ANNA TO DO WHAT HE WANTED HER TO DO WHETHER IT WAS BAD FOR HER OR NOT...I SEE RIGHT THROUGH THE BLOOD SUCKER, GOLD DIGGING MURDERER. HE IS SCUM AND I HOPE HE ROTS FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE AND I PRAY THAT LITTLE GIRL FINDS PEACE AND HAPPINESS IN HER LIFE WITH A BLOOD RELATED FAMILY MEMBER BEING ABLE TO TAKE CUSTODY OF HER...NOT HOWARD K. STERN

41. There are so many physical "tells" that Howard K Stern is a liar and a manipulator. Heck even Anna was lying her ass off to ET, flat-out lying when they would ask her questions about Larry Berkhead as the father of her child. PSYCH 101, looking down the the left when you are answering questions = LIE, she did it EVERY TIME they asked about Larry Birkhead.

I DO NOT BELIEVE Howard K Stern is that baby'sd daddy, but I think he wants to believe she is and I think he wants others to believe she is. Howard KNEW she was doing a deadly prescription cocktail, and often mixing that with alcohol.....he also KNEW her actions would kill her if they continue (how could he not know that?).

When she was running a 105 temp, he also didn't take her to the hospital? No, instead they put her in an ICE BATH, which is the absolute WRONG thing to do.

I do not believe he was looking out for her welfare, I do not buy his crocodile tears either.

I just hope that somehow, someway that baby girl manages to grow up free of the freaks that have surrounded her mother.

42. This guy is disgusting!!! All he cares about is the $$$$. Did he ever try any cases as a lawyer????? I think Larry is the real father and it's so sad for him. He can't even be with his own child. I just hope the DNA tests happen ASAP and there are no more delays. Do not believe for a minute that HKS is the REAL father. He is just in it for the money.

43. I TRUELY BELIEVE HOWARD. from the very begining even when anna was weighing the most, when anna was practically bankrupt, when she was the laughing stock of hollywood.... he loved her, it showed on his face every time he looked at the woman. go ahead and bust out your Anna Nicole episodes and take a look,
Go to ETonline.com and look... http://etonline.com/celebrities/news/38722/index.html#
Larry Birkhead broke his contract wth Anna and began scaring her with his creepy stalkerish actions. she also states in that interview "I THINK HE'S AFTER MONEY AND FAME. HE WILL NEVER SEE THAT MONEY IF THAT WAS TO COME ABOUT." Her money; her wishes. I'm not saying that i think howard is the father... but i think he was a good man who loved Anna and loves that baby.
Also, show me all the photos and videos of Anna while she's pregnant... you'll find a gran d total of 2 videos under one minute and in both of them she looks terrified... almost as if SHE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE US
