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."

46. You can't blame Howard for Anna's drug use. He's drugged out as well.

47. He is a loser. He is playing his game... Little does he know everyone knows he is guilty in assisting Daniel and Anna in their deaths. I feel so sad for her because it seems as if even her own family trashed her.
I just hope that Anna's daughter will eventually end up in the true place she belongs. I fear that her life will end up a carbon copy of her mothers!

48. Yes, they were REAL tears! Please. What do you want the man to do?

I did not see a tear from Anna's mother's face, though, and although her voice seemed to quiver a couple of times, Anna's sister sure sounded pretty stoic on the telephone interviews she gave (one right after the other on t.v. stations).

Howard is the ONLY person I have seen cry at all since Anna's death.

49. Judge not less you be judged. How can you judge a person's grief. Unfair judgement and cruel comments is probably what let Anna Nicole to die of a broken heart.

50. Oh, I believe the tears (what little there is of them) are real. HKS has been working for 13 years to get his hands on the money from Howard Marshall's estate, but he didn't plan on ANS checking out so soon. The tears are because he's seeing it all go bye-bye. If he'd really cared for ANS, he would have gotten her help YEARS ago instead of feeding her drug habit. What do ANS and Daniel's deaths have in common?????? Methadone and HKS!!!!!!!!

The comment he made - ""I just want her to be with Daniel,..." almost sounds like a confession......................he killed her so she could be Daniel.

51. I believe Howard lost the ability to perceive what is real and what is "Made for TV Reality" I also believe that commitment ceremony was just another ploy to get money, but, Howard could not differentiate from reality and publicity stunts.. Maybe that was where things went wrong with Daniel, looking at selling headlines and not thinking about reality..

52. that idiot isnt even crying.....i think he offed both of them (anna and her son)

53. I feel sorry for Howard. He fell in love with the wrong woman and should have left her years ago. He devoted his entire life to Anna and has been with her for many, many years...before she even met that old fool she married. Don't go blaming Howard for Anna's death. Anna was a train wreck on a self-destruction path and no one could save her. Her insecurity and lack of self esteem caused her to turn to drugs, alcohol and bad relationships. Howard was there for her always trying to "save" her. In the end, no one could save Anna from herself. She and Daniel died because of the drugs and lifestyle she chose. She had choices in life but threw away everything. The only stable thing in her life through all her ups and downs was Howard Stern...he tried his best, got her into rehab and never deserted her. No need for everyone to finger point and attack the only person who ever, truly loved her.

54. I believe he's hurting.
I believe he's scared to death.
I believe he knows the end is near.
I believe he's in huge trouble.
I believe he took an easy million like most would.
I believe it's playing out just the way he planned it.
I believe he didn't kill anyone.
I believe he's disfuntional.
I believe he HOPED the relationship would be more then it was.

I hope we don't have to see much more of him. ENOUGH!!

55. This is probably one of the most tragic lives that has been lived out so publically. Not saying she wasn't responsible for any of her actions, she was. But it's a tragedy nonetheless.

I think the only one true person who honestly, totally, and absolutely unconditionally loved her was the one person she lost 5 months ago, Daniel. I can only imagine how lost and alone she must've felt these past few months.

56. This bastard is such an opportunist.
Selling his "grieving" moments to an Entertainment show for a million bucks.

Going to the Bahamas to claim a baby that is not even his. Keeping that baby from those who have more of a right to her than he does.

He'll get his: his house of cards will fall when that DNA test is done.

57. Oh ya, and ET is the scum of the earth!!!! They've been doing these interviews with them for months and had witnessed the decline of ANS (Mark Steines admitted it) yet they just kept giving them (HKS) money for these "exclusive" interviews. ET is acting as a PIMP!!!

58. it sounds to me like ans just would not take the blame for anything she did in life. you can't just sit there and say everybody hates me and is trying to sue me? i know alot celebs get sued for no reason, but there are bigger fish in the celebrity sea. i think she believed that everything was free to her. and when people come to collect, she refused to pay, gets sued and paints herself as the victim. entertainment tonight was obviously keeping cash in her pocket because they seem to be the only ones interested in what she was up to. if howard was smart, he'd shut up because in a case like this, what lawyer would recommend speaking in public about this incident? i guess howard is the only one, because he just can't shut up about it. we all know she hates her family but what do they care now? they can talk all they want, write their books and sell her pictures for a nice price and make their own little fortune off of all of this, with or without that baby.

59. Oh pleaseeeeee, that IS NOT his baby. How could you possibly believe that?? I don't know what's going on, we will soon all see together. Whatever it is is juicy stuff though. RIP Anna, and I do feel bad for Howard, although he may be a murderer, who knows. Anyway, I heard one theory is that Daniel is the father...mmm...that's food for thought. The baby is cross-eyed, after all (in case nobody has noticed).
