49. Yes, they do just keep coming and coming. Interesting little fact , pay in full for services or material goods, no creditors to drain an estate.

53. JJ, I agree...she's much prettier when she isn't looking angry. This same picture was when she was shown kissing Daniel on the cheek at some function with that sparkly dress; she looked much better there.

54. iam sure howard k stern wont let that happen that money is all his..........................................

55. 39.

howard means to drain every single red cent that anna and daniel owned. he's gonna make sure that there isnt a cent left because he fears Virgie will go after him and he'll have to turn it over.
he removed himself from Trope just make it appear as if there was no conflict of interest. I sincerely hope the California Bar is paying attention to all of this.

How can we make sure the California Bar does have this information. We can't assume. I hope there's no corruption there via HK$, Rale, the TrimSpa guy, etc. .........

56. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14782573/ I think this is the picture I was referring to earlier. I hope it works!

57.

The least Anna Nicole could have done would have been to stay buffed out & also to stay alive at all costs for her kid's sake!


Except M.D's & their love of Big Pharma payouts - they will prescribe toxin if they can make a profit!

58. Someone posted earlier today that "Only Swims in the Ocean" was straced to HK$. I'm sceptical. Anyone else have news about this?

59. Think about it folks TMZ never puts anything on that puts Howard in a bad light, so Howard must be getting a piece of the money. notice how happy Lary look at the playboy party, him and Howard must be coming up with all sorts of ways to drain Anna's accounts before any one else does.
