February 5th is the day trial is scheduled to begin for Howard K. Stern and doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich for felony charges related to the drug overdose death of Anna Nicole Smith. Its anyone’s guess as to whether it will go forward at that time.
But, here’s a clue! America’s favorite “pimp-daddy”, Larry Birkhead made an appearance on Access Hollywood seemingly to proclaim Stern’s innocence and throw the doctors under the bus.
Even though Birkhead acknowledges that Stern “wreaked havoc” on his life, he proclaims that he would be shocked if anything “came down” saying that Stern hurt Anna Nicole or her son Daniel Wayne Smith who both died of drug overdoses.
In contrast, pathologists testified at an inquest into Daniels death that no evidence was found proving Daniel to be a drug abuser.
Birkhead, on Stern injecting Anna Nicole: Never once did I see Howard inject Anna Nicole. I think we will hear a lot of colorful things from a lot of colorful people. I did hear that was said…about Howard injecting her.. when they get cross examined, we’ll see how they hold up.
Perhaps Birkhead didn’t see it, but at the preliminary hearing for the upcoming trial, Anna Nicole’s bodyguard Maurice Brighthaupt testified that he saw Howard K. Stern cook a crushed Valium pill in a spoon and also saw him inject her four or five times in the months leading up to her death. He also saw Eroshevich inject a substance into Anna Nicole.
About the doctors who prescribed the medicines.. “they were friends of Anna Nicole, also her doctor(s). I was witness to things regarding their interaction and I think that’s probably what might be of interest in the case and some of the other things that go along with the time line.”
Mark Speer, a highly decorated retired Los Angeles County Sheriffs Deputy swore in Howard K. Stern’s lawsuit against Rita Cosby for the book Blonde Ambition, that Birkhead gave him a needle that was used to inject Anna Nicole to hold for safe keeping. He ended up taking it back after Speer spoke to the DEA about the needle and they showed no interest.
Speer testified that the finger prints of TrimSpa owner Alex Goen might be found on the needle and vial and also that he believes that Larry Birkhead was “bought off”.
In what was believed to be a last ditch attempt on Howard K. Stern’s part to silence Speer in his suit against Cosby, Stern filed a lawsuit before Speer was to give his deposition. Stern eventually dismissed the lawsuit against Speer. In a press release, Speer said, “I am delighted that the frivolous lawsuit brought against me by Howard K. Stern has appropriately been dismissed. I stand behind all the statements I have made in this case. I am glad truth prevailed.”
Stern also dismissed his lawsuit against Rita Cosby. Stern’s criminal attorney, Steven Sadow is fond of stating to the media that “settlement” terms are confidential. However, the document ending the case states that it is dismissed in its entirety without costs going to either party. Does that sound like a “settlement”?
Birkhead said there needs to be clarification as to whether you can pick up prescriptions in a different name. He said the drugs Anna Nicole used, were prescribed by doctors and “who doesn’t trust her doctor….. that’s the unfortunate thing“… He also added the conditions she was prescribed the cornucopia of drugs for were seizures, insomnia, stress and swollen hands.
Birkhead did not volunteer to testify and said he was served a subpoena. “A lot of people think I was called to testify against Howard. I don’t like to say I am testifying for or against anyone. I just take the truth and either side can dissect that and do whatever they want and see where it fits in for them.”
Birkhead continued the media blitz tactics that he and Stern are being accused of and sued for in Harris County Texas by Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole’s mother.
I was simply 
ing for my daughter, when I went to court everyday, I was not ing for some of the things that people around Anna Nicole were ing for that were going on around her, whether its money or attention or whatever. I simply…when I got my daughter, I laid down my gun, if you will, and said this is what I’m going to do for my daughter… I’m going to be positive and anyone that’s positive around me, I’m going to let into Dannielynn’s life and my life. I said that on the stand a couple of years back and I still stay strong on that and Howard of all people, has actually been kinder to me than some of Anna’s own family members and he has actually helped me through a lot of things that I would not have known, whether it was estate related, or whatever. Its actually become an odd type of friendship but it is there and I tried… but that does not mean that if I have to say something that I know about… I’m not going to try to change my story…you want to get in there and prove your point and make sure your case is strong.
And if you want to see Birkhead’s actual testimony there is a bunch of video from the burial hearing right here.
At the end of the interview, it was clear that Birkhead was trying to make excuses for his testimony which changed from the time of the battle over Anna Nicole’s body in 2007 until now. We will explore that more when the trial actually starts.
This was a two part interview…

This isn’t exactly what he’d hoped for, I guess.
Let’s just ‘hope’ he loves horses as much as me.
Could I bend a curve?
Reminds me of a Chariot…and swing lo…and as much as I don’t want to pay…we all do.
So behind(s) the scenes I’m sure he’s not ‘this picture’ nor of no saint….nor is no man….or woman.
Yet for a few that got warped beyond distinction and hold up in cells…like cancer.
And there’s no cure?
Wizard’s only preach *RAP like that.
Just those ‘talents’ that run banks into the ground with their knowledge and no con-science.
Why don’t we see pictures of those that prey and get those great bonuses, and along with them their families…so must be myth.
And Obama…and Peloski…and their ‘healthcare schematics’ for keeping the vary industry called ‘insurance’ alive and well.
No Q just BS here.
Which is nice in comparison…to be perfectly honest.
Not that our government is all bad, it’s just that they are not all that good.
And here we have the perfect picture of a ‘pretty boy blue’ that ain’t got no wife or mother to help him care for what he begot, I guess.
HKS will be the underdog taking ton yet another ‘his case’….
And call me whatever you’d like to…
I’m taking no prisoners and no sides…even tempted…even tempered…
Not always…especially back when I thought, and found myself being some knowitall.
Real Life even in gravity lifts me.
There is no way I want to opine about politics. That would be so much worse than writing about the lives and deaths of Anna and Daniel. Can you imagine the
ing if I got snarky or sumptin? :beatup:
However, you are most welcome to talk p0litics at Freidas place ova there>>>>>> :beer:
Minor set back…really…
You know I never had time for soaps…and it’s just a generational thing when you’ve finally got some time to sit back and watch, and listen and gossip.
But my feelings are the same as they were then back when.
I’m still light hearted… and definitely relate to ‘what’s worse’ than those high and might more so leading a flock with not knowing of what lack means, or in other words…
“They don’t really feel your pain”…yet, eventually they will.
Even if they get surged on or by-passed for free.
They’ll all get here or there soon enough, and sure hope most soar in their belief that they are doing their best, and doing a good job.
Hope I didn’t anger you?
Although I do still get ’snarky’ once in a while, whilst I rock and sway.
I lean a little one way, then the other…you know.
I’m not crippled quite yet, but I will no doubt be someday.
Just switch the words around in that sentence if it didn’t make sense or wasn’t ‘classical.’
In real life Larry’s got a handful and more stress and flashing lights than an ambulance chaser’s dream come true.
You know I even have a hard time watching those horse racing to the end of ‘that show.’
They give, and give and give, and keep giving more.
You know the one’s made a star, that broke a leg and still kept their heads-up…’til the ’shots’ were finally called upon.
Gee, if only.
You know, I’m sure.
Just wish I could read faster, and had better bones.
racing ‘events’ (left that word out to make sense)
LB has changed his testimony and claims since he made his deal with HKS. It has definitely been shown that he changed his testimony in the preliminary hearing compared to what he testified in FL. :loser: JMO
Let’s hope Larry’s words from previous testimony & interviews come back to haunt him. The fact that he’s already out trying to do damage control and is throwing the doctors under the bus is VERY telling IMO.
The thing that struck me is Larry talks about who is nice to him but does not consider what is best for DL, He is falling for an act is my opinion. If a con artist wants something out of you of course they will be nice to you. He needs to take a break, get an attorney who will really help him and get away from Stern. No way do I believe Stern is looking out for DL, he never looked out for her mother and he will never look out for her child and that’s my strong opinion. By Larry’s comments it seems to me Stern has created enough confusion to make Larry think he needs him.
He also needs to start understanding why he is in the middle of this lawsuit in Texas. Please realize a mother
ing for her child.
He needs to dump Stern and work it out with Anna’s family. I wish he would stop the hate and understand the pain of the family. They aren’t being nice to him right now because he has aligned himself with the man who harmed them and he is doing to them what Anna did to him and he should remember how angry it made him and I don’t recall him feeling all nice inside. She is his daughter but remember she is Ms. Arthur’s grand daughter.
Larry thinks those witnesses won’t do well under cross, he is believing the con. I understand his confusion and pray he gets away from the evil and will pray for him and pray he realizes what is happening to his life.
And again that is my opinion.
Kitty, I agree. It sure is telling.
SheStone. I did change the article to reflect that he is trying to make excuses in the interview for changing his story. Thank you for mentioning that
Great points Mary!
He makes me sick. I’m glad I was not one who ever bought into his “act.” I always said he had a right to know if the child was his, but I did not trust him. Well balanced people do not hang around drug addicts and get them pregnant on purpose.
Artificial insemination?
I’m still hoping what I see and read isn’t always necessarily ‘What’s real.’
Especially when it boils down to…I’ll apologize before I type the next line…OK QV…
ON LINE BANKING!!!
It’s rather Queer all that stuff shown on television in Seidlin’s courtroom (did I spell his name right?).
Yet, I’m certain he saw many ‘episodes’ exactly the same in ordinary peoples that weren’t famous.
I liked ‘that lady’ on Lifeboat #6!
Who’d risk their life to go back and save someone, even knowing in all likelihood…
So, Larry just doesn’t seem like ‘the type’ to me.
And Virgie…all those kids, packing a weapon, working at 7/11, trying to get those kids to clean up….all by herself.
Oh Lord, it’s the fifth.
Soon, ‘my thread’ will vanish into ’see previous page’ or something ‘akin’…
Please, hurry QV…write more articles!
You know I can cook up some really wild stuff…but still just quite cannot imagine Howard with ‘that spoon.’
However, I can imagine Anna/Vickie and Larry as the perfect couple that made Hope.
Excuse me, I just barfed. He is supporting the one individual who knows exactly how and why Anna and Danny died.
What do you call those baton twirlers?
Your search – doctorate, bacheloriate, lawyerette – did not match any documents.
LOL…majic spelling and degrees
Oh, but Danny had already been made.
Sad to know how young…and how or where babies come from.

Keep spinning it QV…
I’m just here for the ride.
Well, I’ll volunteer to be the ‘designated’ driver, and I’ll pop the corn, and I guess from that ‘icon’ …QV’s passing out drinks, and driving this bus.
Glad she’s not behind ‘this wheel.’
lol
Hi Carole, looks like another website got him all hot and bothered. If that was even him. Such a cry baby
If ya can’t take the heat……
and all that stuff..lol!
Can’t take the heat, yet crave it for some ‘reason.’
Snap a shot of some death and see all that poured.
For one simple second, not all bad to ’see’ old eyes without tubes…nothin’ sewn some stitch to remind.
Fini
So took some a while to rewind and all too some living on long island…commuting everyday into the midst of that concrete someday ’twill be dust…
What is concrete made of anyway?
Mother Nature will brush us off the face of this eventually soon enough.
We all know it.
Some mighty gentleman that knew the score of law, probably in reality knows how to play that piano, too.
I’m just guessing but hope.
