<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/02/larry-birkhead-the-latest-cry-for-attention/" target="_blank">The Hollywood Gossip</a> started their latest <em>Anna Nicole saga</em> article with the words, &#8220;This is how a real pimp rolls.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Apparently, paps caught the daddy of Anna Nicole&#8217;s baby daughter out wearing a t-shirt with Anna Nicole&#8217;s face on it. Read what they had to say <a href="http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/02/larry-birkhead-the-latest-cry-for-attention/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And that&#8217;s not the only smack down for Birkhead recently. Attorneys for Anna&#8217;s mother, Virgie Arthur are forging ahead with her libel and conspiracy to libel suit against Birkhead, Howard K. Stern, Bonnie Stern, TMZ and Harvey Levin, CBS/Entertainment Tonight, Art Harris (a journalist) and some bloggers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Published in recent court documents is an email from Howard K. Stern&#8217;s sister Bonnie. In part Bonnie Stern says her brother Howard told her that <strong>Birkhead INTENTIONALLY leaked information to TMZ&#8217;s Harvey Levin.</strong> In other words, the group being sued are accused of libeling Mrs. Arthur and their own words may be what ends up in a finding against all of them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">An example is an email in part from Bonnie Stern to Nelda Turner (a blogger defendant in the suit)</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 90px;"><em>&#8230;Howard told me this morning that Larry was actually the one who <strong>intentionally leaked</strong> to TMZ the thing about Virgie and then Harvey Levin looked up and found the family tree&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>&#8230;He (Howard) said that Larry leaked that because of the amount of viewership TMZ gets and it <strong>turned in their favor against Virgie</strong> that it happened so it was actually a good thing&#8230;..</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>He (Howard) didn&#8217;t understand why everyone was so mad so I told him that Art (Harris) wanted to break that story&#8230;He said he would have Art break the one above yet he doesn&#8217;t get a lot of viewership&#8230;They need the high viewership of TMZ at times&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>I hope this helps explain some things.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;"><em>XO Bonnie</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And to think all this time, various entities have been blaming little old me (QV) for the above including the actual guilty ones. I can&#8217;t wait until the rest of it comes out in court. <em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p>Sadow Falsely Claims Big Moe Paid To Testify About Stern Injecting Anna Nicole</p>
<p>Yesterday in Los Angeles Maurice Brighthaupt (&#8220;Big Moe&#8221;) spent his second day on the stand in the preliminary hearing to decide if Howard K. Stern, and doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich will go to trial for  illegally supplying drugs to Anna Nicole Smith. The same drugs killed her on February 8th, 2007 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood Florida.</p>
<p>The Los Angeles Times quoted Sadow as saying that Brighthaupts allegations of Howard K. Stern injecting Anna Nicole Smith with drugs are false and a new allegation. <strong>Not so!</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/10/larry-birkhead-court-appearance-%E2%80%9Ci%E2%80%99m-ready-go-i-was-ready-go-two-days-ago%E2%80%9D" target="_blank">Sources</a> say Big Moe spoke to the California DOJ </strong>two days after Lin Wood and Howard K. Stern accused Brighthaupt of trying to sell pictures of Anna Nicole. The accusation first came via Stern&#8217;s mouthpiece Entertainment Tonight on <strong>October 3rd of 2007. </strong>They again attacked Brighthaupt on <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/10/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">Larry King Live</a> on <strong>October 10th, 2007</strong>.</p>
<p>Big Moe was interviewed by Access Hollywood on October 17th 2007. <strong>That was when he revealed for the <a href="http://omg.yahoo.com/news/anna-nicoles-bodyguard-big-moe-on-the-record-part-ii/3219;_ylt=AlqPeUxvpqSDLsAYV.8tEgN_pxx.;_ylv=3" target="_blank">first time</a></strong> <strong>that he saw Howard cooking drugs on a spoon and injecting them into Anna Nicole. </strong></p>
<p><strong>So here is the time line </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etonline.com/news/2007/10/54556/index.html" target="_blank">October 3rd, 2007</a> &#8211; Lin Wood issues a statement to Entertainment Tonight accusing Brighthaupt (Big Moe) of selling pics and says they have been accusing him since shortly after Wood was retained. Moe denies selling anything through his rep. Paul Porter.</p>
<p><a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/10/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">October 10th, 2007</a> &#8211; Howard K. Stern and Lin Wood appear on Larry King Live with same accusations.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/10/larry-birkhead-court-appearance-%E2%80%9Ci%E2%80%99m-ready-go-i-was-ready-go-two-days-ago%E2%80%9D" target="_blank">October 12th, 2007</a> &#8211; <strong>According to Sadow, Moe talked to the CA DOJ</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://omg.yahoo.com/news/annas-bodyguard-big-moe-on-the-record-about-howard-k-stern/3189;_ylt=Aq0gjIJsCeeZxcThGwvAdg9_pxx.;_ylv=3" target="_blank">October 17th, 2007</a> &#8211; Moe appears on Access Hollywood and says he saw Stern cooking drugs and injecting them into Anna Nicole.</p>
<p>So Sadow&#8217;s own words disprove his point. If Moe talked to the CA DOJ two days after the Larry King Live interview, that would have been October 12th. Moe did not appear in any live interviews until October 17th. The point is, Moe told the DOJ what he is testifying to before he got paid by or appeared for any media outlets.</p>
<p>Also, where is Lin Wood? It was announced by <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS207869+26-Mar-2009+BW20090326" target="_blank">Reuters</a> and others that he is part of Stern&#8217;s defense team. Could it be that Wood is trying to extricate himself from Howard K. Stern? The King siblings case which Wood was working on has been settled but still no appearance by Lin Wood in California.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Honorable Judge Denny Chin of New York’s Southern District Federal Court rendered his decision yesterday in the case of Howard K. Stern vs Rita Cosby and Hachette Books, on Cosby and Hachette’s motions for Summary Judgment.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p style="padding-left: 5px; text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1149" title="Blonde_Ambition" src="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Blonde_Ambition.jpg" alt="Blonde_Ambition" width="99" height="150" />The Honorable Judge Denny Chin of New York’s Southern District Federal Court rendered his decision yesterday in the case of Howard K. Stern vs Rita Cosby and Hachette Books, on Cosby and Hachette’s motions for Summary Judgment.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 5px; text-align: left;">Hachette Books won their motion and are dismissed from the case. Judge Chin found that a book publisher has no obligation to investigate a book author’s sources.</p>
<p>Cosby’s motion was granted in part and denied in part.</p>
<p>The dismissal of Hachette naturally has the affect of reducing any award that Stern may reap if this case, barring settlement goes to trial if by chance he would win any of the remaining counts he cites as defamatory. <span id="more-1148"></span></p>
<p>Stern said Cosby attributed the following to him in his original <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Stern_vs_Cosby_Initial_complaint.pdf " target="_self">complaint</a> about her book.</p>
<p>1. Criminal Lewd Act and Homosexuality</p>
<p>2. Videotaped Homosexual Act</p>
<p>3. Illegal Cocaine Use</p>
<p>4. Filing a false police report</p>
<p>5. Conspiracy to Commit Murder</p>
<p>6. Perjury</p>
<p>7. Pimping</p>
<p>8. Fraudulent Inducement for Prostitution</p>
<p>9. Obstruction of Justice and Destruction of Evidence</p>
<p>10. Theft Money Laundering and Wire Fraud</p>
<p>11. Fraudulent and Perjurious Statements Regarding Dannielynn&#8217;s Paternity</p>
<p>12. Kidnapping for Ransom</p>
<p>13. Extortion or Blackmail of Larry Birkhead</p>
<p>14. Drugging Anna Nicole</p>
<p>15. Criminal Involvement in the Death of Anna Nicole Smith As Evidenced by Financial Motive</p>
<p>16. Criminal Involvement in the Death of Anna Nicole Smith As Evidenced by Financial Motive (this is listed twice in the original complaint)</p>
<p>17. Criminal Involvement in the Death of Anna Nicole Smith As Evidenced by the Fax of Ms. Smith&#8217;s Will (Five Days Before Her Death).</p>
<p>18. Criminal Involvement in the Death of Daniel Smith</p>
<p>19. Criminal Involvement in the Death of Anna Nicole Smith</p>
<p>Judge Chin makes note that as the non-moving party, <em>the court construes all facts in a light most favorable to Stern.</em></p>
<p>Cosby&#8217;s motion for summary judgment was granted as to Statements 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 and 14. Summary Judgment was denied as to Statements 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. The later are the issues that will be before a jury if this case goes to trial.</p>
<p>Thinking of how close any of us who follow the Anna Nicole cases could have came to having a copy of one “smoking gun”, which became counts <strong>One</strong> and <strong>Two</strong> is regretful. Mine personally is that I did not save the video displayed on former Bahamian resident Lincoln Bain aka Mr. Controversy&#8217;s site. Nor had anyone else who I asked.</p>
<p>The video was replaced with a disclaimer that it had been edited. Although Bain assured his readers the full and unedited interviews with Anna Nicole&#8217;s nannies, Quethlie Alexis and Nadine Alexie would be placed back on his website, it never happened.</p>
<p>Lincoln Bain, who previously voiced his opinion that Howard K. Stern is homosexual ended up becoming a spokesman for the two women and was instrumental in foiling any attempts that Rita Cosby made to get sworn affidavits from them. Bain then mysteriously became a &#8220;so called&#8221; reporter for journalist Art Harris. Harris has written on his blog that Howard K. Stern shared his <em>innermost secrets </em>with him, leaving inquiring minds to wonder what happened to cause Bain&#8217;s change of heart regarding his criticism of Howard K. Stern.</p>
<p>I can say that because I was fortunate enough to speak to a couple of different sources who attended the inquest into the death of Daniel Smith. Bain’s reporting on Harris’s site about the inquest greatly differed from what I was told. Read the series <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/daniel-smith-inquest-march-17th/" target="_self">here</a>, <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/larry-birkhead-no-i-never-saw-daniel-do-drugs/" target="_self">here</a> and <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/witness-testimony-concluded-in-daniel-smith-inquest/" target="_self">here</a> and <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/daniel-smith-inquest-verdict-due-march-31st/" target="_self">here</a> and <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/don-clark-daniel-smith-inquest-press-reports-wrong/" target="_self">here</a> and <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/2008/03/daniel-smith-inquest-verdict-non-dependant-drug-use/" target="_self">here</a>.</p>
<p>Shortly after the conclusion of the inquest and 15 minutes of fame on Fox News where Bain did a 180* about the two nannies from his original reporting,  Bain closed his website down and has claimed to have left the Bahamas to move to the UK. The two nannies also disappeared and have not been heard from.</p>
<p>Judge Chin’s <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Stern_vs_Cosby_Opinion_081209.pdf" target="_self">58 page opinion</a> says that a jury <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">should</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">hear</span></strong> what encompasses the questions of whether Cosby was reckless and acted with malice in publishing certain portions of the book or was wrong to rely on certain sources who told her that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stern and Larry Birkhead are homosexual and Anna Nicole frequently watched a video of Stern and Birkhead engaging in gay sex.</li>
<li>Stern acted as a pimp and collected money from numerous men in exchange for sex with Anna Nicole.</li>
<li>Stern lied about being the father of Dannielynn.</li>
<li>Stern is responsible for the deaths of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel Wayne Smith.</li>
<li>Stern embezzled money from Anna Nicole and sent it to offshore bank accounts.</li>
<li>Stern had Anna Nicole’s will faxed to him five days before her death..</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
<p>Judge Chin dismissed the following counts and said that Cosby was<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> not </strong></span>reckless or acting with malice and a jury <strong>will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> hear</strong> when she wrote:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stern and Anna Nicole were users of cocaine.</li>
<li>&#8230;in regard to the conviction of Mark Hatten for assault and stalking Anna Nicole. Also that Stern tried to get Hatten to murder Pierce Marshall who was fighting a multiple year battle over her late wealthy husbands millions.</li>
<li>That Stern perjured himself on the stand in the February 2007 Florida burial hearing when he falsely denied being paid for an interview by Entertainment Tonight.</li>
<li>Stern destroyed evidence by flushing pills down the toilet he reportedly found in Daniel Smith&#8217;s pocket after he mysteriously died.</li>
<li>Stern offered Birkhead custody of Dannielynn and other enticements in return for Birkhead leaving him as executor of Anna Nicole’s estate.</li>
<li>That Daniel Smith told &#8220;someone&#8221; Stern kept feeding his mother drugs and that he controlled Anna Nicole like a “Svengali”.</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
<p>While Stern is busy defending himself in Los Angles Superior court along with two of Anna Nicole Smith’s doctors, Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, for felony drug charges in connection with the drug overdose death of Anna Nicole Smith, he will also continue to litigate this case with the next hearing being a pre-trial conference in Chin&#8217;s court on September 11th at 12:00 pm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-746 alignnone" title="ans_glamor_blackandwhite" src="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ans_glamor_blackandwhite.jpg" alt="ans_glamor_blackandwhite" width="250" height="301" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The second anniversary of the death of Anna Nicole Smith is upon us. She died two years ago today on February 8<sup>th</sup>, 2007. I was a fan of her reality show and watched her personal appearances. I saw radio shock jock Howard Stern berate her for weight gain and I celebrated with her when she debuted slim and triumphant as the spokeswoman for <a href="http://www.recong2.com/journal/trimspa_post_anna_nicole_is_a_company_more_than_the_spokesperson" target="_blank">Trimspa</a>. She then ended up having the second child she always wanted only to have her beloved son Daniel <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1533524,00.html" target="_blank">die three short days </a>after the birth of baby girl Dannielynn Hope. Five months later Anna Nicole Smith was also gone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">That’s why I started this website. It was called “A Mothers Last Wishes”. I already told the story of this blog and the blog war that ensued in <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/A_Mothers_Last_Wishes.pdf" target="_blank">this </a>series of articles. A year has passed but what I said then is what I would say now if I were to write that part all over again. <span id="more-743"></span><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The deaths of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel have spawned not one but several civil legal actions. First there was an inquest into Daniels death. Many were thinking that criminal charges could have been pressed in the Bahamas against Anna’s attorney and friend Howard K. Stern for Daniels death. The jury, who were instructed to come back with a <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&amp;entry_id=25324" target="_blank">specific verdict</a> in that country known for corruption found Daniels cause of death to be non-dependent drug use. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern has been a busy man though. He has sued TV journalist and book author Rita Cosby for her book, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21122641/" target="_blank">Blonde Ambition</a>. Ms. Cosby’s book outlined the suspicious circumstances of Anna Nicole and Daniels deaths. That suit is still ongoing in the United States Southern District Court of New York . </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern sued Houston Texas billionaire attorney John O’Quinn. O’Quinn represented Anna’s mother Virgie Arthur in Florida Broward County Court as she fought for the right to take her daughters remains back home to Texas. But Daniel was buried in the Bahamas. Early reports from the funeral home handling arrangements indicated that Daniel’s body was being prepared for shipment back to the United States. It’s rumored that Anna Nicole was told she could not afford to do this. This was even after photos were sold for several hundred thousand dollars of Daniels last hours with his mother and sister. Anna’s remains went back to the Bahamas with Daniels and there they rest alone. <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/110907_Stern_vs_OQuinn_64_First_Amended_Complaint.pdf" target="_blank">Stern’s defamation lawsuit</a> against O’Quinn he says, arose from statements that O’Quinn made to the press during and after those hearings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern vs O’Quinn has <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/112408_Stern_vs_OQuinn_247.pdf" target="_blank">settled</a>. There was no statement from either party but speculation continues because there was a continuance granted to the defense on the date set for settlement talks. To the surprise of followers of the case, settlement talks proceeded anyway. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Stern as executor of Anna Nicole’s estate <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/080408_Stern_vs_Shelley_Thompson_et_al_1.pdf" target="_blank">sued </a>G. Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley who were former friends of Anna Nicole. They sold her a house in the Bahamas which they were never paid for. When Anna Nicole died, Ford Shelley entered the home and took things belonging to Anna Nicole. Shelley said she told him to do that in case anything ever happened to her. Which it did. What has been revealed has sparked worldwide controversy as to how much responsibility Stern should share regarding the deaths of Anna Nicole and Daniel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Via Ford Shelley and Geraldo, Americans were treated to the infamous “Clown Video” where Anna Nicole is eight months pregnant and apparently under the influence&#8230; Just about every instance of that video has been removed from the internet even though Stern says the video was supposedly a joke that Anna Nicole planned to publish on her website. From a still publicly unknown source, <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b57354_daniel_smiths_pictorial_postmortem.html" target="_blank">pictures circulated the internet</a> of Anna Nicole purple, hysterical, weeping and devastated while she held her dead 20 year old son Daniel in her arms in the Bahamian hospital where she just gave birth to her beautiful daughter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the meantime, Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1011071arthur1.html" target="_blank">sued </a>Howard K. Stern, CBS Studios and KRPC Houston for the Entertainment Tonight segment that will forever be called “The Mommy Dearest” video. It’s actually what brought me to this story. The sight of Anna Nicole weeping and seething in anger at her mother, whom I had never read or seen anything about was heartbreaking. It was that show which prompted me to start this blog. Only to later find out that Anna Nicole was deeply impaired during the taping of the show. According to those close to her (including baby daddy Larry Birkhead),  she was being kept drugged and out of it and told things that were just not true. Although Birkhead has changed his tune these days and is said to be a very close friend to Stern.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Mrs. Arthur’s lawsuit started in Texas State Court and was then removed to Federal District Court . Neil McCabe, Arthur&#8217;s lead attorney petitioned the court to add other parties to the case. The court denied the request but declared any case against the proposed added defendants &#8220;cognizant&#8221;. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">That brings us to Virgie Arthur’s Houston Texas case for defamation. Mrs. Arthur through the O’Quinn Law Firm is suing </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Howard K. Stern and his sister Bonnie Stern. </span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tmz.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">TMZ.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, Harvey Levin, its managing editor, Art Harris who is a special correspondent for CNN and other programs and networks, one blog owner, Nelda (Rose) Turner and two of her moderators who are Teresa Stephens and Lyndal Harrington.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Defendant Rose Turner of </span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://rosespeaks.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">rosespeaks.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> has an “entertainment blog”. She says she likes to cover various high profile legal cases. Rose wrote <em>almost</em> exclusively about the Anna Nicole Smith debacle until she was served with the current defamation suit. Now she covers other issues as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">After attorney William Ogden who was representing four of the defendants in that case decided that he could not afford to continue defending at least two pro bono defendants, Rose and Lyndal Harrington, (per Turner) he resigned from the case also leaving those two and  two other clients, Bonnie Stern and Art Harris without representation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Rose, finding herself without an attorney was faced with having to either cooperate with Neil McCabe’s requests for discovery or the judge in the case, The Honorable Tony Lindsay was going to issue an order compelling Turner to surrender her computer to forensic expert <a href="http://www.craigball.com/" target="_blank">Craig Ball</a> who has been appointed for this case. Turner decided to cooperate with McCabe rather than turn over her computer. The other defendants have been ordered to turn their computers and emails over to the forensic expert due to possible spoliation meaning possible destruction of evidence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Turner had in her possession an email from Bonnie Stern that was enough for attorney Neil McCabe to bring one more party into this lawsuit which not only charges defamation but conspiracy to defame Mrs. Virgie Arthur. That party is the father of Anna Nicole’s baby daughter Dannielynn. In the court documents, McCabe charges it was <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_Second_Amended_Petition_Adding_Birkhead.pdf" target="_blank">Larry Birkhead</a> who gave a mean spirited story TMZ published that implied that Mrs. Arthur married her step-brother with Howard K. Stern “sourcing” that story. In reality, Mrs. Arthur did not marry nor have a child with her step-brother. Their respective parents married later on. Millions of readers saw that story and voted on a poll all designed to humiliate Mrs Arthur.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And then another twist to the story. Defendant Nelda Turner last week, filed a motion to <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_etal_Rose_Turner_Motion_Add_CBS.pdf" target="_blank">bring CBS into the State case.</a> The Federal case against Stern and CBS had been dropped with costs being attributed to each party. Onlookers suspected a defamation case against CBS was not over but no one ever thought it would be Turner who brought them back in by way of the existing state case. Turner then announced that one of the defendants, <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Bonnie_Stern_bankruptcy_2.pdf" target="_blank">Bonnie Stern has filed for bankruptcy</a>. Research shows that this action will stay the Texas State case however there are legal remedies that I am assuming will be discussed in future hearings that may allow the case to continue while Bonnie Stern follows through with her bankruptcy petition. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The suit against Cosby continues. On the eve before former Los Angeles police officer and former body guard of Larry Birkhead, Mark Spear was to give a deposition in the Cosby case, Howard K. Stern filed a <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b26970_stern_sues_alleged_anna_nicole_tell-all.html" target="_blank">lawsuit</a> against Spear and Jackie Hatten who was a personal friend of Anna Nicole’s. Stern claims both parties libeled him and caused false information to be published in Crosby ’s Blonde Ambition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Sterns suit against Thompson and Shelley continues as does Anna Nicole’s lawsuit against the estate of J. Howard Marshall which she took all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States and prevailed in allowing it to be heard. Anna Nicole’s surviving child Dannielynn would be the beneficiary of anything won in that action but also big legal fees would go to Howard K. Stern.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Larry Birkhead with daughter Dannielynn appeared as a surprise guest on <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0902/02/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">Larry King Live</a> the other night which was featuring “the crying judge” from the Anna Nicole burial hearing, Larry Seidlin. Birkhead and Stern are spotlighted in a television special that is airing  on “E!” television called, “<a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b82259_mourning_anna_nicole_i_still_have.html" target="_blank">Anna Nicole, Tragedy in Paradise</a>”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Birkhead said he and Dannielynn are set to star in their own television <a href="http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2008/11/04/larry-birkhead-is-heading-to-reality-tv-with-his-daughter-dannielynn/" target="_blank">reality show</a> on the same network which just happend to be the network which created Anna Nicoles reality show back in 2002. It appears on all fronts that Birkhead is the new Anna Nicole Smith. He does not say who his manager is but for all intensive purposes, he has her possessions, her child and now he wants her stardom. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">An investigation into the prescribing practices of one Los Angeles doctor and the psychiatrist who prescribed eleven medications of which eight were prescribed in Howard K. Sterns name was announced by California Attorney General Jerry Brown in October of 2007. Dr Kristine Erosovitch and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor had their <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301436,00.html?sPage=fnc/entertainment/celebrity/smith" target="_blank">offices and storage units raided by the California AG</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The much anticipated investigation continues and another bomb shell was dropped just days ago.The offices of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were raided again and this time <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/05/anna-nicole-smith-doctor-searched/" target="_blank">TMZ</a> is reporting that </span>United States Drug Enforcement Administration  assisted in serving a search warrant along with the California Medical Board. They are looking for a connection between the doctor and Howard K. Stern.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">As for me, I have been named as a cooperating witness but former co-conspirator in Virgie Arthur&#8217;s defamation lawsuit in Houston Texas. It is said that evidence <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/051308_Von_Waddle_full_interview.pdf" target="_blank">I</a> and one of my former moderators, &#8220;<a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/051308_Chrystal_Baker_full_depo.pdf" target="_blank">Havana</a>&#8220;, submitted to the O’Quinn firm has made this state case possible. We being tiny links to a larger chain of conspiracy.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My opinion of the sad deaths of Anna Nicole and Daniel has changed drastically. However as a witness, I find it best to keep my thoughts to myself. I have been maligned and attacked by Turner and the members of her website on the internet. I refuse to engage. The truth and substance of this case will be sorted out in a court of law. I stand by all I have said and will quietly remain until the final gavel falls. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">There are many who desire to know the whole true story behind the lives and suspicious deaths of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel. Her adorable daughter Dannielynn deserves to know. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hopefully with the latest raid in California and the ongoing investigation, the world will get some answers as to why two people had to die too young and too soon.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p><font face="Verdana" size="2">In the United States District Court, Southern District of  Texas today, the honorable Judge Lee H. Rosenthal filed a thirty-one page order  dispensing with several motions before her, in the civil suit of Anna Nicole Smith&#8217;s mother, Virgie Arthur  vs Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios and KPRC Houston.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The attorneys for Mrs. Arthur had sought to add additional  defendants to the lawsuit after her attorneys had discovered that there was  defamation ongoing not only on television but also on the internet. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Attorney Neil McCabe of the O&#8217;Quinn Law Firm in Houston   TX filed a motion to add Art Harris, a  journalist and blog owner of artharris.com, Bonnie Stern, sister of Howard K.  Stern, Harvey Levin, managing editor of TMZ.com and also TMZ the internet site  and company. Also requested to be added were bloggers Nelda Rose Turner, owner  of rosepeaks.com, Lyndal Harrington, a moderator of rosespeaks.com and Teresa  Stephens a former moderator of rosespeaks.com.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The motion to add the additional defendants was denied.  However, anticipating a denial, McCabe and colleague Attorney Michael Meyer  filed a lawsuit in the 190th District Court of Harris County Texas against the  additional defendants. There are presently jurisdiction objections from the non  Texas residents. <strike>Also there are motions  pending in that court and requests for documents and examination of computers  used to allegedly defame Mrs. Arthur.</strike></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Judge Rosenthal lists the various reasons for denial however,  she recognized the validity of the claim of defamation and conspiracy and went  as far as to write in her opinion that the added claim appears <a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/cognizable" class="external"><strong>cognizable</strong></a> to  pursue in state court. <a href="http://law.jrank.org/pages/5338/Cognizance.html" class="external"><strong>Cognizable</strong></a> </font><em><strong>The power, authority, and ability of a judge to determine a particular legal matter.</strong> </em><font face="Verdana" size="2">(click on the highlighted words for more in depth definitions). The state court claim was  also filed in a timely manner and can now commence.</font><br />
<span id="more-245"></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">KPRC was dismissed from the suit. Cited was the studio had a  contractual obligation to broadcast the Entertainment Tonight interview and had  no way of knowing in advance the subject matter of the interview.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Howard K. Stern&#8217;s motion to dismiss for lack of personal  jurisdiction was denied. For specific personal jurisdiction, Judge Rosenthal  differentiates and writes that &#8220;the court must assess Stern&#8217;s forum  contacts independently from the contacts of the other alleged conspirators. The  question is whether Stern himself, not the alleged co-conspirators had the  requisite minimum contacts.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The Judge states the claim against Stern is not that he  himself made the defamatory remarks about Virgie Arthur by arranging the ET  interview but that he urged Anna Nicole to make the statements about Mrs.  Arthur. The Judge writes the alleged defamatory remarks concerned Arthur&#8217;s  treatment of Anna Nicole when she was a child in Texas  and about her experiences in Texas. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Stern knew that Arthur lives in Texas  and has lived in Texas her whole  life even though he has denied that fact in a sworn statement. He knew that  Entertainment Tonight is broadcast in Texas  and the events discussed were purported to occur in Texas.  Arthur lives in Texas and that is  where the harm has occurred and had &#8220;foreseeable effects&#8221; there.  Stern worked to arrange to broadcast statements to the nation including Texas  about the Texas activities of a Texas  resident.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Judge Rosenthal&rsquo;s decision rendered means that Arthur will  be able to pursue her claim against Howard K. Stern and CBS in her Texas Federal Court. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The Judge also says that Mrs. Arthur will be able to move  forward with her defamation and conspiracy claim against Howard K. Stern,  Bonnie Stern, Art Harris, Harvey Levin, TMZ, Nelda Rose Turner, Lyndal  Harrington and Teresa Stephens in Texas State Court.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">You can read the full text of the Memorandum and Order <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/062608_Memo_and_Order.pdf">here</a>.</font><br />
<font face="Verdana" size="2">190th State District Court of Houston Texas, Arthur vs Stern et al Docket <a href="http://annanicoleandhowardkstern.com/Arthur_vs_Stern_State_Court_Docket.pdf">here</a></font></p>
<p>*Edited to strike reference that there is a motion in the 190th Houston TX court for production of documents and examination of computers. That was in the Federal case and declared moot.</p>
