Birkhead: Stern Taunted Me, Gave Drugs to Sick Anna

Larry Birkhead alleged on the witness stand that during a hospital stay in April 2006, when Anna Nicole Smith was ill and several months' pregnant, that Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole had "a duffel bag" full of drugs with which they would supplement the hospital's dosages.

Birkhead added that Anna Nicole made "a baby book" while in the hospital, in which she identified Birkhead as the dad, and Howard K. Stern as "Uncle Howard." Nearing tears, Birkhead described his efforts to help Anna get past her drug problems at her Studio City home in May 2006.

He also suggested that Stern was "romantically interested" in Anna Nicole but that the love was unrequited. Birkhead said that Stern challenged Birkhead's paternity, and taunted him with the possibility that South Carolina businessman Ben Thompson might be the actual father.

181. Howard K. Stern should be arrested immediatly as it was shown by testimony and videos by all who knew him, that he contributed to the death of Daniel and Anna Nicole Smith with his personal drugs. This is a sick person and anyone who would allow him to have Anna's child Dannielynn should pray, that she is not in danger. Most people who draw up a will and have minor children also have an insurance policy.. I am a 62 year old great grandmother who would like to know why you are not saving this child from that maniac?.

182. The big question here is ......... If LB seen them taking drugs in the hospital room WHY DIDN'T HE REPORT IT TO THE NURSES AND LET SECURITY TAKE CARE OF IT??????? If he was so worried about "his" baby that would have been the thing to do. LB please anser that question.

183. Well if Larry knew Howard was giving drugs to Anna in the hospital..... Why didn't he go the cops or even the doctors.....I mean after all she was pregnant with his child.....so he says....and what kind of man would give up the rights to his child....since everyone says Anna was on drugs........please face it u may not like Howard.......but it seems that Anna did.....she trusted him with her life, money and her children so the guy can't be that bad........

184. HKS WILL ALWAYS HAVE CONTROL OF THE MONEY, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS HAD ANNA'S TRUST..AND KNOWS ALL THE DETAILS ...THERE IS NO QUESTION HE LOVED HER VERY MUCH...AND THAT HE LOVES DANIELYN....IF HE IS NOT THE FATHER .... HE WILL MAKE AN SPLENDID GUARDIAN...
IN ANY EVENT DANIELYN HAS A VERY IMPRESSIVE SET OF GENES.....I SUSPECT THE BEST IS YET TO COME IN THE ANNA NICOLE WORLD CLASS DRAMA...
AKS MIGHT NOT BE AS ENGAGING AND PRETTY AS LARRY BIRKEAD ,BUT HKS COMES ACROSS AS A MUCH MORE CARING AND LOYAL INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD MAKE A GREAT PARENT....HIS TRACK RECORD? : 12 YEARS AT THE SIDE OF ANNA.

185. I was watching tv tonight and I can't beleive what I was hearing on Entertainment Tonight.
I hope Vergie Authur gets her granddaughter and shows Howard K Stern and his FAMILY what true heartache is.Just because Mr. Stern is a lawyer does anyone realize the underhanded stuff he has been doing for sometime the lies etc. And now I understand him and Larry are making a deal!!!! Gee I wonder what the deal is!!!!! Larry seemed to be a good guy but I'm seeing a different person since he and Larry had their meeting. I couldn't believe my eyes at how Larry was treating Vergie Authur at the funeral. Here you see 2 men that were involved with Anna Nicole and you look at all the pictures etc of them and this is what I am beginning to see. Mr. Stern was her PIMP and so called LAWYER or should I say her PUPPET. Both of these guys were unablers. Vergie at least had the common sense to try and help her daughter and when she refused her mothers love and her blood families help.Anna turned her back on her family. She was out to get the big boys with money and she got to the point in her life she thought she was better then her own blood family. She was very much a high priced hooker which I'm sure Mr. Stern knew and set up a lot of these flings.!!!!!! This poor baby and her grandmother are the total victims in the mess that MR. STERN AND ANNA NICHOLE SMITH made. She had a 20 yrs old son using drugs what does that tell you!!!!!!
He was raised around it and ANNA AND MR. STERN knew this but just kept on. Maybe everyone should take a look at that. WAS SHE A GOOD MOTHER????? Should Vergie be condemed??? Or should everyone CONDEMEN ANNA NICOLE AND MR. HOWARD I guess everyone is missing something. And how does Entertainment Tonight get all these exclusive rights to all the information about ANNA'S funeral and her daughter. I'd say MR. STERN IS STILL WHEELING AND DEALING AND USING ANNA FOR HER BUCKS wouldn't you say the same thing!!!!!!!! I HOPE HE GETS DISBARRED AND CAN NEVER PRACTICE LAW IN THE UNITED STATES. I know I'd never want a flaky lawyer like him and all his lawyer friends. If the Sterns are such a high class family weren't they ashamed of their son living off a women all these years??? This family needs to clean under their own door step!!!!!!!!! and not make judgement on Anna's blood family. Vergie you go for it girl and don't ever stop fighting for your ganddaughter and bring your daughter and grandson back home to their roots. And ETERTAINMENT TONIGHT YOUR A POOR GOSSIP SHOW. MR. STERN WILL GET HIS IN THE END.
