Celebrity Justice
Cops Investigate Shane Gibson

TMZ has learned the Commissioner of Police in the Bahamas has received "an official complaint" against former Minister of Immigration Shane Gibson -- and the Commissioner is now conducting a formal investigation.

Gibson resigned after photos surfaced showing a chummy relationship between himself and Anna Nicole Smith. Gibson green-lit Smith's petition for residency, even though it's questionable she was entitled to receive it.

Police sources would not say who or what agency filed the complaint. We're told, however, that the Commissioner is required to investigate. Sources would not say if the investigation involves possible criminal misconduct.

151. #149, Yale?! Good try.... He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and received his Juris Doctor from the University of California, Los Angeles. He was admitted to the State Bar of California on February 25, 1994 and has no record of any disciplinary action.

Stern maintains an apartment in Santa Monica, California, from which he operated a business called "Hot Smoochie Lips Inc." According to the New York Post, this talent agency only had one client, Anna Nicole Smith

153. I wonder if Hot Smoochie Lips Inc was the dummy corp that he was said to be setting up for Anna not to long ago?

154. D Opri accused Stern of murder in the courtroom...?? WOW she will be ousted...she's a loud mouth..no offense to Birkhead, but I don't care for her...

155. McKara, when you get your head outta your ass, take another look at the photos....they were NOT doctored. I knew there would be someone coming up with "overexposed" or something......Yeah...Ok......Just by chance, SEVERAL photos of Shane Gibson were taken separately from ANS, and they just HAPPEN to fit like a damn puzzle. That's not over exposure. Do you know anything about photography? Or the developing process? There would be many shadows and clarity would be severly compromised. Those photos were EXTREMELY clear and corroborate many other stories. Don't speak ill of the dead.....Anna is in a better place now, with her son, and the case is cut and dry. Howards been ducking a DNA since the beginning. Period. If he was the father, and had her best interests at hand, he would step forward and say, "She's mine, I can prove it, etc.". but no......his lameass excuse is "I'm not doing it cause Birkhead wants it." Yeah, believable. (Cough) If the best interest of the baby is at hand.......DO IT. But it's not. His interests are 1) Staying in the Bahamas 2) Staying out of the US and 3) Staying out of Jail. Pretty soon he will have MORE interests......Like explaining why he's sold videos of ANS AFTER her death - actually one video sold AN HOUR after she died, why he's staying in a home that there's an eviction order on, why HE bought the plots in the Bahamas (cause unless his folks chipped in for that as well, he was writing one of ANS checks)......the man is a dirtbag. If he IS NOT guilty of murder (another issue for him with everything that's coming out), then the very least, AS A HUMAN BEING, he can do is look out for this child's best interests. He's not. Bottom Line. It's about HIM. Dannielynn deserves a LIFE, not a prison. She deserves a happy life with blood relatives and grandparents and cousins and birthday parties and Christmas's, etc. She's a little girl, not a bank account.

156. First they say the pics were taken at her birthday and she was not feeling well and now they say it was her baby shower.

Regardless, I think there was some wrong doing (whether monetary or sexual) on the part of Mr. Gibson and if the Bahamas government is smart, they will ask him to leave...

157. She never dated black guys? don't be too sure about that... If I recall correctly, she had some connection/association to OJ Simpson...

158. An interview, or her Bio last week, on E showed her with a very black bodyguard, Alexander Denk.....I believe it was after Playboy, before HKS...it caused publicity problems, and they had said that she was person non grata' in Hollywood at that time....because of the sexual rumors....
Just stating...what I saw and heard....
PS....he was not an attractive man...by any means...my opinion

159. Bahamas Cabinet Minister Shane Gibson’s explanation that he never received any gifts to influence his decisions is not the same as I have never received any gifts from Anna Nicole Smith. It just may be the viewpoint of more than some, that the Minister’s answer means his answer was organized as to not give rise to his, at minimum, Bad Judgment as a Minister of the Crown. Mr. Minister if it walks like a duck, quacks like a dick
(not misspelled) then it is a ministerial hard on. Mr. Minister, I hope you are telling Bahamians and Prime Minister Christie (also your friend) and your family and friends, nothing but the truth, so help you to your God! From all I have heard about you, you remain highly respected among most Bahamians, and among your colleagues in the Christie Government. Good Luck Mr. Gibson!

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.

164. where are all the facts? I don't see anything but a bunch of gossip half truths lies inuendos and stories that are ever changing so this is a factless case.

165. I wonder how many mothers and fathers who had a daughter and grandson who "mysteriously" ended up dead at such an early age would not want anything and everything, stolen or not, to be brought to attention if it would help in finding out why their daughter and grandson are no longer with them.I for one would be grateful for any type of evidence given to the police if it helped in finding out why my daughter and grandson turned up dead. And I would be kicking a lot of butt if then I had to endure both of them being buried in a foreign land and my grand daughter being held hostage by a man who isn't even willing to have the babies DNA tested for proof of the legitimate father. Not to mention the fact that er boyfrien was getting and giving my daughter, my pregnant daughter drugs or at the very least not trying to stop her use of it. I also wonder how many fathers out there would go along with their wife/girlfriend consuming drugs of any kind and not trying to stop them or put them in rehab and making sure they stayed there until they were clean and then making darn sure the baby had a very thorough physical to make sure the child was not harmed or addicted. And I sure wouldn't want anyone giving my new grand daughter baby seditives on top up what she might already have in her system due to the mothers drug use. If what Shelly's did was wrong in obtaining videos, etc. illegally, but it confirms there was wrong doing to cause these deaths, I say nothing wrong there if the end justifies the means. Put yourself in this situation and see if you wouldn't want all evidence out in the open to find out why your loved ones are now dead, not to mention not knowing how or where your newest grand daughter is and how her health is. I would also try to make sure an independent M.E,did another autopsy, one that isn't getting paid by someone else to do it. There have been too many underhanded things going on in this case to trust any of them involved. Just my opinion
