I totally believe Howard K. Stern is being judged unfairly. He and Anna Nicole Smith have lived within the scrutiny of the media since before her marriage to Howard Marshall. Some media host thinks Howard should talk to the media, why should he - media would find fault with anything he says - I truly believed Howard loved and still loves Anna Nicole Smith. I believe his reason for not pressing Anna on the drug issue was due to the fact he didn't want put out of her life. It's obvious that Anna was a force, she made her own decisions and if anyone came up against her she had very little to do them, if anything.

I wish the media would quit attacking Howard K. Stern - in due time he will talk about what is happening right now - just let him be until he does.

'What kind of father allows the mother of his unborn child to do drugs?'

Come on! He could not control Anna. She is her own person and it is not Howard's job to let or not let her do something. Anna was an adult. Stop trying to place resonsibility on anyone but her. She chose to live the way she did. She chose to do drugs. She chose to be with Howard. Don't blame him for her choices.

I truly feel that Howard is being crucified by people that really don't know what truly went on behind the closed doors. Anna and Howard were together a long time. She was smart enough to know when to get rid of him and when not to.
She chose not to. Lets face it they are two consenting adults way over 21 so
let it all go. She has passed and may she rest in peace soon. As far as the
baby if she did not think Howard would be good enough to take care of her then
she would have made other arrangements and I am sure she would have talked to someone on how she felt if she really did not like being with him. If you look
at most of her video and photos of her and Howard they are on a very friendly bases. She is not always strung out on medication. there are time she seem very
put together. So people need to leave them all alone and get on with their own lives. We have a war that needs to be taken care of. Drugs that need to be put
off the street. Homeless and Hungry to worry about. Employment, health insurance
and gas. So why is it so important for people to be focused on one person and
what was around her. Virgie is a joke. Her family did not come out until money
was flashed. Move on.

I totally agree with Christine. The media and the public have persecuted Howard K Stern since day one. This was a 39 yr old woman with a mind of her own. She chose who she saw and what she did. If any of you have had a friend, a child, a spouse, any relative that has had an addiction, then you know there is not much you can do until that person decides for themselves to stop what they are doing! You all should be ashamed of yourselves, how would you like it if one of your own was treated this way by the media and everyone who could spew defamatory remarks towards them, did? Leave this man alone, let him grieve his loss of his family...and yes Anna and Daniel were and are his family. Let him raise his child in peace.

I think Jane Velez-Mitchell's point regarding Anna Nicole doing drugs while pregnant is this... IF Anna Nicole was pregant with Howard K Stern's child while doing drugs - regardless of whether she is her own person or not - or whether or not Howard K Stern was in love with her... How could Howard K Stern allow her to expose HIS unborn child to those drugs. If that is his child then he is hardly responsible enough to care for her. I think he was Anna's little flunky and that he wasnt about to stand up to her... after all they do say that you shouldnt bite the hand that feeds you right?

HKS had all this planned from day one. He alienated everyone id Anna's life. This is most basic form of control. If you remember the Anna 'E' show, Daniel rarely hung around his Mom when HKS was lurking around her. Daniel always looked uptight around HKS. Where's Anna's assistant Kimmie ?
He studied Bahamian law to learn how pateral rights were established.
If HKS is really the bio father... then give a sample for DNA testing.
Be done with all of it.
The baby needs to be with bio-daddy or even Virgie.

WHO CARES??? Basically, here's the deal: We have a grown woman, who has 2 children (one of which she was intelligent and capable enough to raise to adulthood), and likes to drink and do drugs. Then there's her 'companion' Howard, also an adult, and also capable. Until they met, they both controlled their own lives. Why does everyone assume that all of a sudden, Howard needs to step up and be Anna's 'parent'? Up until they got together, she managed on her own (admittedly, she made her fair share of mistakes, I am not saying she was a role model by any means). So why was that magically supposed to change when Howard stepped into the picture??? I can say for a fact that if I were self destructive and some boyfriend of mine didn't like it, there would not be much he could do about it. I am an adult, and a very strong-willed one at that, as was Anna. I can't see her allowing someone else to tell her what to do. You can try to save people from themselves, but you can't force anyone to do something they don't want to do. Anna's death was her own fault, not Howard's, or anyone else's. GET OVER IT, NO ONE KILLED HER! Everyone just wants to blame someone for this! It is not anyone's FAULT!!!

To allow a pregnant mother who is addicted to drugs to continue unabated should be criminal. In the United States, Social Services should have been involved with the baby the moment she was born, since she was born to a woman who knowingly abused drugs. Those around her who knew about her drug use and abuse (including Larry) should have apprised authorities both in the U.S. and the Bahamas that this woman was using drugs and the baby should be tested (and treated) at birth. The consequences of Anna's drug use may well be borne by this child for her entire life. Howard exacerbates the problem, at the very least. I suspect he is far more involved than that, though. I suspect that Howard used Anna's drug dependency for his own purpose and gain. For a person who has been a leech for the past ten years, he certainly seems to be able to afford the high life right now, doesn't he?

You have all got to be kidding me if you do not think Howard Stern is not in this for the money! Why do you think they went to the Bahamas for Anna to have the baby? Do you not think that Howard knew the law in the Bahamas about being named the father on the baby's birth certificate? Isn't all just a little odd, the baby's birth in the Bahamas and then Daniel and Nicoles deaths? Could he really have cared that much for them?

Howard Stern was riding the Anna the Cash Cow for all it was worth, and his last ditch effort to hold on to the baby so he could greedily profit off her potential inheritance is about as transparent as glass. Filming a pregnant woman on drugs and mentioning making money off it shows where his head was at. He was an enabler, a freeloader and a greedy monster of the worst kind.

Anna had enough problems with the death of her son, without this letch of a man using her for any money he could get from her. He may have loved her, but if Anna wasn't making money, his love would have gone south. He is no more the baby's father than me and I'm a woman! He should just get what he got from Anna and leave everyone alone instead of pretending that he cares for this baby. He cares for his cash cow. That is all this person cares about. Give Mr. Birkhead his child and tell this philanderer to get packing.

It looks like Team Howard's publicity machine is working hard at trying to defend him here. A real man would of taken Anna to the hospital if she was pregnant with his child. I'm sure HKS is glad that Anna is out of the picture and he'll have an easier time of managing DannieLynn's money if she ever gets it and he doesn't wind up in prison, or better yet, dead.

SINCE I USED TO WATCH ANNA NICOLE ON HER REALITY SHOW COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I JUST NEVER TRUSTED MR. STERN. HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO JUST BE LOOKING OUT FOR HIMSELF. HE WAS ALWAYS HOVERING TO SEE WHAT HE COULD GET OUT OF ANNA. OF COURSE THIS IS ALL SPECULATION BUT I'LL GUESS THAT BABY IS NOT HIS AND HE WOULD HAVE LOVED FOR ANNA TO LOOSE THE BABY THEREFORE ANY INHERITANCE WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SPLIT UP.

If Howard Says him and Anna was going together, why would he allow Anna to kiss on Larry, right in front of himself? I think they loved each other BUT Anna was not in love with him. He took care of her yea,! but he knew if he was to stay around, he was to stand back and let her do her thing. Anna dont know how to love, she didnt even love herself. And who took the picture of the Priminister and her in bed? HOWARD? More is there than we know. My personal appenion is they are dragging there feet to long over this baby. After all Larry filed paternity long befour now. Let the man know if he is the father, I hope to God he is.

Anna was right handed, but the infected absess was on her left butt.
why in the hell would he film and mock anna while she was f***up?!
Why did the heartbroken(ha) HKS finish the sale of the boat the day after anna died?...which I might add was in his name..ONLY.
Why in the hell did he take pictures of a dead daniel smith?
why didn't he allow the inqust into daniels death.
How in the hell do you sleep through someone vomitting in a small hospital room?
Anna was most likely zonked out...but what about howard?
why did Anna scream 'you did this!' to howard.
why did howard allow Birkhead to live with anna...if he really was the BF....and i dont' believe the ...he loved her so much that he allowed it...BS! Nobody I know would put up with that!
Did you see the pictures of the 'wedding day' . Look at anna. Her face is puffy, from all the crying...would you want to marry 3 days after your son died?
Did you notice that Howard said they had their ceremoney in international waters?
why did anna tell ben he was the father of her baby?

Howard K. Stern is an a-hole, period.

bottomline - a man who loves his partner so much would without regard get help for his challenged and troubled companion.

There is no excuse for his lack of foresight, or blindness to this matter.
He is a selfish man who will pay the price for his wrongful decisions.

its unfortunate that we have so many money hungry, self righteous, self important people hurting others to get ahead...

Wall street, Media producers, politicians....They follow their own will, not the will of the creator.

We will all answer to a higher power, how have you loved others or have you hurt others...??

This man ' Howard Stern ' has hurt others and now we have 2 people dead that he has been around. Bad energy!

Anyone can be a father it takes someone special to be a dad!

Look at K-Fed for example, having sex with his boss when his girlfriend is pregnant with their second child. He doesn't seem to be fighting to support them.

Give Mr. Stern a break you can see he's hurting! If the other guy was the father, Anna would have put him down as such.

Her choice! Not ours!

It seems every time Howard was around Anna Nicole she was doing drugs. Why did she have a BAD infection in her butt when she checked into Hard Rock? Dirty needles, that is why and who gave her the shots in the butt; 'Howard'? Of course the report did not say that Howard gave her the shots, but ......Plus, have you ever seen the video of Howard, Anna Nicole, Howard's doctor friend who gave the prescription Methodone, and Larry in the bar?-----the gay bar, the gay doctor; I bet that Howard Stern is gay! (please if you are that type of person, do not come out of the closet at me, I am just stating facts about the video) Also, did you see the way Howard Stern carried the baby when they showed him getting out of the car with the baby in the Bahamas last week; who in there right mind carries a baby like that? A baby is to be carried close to the body so in the event you fall or trip, you can protect the baby..Howard is no good, a user, and miserable now that he can not keep his 'honey' all drugged up so she can make an ass out of herself, but yet make him money. No!, I do not feel sorry for Howard and I believe he is guilty!!!!!!!

Howard Stern is a pathetic man, he is living in a house that he does not own with a baby that he knows is not his, off of blood money from a dead woman... give me a break... an enabler to Anna and her drug habit, holding a baby hostage from her father, and litigating at every turn. He should move out of that house, give Larry Birkhead his baby, and move back to California and get what is known in this country as a J-O-B and stop looking for blood money....

HKS killed them both. You people need to be realistic. And if that baby is not taken from him very very quickly, I think he will kill himself and her. He is just all-a-bout-the-money. He killed Daniel because of jealousy and the fact that he was Anna's eyeball; then he killed her because she loves 'plenty of men' and does what she wants. Those people need to hurry up with the DNA to get it over with and let Daniellyn grow up to be the best daughter to her dad.

Stern knows he's not the father.

I think the media is just stiring the pot. They are making all the turds come to the top so they can make the most they can of everything.
Howard is in a very awkward position.
I don't think he is guilty of anything excect not having the 20/20 hind site we all have after some tragedy befalls us.
I don't blame him for feeling the media has mistreated him. ANS's mom can be on TV and just outright call him a killer.
She just plain bothers me. You know, I really do believe Howard was going to take her to that place to get clean, and I don't think he wanted her all drugged up like you all imply. How could that serve him. He had to take her to court and represent her. Do you really think he wanted her loaded and out of control? I don't.
I think Howard knew her better than anyone else, and he knew if she just quit drugs she would have withdrawl and loos the child, and I think when she went to the hospital to get off when Birkhead was there, I think she likely played down how many drugs she was using so the amount the hospital was giving her was too little.
Anyway, all that is water under the bridge now.
I do wonder about Virgie though, she said, or he lawyer O'Quinn said that even if Larry gets that baby she wants her, she will take her, so I hope Larry opened his eyes and took one good look, as he might end up with her.
I wonder, when she can go on TV, and say my daughter has been on drugs all the years Daniel grew up and he could have taken her drugs all that time. Well, maybe he did, and I think he knew just where to find them if he wanted to help himself at that hospital room. But, Virgie, if you think Howard, who as far as I have heard so far uses nicotine gum, is unfit as a parent, why didn't you come after that baby when Anna was alive?
If we belive everything you have said about your daughter, how on earth could you call her a fit parent?
Seems others like Howard knew and thought more of her than you did.
I sure don't know what is going to happen, but I think if Larry is not the father he is going to be heart broken, and if he is then Howard may be heart broken, Virgie cares not she just wants that baby. So, I think if Howard and Larry have a deal in the works mabye the best for all, I recently lost my father and a wonderful one he was, if you had two that cared so much for you, I don't think you could go wrong.

Howard Stern deserves persecuting. I don't trust him for a moment although his family seems supporting and nice from what I've seen on TV. It is extremely dysfunctional to devote your whole life to Anna without expecting a big pay off- like a percentage of Howard Marshall's estate. And why were the prescription drugs under his name? Isn't that illegal? Really people- he deserves what he gets with his shady behavior. I always felt Anna must have been very high to do that strange 'marriage' ceremony with him after Daniel died. Got methadone? In the co-dependent world Howard IS very resposible and Anna Nicole acted like a wasted whore. Sorry folks, truth hurts.

Anna started out just fine in her career AND managed herself well with the media to a point...that ended.

I see Howard K Stern as a person who started out with good intentions AND then let his evil twin run his mind south.

I do not trust him.

Why did he try to block the DNA testing a week after it was complete??

I do not think he is the father, AND he is not sure.

Just from his pics on the internet AND news coverage he looks guilty of something that even the media does not have wind of.

Last note, both Anna and her son died from pretty much the same thing, who do you think assisted in the availability to these drugs??

'Come on! He could not control Anna. She is her own person and it is not Howard's job to let or not let her do something. Anna was an adult.'

Er, if she was doing drugs during the pregnancy, he certainly could have addressed it in a family court and the court in term could have ordered her into mandatory rehab. When you are a danger to yourself or others (the 'other' in this case being the baby), the court can take control.

You're also assuming she was mentally competent when she was choosing to continue to do the drugs.

If Howard K. Stern knows he's the father, then why would he impede any testing to confirm it? The video Stern shot of Anna Nicole truly disoriented, with makeup smeared all over her face, while he mocked her and talked about the video being sellable is sad and dispicable. His behavior is dispicable. Many people who knew Anna Nicole well have been silent, and will soon start speaking out. Jim Carrey hit the nail on the head when, on the Today Show, he suggested that Anna's baby be renamed 'mealticket', because it seems that this is how Howard K. Stern has been relating to Anna Nicole Smith. She's supported his worthless act for years. If Howard K. Stern cared about Dannielynne, then why would he tolerate Anna being on drugs while she was prgnant. My suspicions are that he manipulated Anna Nicole with drugs, because she couln't not tolerate him when she was not drugged.

Mark from GuamApr 3rd, 2007 - 23:30:27

To me it seems like Howard rolled the dice for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. The only way he could hope to claim that money for himself would be to get himself appointed in control of the heir. Becoming a family member is really the only way to do that without legal restrictions on what one could do with the money. Son and brother? Bad idea, there goes a portion, so Stearn came closer to his goal when Daniel died. Ex wife of a billionaire? The money would be hers mostly and not his, so Stearns plans are forwarded to the 95 yard line when Anna died. Drugs during pregnancy? All the better for Stearn, complications from prenatal drug use could only make stealing candy from a baby even easier.

The only way it could have gone better for Stearn would have been if he fathered the child himself--but that scenario apparently didn't present itself. As I understand, the issue of drugs and pregnancy was what caused the breakup with Birkhead and afforded Stearn the opportunity to become the 'knight in shining pill bottles' for Anna and to whisk her away to a fantasyland where he hoped he could steal paternity from the Birkhead and wait for the brother and mother to kill themselves with chemicals.

Unfortunately for Stearn, the Bahamas may not be the fantasyland he imagined where any name on a birth certificate checkmates the true bloodline.

Howard said he and Anna were going to make their union legal. If she was so into him, wouldn't that be a medication found in her bloodstream?

Don't think soApr 4th, 2007 - 03:43:39

Regarding the comment about how Anna raised an intelligent son - Correction - Virgie raised Daniel for the first 7 years of his life - and those are the most formative years. Give her credit for giving him a little bit of grounding that got him through the next 13 years of chaos - and sadness - watching his mom be made into a freak and a drug addict through HKS.

I went through a relationship with an abuser - they do want your life 24/7. And for goodness sake - look at her in all the pictures with him. He's surly and scowling while she's smiling and completely ignoring him. This is a man who took enough of her abuse and holding him off - and found that the way to control her was to manipulate her relationships so that there was no one else there. Remember the guy who was thrown into jail on the basis of Howard's word that he was coming over to the house 'packing' when he was coming over to pack up. And sleeping on the couch and trying to come into the bedroom when Larry's there with her. That is so SICK and wrong.

He is smart, he's had a long time to think about this, and with 7 insurance policies in his name and 8 prescriptions in his name - that is pre-meditated. And then with the lawsuit winding down, I would bet that he was deathly afraid that 1 - she would testify and say something that would incriminate him about Daniel's death. 2- with the settlement coming up, he may have been afraid that she'd find a way to completely get him out of her life.

I think though that if he feels like he's in a corner - he'll off himself and kill the baby also. But based on the amount of drugs that poor child ingested while in the womb - plus anything else that he's given her since, she's probably going to end up severely brain-damaged. According to the affadavit of a nanny, Howard and Anna gave her drugs when she cried.

One thing I'd like to see happen is for the Marshall estate to start working on disbarring HKS - and then also start asserting that you shouldn't be able to profit from a crime - not the murder of Daniel and Anna - BUT the FRAUD of putting himself on the birth certificate as a father which would put him in position of benefiting from the Marshall estate in 3 ways - once as the attorney - getting a % of it as legal fees, the second as an executor - getting another 6% or so, and the third as the guardian and caretaker of Dannielyn - taking as much as he wants of what he passes through to 'her'.

He had a lot of nights in an empty bed to stew over this and I'm sure he saw every bottle of pills as another downpayment (made on Anna's money) on this eventual payoff.

I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. But just like Greenson cut Monroe off from healthy outside influences at the end - Howard whisked her away to facilitate segregation/isolation and make her vulnerable enough to 'need' him psychologically........'us against the world'.......and he did so for multiple reasons - keep the other men away (impossible, she would always be promiscuous - it was her makeup) and hold on to his free lunch ticket as long as he could, on and on. That is one reason he promoted the drugs, to anesthetize her free spirit. And Daniel out of the picture could only be a good thing for him, consciously or unconsciously. More of Anna. Less distraction. If his heart had of been right in the first place, his name would never ever have been on any pill bottles.

On a personal note, and I disgust myself, I think he is very sexy and a 'bad boy,' making him alluring to girls like Anna and myself. Image Elizabeth telling Montgomery: 'Tell mama all about it......'

I'm curious, does anyone else seem the least bit suspiscious of the fact that between this guy and millions of dollars has died - all of a sudden, and that there seems to have been speculation that Ms. Smith and he were not on the
best of terms?

Let's hope the baby stays healthy.

Why not go back and say the same about all of the people who were around Elvis, Janis Joplin, John Bulushi, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison and our family members, friends etc. Anna made her choices.

Whenever you have a group of friends or family members who are all on drugs, it's rare that anyone in that group or family is EVER making sound decisions. The drugs become a way of life, and at best the people doing them are in a non-stop haze of dillusional thoughts and actions.

When you have one person essentially 'druggie sitting' for one or more druggies, it usually entails a viscious cycle of manipulative behavior going in both directions. But at the same time the 'druggie sitter' is usually the one being manipulated by the user(s).

Ms. Della Street, please take notes for the record.

Murder? Complicity? I only take cases that I am confident I can establish my client's innocence by dramatically demonstrating the guilt of another character.

For the record, we will not defend Howard K. Stern (HKS) in good faith because I am 99.9% sure that I can establish HKS' guilt of murdering Ms. Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel on the critical path -- a major milestone and causal factor leading to Ms. Smith's death. Fundamentally, I am confident that when all the evidence is weighed, the world will see that Howard K. Stern murdered Daniel (by overdose in his soda pop or sparkling water) during the timeframe when HKS picked Daniel up from the airport and transported Daniel directly to Ms. Smith's hospital room to visit her -- days after the birth of Dannielynn.

What 'happened' to Daniel troubles me -- it reeks of blood-money murder.

First one kills THE beneficiary -- oh, pardon me -- that was an accidental overdose. Then the Mom who loves her Son more than she loves herself (that's what Moms do) can't live without her son and she slips into morbidity...

The whole case history stinks for HKS.

Ms. Della Street, please take notes for the record. HKS is guilty as a rat seeking stinking cheese. If he calls, tell him to look for another lawyer (one who has practiced law, unlike himself). If you are in a good mood, when HKS calls, you may advise him to call OJ Simpson's lawyers. They have proven that they can free a murderer.

Ms. Street, you know we only take on cases where I believe/know the defendent is INNOCENT. The only way to take on a rat like HKS is with a titanium baseball bat.

Della, you are the best.

Sincerely,
Perry Mason

I believe Howard K Stern used Anna Nicole Smith for the money. The irony is, of course, she used Howard Marshall for the same reason...$$$.

They say what comes around, goes around.

The only tragedy is that the children got mixed up in this.

The Perfect Crime!

What bothers me most about the whole scenario is the timing. Why did Daniel die three days after the birth of Anna Nicole Smith's new baby? Because Howard K. Stern knew that without Anna Nicole's baby, there would be no way for him to inherit the money as a 'guardian.' Once the baby was born, however, it was time for Howard to get rid of Daniel. This man had lots of drugs in his name, how difficult would it have been to overdose Daniel? Very easy. Once Daniel is out of the way, the next step is to 'marry' Anna Nicole, put his name on the child's birth certificate, then kill Anna too (with another drug overdose). The result, of course, is that now there's no Anna, no Daniel, and the next-of-kin is a few months old, with Howard listed as the 'father'. He is now free to pursue the $500 million case against the Marshall estate.

Except for one little thing Howard didn't plan for: the baby might not be his. If it's Larry Birkhead's baby, or someone else's, the plan collapses. Except that Larry might be enough of an airhead to be bought out.

The real problem with people like Howard K Stern and O.J. Simpson, however, is that they know that with enough money, they are 'above the law.' Howard K. Stern should already be arrested for giving Anna illegal doses of medicine and drugs. WHY has he not been arrested?

I'll never believe that Daniel or Anna died simply of a drug overdose. These two had been using drugs for years, yes, but they died rather conveniently for Mr. Stern and Anna got much worse under Howard's spell.

Anyone who says that HKS is being unfairly crucified is delusional! Here's what it boils down to...The video of Anna at 8 months pregnant with HKS treating her 'drug trip' like a joke, and especially the comment about making a lot of money off of this. That is sick beyond compare!! There is nothing and no way to excuse that behavior. HKS is DISGUSTING......!

True, Anna Nicole was a grown woman capable of making her own choices. However, if HKS genuinely cared for Anna's and 'his' unborn child's well-being, he would not have brought a duffel bag fulll of drugs to the hospital for her to abuse. If HKS genuinely loved Anna he wouldn't made that grotesque clown videotape. If HKS genuinely loved Anna, he would have brought her to the hospital when she had a 105 degree fever instead of 'icing' her down. He was her enabler so he could control her.

You media people are only reporting what people that dilike howard is saying.JOhn O quin got on greta and nany graces shows last night and aqused howard of stealing from dannylynn were does he have that right is he the banker or book keeper.When ash how virigie is paying her lawyers he seems to avoid that question.

as well as his sidekick Erosovich should both be held accountable for their participation and negligence in not only Daniel's death but Anna's as well.
The evidence of their culpability speaks for itself.
Not to mention that as it turns out most of the prescriptions that were found to be present in Anna,...(8 out of 11 isn't it?),...belonged to non other than Howard K. ,...and all 11 were prescribed by non other than Erosovich.
I find it quite a coincidence that both Erosovich and managed to not actually be present when Anna was 'discovered',...I guess that Howie did learn something from Daniels death after all,...he learned not to actually be in the room when the 'discovery' happens huh?
Now he is beating his gums about defamation of character and what not,...I find that ludricous in and of itself.
His odious intent is made public and is a matter of common public knowledge,...most of it is already documented by court record and the parts that are not are exactly the parts that is attempting to keep hidden by wasting everyones time and money filing ridiculous appeals that amount to nothing other than worn out old stall tactics.
,...being the attorney that he is knows very well how to work a loophole in the law,...if you want proof of that just take a look at the now famous 'will'.
However ,...that also means that Howie certainly can not get away with the ole babe in the woods routine ,...claiming ignorance of the law and his own weakness is no defense.
The fact that he is allowed to retain custody of an infant that is not his child,...in a residence that does not belong to him is a travesty of the entire justice system.
If you want to get away with any criminal activities just head for the Bahama's and you will be alright huh?
It is way past time that and Erosovich be charged and brought in to account for their own actions.
If it was a common regular everyday person off of the street they would have been charged before anyone could say Jack Flash.
Why should and Erosovich be priveledged characters?
Thing's that make ya go H-m-m-m.

The other name that was deleted in my previous comment is Howard K. Stern.
It should read Stern and Erosovich as they are both liable are they not?
However everytime Stern was to appear before Erosovich it was deleted when the comment was posted.
So much for the media only printing negatives about Howie huh?
It does not matter though,...the truth is going to come out and there is not a thing that either Howie or Erosovich can do to stop it.
Deep down they know that but I feel they will remain true to form and deny and delay just as they have done thus far.
Daniel ,...Anna and Dannielynn all deserve justice and justice is what they will have in the end ,...regardless of if suits Howie and Erosovich or not.

Howard K. Stern was a total Psychophant. End of story. He manipulated and used Anna Nicole Smith, just like so many others around her.

The bottom line is, Anna Nicole Smith was famous for being famous. She had no real talent. Well ... unless you count her physical attractiveness.

It's time to put this story to rest, settle the paternity and let everyone get on with rebuilding their lives.

I do believe that HKS has some culpability in Anna Nicole's death, but it is difficult to protect someone from themselves.

The worst thing that can happen to compulsive personalities is to be surrounded by yes people. There is nobody there to keep the wreck from happening.

It happend to Elvis. While Anna Nicole can't compare to him, there are a lot of similarities in her death.

Anna did what Anna wanted to do. As far as the video, how many people would be in the same situation with home videos if something happened. Videos are made at home to stay at home if all agree. Don't tell me that Anna wouldn't have benefited from that video if she and Howard agreed, she liked money also or she wouldn't have been going after the Marshall fortune. Remember she is the one that hired Howard he didn't hire her, she wanted to have him around or she would have gotten rid of him. Personally I would not have stayed around her, she was just to messed up (thanks to Virgie). Leave Howard alone and hope that no one ever gets their hands on any of your home videos'. Look out Harvey and Jean (the white knights) are coming after you. I had thought they were both intelligent and adult (wrong)

DisgustedApr 4th, 2007 - 16:14:27

Most of you people are truly disgusting, heaping slander on this man like he is devil incarnate. I don't even know where to start.

For starters, according to testimony under oath, HKS basically gave up all of his income to be with ANS. I can't recall exact figures but from what I can remember he has a contingency fee of something like 6 million IF the inheritance court case is won. He gets that money if ANS is dead or alive, so the speculation that he killed for money is ludicrous. He could have been bilking ANS for millions all of these years and settled for rent paid on an apartment and something in the neighborhood of 12K annually for his appearances on the reality show. He is already legally the executor of the estate, according to a will drawn up years prior, so fighting for the baby has little bearing on who gets to control any possible future estate.

ANS did not die of an ACUTE DRUG OVERDOSE as stated incorrectly above, she died of ACUTE COMBINED DRUG TOXICITY. There was no overdose, she died from a bad mix of drugs (drug interaction), something that happens to be one of the leading causes of death in this country.

She was surrounding by medical professionals before she died, some of whom prescribed the medications that helped cause her death, yet you people harp all over HKS. How pathetic is that? She might have been a drug abuser, but at the time of her death she had a valid medical need for every drug in her system with the exception of the growth hormones/B12. You know, the substances she took to 'look good'. As far as I am concerned if she hadn't been infected from the injections she was taking to 'look good', she would still be alive today.

The behavior by the media and lawyers in this entire deal has been disgusting. The only good that can come out of all this is if HKS will be able to win 100's of slander lawsuits against these vultures who have shown no hesitation to completely assasinate his character for no reason other than to sensationalize. Especially Fox news, whose coverage has been dispicably vicious towards this hapless man.

Give it a rest for God's sake, let the guy grieve in peace and get on with his life.

In all the lawsuits which will rightfully be filed by family members of ANS and her son, the only hope for HK$ to avoid being found not liable, since all the drugs she took during the past 6 months were prescribed by Dr. Eroshovich to Howard, and not ANS, (According to Dr. Perper this week on TV), he has to have witnesses willing to testify for him that she (ANS) somehow manipulated and held him hostage, forcing him and the Dr. to prescribe these drugs for her in his name. Nyet! Don't think anyone is going to risk the chance of being charged as a possible co-conspirator or worse. His goose, is basically cooked.

The truely openness of the 'wrongful death' suits by ANS and Daniel's family members will also do discovery on all the 'financial and legal documents' filed by HK$ and of course, her 'Counsel?', Ron Rale. Ron, was so helpful in representing his client, ANS, that according to the Horrey County, SC Sheriff's dept. Ron showed up on a Friday trying to lay claim to her computer 'on behalf of Howard K. Stern', who was not his client, on the very day that the Seminole Police stated they wanted to review the contents of the computer. Unfortunately for Howard and Ron (remember Ron is Anna'as client, not HK$), the computer was already in the hands of the Seminole Police Dept. If your client dies and a Police Dept is investigating your client's death, why would you appear on behalf of someone NOT your client, who is under possible 'person of interest status' and try and get the computer before the police have a chance to look at it? Whose interest was Ron Rale trying to represent? His client, ANS - doesn't look like it? Howard K. Stern, his friend - looks more like it? Conflict of interest - very possibly. Lawsuits going forward by ANS family members will definitely point to Ron Rales' seemingly unethical conduct as related to his client in this regard, at least!

Sometimes when a person does not even love themselves enough to stop doing harm to themselves they have simply given up on life.In Howard's defense if he had been head over heels in love with her and it seems like the kind of person she was that if he had told her no more drugs and tried to detox her she would have pushed him out of her life also. So he held on through all the drugs and all of the bi polar reactions she had. I feel sorry for Howard he is kind of like a parent of a drug addict...I highly doubt he is the father but i really doubt he meant to cause any harm to any of them his only mistake was being a pushover all this time..

As the former assistant to a very high profile actor, i can honestly say that HKS got sucked in deeper than he ever imagined, with no way to pull himself out. In his case, it was easier to stay than leave. Celebrities are notoriously paranoid of everyone, the whole world. They trust NO ONE, except a very close circle of friends, assistants, and advisors. A 'normal' person can only take this kind of life for say, 5 years, then they're out. HKS obviously was not a 'normal' person, in that he was also acting as her attorney. When you get in deep with these celebrities, it's very hard to pull away. The guy got sucked in and the ball was rolling real fast.
So, now that Anna and Daniel are resting in peace, the guy might be thinking it's a relief. At least he now knows neither can get their hands on drugs and do bad things to themselves. Let's all give him the benefit of the doubt. Afterall, none of you people have ever been in his shoes like I have. His biggest problem was he mixed business with pleasure. Look where it got him.

HKS is the worst kind of slick sleaze there is. He had $$ in both eyes and saw a floundering blonde who he convinced she could be just like Marilyn Monroe. HKS saw ANS as a money making machine for him to earn a living off of. He claimed to be a lawyer (UCLA), but never practiced law and had no clients before ANS. He provided the drugs which killed her. He was with her when she died and did nothing to prevent it, even if it meant going to drug rehab or the emergency room kicking and screaming. HKS advised her to move to Bahamas to avoid the tax laws and other restrictive laws in the U.S. ANS money would be sheltered in the Bahamas. HKS is GUILTY of NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE!
The pregnancy was an insurance policy to the inheritance from her marriage to Marshall to ANS estate and makes one wonder even more about his intentions. His so-called marriage of convenience is also highly suspect.

Look, it's so obvious Howard is the bad guy here - How can you people defend him! I too, watched her reality show and there is no way she had sex with him! As for Larry and Vergie, they BOTH wanted her off drugs ~ that is why they were out of the picture. It is appauling how he taped her with that clown face and joked about a 'mushroom trip!' Not to mention giving her drugs in the hospital, having 8 prescriptions in his name, etc. etc. He allienated everyone from her life, does that tell you something? CONTROL! He had ONE client, Anna Nichole, she was his gravy train and it's derailing so he's pulling every trick in the book. Who's suffering? A beautiful baby that is being kept from her real father and grandmother. This is ridiculous!!!
Let's think about his bro and sis. Did they quit their jobs to come and take care of the baby? What's in it for them? And I doubt ma and pa is supporting all of them, it was even reported he is getting mega $$$ from ET paid through a third party! Poor Larry! He is the one with integrity. He refused to make a deal with Howard. Now even if the DNA comes out that he's the father, Howard will fight for the baby and you know our justice system, he could win custody! Of course he is delaying the results so he can say the baby has bonded with him. His sis is there to provide a mommy figure for the baby. COME ON! Where is it fair that the real father can't even see his baby! POOR LARRY! And as far as Virgie goes, any mother would try her best to get her child off drugs. SHe is being portrayed as a witch, and it was HOWIE not her who allowed ET to tape Anna's funeral! She is getting a bad rap. Notice Anna was badmouthing her mom while she was high on drugs and with Howie by her side. ANYONE WHO OBJECTED TO ANNA'S DRUG USE WAS BANNED FROM HER LIFE. I think Vergie should go for custody if (and I doubt it) Larry is not the father. MY GOD, let the grandmother see the child! And let this baby get to know her real father. Think about it. What other motive than money would Howie have for delaying the DNA test? Even if he knows Larry's the father he probably could've arranged to be part of the baby's life if he didn't pull this shenanigans. A normal, upstanding guy would've put the baby's interest FIRST. But then he wouldn't get the cash....Everyone can see through you Howie ~ every moment you delay you are hurting the baby you profess to love. SICKENING is what this situation is!
