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.

16. If HK$ had so much concern for Anna.....WHY was he letting her take this stuff while pregnant? He was probably just trying to kill two birds with one stone. He probably meant for Anna and the baby to die first.....that way it would have been easier to make Daniels death look like a suicide. That plan backfired and you know what happened next.

17. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. If she did drugs while she was pregnant than she deserves what she got. They need to take this baby away from Stern if he just sat back and watched her take this crap. They should have tested the baby when it was born. That poor child.

26. TMZ "obtained"? Please explain just how you happened to "obtain" scrips and an airbill from a deceased persons possesion. Seems illegal to me, maybe that was part of what was taken during the recent lock changing and break-in incident at the Bahamas home.

Dirty pool at best, potential fakery at worst. Why not name the Bahamian or US person who stepped forward with such claims?

Not that I wouldnt believe it, but you might want to add a bit more credibility to your claims rather than the tired form of "according to sources" or "obtained"...

27. In light of this new, but not shocking discovery, perhaps this explains why HKS nestled her away in the Bahamas and has been fighting submission of the baby's DNA so vigorously???? Considering the dates of the meds, most probable ANS was using during pregnancy and child probably has been exposed to these drugs and why he continues the delay tactics for ANYONE to see the kid, much less be tested for the paternity!

28. The airbills explain a lot. I'm surprised everytime someone close to Anna Nicole is interviewed and says they didn't notice any behavior consistent with someone on perscription drugs. I wasn't even close to her and with so many television appearances wherein her speach was slurred and seemed to have some gognative imparement, it had to be attributed to drugs.

As for Larry Birkhead, why is this big statement of concern just coming out now? Did he not report this on behalf of his supposed unborn child to Child protective services or something? Probably not!

As this case unfolds on Fox News, I'm more convinced than ever that poor Anna was surrounded by opportunists, it's a sad tragedy that proves human nature can be a hair above prehistoric pondscum when you consider all the lies, the breaking into, ransacking her house!

I don't think at any time being with Anna Nicole could have been easy given her immature outbursts seen often on TV, but for whatever reason Howard Stern put up with it. I think he felt a strong need to protect her from the leeches and even from herself but nobody can really help an addict.

As for worrying about the baby, nothimg is going to happen to the baby at this point. Living in the shadow of a legacy that will surely be Anna Nicole by the time Dannilyn is old enough to understand will certainly NOT be easy. I only hope that she is not predisposed to become an addict herself, as is so often the case.

I guess my gaydar isn't that great though because I would have sworn anyone with such bad highlights as Larry Birkhead had to be gay .. or a cheesy poolboy looking for action.

TMZ staffers caught stealing documents from Smith's home in Bahamas. Just tell me, what time do you plan on posting the Dannielynn birth certificate and when does the ebay auction start for all the paintings and artwork?

30.

Don't put ANS's mother on a pedastal ! Virgie ( fat slob ) is getting paid blood money for interviews , books ect.

I could respect Larry more if he kept this between HKS and himself ( man to man ) ANS's mother allowed ANS to be molested by her step dad . ANS's aunt raised ANS .

btw ! why didn't Virgie come out when Daniel died ??? because the money was with ANS !!

Now that ANS is gone .....
