Celebrity Justice
Pregnant Anna Got Methadone, Demerol

TMZ has obtained documents that show how an 8-months pregnant Anna Nicole Smith scored methadone during her pregnancy -- and the prescription may have been illegal.


TMZ also obtained an air bill dated August 8, 2006, that states a package containing Demerol (30 pills), a morphine-like drug, Dalmane (30 pills), a sleeping pill, and injectable vials of vitamin B12 were sent to Vickie Marshall in the Bahamas. Vickie Marshall is Anna Nicole's legal name. This afternoon, the doctor who sent the medication to Anna told TMZ it was not written for her, even though it was mailed to her. He would not reveal to TMZ for whom it was written.

TMZ has also obtained a prescription dated August 25, 2006 written to a Michelle Chase for 500 ml of methadone (5mg/5ml solution). Michelle Chase was also a name used by Anna. According to California law, it's illegal to give a false name or false address "in connection with the prescribing, furnishing, administering, or dispensing of a controlled substance."


TMZ has also obtained a separate air bill, dated the very same day, that shows a package containing 500 ml of methadone was sent to Vicky Marshall in the Bahamas.

We're told one of the main reasons Larry Birkhead broke off his relationship with Smith was because she was doing drugs while pregnant. Birkhead has accused Stern of facilitating Smith's drug use.

Dannielynn was born September 7, 2006.

1. WHY would doctors give a pregnant woman (famous or not) these drugs? That baby may need rehab herself. WHY would Anna be so irresponsible with the life of her unborn child? Where was HKS during all of this and why would he enable Anna instead of getting her help if the child was his? Slimeball!!!!
Give the baby to Brangelina.

3. I shall file this under the "SHOCKING" category. Also, Richard SImmons might be gay, that too would be filed under "SHOCKING".

4. yeah well, for all you lemmings who are overrating ANS's character, here you go. Proof she was, at the very least, prepared to put her baby in danger for her own selfish habits - drugs being only one of many. phew

5. Why should this be a surprise to anyone? Obviously, everyone other than HKS has been saying the same thing for quite some time! Perhaps the Courts will take note!

7. Disturbing! I hope the drs prescribing these meds to ANS alias will be questioned! What dr in their right mind would do such a thing?

8. I thought she was a "victim" in all of this? Wonder if it was easier to score drugs on the island than in the States? HKS is more of an enabler infatuated fool than a killer. I doubt anyone told ANS what to do particularly when it came to money & drugs. Beside, how could one possibly explain anything rational to her? In the meantime HKS will hold the baby hostage before he heads off to Kato Kaelin-ville.

12. Half this stuff isn't news, just watch Nancy Grace. Yes Anna used a Alias on her prescriptions just like dozens of other celebrities do. Big deal.


Are these some of the documents that were stolen from her home??????

SHAME ON TMZ, bunch of thieves. I hope they sue the crap out of you guys.

13. SHE WAS A DRUG ADDICTED PERSON. YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE SOME RXS AND I AM SURE SHE KNEW HOW TO GET ANYTHING SHE NEEDED.....THE BABY LOOKS VERY SMALL FOR AGE BUT ADORABLE SAD TO SAY THE CHILD NEVER HAD A CHANCE IN HELL WITH STERN AND ANNA....NOW EVEN STERNS SISTER SAYING SHE IS NOT SURE WHO THE FATHER IS. STERN IS NOT THE FATHER LIVING UNDER THE SAME ROOF AS ANNA IN THE END HE GOT HER NO HELP.DNA WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THIS. YOU GUYS ARE DOING GOOD JOB OF COVERING THIS.....MAY THIS CHILD BE GIVEN AND RECV. ALL OF THE MONEY FROM THE ESTATE OF ANNA'S LATE HUSBAND. SHE WILL ONE DAY WATCH AND READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION CONC. HER MOTHER AND MULTI PARTNERS. MAY SHE TAKE SOME OF THE FUNDS AND HELP OTHER DRUG ADDICTED MOTHERS AS SHE HAD,BUT NEVER KNEW YES,ANNA'S PROBLEMS WITH HER MOTHER DEEP ROOTED BUT THIS CHILD WILL ONE DAY WANT TO KNOW HER GRANDMOTHER AND WILL WANT TO LEARN ABOUT HER MOTHER. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY TMZ POSTS HOWARD STERN!!! UNDER POLICE QUESTION AND ARRESTED.......IF NOT BEING ABLE TO CATCH HIM FOR DRUGS I AM SURE THIS SLIME HAS SOME SHADY ILLEGAL SCAMS THAT WILL COME OUT.

15. Surprise!! Surprise!! AN was capable of getting her own drugs. I don't think HKS facilitated her drug use as claimed by LB. I think she would have been dead long ago if HKS hadn't been around. Remember he found her face down in the pool at one point. She had a drug problem way, way before HKS. You can't make an addict get help.
