Anna's Lawyers Want Estate to Pay Up

A powerhouse law firm that also represents Britney Spears is seeking nearly $163,000 from Anna Nicole Smith's estate for legal services.
Read the lawsuit
In court documents obtained by TMZ, the firm of Trope and Trope says they provided services to the former Playmate beginning in October of 2006 -- to the tune of $281,000, and only $118,000 has been paid.

A copy of the document has also been sent to the executor of Anna's will, Howard K. Stern.

166. I understood that all of hks' bills were to be paid from Anna's estate---something to do with the partnership between anna and hks. Which means of course, that Dannielynn is paying the legal bills of the one who caused her Mother's death.

167. Observer says, "I'll be praying for you".

I'll also pray that you get forgiveness for stripping all those years in bars for men to gaze upon & lust over your sinful body.

169. To "A Mother"- while you are praying why not pray for forgiveness for slamming me for something you know nothing about. I did what I did, I am not ashamed, and all past sins I am guilty of were washed away when I became a Christian. Were I ashamed of the mistakes I made then I could not profess to being a Christian. I made them, I was forgiven, enough said.
You and other want to continually slam me and degrade me when you don't even know the origin of the conversations. Get a grip on reality. If you are perfect in all that you do or have done then please let me know when your next show will be, I would like to see someone else walk on water. There was only one perfect person and he was crucified for his beliefs, I guess it still happens today.

170. Observer says, "were I ashamed of the mistakes I made then I could not profess to being a christian." "I made them, I was forgiven, enough said."

So you think God will forgive you for your mistakes but not Virgie? You come on here & trash Virgie but think that's ok because God has forgiven you for your mistakes. If God can forgive you for your mistakes, then he will also forgive Virgie because she is a christian.

Practice what you preach.

171. I have been getting so mixed up and it is because I am starting to believe that Howard might be guilty. I myself am a woman from the Bahamas and feel that Anna might have been taken advantage of. I will keep reading your posts and if I do change my mind I will tell you

172. 157. WE ALL KNOW ART HARRIS HAS BEEN A PAID P.R BY HOWARD STERN'S LAWYERS FOR A LONG TIME..

Art Harris BALD TRUTH are all BALD LIES LIKES HIS FREAKING HEAD IS!. I left several posts at his site reminding people that no matter what Stern is a criminal, double murder, evidence by his evil actions, clown video, his purchase of durgs, drug pusher and many more criminal actions of him..

Well, those posts sat there pending for approval and then ERASE THEM, the only posts he approves are the ones who glorify and defends MURDERER STERN.

Art Harris site is a joke!, Harris himself is probably a wife and children beater and a criminal himself. ONE CRIMINAL COVERING OTHER CRIMINAL MURDERER

Posted at 10:37AM on Nov 11th 2007 by FACT: Art Harris has been STERN'S paid P.R. for a long time......

________________________________________________________________

I am not a Stern lover. I am a supporter of Virgie's right to spend quality time with her grandchild. I don't know what to think of Larry but my instinct is not to trust him or his motives. Art has only deleted one of my posts, early on. He edited one that contained a personal note to him, which was fine with me.

I also do not believe Art is paid by Stern but has taken a stand, for whatever reason, in support of Stern. I have told him that he is too close to this story and needs to be careful about being conned. I don't know why he has such a personal hatred (yes, hatred) for Virgie Arthur. Perhaps she reminds him of someone he had a bad experience around. Perhaps he just hates the common folk of the midwest. Only he can know why he hates Virgie so much and has no empathy toward her.

Art's site is heavily biased and he does have a pipeline to things that benefit Stern and disparage Virgie, O'Quinn, Rita, and Debra. Although I have noticed a couple of unbiased reports on his site, usually the story is written with a bias. He also let's his opinion be known in the blog responses.

If you wish to make it past moderation, you need to tone down your comments, IMO. Stop yelling (caps), calling Stern names, or making claims he has already been found guilty of something. Bottom line is it is Art's website and he can delete whomever he wants. It is clear that it is home to many Stern supporters. If you have a well thought-out argument and leave out inflamatory statements, you will probably be posted.

You would help more in the fight for justice for Daniel (and Anna) by remembering your posts reflect on all those who have a poor opinion of Stern. Take the high road with your comments and leave the bottom dwelling to the Sternies.

173. Get some perspective
How in the hell would you know if I walked in the same shoes or not,so until you do shut-up I might be self rightious by your standard but in my world when you need money you work you don't spunge off of other people, get 2 jobs if you have to. As for the part about virgie and splash news Duh no kidding they could find their own way to Daniel'd grave who in the hell said they couldn't, I said Virgie got caught lying in court about whether she received money from them or not for that picture, say what you want it is wrong for a grandmother to take media to her grandson's grave and get paid for it, so until you can read the comments properly quit beaking off or go back to school and learn how to read or better yet get some perspective I don't think you even know what that means by you silly comment about things I never said lol

175. Wonder?? what Stern did with the $1,000.000 !million dollars he got paid for selling Anna's funeral??

This creep did all the evil things and he is still free.

Grandma Vergie has been treated very unfairly ! A GRIEVING MOTHER WITH A TWICE BROKEN HEART and yet, humillated and laughed at the funeral by the man who killed Anna and Daniel- Stern and his family are evil!!

Posted at 8:56PM on Nov 16th 2007 by Grandma, keep fighting, YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!

176. Yeah, Howards flowers may have dried up and her tacky plastic ones could be still there but I still say that if a magazine is going to fly you there and pay all of your bills the very least you could do is use some of your reported $3000.00 per month retirement money to buy some decent plastic flowers.

Sorry, just my opinion.

_________________________________________________________Yeah
Howard left expensive genuine flowers-- the least he could do Observer
after he killed them, kidnapped the kid,, lied about the DNA ,and then embezzled every cent of her
money-- but yes he left real flowers

And Virgie who worked for 28 years straight and is now retired on a fixed
income left artificial flowers--Come on Observer

If I were to have come on here and trashed Virgie then I would have telling lies. Everything I have said about her comes directly from her own interviews. As I have said a million times my comments are opinions only.

Yes, God would forgive her if she asked for forgiveness. Several times she has blamed Howard for her estrangement with her daughter, she has really taken no blame. It was the drugs, Anna got mad at her because she called to talk to Daniel (when he was younger) about going to a Ninja Turtle Movie. I said I thought she was a bad mother based on what she herself said. Not what others have said. Even though I am a Christian I can still have an opinion.
I will make it easy for you. Howard lied, Larry lied, Moe lied, so on and so on and so on. So did Virgie, several times and on several news stations. Does that make her worse than anyone else? No, it doesn't. Does it mean I have to have a high opinion of her as a Mother just because I am a Christian, no, it doesn't. She also lied about the flowers. She said no one had been there, she was the only one who had left flowers. Splash chose to print that and to avoid taking pictures of the flowers.

Jewishgirl, no disrespect but my comment about Virgie is no different than what you accuse Howard of. You have no proof that he did any of those things, just rumor and speculation.

Splash Magazine paid for Virgie to fly to the Bahamas, they have financed about everything she has done concerning her fight over Anna (trips) her lawyer has financed everything else. She stated in court that she makes $3,000.00 per month with her pension, she did not add what her husband brings in. Without adding my husbands income I make less than that but I do place flowers on my Grandmothers and Mothers grave for every birthday and Christmas. I have a local florist deliver them as they are buried in two differnt states and I live in another.

The comment was posted based on something Mrs. Marple said about flowers being fake, she implied that the flowers that Howard left were fake, and this rolled out of control. I am sorry if that offended you, but this comment keeps coming back to bite me when all I did was point out (to begin with) that it wasn't Howards flowers that were plastic- Virgies were. Then I smarted off to the person who that comment was meant to after his comment said that the real flowers dried up and the plastic were still there and that there isn't a cemetery out there that has real flowers. So, again, I am sorry if this bothered you.

Posted at 12:08AM on Nov 12th 2007 by Observer

179. I'm not exactly sure who would be responsible for these bills but my initial thought would be that Howard would be left with them. If that is the case he is going to be in a great deal of trouble unless he can negotiate by citing his probable future victory or settlement in his action against Rita Cosby. Because by all of his accounts he's almost totally broke, and if I were him I wouldn't be looking for any money to come from his and Larry's effort to claim any portion of the Marshall estate.
