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.

17176. 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.

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??????

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....

17181. 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!

17182. 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.

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 should be ashamed of themselves and Art Harris is just a paid ET reporter.

ET and Harris credible - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I am laughing so hard!

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!

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you


If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing


Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Thanks for the advice. I have been in a quandary as to the proper way to respond to posters. Should I copy the whole article, just parts of an article, or not any of the article. Should I put the article that I am responding to first before my response or after. Should I add dashed lines?


I am afraid that I need to be schooled in the etiquette and proper way to post blogs. Please be patient with me, you can still teach an old dog new tricks!

Mrs. Marple when you copy and respond to other posters , no one knows which words are yours and the other poster. Go back and look.

Posted at 1:10PM on Aug 15th 2007 by ------------------------- use it

I did post the link today, maybe it got removed. I tried to reconfirm my post and now it won't go through.

If you go to questionablebehavior and enter the site, scroll to the bottom to This Week's Posts. You'll see the icebath$ entry. She says toward the bottom of the article that Taz's version puts Dr. E there, but she isn't mentioned in the report. (?)

Posted at 2:58PM on Aug 15th 2007 by Where is the Justice?

17190. do you think it is strange that other patients heard Anns scraming ans crying from about 9:00am til 1:00pm. The offical report said the call for help was at 9:38. Why didn't nurses respond if there was so much noise? Or again, what was the delay in calling nurses?
