Anna Nicole's Will

TMZ has obtained the will of Anna Nicole Smith, aka Vickie Lynn Marshall. The will is dated July 30, 2001 and was drafted prior to Dannielynn's birth and Daniel's death, and therefore indicates that Anna only had a son.

The will entrusts all of Anna's property and names Howard K. Stern as executor.

There were two witnesses to the will's signing, one of which was Kimberly Walther, Anna's former assistant.

1171. Here's another thought, if Howard owns the graves, which he does, and then Anna is buried there in a grave that Howard has the deed to, then I would suppose that Howard could somehow make money from that. He could sell the graves to the highest bidder, he could charge money for people to visit the graves?, he could resell the two plots that are left to whomever wants to be buried next to Anna. Do you think Howard has his name on the graves for a reason? Kinda strange that his name is on them, but not on anything else.

1172. personally i know this whole fiasco will be brought out into the light soon
1. howard k stern was her attorney in the whole scheme of things with the settlement of the 474 million.
2.he was veryaware of her drug use and helped her to stay dependant on the drugs.
3. when people are addicted to drugs they seem to isolate from people
who are trying to tell them that drugs will destroy them.
daniel's body needs to be exhumed,anna's toxolgy report needs to come
right now and that baby needs to be taken from howard stern he will be found out soon and very soon remember he was every where their was tragedy. remember one who is out of control in their life wrecks the most
havoc on everyone in their world. anna was i believe a very wonderful person and to that when your in that bling bling world most of those people are so unhappy with all their substance be happywith who you are not with someone who tells you who you are.GOD SAYS WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE

1173. I am so pleased that poor Anna is going to be with her son finally . I have a lot of fear in my heart for little Dannilynn as she grows up . I think she is in for a hard life as so many will be after her just for money . I fear for her safety . I do not agree that it should be made public what is going to be in Anna's coffen . I think it will lead to people maybe trying to dig her up to get what is inside , ( a bad thought ) but one never knows . I just pray we will still get to see Dannilynn from time to time to see how she is being looked after . Also to watch the little angel grow

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.

1175. Interesting Briggs,
Under oath he was not after money ?? What a farce then all the above you have printed .
Selling tickets to attend a funeral of a dead person sure
can't get much lower than that but for sure he will try.
He has always looked like a crook ...........................................

How can anyone not see he is a habitual liar,crook and anything else negative you would like to add.

1176. I feel badly for Anna not getting the opportunity to get some serious help with her problem. I am sure she was crying out for help but the right help wasnt there. Howard helped her with her medications and made sure she got the proper dose. She stayed doped up so badly, she was not coherent after Daniel's death. After saying all of this, I feel Howard had nothing to do with her death or her will.

1177. I THINK ITS HIGHLY IMPERATIVE THAT PEOPLE REALIZE THAT ITS NOT VIRGIE PROFITING OFF THIS AT ALL. SHE HAS DONE EVERYTHING TO HELP HER GRANDAUGHTER AND GET THIS LEACH AWAY FROM HER GRANDAUGHTER.NOONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO HER. IF FOR NOTHING ELSE, SHE CAN SAY IN THE END SHE TRIED HER BEST. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DONT SEEM TO NOTICE THAT ITS NOT VIRGIE ARTHURS PEOPLE GOING ALL OVER THE MEDIA TRYING TO TELL LIES FOR HER, ITS STERNS PEOPLE.IF THIS BABY HAS TO LIVE WITH HOWARD SNAKE ALL OF ITS LIFE,BY THE TIME SHE TURNS 21 SHE WILL HAVE NOTHING.SHE MAY NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO 21IN HIS CARE IF ANYONE HASNT NOTICED, PEOPLE ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES AROUND HIM.THE CHILD SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO A SAFE HOME AT BIRTH.IF ANNA HAD BEEN POOR, IT WOULD HAVE BY THE CPS, BUT OBVIOUSLY, THERES A LAW FOR THE RICH, AND A LAW FOR THE POOR, AND THATS THE REAL FACTS. I SHOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE MIGHT BE DISCREET ON THE COMMENTS MADE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN FAMILY OF THE DECEASED MIGHT COME TO THIS SITE.ID ASK YOU WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY AS IF IT WERE TRASH?

1179. Mothers and daughters have squabbles , it happens, and things can be said that were said out of anger and/ hurt, but there remains a bond forever, and I feel very bad for Anna's mother, to have lost her child and Grandchild, and possiblr her grandchild. The whole thing is terribly sad.
