sorry, TexKat, i didn’t see your 17033 post or i would have appended to it...
just to clarify..below is my pretty pitiful attempt at transcribing Opri’s statements on HeadlinePrime/showbiz tonite 4/03/07 interview. she was talking reallyyyfast..so I didn’t get all of it but here’s what I did manage to get:
(p.s., i bet Harvey over on TMZ, has got to be embarrassed that his “source” set him up, and since the other networks ran with his story, I’d imagine they will also be pretty sheepish on their redacts, too)
OPRI:
MY CLIENT HOLDS AN ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIV ...HAS NOT ALLOWED ME TO DEFEND MYSELF....I HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION...ETHICS AS HIGH AS I CAN MAKE THEM
WHATEVER BILL IS OUT THERE, I AM TELLING THE PUBLIC AND WHOEVER, THAT THE BILL THAT WAS LEAKED IT MAY BE ALTERED, IT MAY BE INCOMPLETE, THE BACKUP INFO WAS INACCURATE....(something about what was shown on tv as ‘backup documents’ were ‘not real’)... COULD ONLY COME FROM A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE...AND WHOEVER IS ATTEMPTING TO ASASSINATE MY CHARACTER I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT
I’M TELLING EVERYONE, I’M BEING VERY VERY CLEAR ABOUT IT..I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO CALL ME (lists some names she’s been called on various networks ) OR ‘MARIE ANTIONETTE’..IT WAS INCOMPLETE, IT WAS A LIE, IT WAS MANIPULATED AND IT WAS DEFAMITORY
(end interview)
Hmm....Maybe Howard hired that new attorney as a Defense Attorney.

AP-MIAMI - One doctor authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room ...More than 600 pills — including about 450 muscle relaxants — were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old, according to information obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request....
Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend of the starlet’s, authorized all the prescription medications in the Hollywood, Fla., hotel room...
The powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate, the medication blamed with tipping the balance in the toxic mix of drugs and causing her death, was prescribed Jan. 2. About two-thirds of the bottle was gone, according to the medical examiner’s records. The records also show 62 tablets of the anti-anxiety drug Valium were missing from a prescription less than two weeks old ...
Most of the drugs were prescribed in the name of Howard K. Stern, her lawyer-turned-companion, and none were prescribed in Smith’s own name, according to documents. Perper has said all the drugs were meant for Smith.
Information released by Perper’s office shows eight of the prescriptions were issued under Stern’s name; one under Eroshevich’s name; and two were under the name of Alex Katz. It was unclear if Katz was an alias or the name of someone connected to Smith.
The records show Smith had three prescriptions for muscle relaxants in her hotel room: two for carisoprodol, prescribed Jan. 2 and Jan. 26, and one for methocarbamol, under the brand name Robaxin, prescribed Jan. 2. Some 415 of the carisoprodol pills were missing from their containers as well as 33 of the Robaxin pills, according to the documents.
Also missing were 79 tablets of the anti-seizure medications Topomax and Klonopin; and at least two dozen diuretics, antibiotics, antivirals and potassium supplements.
The newly disclosed documents did not mention the strong painkiller methadone or the anti-anxiety pill Ativan, both of which were found in Smith’s system. Also missing from the report was disclosure on who prescribed human growth hormone...
Didn’t somebody contact her publicist who indicated that the bill was in line and that Opri would get paid? I thought I saw that on TMZ.
Thanks for that transcription - you did good. Sounds like DO may be preparing for a lawsuit of her own.....
Thank you! I’ve been looking all day for a transcript - nothing has shown up yet.
I saw the interview and frankly when she made comments like a limited numberof people, etc., I think she was talking in circles and not really saying the total on the bill wasn’t correct.
