Maurice Brighthaupt (also called Big Moe) testified yesterday that he saw Howard K. Stern inject drugs into Anna Nicole Smith five times. He saw Smith inject herself twice and Eroshevich injected her once. Moe said that Eroshevich was concerned that Smith would overdose. And that’s the reason Eroshevich wrote her so many prescriptions. She was afraid Anna Nicole would OD. Huh?
Steven Sadow, Stern’s attorney told press outside the court house that any injections given would have been a B-12 shot and not drugs. Hmm why? Because Howard K. Stern said so?
Today as prosecutors tried to bring up a photograph depicting Anna Nicole and Dr. Eroshevich having sexual relations as a motive for supplying Smith with huge quantities of drugs, LA Superior Court Judge Robert Perry shot it down.”This is a preliminary hearing,” Perry said. “It’s not a trial. It’s to determine if there’s probable cause for a trial. I’m just not going to turn this into some circus sideshow.” That’s ok Judge. One of the defendants already did before she died.
Larry Birkhead has been riding the talk show circuit in anticipation of being scheduled to testify in todays hearing. He appeared on the “Today Show” this morning and “Access Hollywood”. Larry said, “Howard has been kinder to me than some of Anna’s family members” and, “I’d be totally shocked’ if Howard K. Stern was guilty of hurting Anna Nicole Smith”. Its hard for Birkhead to get through an interview without a jab at Anna’s family.
What a far cry from Birkhead’s tearful testimony during the Florida Burial Hearing.
Birkhead: “You don’t know how many times I had to help her and to carry her back and forth to make sure she was OK. Sometimes I didn’t even know if she was going to live. And they kept bringing more and more drugs into the house.”
Now before any of Birkhead’s testimony hits the news wires, I have decided that he deserves an award for his performance. I do hereby bestow “The Flopping Fish Award” to Larry Birkhead. Enjoy Larry, you deserve the honor more than anyone in this story.
None the less, I believe this case will go to trial. With this much sensationalism in just the prelim, the trial should be very interesting.

I love the flopping fish! Anna’s family haven’t been ALLOWED to help him in any way.
Hi Carole.Isn’t that sad? I also read where Moe said Howard did not want Anna to go to rehab. That’s twice he refused to help her. The last one resulted in her death. Or maybe it could be three times because Howard was on the phone and too busy to pull Anna out of the bottom of the pool. What if Big Moe had been out of hearing range, or in the shower? Would Howard have jumped in? Naw, he was too busy on the phone.
I think Howard should have several more charges leveled at him. He also wouldn’t let the doctor the hotel sent see her. I ask you, why would anyone be ashamed to say they had the flu?
I do understand the need for seclusion, however, if she were being detoxed. I would hate to be loved as much as Howard loved her!
…and I’m starting to believe ‘blondes’ have been grossly underestimated.
Even the ‘Highlights.’
Chucks, everyone knows that “Highlights” will always be the best.
Even that floppin’ fish knows ‘the difference.’
