Anna Nicole Smith was so whacked out of her mind in 2006 that she mistook the baby growing in her womb for a case of bad gas -- and it's all on a tape that was entered as evidence in court on Friday.
The video was shot by Howard K. Stern at a little girl's birthday party. Snippets of the video were released two years ago, but now the entire 50-minute tape is being used in the drug case against Stern and Anna's former doctors.
In this particular clip, Smith can't seem to comprehend the fact that she's pregnant -- consistently denying there's a baby in her belly ... despite the fact she's showing.
It just gets weirder from there -- check it out for yourself. Then sadly, at the end of the clip, the little girl looks straight into the camera and says, "She's having brain trouble."

Larry Birkhead is on the stand in the preliminary hearing involving Anna Nicole Smith and the defendants who allegedly fueled her drug habit.
Birkhead just testified between August 2004 and May 2006, he saw Anna take the following drugs regularly: Topamax, Lasix, Klonopin, Valium, Xanax, Potassium and Methadone.
He has not talked about whether Howard K. Stern or the two other defendants -- Sandeep Kapoor and Kristine Eroshevich -- helped facilitate Anna's drug use, but he did identify Dr. Kapoor as Smith's regular physician at the time.
UPDATE 3:20 PM ET -- Birkhead testified he saw Anna's prescription bottles with several different names on them: Anna Nicole Smith, Michelle Chase, Vicki Marshall and Jane Brown. Larry also said the whole time he knew Anna he was concerned that she would take her meds inappropriately.
UPDATE 5:50 PM ET -- Birkhead testified he never saw anyone force Anna to take medication. He said he saw Anna with a duffel bag full of meds. Birkhead said he saw Stern give the bag to Anna Nicole, but didn't see him administer any drugs.

"Big Moe" -- Anna Nicole Smith's bodyguard -- just testified in the prelim that he saw Howard K. Stern liquefying a powerful drug in Anna Nicole Smith's bathroom.
Moe says he walked into Anna's bathroom in the Bahamas in October, 2006. Moe testified he asked Howard what he was doing, and Howard responded that he had just had a conversation with Anna and they decided cooking the Valium and then injecting it in her would work faster than taking a pill.
Moe says he then watched Howard load the syringe with liquid Valium but left before Stern allegedly injected her.

One of Anna Nicole Smith's bodyguards -- the one who tried reviving her the day she died -- told the judge in the preliminary hearing Anna was high on Ecstasy just before her bizarre appearance on the 2004 AMA awards.
"Big Moe" was referring to the video that was played in court yesterday. Howard K. Stern's lawyer tried explaining yesterday Anna actually had been suffering from seizures and that when she looked drunk and whacked out she was really reacting to anti-seizure meds.
But "Big Moe" testified at least on this occasion it was Ecstasy and Cristal that made her loopy.

The first witness in the preliminary hearing over Anna Nicole Smith's prescription drug death testified authorities found a baby bottle of Pedialyte on her bed, along with a bottle of Cipro.
Pedialyte is used to rehydrate children when they experience diarrhea and vomiting. Anna had been battling the flu.
Cipro is an antibiotic used to treat infections.
Anna was found unresponsive in her hotel room on February 8, 2007 at the Hard Rock in Seminole, Florida. Her cause of death was a sleeping med along with 8 other prescription drugs.
Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, and Khristine Eroshevich are charged with fueling a drug addict's habit.
The baby bottle evidence could be important because prosecutors are trying to show Anna Nicole was so incapacitated from drugs she could barely function.

Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn and baby daddy Larry Birkhead got into the Halloween spirit this weekend -- and hit up the pumpkin patch for some face painting and pumpkin picking.
With the drug case against Howard K. Stern and Anna's docs heading to court this week, it's good to see these two can still carve out time together as a normal family.

We just spoke with the guy who triggered the murder-for-hire investigation into Anna Nicole Smith -- and he says she repeatedly asked him to kill the son of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall II.
Mark "Hollywood" Hatten, Anna's ex-BF, says a drug-addled Smith was continually "begging with me to kill E. Pierce Marshall" claiming after her husband died, Pierce was "standing in the way of her money."
Hatten says he told Pierce's lawyer about the alleged plot. Mark claims he was then interviewed by the FBI twice about the matter while he was in jail for an unrelated crime.
TMZ sources confirm that when Anna and Howard K. Stern met with the FBI, an agent told them Hatten was the one who made the claim. We're also told the agent didn't believe Hatten's story.
Ultimately, the FBI determined there was "insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot."

Of the two things that are certain, apparently taxes outlive life itself, because Anna Nicole Smith still owes the State of California.
The State Franchise Tax Board has filed a creditor's claim in her probate case for $43,280.66 for back taxes from her 2007 tax return. Of that amount, $35,424 is the delinquent tax, $4,837.12 is the penalty and interest totals $3,019.54.
And how's this? The Franchise Tax Board served Howard K. Stern.
