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.

If your going to be a pretentious jerk, you should be a bit more careful when using
popular foreign expressions
It is faux pas
I know it's hard to pretend to be witty and intelligent when your an ignorant fool, but
a dictionary is a must have for all pretenders.

Thanks.

20796. Sorry-Southerner but they are using money not rightly theirs and most of the people adults and look at the group.So I understand older Southern Gatherings but Dolly Parton is her favorite singer for a 1 year old.Larry and Howard are exploiting this child so no offense as I see Stern group Alcohol and drugs -coming up with names which makes us suspicious.My apologies.

Einstein -I was getting used to being a Biotch -told my husband was one of those beautiful Norwegian ladies! It is unbelievable the excuse for Wood using Murder. Lawyers do not of his caliber make mistakes like that. He knew what he said!

20798. "This was a complex case," Perper said. "It was an unusual case from a medical point of view."

Perper said after the appeals court ruling that he was not sure if Smith's body would be suitable for a viewing. He had told Seidlin during the hearing that she was decomposing, even though she had already been embalmed.

UNUSUAL case from a MEDICAL point of view.

Decomposing, even though she had already been embalmed.

20799. THE BIG STORY WITH JOHN GIBSON - TRIMSPA CEO: 'HEARTBREAK' KILLED ANNA NICOLE’ 02/14/07

GIBSON: Yes, but Alex, come on. She died of an overdose. You look at her refrigerator, it's loaded up with Methadone and other drugs. I mean, she clearly — something killed her. It was not an accident. She died of a — she was not leading a very healthy life. Now, you have your friend, Howard K. Stern, saying I have — I have the best interest of the baby at heart. I should be keeping care of the baby. All of that stuff was allegedly going on while he was supervising the house.
GOEN: Well, you said she died of an overdose. I have not heard that she died of an overdose. Is that conclusive? I mean, I heard that there was no pills found in her stomach. I haven't heard anything about that.
GIBSON: The drugs in her refrigerator were liquids.
GOEN: Well, just because drugs were in her refrigerator, does it mean that they were there, or does it mean someone could have planted them there?
GIBSON: You think she did not die of a combination of drug overdose?
GOEN: What I think, I think she died of a heart break. I really do. Now, of course, you can't really die of a heart break.
GIBSON: Died of a heart break?
GOEN: You can't die of a broken heart. She lost her son four or five months earlier. You know, when the first few months that she lost her son, she was crying herself to sleep every single day.
GIBSON: Then why did the people watching over her let her have liquid methadone in her refrigerator?
GOEN: I don't know if they did or they didn't. I never saw it. I never saw Anna take any kind of drug.
GIBSON: Look at the refrigerator, Alex. This is the — Howard is saying, Howard K. Stern is saying, I should have this baby.
GOEN: Right.
GIBSON: This was all going on, unless he can prove otherwise, in the house — there's the refrigerator. In the house that he was overseeing for her.
GOEN: I saw the refrigerator. I've been in her house. I saw her refrigerator. She never had that in her refrigerator. So, I mean, was that in her refrigerator? I don't think anyone knows for sure. Absolutely, no one knows for sure. I believe someone went out there, and placed those items in the refrigerator, because it gets great press. It's going to make big money.
GIBSON: You think they were planted?
GOEN: I do.
GIBSON: You don't think drugs had anything to do with her death?
GOEN: You know, as far illegal drugs, I definitely don't think so.
GIBSON: Prescription drugs?
GOEN: As far as prescription drugs? I really don't know. I can't tell for sure.

20800. It does not take much as look at Kerry mouth got him,look at Imus and list goes on .Not what you say but how you say it-you lie or slander going to get nailed eventually. I hope Spector eventually gets over . California no eye witness any bets! Marines wife got convicted getting new trial.So go figure one thing is for sure as I know several police officers my Neighbor State Patrol-they catch Judges and to soft Parole boards turn them loose-biggest reason -overcrowding.I do not understand that lot of Islands in the world ,lots of desert.Seems like ideal places to me!

Hello Faye,
Yes, must be another one of those foreign expressions that the Sternoid Techno-Cowards like to throw around.
According to the "Howard is a Hero Cult" - that was a simple typo by an overworked
stenographer.
"It" does not think well under pressure!

20802. TRIMSPA CEO: 'HEARTBREAK' KILLED ANNA NICOLE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2007
THIS IS A PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF "THE BIG STORY WITH JOHN GIBSON,"
FEBRUARY 14, 2007

JOHN GIBSON, HOST: . . CEO Alex Goen; he was a close friend of his company's former spokeswoman, Anna Nicole Smith. And has spoken to Mr. Howard K. Stern — only today?
ALEX GOEN, CEO, TRIMSPA: Yes.
GIBSON: What does he got to report today?
GOEN: Well, I mean, or conversations are rather confidential, but I guess he's very frustrated about all of the different stories that are outside, in the media.
GIBSON: Let me put up on screen, something for you to read, Alex. Anna Nicole's last days, these are from affidavits that have been filed. We don't know exactly, but we think it is in Larry Birkhead's case. She ordered these drugs, including Demerol while she was eight months pregnant. She ordered that nanny to under feed the baby, so the baby would be "sexy".
And she was having a sexual relationship everyday with that Bahamas immigration official, named Sean Gibson.
Now, this is coming to us from TMZ,com. And they obtained these affidavits, which have come evidently as a part of some lawsuit. What do you think that Howard K. Stern would say about these allegations today?
GOEN: I think he'd say they were ridiculous. . . As far as the relationship, I believe there was one relationship going on and that was with Howard K. Stern.
GIBSON: But Alex, these are medical records that show her ordering Demerol in her eight month of pregnancy. The order was fulfilled, the drugs were sent to her. We've seen the pictures. I mean, you've seen the pictures inside the refrigerator. Methadone, Demerol, and some diet drink — that wasn't yours, by the way.
GOEN: Right I saw the picture. And understand the picture was authenticated. I ask, what the heck does that mean? No one can tell me — any government agency that authenticates these pictures. You have to look at these pictures and wonder why all the pictures are kind of pointed a certain way — or the labels are pointed so they can all can show that to the camera. I mean, it's just a little, certainly of a concern.
As far as the other point that you made, Anna’s use of prescription drugs. I mean, that is a personal thing between your doctor and Anna Nicole. I do not know why she took those prescription drugs. But if the doctor suggested it, the doctor said she needed them, then she needed them.
GIBSON: In her eighth month of pregnancy?
GOEN: I have no idea. That's something I can't comment on.

20803. Einstein-One thing is for sure not water pressure as Dr.E and others look dirty especially Kimmie as my mop looks better than she does. All one has to do is copy the spelling and she can not do that Bonnie is bad but the horrible grammar I believe is Kimmie! Someone won the mega jackpot-was not me bummers!

20804. In my opinion, this is why Virgie Arthur had to literally bury her daughter. IF seidlin didn't trust these characters, why should Virgie Arthur trust them. Keep the faith, Virgie and keep going.....one legal step at a time.

Perper said Seidlin had asked him to accompany the body to the Bahamas to ensure the burial is carried out properly. Perper said he would comply.

To ensure the burial is carried out "properly".

20805. Faye, I think I'm checking/watching a different video than what you describe. I have been on YouTube "Anna Nicole's last moments." Is this the one where you see the red print? Let me know which one it is. Thanks.
