When Anna Nicole Smith’s son Daniel Smith died he had in his blood stream the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro, plus a third antidepressant which was not identified (strange), a sleeping medication Ambien, and over-the-counter cold medicine, plus methadone which is used to help heroin addicts kick heroin and extreme pain. Attorneys said Daniel was being treated for depression and back pain. Despite the suspicious fact that Daniel had access to methadone, a huge bottle of which his mother also had in a refrigerator after her death, Daniels death is said to be accidental, and not a homicide. The son followed the mother’s example, and died the same death. Very sad.

Anna Nicole Smith s mother, Virgie Arthur, and the guy who claimed to be Dannielynn s daddy Howard K. Stern, were both in a Nassau, Bahamas courtroom this morning for the beginning of an inquest into the death of Anna’s only son Daniel Smith. This case needs a Perry Mason.

Howard K. Stern claims he is broke. He tells Us magazine:

… Since the passing of his partner (and only client) in February, the attorney says he is having trouble making ends meet. "I am in debt and basically broke. There’s this impression out there that I am somehow making money off of Anna’s death. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

Stern has filed a $60 million libel suit against author Rita Cosby for alleging in a book that he engaged in homosexual acts with the father of Anna’s baby Dannielynne, Larry Birkhead. But due to “juggling” more than a dozen other lawsuits, Stern says he owes his parents ’hundreds of thousands of dollars.’"

How rich are his parents anyway? Stern is the executor of Anna’s estate, and stands to make a nice sum from that, especially if it cashes in on the Marshall lawsuit. Stern probably has a book in progress, a reality TV show, and something that could involve Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn.

Howard K. Stern has just started the process of taking Rita Cosby to court. TMZ reports:

A judge has ruled that there’s a lot of evidence that former MSNBC anchor turned author Rita Cosby crossed the line in writing her tell-all book about Anna Nicole Smith.

Howard K. Stern is suing Cosby, claiming she defamed him in the book by saying there are witnesses — two nannies — who say Anna Nicole had a video of Stern and Larry Birkhead having sex.

A federal judge in the Southern District of New York issued an order today in the wake of Stern’s allegation that Cosby "sought to tamper with two witnesses by offering to pay them thousands of dollars for their testimony." The judge allowed Stern to probe the allegation, concluding he has "presented substantial — indeed troubling — evidence that Cosby has sought to improperly influence witnesses…"

In a statement to TMZ, Rita Cosby said, "I am pleased that the Court will get to the bottom of these unfounded allegations. I trust that when all the facts come out that a very different picture will be shown."

When a judge says the evidence crossed the line it’s an opinion that allows Howard to investigate whether the allegations have any factual foundation. It should be interesting to see the outcome of Howard’s investigation into Cosby’s sources. These two should get married. They’re like two evil geniuses plotting to get money, but rather than working together, they’re at war with each other. Cosby’s plans risk spoiling Stern’s plan that took years to hatch. Bwahahaha.

The father, Ford Shelly, of the nine year-old girl who painted Anna Nicole Smith’s face like a clown in the Bahamas, finally released the full shocking video of Anna obviously on drugs that day. Ford is outing more Howard K. Stern lies. Geraldo Rivera did a great job presenting this news piece. Geraldo points out that Fox News did not pay Ford even a penny for this interview or the full video shown here for the first time.
