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.

77. All Americans should rethink their vacation plans, if their destination is the Bahamas. It has become clear in their handling of the Anna Nicole matter that they have no laws to speak of and do not respect our laws. Howard Stern is a filthy animal who seems capable of murdering the child next. He has no job and his family is aiding and abetting in his bid to get control of Anna Nichole's body, for the next freak show. He was her drug enabler and pusher. What a rat!

78. Idefinitely think that H. Stern is a gold digger, liar and had a hand in the death of ANS and her son's death. I remember the video when the son died and Anna N. saying "why did you give him that?" This was on the tv video then and has not been repeated. It also said that Howard went out to get Daniel some food and then Daniel asked "why do I feel so tired and sleepy?" Howard Stern gave up a bed and told him to lie down in the hospital room where he was with his mother and new sister. He died after that time.

It was also reported that in the Bahamas that the first aid squad reported that they saw HS flush pills down the toilet. The Seminole tribe seem to be protecting him for some reason. They will not release the 911 call to them.

It was reported early on that one is not a permanent resident if you don't own property. He did not own the house that AN"bought" because she tore up the papers from the real owner that he wanted her to sign about payment because she had sex with him and felt that he had then given her the house. He is sueing now, so HS certainly didn't own. Now he is trying to keep the baby.

79. I've been watching ANS for a long time and I also watched her show, and I saw her treat Howard like a servant, and I thought why doesnt' she go with him because its obvious he's in love with her!! He loves her and I think she finally needed him and he gratefully stepped in as father and lover.
I think he truly loved her, and watching her if she didn't want to do something SHE DIDNT do it.
IF the people on this blog who are calling for boycotts are "normal" folk and are not in any way affiliated with Larry I plead with you to be careful what you are doing, since you are not PERSONALLY aware of the TRUTH of the relationship and wishes of ANS and Howard. If you succeed and force the goverment to act how do you know that Howard is not the best person for the baby?
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, thats why so many military person's have died for the freedom of this country, but who are we the "average" citizen to make or force a decision in someone's life? Isn't that what courts and welfare is for?? I mean think about this seriously, please?
If the baby was addicted at birth, the hospital would have known and taken action.
Shelley who stated he was and is a friend of Larry helped Anna find a sanctuary for unwed mother status. That I believe means that in spite of his friendship with Larry, he helped this woman go to a place that would deny him his paternal rights. WHY??
If all of these people KNEW she was a raving, pregnant addict, why didn't they intervene then?? Maybe ANS told anyone and everyone to go to hell if they wanted her to do something she didn't want to do, watch the show.
WHY? Did everyone BUT Howard remove themselves from her life because they didn't approve of her drug use and now they are telling of times when she was under the influence, but did NOTHING?? Howard stayed, and how do we know that he stayed because he loved her unconditionally and tried to control an activity that she was unwilling to give up?
I don't mean to offend anyone, but how would you feel if CPS was called on you because a jealous person started vicious rumors about you and they took your kids on that basis and you had to prove those rumors wrong?? It happens everyday in America. Wouldn't you say to those people "You don't know the truth, You only saw part of what happened?"
Please stop letting the media determine how we feel or act. Its a known fact that the media loves drama and may only show us bits and pieces of videos, of God forbid "unnamed sources say" We as a society are becoming robots and are letting the media think for us.
I'm absolutely proud that you would feel for this child so much that you would want to protect her and I applaud you, but is it at all possible that you may be wrong about Howard K Stern?? And if you are how would you rectify the situation??
Please I also beg you to take your wonderful concern for a child and lobby OUR government for stricter laws regarding child molesters, or help pass Megan's law in states that stll haven't passed it. Help our kids in our country, I beg you!!
IF you all don't hate me by now I would like some help. Does anyone know how you could e-mail a famous person?? Someone popular like Rosie or unpopular like Howard K Stern?
Thanks

80. MW-this media is a circus for all of us to watch.
I don't think a person should waste their time whining to the Bahamian police about their own opinions when they have "real work" to do instead of listening to people cry and complain about others trying to outrun the arm of the US law.

Not everyone who flees the US to the Bahamas is trying to run away from the law.
Give us something to truly waste our time on...

82. The official Bahamian inquest into Daniel Smith's death hasn't taken place yet. It will be held sometime in the middle of March.
It has been reported that suddenly Howard K. Stern is negotiating with Larry Birkhead to sell his interest in Danielle for cash.
Maybe he's figured out it is time to get out of Dodge..

83. Have any of you morons stopped to think this? Why would Howard Stern end the life of the VERY person who was going to testify in her son's death, and who would vouch for him?? Huh? Huh? Huh? If you were going to knock someone off, it seems to me you'd have done it much, much later on, because you'd want to get "off" the hook on Daniel's death first. You stupid schmucks. The Owner of this website is OBVIOUSLY BIASED against Mr. Stern, and is responsible for inflaming the media. I hope TMZ gets sued for DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER. It would serve the dirty so and so's.

IT is truly unconscienable that some of you morons just won't let it go, and let the police do their thing. But, if you're slinging mud, I'll do some too. As far as Larry Butthead goes, anyone notice how he turns on the tears so easily? I noticed his fist going up to his eyes. He's probably using an "aid" to help make him cry. He's an actor and would know how to get that stuff. If you are looking at motives, look no farther than him. HE has lots of them, and before Anna died, he was threatening to take the baby away from her, which no doubt is the reason she refused to go to the hospital, to avoid Larry's drug charges in an effort to take her baby from her!!!

Now, since she is gone, he's just SWITCHED to his next threat---Howard Stern. For you morons who are ready to lynch Stern, I suggest you take a deep breath and hang on for the ride...new facts will no doubt come out to taint the little sweet angle Birkhead.
