Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

17116. “The unfortunate passing of Smith caused a stir in the media over the potential inheritance from her marriage, but the fact remains that the Marshall estate was left to E. Pierce Marshall,” says Jeff Chambers, defense attorney for E. Pierce Marshall. “Wild accusations of tampering and tearful outbursts in the courtroom did not sway the jury to ignore the facts of the case, and Smith’s untimely passing does nothing to change the Houston ruling.”
There will be NO money extorted from the Marshalls

17117. Mrs Marple,

You and I grew up in a different age & time. Our heros were Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Mickey Mantle. today;s kids have Lindsey, Brittanyand an idiot who supports dog wrestling. We have a former president who is admired ater he committed adultry. Our world has changed and morals are dead in America. I pity our grandchildren having to grow up in it.

17191. Trainwreck,

I am so disappointed about the birthday party going to OK mag & Access Hollywood. Why did they cut out ET, Larry King and Gretta? Oh, Boo Hoo! LOL

*************************************************************************************************
Well, well, that all makes perfect sense!!!! We know Larry's preferred media outlets are OK Magazine & Access Hollywood, and there's no love lost between Larry Birkhead & Entertainment Tonight.

Think back to ET's last coverage of Dannielynn & Larry, that was acknowleged by ET that it was"home video". ET broadcast the "home video" & it was old footage.

Could it be: "This footage is worth money $$$$$" & his handy work at filming? Thought at the time that someone else was selling that "old footage" to Entertainment Tonight.

I wonder WHO's HANDY WORK THAT COULD BE??????

17120. Good morning, Justice Denied and everyone. Thanks for explaining about the video clip you watched; I understand and it could happen easily since there seem to be so many. I am glad you found the "Enya" one and the frame that was being referred to.

I too would love to see a picture of their eyes side by side for comparison . Wouldn't it be great if Nancy Grace or Greta could bring this up and consult with a sketch artist from the court or a police department?

It is also a shame there doesn't seem to be a similar video clip of Daniel's funeral and I agree with the reasons given for why there is not.

17121. Obsession is a killer does not believe in evil but does believe some of us "are under a spell." Since Obsession believes in spells, does that mean he/she is a witch?

Perhaps we should use another choice of words. Obsession, do you believe in right and wrong, good and bad, law and order? Justice and Injustice, truth and lies? Some of us whom you say are under a spell might have an obsession that justice be done or a compulsion - whichever word you use. Some of us cannot believe the lengths Howard has gone to and the way he has manipulated various events and sold them to the very media he claims Anna was trying to avoid by moving to the Bahamas. Some of us cannot believe the "Jekyll and Hyde" personality of Larry Birkhead.

Our disbelief simply grows more incredulous with the long delays and continued acting out by Howard and Larry - the regatta being the most recent and Dannielynn's birthday party that is being planned.

Still seems pathetic to me to travel to a beach house and spend all your time on this blog. Why brag about the 2nd house when all you see is a computer screen.

If you're bragging about money, I'm sure you are not the wealthiest; the most boring, perhaps....

17123. Always touching my ass-my husband actually saved my life when I was choking -but Howard could not jump in himself when she was drowning tell that loving crap to someone might believe it-here is 50c call someone in the Stern camp-cause we sure as heck aint buying it! Only thing Howard Loves is Benjamin and new pair of shoes!

17125. 17169. Mrs. Marple, ignore the ignorant, insane person who insulted you and your grandchildren.


I wrote several suitable comments to her that were blocked. We ignore loathsome comments by the mindless, and forge ahead.



Posted at 12:49PM on Aug 15th 2007 by Nemesis

Doesn't look like you did a great job ignoring that comment because you pointed it out and you also addressed that person as a she there are males posting here, so how would you know unless you are the one who really wrote that shame on you. Nice try on the claim of suitable comments being blocked yeah right.

"If ever there was proof that the media was biased" - just watch ET and read Art Harris!!!!!!!!!!!

ET and Harris credible - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am shocked at the things that are acceptable today. We have an obligation to teach our children and never give up. I would imagine that morality is still there it is just people have a tendency not to speak up. I believe the day will come when we will be faced with trials and maybe the nation and hopefully the world will turn back to a more moral and civil society.

What is going on with movie stars, and politicians, and wrestlers is just pitiful. It is time for the people that are breaking laws have to pay the consequences. It is not OK to sell drugs to movie stars, it is not OK to drive drunk, it is not OK to victimize animals. It is not OK for our society to ignore laws. If there is a law in the books it should be enforced! Our Society will break down into a million little pieces if we do not get back to basics. If the law is unacceptable we need to change it. How can we expect our children to obey laws, when the former President said, "He didn't inhale?"

Some many people that get rich quick seem to develop an ego and feel that they can do anything and get by with it. They start out with a poor self image and then they develop an unrealistic self image. They become sold on their own hype. I believe that is part of what is wrong with Howard K. Stern; his ego has got the best of him.

If justice is not served in this horrible tragedy we all will loose. It will be one more piece of dignity that our society looses!

This is a lot like if a stranger is being attacked on the street corner. We can not just pass by and not help. Vergie needs our help! She needs us to demand justice! The truth is out there and it needs to be told in a court of law. It is our responsibility to stand up as a whole and demand JUSTICE!

17128. Nemesis:

Thank you so much for the support. Ignoring the blithering blather of the Simple-Simon-Sternoids is oh so very easy to do! To tell you the truth I am so honored to be trashed by the Sternoids! I would be insulted if they did not. It tells me that I am getting my point across to them. It is not easy to try to talk some sense into them but I figure if we all work together eventually they might get it. Probably, Stern will be off to the Bahamian Barred Barracks by then. And then guess what, they will all disappear into the deep dark recesses of the bits and bites of cyberspace never to be heard of again.

Oh how we shall miss them!



17169. Mrs. Marple, ignore the ignorant, insane person who insulted you and your grandchildren. The person who wrote that should be committed to an asylum. She should know that someone of your intelligence and social standing would not even greet someone like her on the street, much less have her in your home. She is a classic example of the people who support Howard K. Stern.

Nobody would lend credence to anything a creepy, sick person like that Stern supporter ever said, and she was way out of line with her comments. Her problem is that she does not understand decent and respectable people. She only knows trash, and it is those people who are like her that she bases her conversation on. I wrote several suitable comments to her that were blocked. We ignore loathsome comments by the mindless, and forge ahead.
