Lets Get This Party Started
Howard K. - Kicked to the Curb

Howard K. Stern is so clearly not the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, according to the owner of the house where Anna Nicole stayed in the Bahamas, that he's being evicted from the estate.

South Carolina businessman G. Ben Thompson bought the house in Smith's name, with the understanding that Smith would buy it from him down the road. However, says Thompson to Access Hollywood (via Us), "We know that Howard K. Stern cannot pass [the DNA test] in any way that would suggest he is the father of that particular child" – and so Thompson's going to serve him with an eviction notice.

And what's worse for Howard is that if Larry Birkhead or Virgie Arthur gets custody of the baby, Thompson says one of them might be given the chance to live in Horizons.

Lindsay's Mom to Greasy Bear: "You're Disgusting"


Well what did you expect, really, when someone calls your daughter a "firecrotch?" Dina Lohan didn't hold back when Harper's Bazaar asked her about Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis' name-calling rant against her daughter. "Whatever he did, he did, and it was bad and it was disgusting," says Mama Lohan, who also engages in a bit of amateur head-shrinking when she suggests that Greasy's behavior stems from his parents' broken marriage. Meanwhile, Dina adamantly makes a statement about Lindsay that she may come to regret: "Lindsay at 26 is not going to clubs! She's not. It's just not happening." Well, Dina, you may want to check out our Starcatcher to see what club she snuck out of last night.

Jay-Z Too Big Pimpin' for L.A. Reid?


Is there trouble in the Def Jam executive suite? Rush & Molloy report today that the relationship between the rapper-mogul and Island/Def Jam Chairman L.A. Reid is crumbling, and that Jay-Z won't re-up with the label as an exec unless he gets a hefty pay raise. Sources tell R&M that the bad blood flows because Jay-Z isn't in the office enough, now that he's un-retired, and because he makes Reid feel like the second-in-command, even though Jay-Z is technically Reid's lieutentant. But Reid says it's just rumors: "He's so important to our company, there's not much we wouldn't do to keep him here, money being the least of them."

Party Favors: Britney Victim of Disney, Says Bernhard ... Coppola's Comeback Movie Comes This Fall ... Bon Jovi Buys Big in Soho


Normally acid-tongued comic Sandra Bernhard says she feels "empathy" for Britney Spears, and blames Brit's troubles on her parents and the "disgusting, slimy world of Disney," or so she puts it to the Buffalo News. ... Francis Ford Coppola's umpteenth "comeback movie" will hit theaters this fall, says the Hollywood Reporter. It's a World War II story called "Youth Without Youth," which Coppola describes as "a love story wrapped in a mystery." ... Jon Bon Jovi will be livin' on a prayer – 26 million green paper ones – after he bought a Soho loft for $26 million, says the New York Post.

31. GREED KILLED ANNA

Posted at 9:17AM on Mar 23rd 2007 by pms

32. hmmmmmmm............................. wonder who injected her and for what reason? Anyway you look at it, this is a criminal case now.

Posted at 9:18AM on Mar 23rd 2007 by TEAMBIRKHEAD

33. My Guess:

CAUSE OF DEATH: Drug Overdose (He will list the drugs) + some other medical condition.

MANNER OF DEATH: Accident.

I think Perper will say that she had an accidental drug overdose. He and the police may not be able to prove homicide and, sadly, I think he will believe that no one intended to kill her.

He will allude to the fact that Anna lived in an environment of enablers who supported her in her detemination to be a drug addict. A criminal investigation may not be attached to her death but there should be one related to drug traffic.

34. I'd question why FS would allow the child to live there? They stated " we know Howards not the father " why because one of them actually is? NOT Larry? Therefore they'd love to remain in contact with the child, ( perhaps for greed ) it's beyond ridiculous to suggest the child remain living in the home in which the only parents she'd ever known are no longer present, that to me sounds like it's yet another revenge and plotting to cover the real truth of what may have happened to Daniel and Anna meaning perhaps its FS who committed the perfect crimes and everyone was duped including me, BTW I never liked Howard K Stern however just like in AI's Sanjaya getting the bad rap, I no longer dislike either of them ( ok maybe not the best example ) LOL, But surely you catch my drift!

Blaspheming? Do you have an altar set up to him in your living room? If so, sorry to rain on your personal god. He's a money-grubbing leech who lived off Anna and whose primary interest in Dannilynn is getting hold of any money she might inherit. Daniel's dead. Anna's dead. 6 months down the line I'm sure it will be yet another terrible 'tragedy' when Dannilynn is dead too.

Tell me how the egg tastes when you wipe it off your face.

36. DR KRIS HAS DIRTY HANDS! SHE SAID SHE SPOKE TO ANNA ON THE 8TH ... I WOULD BET SHE LIED ABOUT THAT!

37. for a "lawyer" HK$ doesn't seem to be very bright. Drugs, shady real estate deals, not knowing that someone with a fever of 105 needs an ambu,ance and not him stepping out to make a boat deal. As a "lawyer" he is downright dumb...I shudder to think what he would bungle as a make-believe daddy.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe because they know Howard's gay and hasn't done a woman in his life. Therefore, Howard CANNOT be the father.

Just a thought.

41. Personal assistant of Anna Nicole Smith reveals shocking details
BY: Actress Archives | Wednesday, February 28, 2007

The personal assistant of Anna Nicole Smith, Nathan Collins, has given an interview to the National Enquirer about what the TrimSpa model and Playboy Playmate's life was like before her death on February 8th at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. As you might imagine, the details are shocking or as shocking as anything can be in the increasingly more over-the-top story of Anna Nicole Smith. According to Nathan Collins, Anna Nicole Smith enjoyed sex with both genders, hired prostitutes for her son Daniel (who died last September just days after his mom gave birth to his sister Dannielynn), and was definitely hooked on drugs.


The interview about Anna Nicole Smith through the eyes of her personal assistant will be published in the new issue of the National Enquirer. Nathan Collins is claiming that he frequently saw Howard K. Stern, the lawyer and alleged lover of Anna Nicole Smith, inject the former reality TV star with Phenegram, an anti-nausea medication. According to Canada.com, Collins also claims that Stern kept Smith well stocked with a variety of prescription drugs like Xanax, Vicodin, and methadone. Considering the fact that a combination of drugs led to the death of Daniel Smith, that has been the number one suspect in a cause for Anna Nicole Smith's death since her passing three weeks ago.


Collins tells the National Enquirer that he once fought with Howard K. Stern over the dosage that the attorney was administering to Anna Nicole Smith, saying that when Anna asked that her Lexapro, an anti-depressant, dosage be doubled, red flags were raised in the assistant's mind and he fought with Stern. "He knew it could be harmful or fatal but backed off because Anna was in charge. What Anna wanted, Anna got. Everyone wanted to appease Anna."


The assistant to Anna Nicole Smith calls Howard K. Stern "an enabler" and that he obtained multiple prescriptions under her legal name - Vickie Lynn Marshall - and even used other aliases to get the woman more drugs. Collins even claims that the staff knew that if there was an overdose they weren't allowed to call 911 and were instructed just to drive Anna Nicole Smith to the closest hospital and that "Her medications were to be hidden."


Nathan Collins also told the paper that Anna Nicole Smith was once so strung out on drugs that she had a hallucination involving rats under he bed - "It was very sad to watch."


Collins believes that Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern were close at one point but that they were no longer sleeping together long before the Playmate got pregnant - "I believe Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna's baby. She's a very sexual person. She had a lot of wild encounters."


Finally, Collins claims that Anna Nicole Smith hired two escorts for her virgin son Daniel because she started to question his sexuality but that "Daniel never went through with it."


In other new Anna Nicole Smith news, the estranged mother of Anna Nicole finally got to see her granddaughter last night just 48 hours after Larry Birkhead, the alleged father of Dannielynn was allowed his first visit. WENN reports that Virgie Arthur was allowed a 50-minute visit with Dannielynn and that the supervised meeting took place at the Bahamas mansion where the girl is staying with Howard K. Stern. TMZ even had an exclusive photo of Virgie Arthur leaving the estate after the visit and looking distraught.


It's interesting that Howard K. Stern allowed Virgie Arthur to see Dannielynn considering how vicious the fight between the two for the body of Anna Nicole Smith has been and both parties have said some nasty things about each other. In fact, hours before Arthur met with Anna Nicole Smith's daughter. Howard K. Stern filed papers that say that Arthur's refusal to allow her daughter's body to come back to the Bahamas shows "a blatant disregard and dishonor of Anna Nicole's ultimate, final, personal wish."


This morning, attorneys for Virgie Arthur and Howard K. Stern will appear in a Florida court to address Arthur's appeal of the ruling that will send Anna Nicole Smith to be buried in the Bahamas under the care of Dannielynn's court-appointed guardian, Richard Milstein. Anna Nicole Smith's body is still above ground, almost three weeks after her death, as every aspect of the woman's life - her child, home, and body - stays held up in legal debates. The first situation to get resolved - where and when Anna Nicole Smith will be buried - could happen as early as today.

43. Anna Nicole Smith died of a lethal level of a potent sleep medication, but she had a raging blood infection that could have killed her had she not overdosed, an exclusive report revealed yesterday.

Smith took the speedy sleep-inducer chloral hydrate, which is sometimes used in "date rape" drugs, the night of Feb. 7 and never woke up, according to a joint investigation by sister publications the National Enquirer and the Star.

In its most stunning disclosure, the report says Smith's life might have been saved had she simply gone to a hospital rather than treating her severe fever, nausea and other infection symptoms on her own.

Smith's lawyer pal Howard K. Stern, a bodyguard and a nurse were with her in the days and hours leading up to her death.

The magazines' report comes days before Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper is set to reveal his official findings about what killed the 39-year-old ex-model, who died Feb. 8 at a Florida hotel.

Smith's infection, which drove her temperature to a staggering 105 degrees, was caused by an injection in her left buttock with a needle that apparently was not properly sterilized, according to the report, posted on the Enquirer and Star Web sites.

Tests did not reveal what substance had been injected into Smith three days before she died, but a painful abscess developed, the report said.

44. took care of a prescription drug addict?

He ENABLED a prescription drug addict. He is a lawyer...a student of the law, and he AIDED ANS's addictions. He fed them. He was there...by her side...everyday...making sure anna got what Anna wanted. The reason she left Larry was the same reason most drug addicts leave sober family members in favor of the family or friends that allow, or help them stay high. Because its easier then kicking the habit. HK$, doesn't deserve to be a lawyer, much less a guardian to a baby, helpless to his lousy decision making. ANS was a terrible mother, HK$ a terrible guardian...when that child is finally rescued it won't be a moment too soon.

45. WORLD EXCLUSIVE: ANNA NICOLE SMITH DIED WITH TOXIC LEVEL OF SLEEPING MEDICATION IN HER SYSTEM
Anna Nicole Smith died with a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate in her system.

In a joint newsgathering operation, the National ENQUIRER and Star magazine have solved the mystery of the former Playboy model's death and provide a detailed portrait of her final days.

The world exclusive details come days before Broward County, Fla., Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper will hold a press conference to announce the former Playboy Playmate's cause of death.

The ENQUIRER and Star have also learned that Anna Nicole had a raging blood infection. The infection was caused by an unsterilized needle and contributed to her death.

The infection was so serious, it would have killed her if she had not overdosed.

Contrary to speculation, tests show Anna Nicole did not have methadone or any other painkilling drug in her system at the time of her death.

The ENQUIRER learned that just before she left the Bahamas for Florida on February 5, three days before she died, Anna Nicole received an injection in her left buttock.

Tests did not reveal what that substance was.

"As she boarded the plane for Miami, Anna Nicole developed a painful abscess at the site of the injection," said a source with knowledge of the case. "The needle wasn't sterile. The pain kept getting worse as the abscess got larger and larger very quickly."

From Miami, Anna Nicole and her live-in lawyer Howard K. Stern traveled to Hollywood, Fla. The pain from the abscess became excruciating and Anna Nicole developed a high fever.

By the time she got to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino her fever was 105.

Anna Nicole, unaware that her blood was being poisoned by infection, had also developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus, which causes intestinal problems.

It was at this point that Anna Nicole — and her entourage — made a fatal mistake. She refused to go to a hospital, a decision that would have saved her life.

Instead, Anna's people gave her an ice bath to control the fever, administered the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by mouth and gave her an over-the-counter flu medicine.

As the needle-caused infection took over her body, she began vomiting, had severe diarrhea and could not urinate.

On February 6, a Tuesday, Anna spent the whole day in bed. She could not keep fluids down. She was becoming severely dehydrated.

On Wednesday, February 7, Anna seemed somewhat better, but she wasn't, the source said.

"She was still vomiting and suffering diarrhea," said the source. "Again, she spent the whole day in bed, as the abscess continued to grow. She was in such pain, she just wanted to sleep."

And that's when the final fatal mistake was made. Sometime overnight on February 7, Anna ingested the sleeping medication chloral hydrate. The drug is extremely potent. The dose was too much — and in fact it was a toxic level, the ENQUIRER and Star have learned exclusively. On Thursday, February 8, Anna never woke up.

A nurse found her unresponsive at about 1:30 p.m.

At 2:49 p.m., Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead.

Preliminary analysis indicated the cause of death was systemic sepsis syndrome, a lethal blood infection. It was caused by the abscess of the left buttock. Further investigation revealed the fatal level of chloral hydrate.

Chloral hydrate can cause depression of respiration, especially in a person who is already sick because of an infection and dehydration and it can cause death within a relatively short period of time.

Anna Nicole also had scarring from numerous injections she got in the buttocks.
