Anna Nicole's Diaries Sell for $59,750
DALLAS Apr 25, 2007 (AP)— An unnamed recording company executive from Dallas has paid $59,750 for two diaries written by Anna Nicole Smith in the early 1990s.
The purchase came after the diaries failed to sell at a recent auction, said Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas.
They were put up for sale at a minimum bid of $25,000 each, and two people expressed interest in buying them, he said.
"We had two collectors who wanted to buy them, and the Dallas man took time from his busy recording schedule to be the first to send the money," Norwine said
The auction house obtained the journals and other items from an anonymous German businessman who purchased the items on the eBay Web site for more than $500,000 several weeks ago. The German businessman decided to auction the diaries after securing the publishing rights, Norwine said.
Smith's lawyer-turned-partner, Howard K. Stern, has alleged that the diaries had been stolen and should be returned to Smith's estate. Smith, 39, died Feb. 8 from a lethal combination of drugs.
Norwine said he had vetted the history of the journals and believed they were legitimately obtained by a celebrity memorabilia dealer in Los Angeles before going up for sale on eBay.
The diaries, from 1992 and 1994, cover a range of topics, from Smith's love of octogenarian oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II to concerns about her eating.

I could’ve sworn those drapes were red velvet.
LOL
OFF-TOPIC
Anyone watching the Phil Spector trial? I think this is going to be a win for justice! Prosecutor has a great opening statement - if the witnesses hold up - Phil’s going down, down, down.
Join me on this old thread - it’s the only one - started with jury selection:

So does HKS have to leave Horizons now?
I just don’t understand what claim he has to the house now. He isn’t DannieLynns father and wasn’t married to ANS? Wonder why he thinks he has the right to stay there?
Yesssssssssss!!!! Get the birth cert. fixed, get the passport, get Dannilynn and LEAVE! Don’t look back.
The Insider finally said what was wrong with Larry’s father being in the hospital.
They said it was a heart condition and that he is home now and fine, on blood thinners. Larry still hopes to be able to take Dannielynn this weekend to meet his father at their home in KY.
HKS has to give permission for his name to be taken off the birth certificate so the passport can be issued. (I really thought this had been taken care of last week, but I guess not.)
The Insider said snidely at the end “what did Larry have to give up to Virgie in order to be able to leave?” More on this is coming up in a later segment of this same show.
(After Trump takes credit for Rosie O’s departure from The View, lol.)
“””””I just don’t understand what claim he has to the house now. He isn’t DannieLynns father and wasn’t married to ANS? Wonder why he thinks he has the right to stay there?”””
Because he’s special! He is above the law! It is what Anna wanted!
Wonder what happened?Another court date or is it over.
Hurray, hurray. Guess the court didn't give Howie his wishes about a 4 week so-called transition period!
I wonder what would happen if Larry didn’t show up for the June court date (if there is one) in the Bahamas?
Me too.Looks like Vergie lost and say in this.
