Oct 7 2009Anna Nicole Smith investigated for murder
The FBI investigated Anna Nicole Smith for plotting to have the son of her late husband murdered but she was never prosecuted, according to newly released files. The AP reports:
Smith's FBI records, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, say the agency investigated Smith in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep the starlet, model and stripper from collecting his father's oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. The younger Marshall died three years ago of natural causes.
The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II's estate. Vast sections of the 100 pages of released materials -- a fraction of Smith's full FBI file -- are whited out, and no evidence of her involvement in such a plot is detailed.
The FBI files show a .357-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver was confiscated from Smith's home, along with a 3 1/2-inch stainless steel knife and, for reasons that were not explained, a black and orange hat described as "Dr. Seuss." All three objects were returned to her about seven months later.
Of course, it's no surprise the FBI let Anna Nicole off the hook. Spend two minutes talking to the woman and it'd be immediately obvious she couldn't plot the making of a sandwich with two pieces of bread stuck to each hand. Then again, the mere fact the FBI suspected the involvement of a "Dr. Seuss" hat, makes me wonder if Anna Nicole outsmarted us all. You know, by dying so no one could press charges. Clever girl...

Mar 13 2009Howard K. Stern arrested for illegally furnishing Anna Nicole Smith drugs
Because justice is fast, lightning fast, the late Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend/lawyer Howard K. Stern and two other doctors have been charged with illegally furnishing her "thousands of prescription pills" up until her death in 2007, according to the AP:
Howard K. Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were released late Thursday after posting $20,000 bond. Charges include conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict, authorities said.
"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement Thursday. His office was expected to release more details about the case at a news conference Friday.
Prosecutors said the doctors gave thousands of prescription drugs -- including opiates and sedatives -- to Stern, who then gave them to Smith.
Hey, there was a "legitimate medical purpose" - to keep her crazy. How else could Howard K. Stern use her money and/or have the sex? Pfft. City Hall. What do they know?

Jun 23 2008Larry Birkhead buys Anna Nicole Smith's lingerie - for Dannielynn (That's not creepy.)
Larry Birkhead, like any widowed father, wants to make sure daughter Dannielynn has something to remember her mother Anna Nicole Smith by. Unfortunately, this sentiment involves buying two pieces of lingerie that Anna Nicole wore during a Playboy shoot. Did I mention one of them was ridiculously stained? Because it is. It's like you can see the memories. *sigh* The AP reports:
"I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn't really know about," Birkhead told The Associated Press. "Playboy was such a big part of Anna's career."
Birkhead bought a pink bustier for $1,800 and a white negligee for $1,000 at the auction, run by Julien's Auctions and held at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
A lot of people will say Dannielynn was doomed the day she was born to Anna Nicole. Or, depending on your religious beliefs, the day she was conceived by way of Jesus and a turkey baster. To each his own. But, as for me, I'm going to go ahead and say Dannielynn had a chance until the moment Larry Birkhead said "Oh my God, is that a stain? This is so going in your play room."
Mar 11 2008Ashton Kutcher ripped off Anna Nicole Smith
Ashton Kutcher's new show Pop Fiction is strikingly similar to an idea Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern pitched to E! programming execs back in 2004. So similar, in fact, that Anna Nicole is planning to sue from beyond the grave. TMZ reports:
Ashton's show sounds like a carbon of Anna's treatment -- "...what happens if Anna Nicole Smith and other celebrities turn the tables and capitalize off of the overzealous media? What if the next big supposed scandal is not a scandal at all? What if everything is staged, but the media (and the public) don't know it?" It continues, Anna Nicole and other celebrity guests take aim at the media and push all the limits."
It's news, and not to mention pictures, like this that make me wish Ashton Kutcher OD'd instead of Anna Nicole. One of them brought joy and happiness to the world with incredible product placement while the other is a complete douche-nozzle. For the record, these are photos of Anna Nicole on MTV Australia from 2005. They're pretty random, to say the least, but I posted them anyway because I'm the Blogging Jesus. In the meantime, I'm not even going to comment on her mouth except to say the Joker really wants it back.
NOTE: That last bit had absolutely nothing to do with Heath Ledger. Despite my best efforts.

Mar 6 2008Anna Nicole Smith biopic trailer
If you've studied the Kübler-Ross model at all (and who hasn't?), you know that tragedy is typically dealt with in a multi-stage process known as the Five Stages of Grief, consisting of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The issue with this model, however, is that while it does well to describe most grieving, it completely omits the rare sixth stage--an exclusive to celebrity deaths: the low-budget biopic. How can we move on unless we've seen a condensed, over-dramatized portrayal of their life, played out by D-list actors on the budget of a compact car? Continue Reading »

Mar 5 2008Anna Nicole Smith's daughter officially her heir
Dannielynn Smith is officially the heir of her late mother Anna Nicole Smith, according to a court ruling yesterday. Anna Nicole's will had only listed her late son Daniel as a heir, but it also stated that her fortune should be divided equally between any other future children. The AP reports:
Dannielynn could inherit millions of dollars if the estate wins an ongoing court fight over the oil fortune of Smith's late second husband, J. Howard Marshall. Smith at one point won a $474 million judgment but it was eventually reduced to zero. In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated her claim, but Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that Marshall didn't include anything for Smith in his will.
It's comforting to know that whether or not Dannielynn becomes the richest baby on two wheels, her daddy Larry Birkhead will always love her - by pimping her out for tabloid photo shoots so he never has to work again. Damn, that's touching. It kind of makes me want to call my dad and tell him I love him. *yells upstairs* DAD! HEY, DAD! I LOVE YOU, MAN! MOVE OUT? HA! YOU OLD SOFTIE! GET DOWN HERE AND GIVE ME A HUG! Hey, Pop - wow, that's a gun.
Feb 8 2008Anna Nicole Smith: It's been a year already?
It seems like only yesterday Anna Nicole Smith died creating an insane media circus that would later be dwarved by the media Death Star known as Britney Spears. Anyway, on this one year anniversary of her death, let's remember Anna Nicole Smith as the patriot she truly was. She defied modern convention by getting really, really enormous breast implants then bilked an old billionaire out of all his cash. Anna would later be found dead of a mysterious drug overdose that would make a young Sam Lutfi scratch his douche-beard and say "Huh. Now there's an idea..." Rest in Peace, Anna Nicole. You're truly missed.
