Celebrity Justice
Howard K. -- The Heat is On

Howard K. SternThe police in the Bahamas are in a tricky situation with two investigations - allegations that Howard K. Stern may have contributed to Daniel's death by fueling him with methadone, and an allegation that the owners of Anna Nicole's house broke-in after her death.

Howard K. Stern filed a police report accusing Ford Shelly, son-in-law of G. Ben Thompson (who owns the house), of breaking into the home and changing the locks. Police sources confirm with TMZ that the breaking and entering investigation is still "active." Aside from the fact that the allegation is tenuous, police are now faced with an embarrassing situation. "Victim" Howard K. Stern is looking increasingly like a man who stoked Anna's addiction to drugs in the later months of her pregnancy -- recording it on tape and gleefully saying the video would become a cash cow.


We're told the investigation has enraged Ford Shelly, who says he had full authority to enter the house. Shelly got the greenlight from a magistrate and a judge before entering the house.

Furthermore, we're told the police knew Shelly was inside the house because Shelly himself called the cops and informed them he found a big container of methadone in Anna's refrigerator. The cops had no problem with that at the time.

Now that drugs loom around Stern, the cops are in a bind -- focusing their attention on what probably will turn out to be a flimsy claim against the owners of the house.

62. First of all i would like to say that I was @ the Hard Rock in early January for a long weekend & boxing fight and saw Anna down at the pool w/ her body guard where she seemed to be quite alert ( walking around on her own ) Later that night I saw her again at the fight w/ Howard and they seemed to be very loving and affectionate towards one another. He was vert attentive to her & her needs. I was seated a couple of rows behind them.
I do believe that he was her "do" boy. He truly loved her and could never say NO to her probably in part due to fear that if he did tell her know that she would dump him. He was an enabler, there are many people amongst us who enable alcoholic spouses, parents etc. Don't be so quick to judge. Don't be so quick to point the finger, as we will never know the complete truth.

63. This totally were her wishes to be buried right next to her child.
to all. be more respectful to the baby she will read this one day.
and something to the mother. you don't give up on your child. she needed you then not now.
I personally buried my child she was only 20, and I would want to be buried by her side.
not by mother, father, or neighbor.
God Bless.

64. I don't think Howard is a good man, he either had an agenda or he was so blinded by her he would do anything to be with her including helping her addictions.......I think he needs to go home with his sister and parents and take some time to get his life together...Howie you need to sit by your parents pool and read some of your law books, cuz you did not do a very good job for Anna and her daughter.....

69. I also loved it when he stated the reason for not burying Daniel earlier: Exact quotes..
Emotionally she died when Daniel died. Initially would not accept that Daniel was gone and that it went on for quite some time that is the reason why she didnot want to bury him earlier than ummmmm ultimately she did, the time that we did. Then he rambles on for awhile and then he said she said it was never where is Daniel was to be, it was, ummmm all the discussion was were are we all going to be.

Not one time did he state about how she wanted to bury him in California but did not know how to get him there. (This is reported by her in the newspapers)

70. I think Howard's face on the witness stand says it all. He knows all too well that the game is over. All the free partying, free dope, free booze, free sex...it's all over. Now it's time to pay the piper...and He's fresh out of piper cash.

71. The people here are judgmental but maybe have a right to be.

I am seeing Anna Nicole Smith as being just as guilty. She used this Howard guy just as bad as people say he might've used her. He was her personal attendant, butler, and everything in between. She wanted him there, gang, did you ever think of that? Why would she say he was her best friend (and vice versa) if she didn't feel that way? She wanted him there. No question about it, for whatever reason, she wanted him.

72. He admitted he never read the will. What if he had read the will?

This guy was not gonna win either way, you all made your minds up a long time ago. You're all heading for a big surprise I think when you find out who are the really bad guys in this sick story.

73. I think that Howard Stern was being a INTERVENTION for Anna Nicole because METHADONE is one of the SAFEST DRUGS PREGNANT WOMEN can use when trying to get off other drugs!!!!! All the info that I've seen has said so!! I've seen pics. of the baby and she looks completely heathy!! The Hospitals do blood work on babies when they are born to look for drugs and other things so if she was on METHADONE wouldn't they have said that the baby had METHADONE in her system when she was born??I'm not saying that she's innocent, but from personal experience of addiction it is not an easy thing to do. OPIATES are very hard to quit!!! If you have a husband or a wife that is helping you to quit, needs to be the one that gives you the medication otherwise, like myself will end up taking more that perscribed!! I also lost my son, he died when he was 14 due to having LEUKIMIA for 4 years a total of amost 6 years!!! He also went through a BONE-MARROW-TRANSPLANT, which was succesfull but the CHEMO-RADIATION-COMPLICATIONS had done their damage to his body!!! After his death and now 3 years later I have taken prescribed drugs and not always from a DR. and I am addicted!!! I just wanted to be NUMB and not think!!! If you haven't lost a child no matter how have NO BIZZ-NESS saying anything!!! It is the hardest and worst thing a mother should have to go through!!! I wouldn't wish this PAIN on my worst enemy!!! So you people that think you no everything should just SHUT THE FUCKUP ALREADY!!!

75. Kat - you will find all all kinds of nasty remarks on this board but even the low hitters refrain from making remarks like yours. Uncalled for and very, very poor taste.
