NEW YORK - For years, Big Moe protected Anna Nicole Smith and fully supported Howard K. Stern. Now, days after an investigation was opened into the death of the former Playboy playmate, Big Moe tells Access Hollywood he feels betrayed by Howard.

“It’s gotten to the point where I had to say something,” Big Moe told Access Hollywood’s Tony Potts on Tuesday. “I’ve been called a thief and that angers me. . . . I’ve been harassed.”

“By whom?” Potts asked. “By [Howard’s attorney] Lin Wood and Howard,” he replied. “[They’ve been] sending letters, sending threatening letters.”

Once singing praises for Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole’s longtime bodyguard Big Moe, now claims Stern is launching a smear campaign against him.

“Has there been pressure on you in the last eight months from Howard to keep you quiet?” Potts asked.

“It hasn’t been just Howard. Of course, they don’t want nothing coming out,” Moe says

Last week, Stern appeared on the “Larry King Live” show alongside Lin Wood. Moe claims Stern insinuated he leaked recently released photos of Anna Nicole Smith, including one where she appeared to have vomit dripping down her chin.
“He’s gotten on TV [and] called me a thief and a liar,” Moe said. “[He said he] knew I was distributing pictures that should have never been taken in the first place of Anna.

“It’s like a diversion tactic to me,” Moe continued. “Instead of suing and trying to find out who’s selling pictures and who’s calling you gay ...” he trailed off.As for those allegations within Rita Cosby’s book that claim Larry Birkhead and Stern were lovers, a claim they both deny, Moe, who has worked alongside Stern since 2003, said he never saw anything of that nature.

“I never saw a video, but I can’t be sure it didn’t happen,” he said. “I’ve never seen it.”

“Did you see any behavior that would suggest Howard is gay?” Potts asked.

“I have never seen any behavior that says Howard Stern is gay, but you know, I’m not with him 24/7,” Moe answered.

It was settled for $150,000, is what I read way back then - not too long after Anna Nicole died. I’ll have to get back to you on the details when I can find them in my notes.

Yeah. I’m wracking my brain over that. Maybe Dr Levy, for one. And we still haven’t heard from the “real” doctor for Daniel, whoever that might have been - Kapoor denied ever treating him, after ANS said Kapoor prescribed something for him.

Maybe some specific pharmacist at Key Pharmacy who enabled ANS or KE or maybe HKS. Also, whichever “former employee” of Anna’s whose ‘scrip’s for anti-dep’s Daniel had. Not sure if that might be Kimmie or Frankie or someone else.

Still thinking on this. Remember, it’s still just doctor and prescription-related at this point. I know they can “go” other “places,” but it’s too soon for that right now.

IOW, don’t think it’s the Santa Monica apt or Anna’s/Dannielynn’s Studio City house - yet.

Add Taz’s statement...”I think I got setup” to Moe’s stuff. Threatening letters by Lin Wood sent to Moe? Moe...I think you have a case!!

Moe had an epiphany - Howie misjudged him - he saw loyalty as stupid. And Moe did look stupid in those early interviews - trying to be supportive of Howard, he stammered for just the right words - it was very awkward.

Now the truth will set him free.

Not irrational exuberance, but measured optimism.

Greta is showing her cards!!

She has removed Virgie’s and Taz’s videos.
She has left Brikheads *loved her too much* parts 2 &3
She has added Liz Thompson *New tape authentic?*
She has added *New Trouble for Rita?*
She has added *Lincoln Bain Speaking Out*

Pretty clear where she’s placing her bets - *babydaddyboys*

almost forgot to tell you all about a video I saw on Showbiz tonite on, I think, Sunday nite - it was ANS at the VHI awards.

Behind her and to her left was LB - you can see him kinda comb his fingers thru the right side of his hair, then he ducks out of sight behind ANS (but he is a little distance behind her)

Then he pops up, and as ANS moves to the right, he also moves, so he ends up shoulder to shoulder with a dark-haired behind ANS - as ANS moves, so he moves. When he can’t move anymore, he goes to blow a bubble with the gum he’s chewing - you can see his tongue pushing the gum out, and then, just before blowing a bubble, he pulls the gum back in, and then gets this big guilty grin on his face - it’s kinda obvious that he knew he ‘stole’ the moment

For someone who’s claimed prior to Anna’s death that he always wanted to be in the background, it struck me as immediately blatant attention-grabbing.

I’ve seen cuts of ANS at the VHI awards, but never saw this particular part of the tapes.

I wish Showbiz had links to their nightly videos so I could link to show you what I saw

Has anyone else seen this clip?

Ian Halperin - Hollywood Undercover - Interview

Ian Halperin
Hollywood Undercover
Interview
Hollywood Undercover: revealing the sordid secrets of tinsel town.

Terms like exposé and investigative journalism carry a certain stigma that many instantly question. So when asked to interview the author of a book called ‘Hollywood undercover: revealing the sordid secrets of tinsel town’ forgive me for thinking that this might be a kiss and tell account of self inflated egos and sexual conquests.

Thankfully it turned out not to be.

Hollywood undercover is a candid and intelligent look at the fame game from an insider’s point of view. Ian Halperin blagged his way through auditions, casting calls and film sets posing as an aspiring gay actor. Along the way he appeared in The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorcese, uncovered anti-Semitism in Hollywood, infiltrated the Church of Scientology and met numerous celebrities including; Anna Nicole Smith, Sigourney Weaver, Barbra Streisand and Leonardo DiCaprio - All with no real plan or experience of acting.

I started getting cast from very early on without any acting experience, not even a high school play - because I dressed so crazily and because I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Ian’s look at the fame game is one of education not voyeuristic embellishment. Anyone can document even second guess what has become this parodied industry, but dissecting the complex intricacies based on empirical findings is hard to do.

To me Hollywood is to acting, what professional wrestling is to sport.

If you weed out all the sleazebags there are a lot of legit people in Hollywood and all you have to do is get rid of these con artists.

A purveyor of meaning and substance his thoughts on the power struggle that resides firmly between the big wigs in Hollywood is intriguing. Money is power and with the droves of actors and actresses that migrate to Hollywood trying to succeed, it’s shocking to read how used and abused they are.

It’s a complete power struggle; it’s not just who you know but who you blow.

One guy bragged to me that he could never get laid in high school or college but since he became an “Agent/Producer” he’d bedded more women than Nick cage, Al Pacino and Brad Pitt put together. He also said he won’t even look at someone unless they suck his dick and this is typical of Hollywood, it’s filled with sleazy stories.

An infotainment look at what some shun as being trashy, Ian paints a scientific picture of the industry without being pretentious- although he did give himself a pseudonym ‘His highness’ which really opened doors for his cause.

People became obsessed with the notion that I was Royalty. I’d get the top tables in Hollywood and get access to all the top actors, models and auditions.

Along the way he made a string of celebrity connections, but the one which has brought the most exposure is the late Anna Nicole Smith, which obscurely resulted in them making love at Marilyn Monroe’s grave - although Ian was quick to correct any sensationalist claims made about the relationship.

I had this very beautiful, poetic, symbiotic relationship with Anna and we met several times and she was definitely a sad case.

She contributed all her success to Howard K Stern but she called him a modern day svengali.

Surrounding her untimely death at the age of 39, Ian also recalls how she envisaged dieing young.

I thought she was talking out of paranoia but she did tell once that she was in fear for her life and that she thought she would die and looking back now it’s pretty powerful how she described it and how she thought she’d die young.

Apart from the celebrity element of the book - Hollywood undercover also documents the infiltration of the church of Scientology where he spent several weeks in the church. This controversial and guarded subject has raised a lot of debate over the years and the experiences he had certainly will add to this.

Scientology portrays itself as a religion and even Time magazine accused it as being a hugely profitable global racket that survives by intimidating members and critics in a mafia type manner, to me that was powerful and I wanted to see how that really worked.

They were reluctant to let me shoot but I convinced them that my uncle who was very rich might be interested in investing tens of millions of dollars into the church if I thought it was a viable product.

And they said ok, we’ve never let anyone film before but they signed the release and let me shoot.

Whilst inside he also uncovered the openly homophobic slant that the church had.

When I told them I was gay they told me that they could de-programme my homosexuality though a technique called auditing and that was one of the first times that they admitted on record that they could do that.

It’s this link between the supposed accumulation of Hollywood real estate by the church that neatly ties it into the greed and corruption of Hollywood.

Scientology controls Hollywood, which I find pretty scary.

The church owns a lot of property and land and if movie executives want to make a film they have to play ball.

These levels of depravity make it increasingly hard for actors and actresses to make a career on talent alone. Something which Ian saw first hand:

Unfortunately there are people who are genuinely trying to make it and they haven’t got a hope in hell because they play it straight.

There was one woman I met in an acting class who was so depressed, she was shooting heroin under her toenails or under her tongue to hide track marks. Because you’re not going to get cast if you come in and you’re got track marks all over you.

She claimed she’d been raped several times by casting agents and was scared she’d never work again if she filed charges.

This is just one example of how crooked showbiz is, where in a multi billion dollar industry: talent, perseverance and luck can’t help you become who you want to be.

The stories don’t end there with talk about the infamous Hollywood sign and its contrasting façade. On the one hand it represents the glitz and glamour of show business but on the other it has this dark draw to it by failed actors.

They’ve recently put a fence around the Hollywood sign and that’s because all these kids have gone out their, spent their life savings pursuing their dreams and jumped off it to their deaths.

There are people waiting to prey on you and take all your money with big business cards that haven’t produced anything, then they lure you into prostitution, drugs and milk them for everything they have.

With such a widespread and in depth look at show business the book is almost a Michelin guide on what to look out for and avoid in Hollywood. It’s not just for wannabe starlets or those interested in the movie industry either. The first hand experiences and investigative journalism slant Ian has taken is commendable and shows that he’s not just in it for the money, but deeply compelled to warn others.

I don’t worry about what people think of me. I wanted to contribute to educating the public, if I can help a few people avoid misery I’ve done my job.

with previews like you’re describing, I don’t see why HKS is worried about any old book.....imagine the day DL learns her maternal step-grandfather was a ‘rapist’. They just Love! to label Virgie with it, tho, over and over and over, but there’s not a single word of objection from either HKS or LB or his entire family. Disgusting.

remember back a while ago there was some commotion about LB being paid for photoshoots if he was in them with DL, that she was ‘the prop’? Maybe he learned that trick from HKS - maybe the babyreunion, etc, pics were of HKS, not ‘the prop’ DL ? therefore no income for DL? speculation

Unfortunately, it’s not one of the “steps,” it’s the bio grandfather - Anna’s father.
