Apparently. She had also reportedly been ill with a stomach bug and temp was very high at one point. Didn't she reportedly have pneumonia a short while back?

[Dihannah1]

Ok,  I really don't like HKS,  she supposedly fell in the tub the other day, there was no water in the tub, supposedly where the small bruise on her back came from.  She also had a 105 degree temp. and they put her in a tub of ice to get it down.  If she was so sick and just recovering from pneumonia, why wasn't she taken to the hospital!?  Wouldn't the nurse, for ethical reasons, call an ambulance at that point?  

If they were so broke and had to sell pics of Anna, Daniel and the baby for $850,000 to pay for his furneral, why were they in FL. buying a yacht?

If Howard cared about her and the baby, he should have had her in rehab, getting heavy duty therapy.  She wasn't able to care for that baby in her drug induced state all the time, that HE kept her in.  She was still mourning her son's death too.  She needed help!  That bastard!  If the'scripts were for him, he should have kept them away and hidden them from a admitted and obvious drug addict.  

Methadone is only prescribed to heroin addicts, so what was HE or she doing with it and how? Even if it's true prescriptions were written for him to protect her privacy, what Dr. would prescribe methadone? If even this was accidental overdose, he should be held responsible and I hope it haunts him the rest of his life!

Anna's Mom Meets with Bahamian Police

Filed under: Anna Nicole Smith

TMZ has obtained exclusive photos of Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, on her way out of a Bahamian police station just hours after she arrived in the Bahamas.

Arthur scheduled the emergency trip to the islands to "check all her options" in the custody battle over her granddaughter, Dannielynn -- this according to a close family friend who is currently on the trip.

According to our source, "Virgie is very concerned for the safety and well-being of her granddaughter. The man who has custody of Dannielynn (Howard K. Stern) was with her daughter and grandson Daniel when they died ... under mysterious circumstances. All she cares about is the welfare of the baby."

Virgie's arrival in the Bahamas was first reported by the TV show "EXTRA."

[Dihannah1]

Uh oh, I pray they are not legally married in the Bahamas.  But still if he's proven to be the father, he still can't touch the money?

Report: Howard K. Stern Executor of Anna's Will

ET is reporting that Anna Nicole Smith did, in fact, have a will. According to the show, it was written before the death of her son Daniel and the birth of daughter Dannielynn -- and names Howard K. Stern as the executor.

The document reportedly named Daniel as her sole heir, but now that she had a daughter, Dannielynn is, as of now, Anna's closest next of kin.

A family law expert tells TMZ that disposition will get sticky depending on what happens with the paternity suit and whether or not Anna and Howard's Bahamian commitment ceremony is deemed legally binding by a probate court. One complex issue is that Howard cannot legally be the executor and a beneficiary of the will.

Anna's complicated legal woes have followed her to the morgue.

Here's a video of a room that was the similar to the one Anna was in at the Hard Rock.  It goes for $1250 a night.

This is the musical earworm you are hearing and thinking of now. Same story, different person.

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road

Goodbye norma jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye norma jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our marilyn monroe

[Dihannah1]

Yes, that song is very fitting for AN too.  Too bad kids were involved this time  

[Dihannah1]

Greta is doing a one on one interview with Examiner Perper right now.

[Dihannah1]

I didn't know AN mom used to be a Deputy Sheriff.  

[Dihannah1]

Fox news just brought up Natalee case up!  They said Bahama is saying they don't  want bad publicity like in her case.   They aren't liking all the media down thier searching for the baby.  They just want this over.[/b]

[Dihannah1]

Was she really that lonely to have slept with so many men and tell them they were the father?  (I don't believe the Prince's story)

Locks Changed on Anna's Bahamian Hideaway
Posted Feb 9th 2007 9:32PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Anna Nicole Smith

TMZ has obtained a photo of a locksmith arriving at the home in the Bahamas where Anna Nicole Smith lived with her lawyer-turned-lover Howard K. Stern and her daughter Dannielynn.



According to sources the owner of the home, G. Ben Thompson, arrived in the Bahamas today and is actually staying at the house. Sources say he was the one who ordered the lock change. Anna and Thompson have been involved in a legal battle over who rightfully owns the home. Anna had claimed that Thompson gave her the home as a gift, which Thompson denies.

Thompson was once romantically involved with Smith and claims she told him he was the father of her baby. Thompson says he put a quick end to Smith's claim when he informed her that he had a vasectomy several years ago.[/b]

I personally don't much care for Anna's attorney/companion, Howard Stern, but I care even less for the paternity lawsuit initiated by Larry Birkhead.  I've never before heard of this type of action, and it might indeed be unprecedented.  Paternity lawsuits are in my experience exclusively brought against men who DENY paternity, for purposes of compelling payment of child support.  Such cause of action is for the protection of the CHILD, a compelling public policy interest.  In this case, we have a man (Birkhead) CLAIMING paternity against a biological and custodial mother and presumptive father who both DENY it, for purposes of SELF-enrichment.  This is clearly contrary to public policy.  Frankly, I can't see how the court could in good conscience entertain this.  

If Birkhead's motions are granted and dendendants are compelled to produce the child for DNA testing, who then would not be at risk?  Any man would thus be empowered to challenge the paternity of any child at any time, and under the slightest pretext.  We could have 100 million men in the U.S. contesting the paternity of Bill Gates' children, for example.  Such impositions on familial integrity could hardly be considered beneficial to the children at the center of controversy.  In protecting the interests of children, therefore, the courts should recognize a strong presumption of dispositiveness in considering birth records where both the biological mother and presumptive father agree on paternity.  As in the instant case, where subject and defendants are outside the jurisdiction of the court, grounds for dismissal are all the more compelling.

Dihannah1 - You mentioned methadone above, as being only prescribed for heroin addicts. I don't KNOW a thing about it, but one of our Front Page posters mentioned a day or two ago that he used methadone daily (as prescribed) for pain. Apparently it is a good substitute for other, more problematic narcotic drugs, for long term use.

(And yes, I know it is often used to aid heroin addicts during withdrawal.)

However - recent reports we have seen do not name methadone as being among the drugs in the room, unless I missed something. (Or don't know one drug from another, which is possible.) I've seen "Valium and antibiotics" mentioned, and OTC flu and cold items.

I'm not trying to pick on you. Just a personal crusade - I think a lot of ill-founded rumors and assumptions got into the "news" in this case. One I remember is that she collapsed in a casino ...

And someone out there would know better than I, but if she had a 105 fever (as I have read) and had "something like flu" for several days - shouldn't she have been in a hospital? Seems to me that 105 is a pretty high fever for an adult.

One thing for sure: If she had that kind of fever, she must have been feeling terrible and very weak. I'm guessing that her illness was the reason an RN was in the entourage. Apparently not a very good alternative to being hospitalized.

[darleenofalabama]

It is true that methadone is being prescribed, in some cases, for severe pain; severe arthritis, for instance.  As for the 105 degree fever--well, I would think that any moron would have known to get her to a hospital immediately.

[San]

Well that moron Howard K. Stern didn't get her to a hospital so in my book that makes him a murderer.

Everyone knows when an adult person has a high fever it is not good.  I don't give a shit that she had a private nurse because in the end what did that nurse do for her.  Why wasn't 911 called immediately.

[Leslie]

The guy is a POS!
I think Howard was away from the hotel finalising the purchase of that boat.  The nurse called Howard before she called 911.  Doesn't that sound like their relationship in a nutshell?  While ANS was sick, feverish and alone in the $1,200 a night hotel room, her boyfriend was out spending her money on a frivalous toy that, he said, was being bought for the benefit of Danilyne as if they really intended on bringing a baby onboard to sail the seas.   Even though the nurse was being paid with ANS's money - Howard had to be notified to (probably) give his permission before the "nurse" would do the logical thing and call 911.
 
I saw Anderson Cooper, last night, asking a know-nothing talking head about the existence of a Will and this moron said that there would not have been one because ANS was only in her 30's and had been sick so who would think of a Last Will and Testament at such a time?  AC reacted with disbelief at this ridiculous opinion and rightfully so; it seems there is a will (most people with children, money and health issues are advised by their lawyer to have one)and that Howard is the executor.  

I also heard that Howard's sister and mother were in The Bahamas at the same time as ANS's mother.  I like her mother and hope she gets the baby and takes her home to Texas.

I was not going to get drawn into this drama, but now I am so disgusted by this a..hole Howard, I want to know all!   Let's hope that he is not the biological father of Dani and that the Will is found to have been made and signed while AN was not competent.  I guess he could fool a doped up AN but the eyes of the world are on him now and he is NOT going to get away with this crime.

[msmarple]

There is a charge, something like "homicide by neglect" ... negligent homicide ...

Seriously, I never paid much attention to ANS, but something is definitely NOT RIGHT here. And so much legal wrangling into some unchartered waters ...

I say Stern wanted to keep that baby on international waters, away from a DNA test.

SteveDinMD - Hi, welcome to SM! You raise an interesting point. However, the Gates DO have a recognized marriage. ANS & Stern, on the other hand ... ??? Just one of the many slippery slopes in this case.

I wonder about births "without benefit of clergy" ... I don't know what kind of rules apply IN THIS COUNTRY (probably vary) when it comes to filling in that blank for Father's Name: ????

Seems like the mother couldn't just name someone; in this day and age, surely a paternity test would be required?

And maybe that's why Stern whisked her off to The Bahamas for the birth ... and maybe he was keeping her addled with small amounts of something on a constant basis so he could manipulate her. Just speculating.

[Frijole]

Another thing I will say for Larry Birkhead is that he initiated the paternity test request BEFORE ANS's death.  I believe he did it because ANS told  him when they were still together that he is the father.

Mysteriously she left Larry and fled to the Bahamas with her very strange attorney to camp out until the birth of the child.  So in my mind Larry wanted the testing done because he wanted to be a part of the childs' life and not an inheritance leech.

As  for Howard Stern... gag me with a spoon.  This guy is a complete loser.  Doesn't have any clients - just Anna who he married in some unofficial ceremony within HOURS of her son's death.  It smells to high heaven.

[mishy]

Well that moron Howard K. Stern didn't get her to a hospital so in my book that makes him a murderer.

Everyone knows when an adult person has a high fever it is not good.  I don't give a shit that she had a private nurse because in the end what did that nurse do for her.  Why wasn't 911 called immediately.

I heard that the nurse was married to her bodyguard, and that may have been the reason she was there, plus ANS was very ill, apparently. I agree she should have been in the hospital. If she had, she might well be alive right now.

RE: Larry Birkhead...it is possible that he's initiating paternity tests because he wants to be a father to this baby. Obviously he's alot more "together" than ANS or HStern...and if he is the father, he may be the only stable influence in the life of little Dannielynn...So, if he's the father, I'm all for him finding out!!
