Inquest Into Death of Anna Nicole's Son

211. You said it Owl, this paternity test is JUST a JOKE to Anna...what isn't?
Debra Opri must have prepared LB for Anna's "DODGES to AVOID abiding by the LAW", I'm sure he's frustrated...who wouldn't be? But "KNOWING" Anna as well as he does, he had to expect that she would avoid the paternity test.
"When you don't know a horse, look at their track record"...Anna's track record speaks for itself!

Anna Nicole Smith was peddling exclusive pics of her baby daughter to the tabs and has used the cash to buy a house in the Bahamas, according to a source.

"After she sold footage and photos of the birth to a TV show, she started seeing that child as a cash cow.

Howard K. Stern {Smith's lawyer and the man whom she claims is the father of the baby} takes the pictures and they sell them to the highest bidder", says the insider quoted by the Associated Press.

The Bahamas home could help Smith maintain residency there, since she's allegedly being booted from her present house in the island nation, where she's been living, some say to avoid paternity testing.

The circumstances has Larry Birkhead, the photographer who says that he, not Stern, is the baby's father - "outraged" and "disgusted."

"I'm outraged that they're trying to pimp my daughter. If Anna wants to sell pictures of herself, that's one thing, but to conveniently put my daughter in every single photo to up the ante is sick and disgusting. And what's even more disgusting is that someone would buy them because they are financially assisting someone who's stockpiling money in an attempt to keep my child from me", Birkhead tell The Scoop.

212. Today is Larry Birkhead’s and Daniel’s birthday.

I know there are thousands of people sending good thoughts to both of them today.

Larry – hang in there. It may seem like ANS is winning the battle – but it’s not over yet. I am so sorry for you that she is putting you through all of this, and denying you contact with your baby. She is evil and cold hearted, and the public has seen her for who she really is.

Debra Opri knows what to do in the next step in this battle to get the DNA test done.

As Wise Old Owl said, the California judge DID already rule that his court DOES have jurisdiction over ANS, and there IS a legitimate court ORDER to have the DNA test done. If/when ANS fails to comply with this ORDER, then steps will be taken to have it ordered that she is in CONTEMPT of court. She will be arrested when she tries to come back to California to fight for the Marshall money. The paternity test ORDER is NOT “null and void” in California….. and all the attorneys know that. This ORDER is in full effect in California.

ANS is a resident of both California and the Bahamas. She still owns a home in California, worked there, and conceived Dannielynn in California.

In my opinion, Ron Rale is a sleazy, scheming, lawyer who has no respect for the court or the law in California, where he practices. He knows the California judge’s ORDER for the DNA test is valid, and that ANS is in non-compliance of that specific ORDER.

Ron Rale is harping on “custody” issues, which he knows will be determined AFTER the DNA testing, and the custody matters must be decided in the Bahamas courts.

Ron Rale and Stern’s attorney, James Neavitt like to play word games to make it look like ANS has a legitimate reason to refuse to have the DNA testing done. It is smoke screens and mirrors. There is actually NO legally legitimate reason for ANS to refuse to comply with the judge’s ORDER to have the DNA testing done. The public knows she is hiding from the TRUTH that Larry Birkhead is Dannielynn’s daddy.

My respect and admiration for Larry Birkhead increases with every day that he continues to fight the “Anna Nicole deception machine”!

214. ANNA NICOLE GETTING SUED BY ALL THE LAWYERS I ASSUME SHE'S NOT CURRENTLY SLEEPING WITH

January, 22 2007
on-line news source


"The real idiots in this situation are her new lawyers, who are clearly operating
under the very flawed perception that eventually they will get paid."


Anna and HKS current attorneys must have made arrangements to collect their fees UP-FRONT...otherwise, WHO would be ignorant enough to take their case KNOWING full well that these two do NOT pay their bills?

Posted at 5:12PM on Jan 22nd 2007 by Opinion

215. ANS, HKS, Ron Rales and James Neavitt should all be slammed in JAIL and it just may happen....Those 2 attorneys are biggest joke going...If ANS thinks they'll protect her and cover her ass or her assets, than she's in for one hell of a BIG SLAM INTO A BRICK WALL !!!!!!! It wouldn't surprise me if the Judge orders all 4 of them in for CONTEMPT and JAIL TIME !! It could happen and I hope it does..ANS & HKS have so many enemies in the U.S. now, they probably should wear bullet proof vests...someone is going to get them, you just wait and see..They just arn't long for this world....What goes around, comes around !! Nothing is going to stop Debra Opri from going the full nine yards, believe me, she knew this was going to happen but she has an arm full of tricks that'll snap their necks....

216. ANS’s attorney Ron Rale, has been “serving” as her attorney since the Marshall money trials, and he “won” the original big money award (which she never got …. and I assume he never got paid). He is really running a gamble that she will ever win any Marshall money, and pay him for allllllllllllll the years of work he has done on all of her cases! He is so “driven” on the paternity case, because it could potentially affect the ongoing Marshall money case, and his future hopes of ever seeing any money from ANS.

The new Bahamian lawyer, Wayne Munroe, must have dollar signs in his eyes too, and thinks ANS will eventually get some Marshall money, and he will get paid. He has a reputation for “fixing cases” and being corrupt.

217. What was he thinking giving Daniel methadone? Like...was he thinking that the methadone would make him all better or something? Seriously...I hope justice gets served.

218. Anna Nicole apparently tried to commit suicide a few months ago in a pool in the Bahamas.

219. I am very shore that Howard kill bolth and Anna Nicol and her son.He was there in bolth episodes,than he got married on Anna in the same month of Daniels death(I meen if you are not in the rush you wait this bruttal period,if you love the suffering women).And the reasons are the amount of money Anna had!I want to see this Howard in the jeil!Rest in peace Anna & Daniel.

220. First: They are not married according to law and even if they were they cannot pull the spousal testimony BS as Daniel's death occured BEFORE their so called 'ceremony'. NO, I believe they did it (the ceremony) because THEY REALLY DID IT to Daniel and Stern convinced Anna that if they did the ceremony no one could touch them and they couldn't implicate each other!! Probably easy to convince Anna of just about anything, especially when she is vulnerably under the influence of guilt, grief, drugs, self preservation and stupidity.
Consider: Stern gives Daniel Anna's drugs for whatever reason (he cannot sleep, anxious, nervous, has a cold.....whatever) Daniel dies. Stern and Anna are both guilty (even if his death was an accident). Maybe it was only Stern's idea to give him the drugs, but they were prescribed to Anna, maybe they were in collusion...who knows but it is reasonable to believe they gave him the drugs. Anna was probably so high/low or just stupid that she's on another planet. Anyway, Daniel's dead so Anna and Stern have to collude to stay out of the can. Stern has his hands full trying to keep her sane but still drug her up to shut her up. He's desperate to disappear, thus buying the boat. They cannot stay in the Bahama house, they can't come stateside, so they will sail away into the sunset. RUT ROW, Stern's not holdin her hand and bang her guilt and her addiction take over and she goes toes up. Now we just wait and see.............. I do not mean to sound so crass, but the more I see of her life it was such a disaster and SHE DID HAVE the ability to make it a better life, for herself and her son. Not a good mother by normal and decent standards. Her claim to fame is sleazy tabloid glitter. My interest lies in the mystery of Daniel's death and now Anna's. I cannot stand an unsolved mystery, myself being a retired COP!

221. Well, even FOX NEWS is trashing ET's interviews with Howard & Anna! And Stern Pressures Larry TODAY to sign a deal!!

Howard K. Stern Plays Hardball With Larry Birkhead

Anna Nicole: Stern Pressures Larry to Sign Deal

Anna Nicole Smith's two baby daddies (I don't know what else to call them) continue to be in a tug-of-war this morning, even as their beloved cash cow is readied for burial.

Overnight, attorney Howard K. Stern — whose hold on the situation is starting to slip — has been strong-arming photographer Larry Birkhead to do a couple of things: keep Birkhead's legal reps out of Anna Nicole Smith's Bahamas funeral, sign a contract deal with "Entertainment Tonight" and acquiesce even further regarding the future of baby Danniellynn.

Stern, as I told you the other day, has already had one secret meeting with Birkhead in which he cut out the photographer's lawyers.

I'm told that Stern has kept up the pressure on Birkhead, actually presenting him with contracts, sources say, in which Birkhead would join Stern for more exclusive interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider."

"Howard wanted Larry to sign so that it looked like everyone was in agreement, and that it wasn't just Howard benefiting from these deals," my source said. "Larry said the baby's guardian should sign the papers for him and the baby, but he wouldn't. So then Larry wouldn't."

At the same time, Stern is trying to negotiate separately with Birkhead, away from his attorneys, to sign a deal by which Stern would continue to be in baby Danniellyn's life and oversee her finances.

Stern, my sources say, is working as quickly as he can to effect these agreements before he has to turn over the baby to Birkhead, her biological father.

Sources say that Birkhead's representatives are considering taking legal action against Stern's side to prevent further communication between the two sides as soon as today.

The problem, sources also say, is that Birkhead — a novice in these games — continues to be intimidated by Stern.

"Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," both owned by CBS Paramount Television, have denied paying for interviews. But I'm told their method – it's semantics — is to "license" footage either directly from Stern or through a third party.

Recently, "ET" used Solana Productions of Southern California in such a deal. Neither Solana or anyone from CBS Paramount answered calls yesterday.

Anna Nicole: Dead, and For Sale

Today, Anna Nicole Smith — a ridiculous person who accomplished just about nothing in her life — will be buried in the Bahamas.

There are several wars taking place all over the world, not to mention famines; artists are hard at work, movies are opening, buildings are going up, diseases are being investigated. But hey: Anna Nicole is being buried, and "Entertainment Tonight" will be there for every cheesy second of it.

That's because "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," two half-hour shows syndicated by CBS's Paramount TV, have paid a high price for this honor.

Real insiders (not the kind you have to pay for info) tell me that Paramount TV cut the deal with Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole's lawyer and Svengali, right after her son Daniel died of a methadone overdose in her Bahamian hospital room last September.

Paramount TV has denied this, somewhat passively, so far. But my sources say it they paid Stern around $3 million initially, and that this was renegotiated right after Anna Nicole herself died on February 8th of this year.

Of course, we could believe that Stern — who in court told clueless Florida probate judge Larry Seidlin that he was living off his parents — just loves "ET." Anything's possible.

But the reality is that Anna Nicole's death has proven to be a ratings-sweep godsend.

Linda Bell Blue, the show's executive producer, previously helmed Paramount's ugly tabloid show, "Hard Copy." For years she's had to sit through Mary Hart's tedious, publicist-arranged interviews with low-level TV stars, just waiting for this moment: a huge celebrity death, in a sweeps month, and already contracted for!

As recently as last night, "ET" correspondent Mark Steines was reporting "from inside" Anna Nicole's Bahamas mansion — no mention of the fact that it didn't belong to her, and that the landlord is kicking everyone out.

Steines had "the inside scoop" about the B-list country singer who would serenade Anna Nicole into the next life, the color of her burial gown ("pink!") and what would be inside the coffin (with any luck, Anna Nicole).

Steines performs these interviews — as he has since last Nov. 1, when he had his first "exclusive" after Smith's son, Daniel, died — with a reasonably straight face.

He either knows he's skating on very thin ice and doesn't care, or doesn't get it and is happy to accept the money. In either case, he loses.

As far back as last November, the show's viewers were writing into "ET" forums on the Web asking how much the show had paid for the interviews, and begging them to stop.

On the topix.net forum for the show, a woman named Lana from Andrews, Texas, wrote on Nov. 6: "ET needs to rename their show The Anna Nichole (sic) Show. Every night it is about her. I wonder if there are any viewers that care to hear about her."

On Nov. 6, Dianne from Madison, Wis., wrote: "I think they might have finally driven me away from the show with all this Anna Nicole crap. How much is she paying them?"

The viewers were smarter than the show thought. That didn't stop Blue, Steines and friends.

Nancy from Richardson, Texas, posted this before Smith died on Feb. 8: "Get over her ... I am tired of all of the interviews they are doing with her. She sounds like she is either drunk or high. I have no respect for her and am getting tired of seeing her and all the interviews. She can't even talk without sounding like she is a drunken slut!"

Patti Horton from Altoona, Pa., posted this on Feb. 9: "I can't believe someone from E[T] hasn't questioned Anna Nicole about her drug use. Every night that she is being interviewed it is quite obvious that she is somewhere in la la land. I think they should of (sic) been more persistent in following that path than her new house. Some of the interviews it was all she coud (sic) do to talk. Was this a safe environment for this baby???"

Steines, of course, has a blog on the "ET" Web site. It's a hoot.

On Feb. 9, the day after Smith died, he posted: "When the news broke of Anna's death ... I immediately boarded a plane to Florida along with Khristine Eroshevich, Anna's close confidant…"

Steines acts like Eroshevich is just a pal, maybe another Playboy model. In fact, she was the model's psychiatrist, and someone who has yet to be heard from.

Eroshevich's few comments — including that she oversaw an ice bath for a dying Smith — have been limited to ... Steines, who despite his "inside" sources has not been able to secure Eroshevich for a real interview about these people and their drug use.

I doubt that will happen until Stern's usefulness has passed and his agreements with "ET" have expired.

Steines must feel a long way away from the two Emmys he received years ago in local news at KCAL-TV in Los Angeles.

222. With this witness statements about Daniel's source of Methadone and the reports that Howard Stern received drugs from California in his name that were intended for Anna Nichole, why isn't he being investigated for practicing medicine without a liscense in at least two countries?
