Police Question Doctor in Connection to Smith's Death (10/11/06) - (Is this the same doctor who prescribed the huge bottle of Methadone to Anna?)
Police investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel Smith are interviewing a Californian doctor in connection to the incident last month. The 20-year-old died on September 10 after having a heart attack brought on by a lethal combination of antidepressants and methadone. Authorities in the Bahamas traveled to the US to question Daniel's doctor along with three other people, after he died in the Nassau, Bahamas, hospital where his reality TV star mother had given birth to baby daughter Dannielynn just three days before. Reginald Ferguson, assistant commissioner for the Royal Bahamas Police Force says, "We don't have any information to cause us to change our statement that no criminality was involved." Ferguson declined to comment on who else the officers interviewed while in California. He says, "You're looking for anything you can find that can be evaluated as part of the evidence. You don't look for anything particular, you go to uncover what might have taken place." Police are expected to complete their investigation soon, possibly as early as next week, before authorities determine whether a jury inquest into the death is necessary

Anna Nicole Smith Lawsuit Alleges Drug Abuse (10/4/06)
The photojournalist claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter alleges in court documents that Smith was taking methadone and is hiding out in the Bahamas to keep her baby from being tested for drugs. Larry Birkhead filed court papers in Los Angeles on Monday, attempting to establish paternity and obtain legal custody of the child. Birkhead began legal proceedings after learning that Smith's close friend and attorney Howard K. Stern, who she wed in a commitment ceremony last Thursday, is also claiming to be the father. The lawsuit alleges Smith was taking methadone, which is normally used to treat heroin addiction, and that Stern has been facilitating her habit. Birkhead also claims Smith is hiding out in the Bahamas to keep her baby from being tested for drugs. He says Stern is claiming to be the baby's father for his own financial gain and that Smith had asked a third unidentified man to say that he was the father of her child - a plan which he says didn't work out because the man had already had a vasectomy. Birkhead requested in his petition that Smith and her daughter undergo drug testing. According to Birkhead's attorney, Debra Opri, "The public will be very surprised when they learn of the details of the lifestyle this baby is going to be faced with if she remains in the current situation." Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel Smith died of a heart attack on September 10 caused by a lethal combination of antidepressants and methadone, three days after Smith gave birth to her daughter.

Anna Nicole On The Hunt For A Daddy (5/31/02)
Anna Nicole Smith's forthcoming reality TV show will offer viewers the chance to choose the father of her second child. Cameras have already started following the plus-size model in preparation for The Anna Nicole Smith Show on E! network. And she insists the show will feature her hunt for a sperm donor/boyfriend. She says, "I want to have a child so bad. No fathers, it's just going to be one-night stands." And shockingly, in the show, Anna Nicole, who already has a teenage son, admits she and her late 90-something husband J. Howard Marshall did try for a child.

Don't have one.
Oops, just saw in that LV article that the pup is named "Sugar Pie" and I called it "Sweetie Pie."
I almost wrote "Sugar Pie" but thought I was mixed up - because my late puppy was named "Sugar" and I was thinking also of Liz Taylor's dog, "Sugar."
*Sugar Pie,* it is.
What did he say?
Really.
Scarborough sent you a nasty reply?

STATEMENT MADE TODAY BY BIRKHEAD ATTORNEY DEBRA OPRI OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURTHOUSE
Statement by Larry Birkhead's Attorney Debra Opri at press conference on Thursday, October 26th outside the Los Angeles Superior Court:
"Good afternoon.
"On October 11th, this office first learned of the existence of a Bahamian birth certificate bearing the name of Howard K. Stern as the father of Dannielynn. This office immediately began inquiries and investigation into the veracity of the document and learned that as part of the application process to secure such a birth certificate, affidavits had to be prepared under penalty of perjury by the parties. Based upon the results and findings of this investigation, my client Mr. Birkhead has instructed my office to secure Bahamian counsel to file an immediate action for fraud and conspiracy based upon both Anna Nicole Smith's and Howard Stern having filed fraudulent documents with the Bahamian government. This action also involves the Registrar General and it will be up to this governmental entity to pursue any criminal investigations.
"I am proud to announce the law firm of Alexiou, Knowles and Co. has accepted this assignment. They are noble, ethical attorneys with a stellar reputation.
"As you are no doubt aware from recent developments in the Bahamas, as concerns the issue of Ms. Smith's residency, I do not think that anyone should be shocked or surprised by these recent developments.
"As we speak Anna, service of this complaint is now underway. Upon service both Ms. Smith and Mr. Stern will have 14 days to appear in person to respond to these allegations. As you can imagine, the walls are closing in.
"In addition to this filing my office has also instructed our Bahamian counsel to secure injunctive relief which will prevent Mr. Stern from holding himself out as the father of Dannielynn.
"Regarding Mr. Birkhead's paternity action here in Los Angeles, as you know, today was to be the hearing on our request for a paternity test, as well as the court's decision on Anna's challenge with the California jurisdiction. There is now a new judge that has taken over the handling of our Los Angeles paternity case. Accordingly, all matters that would have been heard today, will be the subject of a calendar conference on Monday, October 30, 2006 at 1:30 p.m... This is common and it is not out of the ordinary.
"Finally, and most importantly, because of the events that have recently and quickly transpired in the Bahamas concerning Anna's residency and property ownership issues, ongoing perjury and fraud allegations, and what we have learned may quickly become a full fledged government investigation of Anna Nicole Smith's and Howard K. Stern's actions; because of continuing rumors that she may either flee the jurisdiction or be deported, and because of reports of recommendations for an inquest concerning the death of her son due to drug issues, for which you are all aware, my office is now cooperating fully with authorities concerning what we consider a serious and potential flight risk.
"As you know, my main concern is the child. We do not want to wake up one morning and hear that she fled the Bahamas to destinations unknown.
"And while I do not anticipate that Anna Nicole Smith will be going to Disneyland here in California anytime soon, I do have every concern that she may be go to another jurisdiction with my client's child in which we will again be forced to pursue her."

Now what was it Stern is suppose to have said, "If you die, I will go to jail?"
I can see how he could have thought that.
This is all I could find for now:

Interesting "lawyer" tidbit this morning - Houston's own "The Mighty Quinn," John O'Quinn - is now representing Virgie in the body case and is already on the scene in FL as we speak.
He's known for his big-ticket medical case arguments, especially tobacco and silicone breast implants!
