Exclusive: Bahamas Judge to G. Ben Thompson: Put up or Shut Up; Post $100,000 Cash as Bond; Goes to Anna’s Estate if GBT Loses Horizons’ Suit; Deadline May 28; No $, Stern Stays, Case Closed!
Developer G. Ben Thompson sits at center.
Read the Anna Nicole Court Document Here >>
Here’s our exclusive copy of the Bahamas Court Order demanding G. Ben Thompson put up a $100,000 cash bond to pursue the Horizons suit against Anna Nicole’s estate….Under Bahamian law, the losing party always pays attorneys’ fees for the winner, so in effect, a bond for GBT insures he’ll pay lawyers for Anna’s estate if he tangos over the title… and trips.

I thought Ford Shelley owned the Horizons?
May 18th, 2007 at 8:45 am
that is to funny
May 18th, 2007 at 10:56 am
hahahaha!! sorry i should not be so overed joyed but these people went out of there way to make howard look bad and all for nothing!! they new they did not have a case so they thought lets burn poor howrd at the stake and get it that way!! once again THANK YOU MR.HARRIS, what a wonderful job you are doing getting the truth out keep up the good work,you got a new fan and i will read anything you wright about cuz i know it will be the truth!
May 18th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Everything is not as clear cut as GBT and Shelley make it out to be. Evidently, something is not right on their side, or the judge wouldn’t have ordered this. I knew something was strange about this in the beginning when they couldn’t evict Anna and Howard. I believe this will be an asset to the estate awarded by law.
May 18th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Hummmm….More interesting everyday!!!! Keep the
great reports coming!!!!
May 18th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Finally, a sensible judge! LOL! I agree with marst – way too funny.
May 18th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Hi, Freida,
GBT claims to own Horizons, and Ford Shelley claims to have financed it for GBT, to sell it to Anna Nicole.
But, from what I’ve been reading, so soon after her son’s death, GBT asked her to pay almost double the price. However, there seems to be credible evidence that initially this was supposed to be a gift. He seems to have changed his mind.
“Seems” is the operative word for me, since, like most of us, we are not privy to the original talks.
May 18th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
This is breaking news Art, so it looks like Howard is taking care of business. I have faith in him in all this saga and to you Art thanks for bringing us the latest. Hoping Howard is getting his mojo back and happier days are ahead for him
Janet
May 18th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
I believe GBT is not only going to trip, but he’s going to fall!
May 18th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
There are some sad ass faces in that picture.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
I believe it is standard procedure to order such a bond when the plaintiff is a non-resident of the Bahamas. – I would not say this is over at all – but let the truth prevail.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
I don’t know why these people seem to think that this is a victory for stern. He stands to gain nothing. He and Anna spent their time either selling videos or Anna conning men out of what she could get.
In my opinion, Howard needs to be more concerned with the results of the inquest and the IRS, than a house that won’t be his. I support Virgie and her attorney about stern’s guilt. I know that I am not alone in my opinion. Howard is one hated man, as much as O.J. Simpson.
Sooner or later, he will face the justice that is due those who died. He’s nothing more than a pimp and con man and never has worked like a man for his own needs and support. He’s no man at all. The pieces to this puzzle is coming together slowly but surely.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
I am informed that this is an exclusive stern support team at entertainment tonight. Sorry, I still think stern will be found out for what he is…
After reading your articles and bashing of everyone, I see what they are saying is right on. I’ll not be back to this site again, but can’t blame et for doing what they need to to get their moneys worth.
After all, this story will only be news for a short time, and paying stern and Birkhead must be getting expensive.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Dear Art,
Thank you for all your great articles. We all really appreciate them. You seem to be the only reporter interested in finding out the truth and we all look to you to find it. And you do!
I find it just appalling the way the “talking heads” on TV make things up as they go along. There is so little truth in what they say, and I no longer watch them, nor will I ever, because I really have no interest in their little “spin” on everything and their malicious bashing of innocent people. And what’s more, when they are proven wrong, they don’t have the guts to say so, nor can they offer an apology to anyone. They are very small people in my eyes. Even more appalling, is the fact that there are so many people who are attracted to this kind of “reporting”. If it wasn’t for their viewers, the talking heads wouldn’t have the jobs they now have. As long as they have an audience, they will keep spinning their tales. Why can’t people understand this?
Nancy and Greta have lost all credibility. They are really very sad in my opinion.
Thanks again Art for your devotion to getting it right.

May 18th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
Art Harris, you rock! I thought Nancy was exceptionally rude to you tonight…I know she’s rude to everyone, but she totally cut you off. I’m glad you got to say everything you said. It’s clear she’s eating crow.
May 18th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Frankie-
You support Virgie? You ARE aware of the fact that Anna Nicole HATED her mother? And she has now even alienated Larry Birkhead. I don’t know how things work in the Bahamas, but if this inquest was happeing in the states, Howard wouldn’t have ANYTHING to worry about. Howard K. Stern loved both Anna Nicole Smith and Daniel Smith very much and thats the one and only thing that would come out of the inquest in reguards of Howard.
May 19th, 2007 at 12:25 am
Dear Art,
I just wanted to quickly say that I thought you did a great job on Nancy Grace tonight.
With people like Virgie Arthur,Ford Shelly, and G. Ben Thompson out there, I truly have no idea why the media decided to make Howard K. Stern the bad guy. (It wasn’t just Howard who was fighting the DNA test) Even if you’re just a passing fan of Anna Nicole Smith you knew how she felt about Howard and how much it would truly hurt her to see the current reaction towards him now.
To see people like Nancy Grace say what they do frustrates me to no end because they know exactly what they are doing. (you simply can’t get that far in life being that stupid). They know they are forsaking a man for the sake of “good tv”. It’s cruel and shameless and its wrong.
To have to listen to Grace make light of Howard Stern’s pain by saying that Howard is at The Horizons doing “back strokes” in the pool is incredibly inconsiderate and thoughtless. Stern has lost an incredible amount in a sort amount of time that would surely destroy a weaker person. (And frankly, I’m still not sure it eventually won’t destroy Stern)
I also want to say that I appreciate you continued support not necessarily for Stern but for the truth. In my opinion, if people actually looked at the truth and not just the facts and speculation they wanted to see, people would have a much different interperation of Howard K. Stern.
Some facts:
*Howard K. Stern is currently living in The Horizons because he was her “spiritual husband” and on the verge of being her legal husband.
*Howard K. Stern was in Anna Nicole Smith’s life because Anna Nicole Smith wanted him in her life
*Howard K. Stern fought the DNA test because Anna Nicole Smith fought the DNA test (whether it’s right or wrong, she wanted Howard to be the father of her child)
*(As I said in another post) If the official investigation into Daniel’s death was happening in America, Howard K. Stern wouldn’t have anything to worry about: There is no evidence to suggest that he had Anything to do with is death. What So Ever.
*If Howard K. Stern murdered Anna Nicole Smith to get her money he would have done it AFTER they got married
*All through out her life Anna Nicole Smith has had people try to screw her over.
*Anna Nicole Smith has said numerous times that Howard K. Stern is her best friend and the only person she could trust
*While Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith where morning the loss of Daniel Smith, Larry Birkhead was out partying with Janet Jackson and sending Anna cruel e-mails telling her that she was going to burn in hell.
May 19th, 2007 at 12:59 am
They both make me sick! I hope OLE J.Ben falls on one of two faces! I PRAY Ford Shelly gets wants coming to him!
Anna tusted him, and all he did was add his name to a long list of men who betrayed poor Anna. It was told by the Bahama Police, that it was G Ben AND Ford Shelly who went into Anna’s Horizon’s house and stole all her personal things the day after poor Anna died! Sleez balls, that stuff should have been DanniLyns!
~~Keep on taking care of bix Howard!“`
May 19th, 2007 at 1:26 am
After an extended absence, I would have expected one great story when you returned. To get three — well, that must be our bonus for waiting.
It’s always a pleasure to read your exclusives, Art. You raise the bar.
May 19th, 2007 at 1:52 am
Art,
Thanks again for staying on this story…
Looks like maybe the bad boys from S.C. are
going down…I Hope So………
Great job on the Nancy Grace show tonight….
Do you think you could try and sway Greta a
bit now too……
It would be nice but Greta seems to be to bitter
about life in general…….
Thanks for your devotion to this case,it means alot
to many of us that want The Bald Truth…..
Mary
May 19th, 2007 at 7:51 am
I don’t believe anything that comes from ET!!!!! They were SO sure Howard was the father, because he said so, and they followed him around paying him for every story, which was lies. I like Art, but he is in cahoots with ET, so I find it hard to believe his reports.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:48 am
HW Marran doesn’t know a fact from a hole in the ground.
Larry was certainly not partying with Janet Jackson! He happens to WORK as a photographer and writer, so being out with stars is not synonymous with partying.
Being a “spiritual husband” does not give Stern the right to stay at the Horizons. He is there because he was already there with Anna. – Sort of a “Squatter’s Rights” scenario. Regardless of which way the case goes, the house will never be his. If Anna’s estate would happen to win, the house will be Dannielynn’s and Thompson will pay all legal fees. If they don’t win, then Dannielynn’s estate has to pay the legal fees for both sides, and probably damages as well.
And regarding the “spiritual husband,” for Anna it was a matter of trying to find some way to keep Larry from having Dannielynn. Anna even said so in an email…that if Thompson would not sign the birth certificate and pay her child support, she would marry Howard and he could be the father. – Larry really surprised them by being so aggressive in the pursuit of his child.
Speaking of legal fees, since Howard lost the “fraud” case that Larry brought against him, related to the paternity, I’m sure that Howard has to pay Larry’s Bahamian attorneys. It has all been under seal but that is the way it works inthe Bahamas.
Also, Art said on TV that he thinks the $100,000 bond indicates that Thompson does not have a strong case. He needs to talk to Pro Pinder or oen of the Bahamian attorneys and he will find that this is the common practice to require a bond.
Notice that the attorney in the above picture is Larry Birkhead’s attorney. So he is the attorney for Thompson and Shelley?
I am glad Howard and Larry are working together because that is the best thing for Dannielynn. There is no doubt that Howard is devoted to her!
Virgie is going to pop up soon with her next game plan but it is going to end up costing her lots of money because she is never going to win.
May 19th, 2007 at 9:50 am
Linda, are you sure about your statement? Why wouldn’t they have to put it up in the first place if this is standard procedure? Your statement does not make sense because this suit has been going on for awhile.
May 19th, 2007 at 9:52 am
FRANKIE J BEECHE , they had evidence on OJ what evidence do you have on Stern? Please back up your statement. Who hates him except the fools who watch Greta, Nancy Grace and read the national enquirer?
May 19th, 2007 at 9:57 am
Do we all remember Nancy Grace in regards to the Duke case? Greta, gives Ford Shelly air time and he contradicts himself with in the same interview. This man tells so many lies he can not keep them straight. Are people so naive they believe any one who puts themselves on TV? The media is not as reliable as they once were because there is to much of it and they have to keep it sensationalize to keep the viewers. Can’t people honestly see what they are doing? Are people naive or just plain stupid, or maybe part of the O’quinn media machine.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:00 am
FRANKIE J BEECHE there is a reason we are on Stern’s side, we look at facts. You have not given one fact your opinion is based on fiction. Even if you listen to Nancy Grace, listen to her facts not the spin.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:03 am
HW Marron, correct he Anna bought the place for them to live in.
Also would like to address the fact that Howard did work, he worked for Anna exclusively, it is done every day. Anna said in an interview that Howard works hard.
May 19th, 2007 at 11:48 am
That picture above reminds me of a song…
“Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Watcha Gonna Do When They Come For You!”
May 19th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
Art,
I want to thank you for your truthful reporting , my only hope would be that Ford and Gina Shelly personally show up to post this bond and get arrested immediately for theft.
Jazzy
May 19th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Is that all to this decision, 2 pages looks like somethings missing. Where’s the rest of the document?
May 19th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Is this not the same lawyer that rep lbirkhead in the custody matter. I saw him walk out of court with larry when he learned of the dna results.
May 19th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
I think the Horizon and ca house shud be kept in Anna’s estate as a vacation home for the baby as she grows. No one in their right mind lets a woman stay at their house w/o papers checked and recheckeded before even 1 lamp or couch is moved in. Danielynn!!!!!, welcome to your bahamas home. 2 homes for you, girl, one when you are in ca, and one when you want to visit mama & brother in ba. What an expensive lesson for gbt/fs. ps…Anna was not as dumb as ppl thought.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Jolene, ET referred to the baby as Anna’s baby, Howard acknowledged it could have been Larry’s baby. You have to realize this is a man who was with the mother of the baby. It happens all the time, the man with the mother is the dad. You are acting as if it were unusual, it is not. I am not saying mistakes were not made but who among us walks this life with out making them? Jesus.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
Linda, The case was between Anna and Larry, Stern was only on the later of the case, he was not named in the suit until after Anna died.
May 19th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
My last thought about all these people who will not acknowledge Stern as Anna’s partner. Why are they so jealous or are they part of the O’quinn media machine? Anna and Howard were friends first, lovers second and they were together 12 years, please let me say it again 12 years, he was with her. Maybe it did take Anna longer to realize what she had with Stern, but the facts are she was going to marry him, again she was going to marry Stern. He became the father by that alone, plus he lived with them. I don’t really know what went on with Anna and Larry what I do know is Anna choose Howard, those are the facts, she was with Howard not Larry. I don’t know why she went to the Bahamas, it could have been for taxes for all I know. I do know Ron Rale was the one who represented Anna and he was the one handling the case between her and Birkhead. These are known facts, Ron said on TV he told Anna she did not have to take Dannielynn for DNA. I simply do not understand why there is so much hatred towards Stern, here is a man who lost his world, I can not imagine there are really that many cruel people in the world, it seems heartless. This has to be the O’quinn media machine, he is always were the big money is and there is big money in regards to Anna.
May 20th, 2007 at 1:35 am
I was trying to figure out the angle they want us to believe against HKS. Here it is. Larry B’head is a papparazzi. To get the baby back here the tabloids inserted themselves into a custody battle. unbelieveable!!!!.VA knows that in order to get herself into the estate, they must try and muscle HKS out. She cud care less about the baby or who murdered who. Remember VA’s fake concern for the baby’s safety w/ HKS until she realized that Larry B’head wud get to take the baby to KY…then she wanted the baby to stay with HKS until the June hearing. None of them truly believe that HKS killed ANS/DS. CSI/Columbo/Shakespeare and even the Twilight Zone wud reject this script about murder if it was sent to them because it is so illogical. Every celeb in Hollywood handle prescription from their dr the way it was handled by HKS because they do not want their medical history showing up on TMZ. The ‘executor of that will’ plus a Graceland type thing is what this is all about for the TX bunch.
May 20th, 2007 at 4:49 am
This website is the rally sry for Howard Stern too bad. There are still alot of unanswered questions. I guess you all know the truth now too. huh. there is an inquest still coming. I would like to know what happened to Daniel. I guess you feel it’s o.k. to watch the person you love be so messed up when there pregnant and shoot a video tape of them and brag about selling it for money. You people don’t have a clue what love is if that is your definition of love shame on you. The one person that could have helped her. And they never paid for the house either. Gosh. facts
May 20th, 2007 at 10:51 am
Well I was gonna defend myself agaisnt Linda (#22) But it looks like Maryst beat me to the punch and did a pretty good job for me.
May 20th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Sandy- We have yet to see the Full version of the “clown video” the video that we have seen was from Fox and was edited. If you watch an eposide of the Anna Nicole show it shows a quick clip of Anna looking very out of it, but if you look closey right before that clips really starts, Anna can be seen looking very clear headed and starts ACTING out of it. I have no idea what the full version will reveal, but I am very intrested in seeing it.
I’m asuming once Howard is fianlly officaly named the exector of Anna’s will (per ANNA’s request) he will officaly be able to reclaim what was theirs that was stolen from Anna’s home the day after she died. Incudling all the videos.
In reguards to Daniel, I’m asuing that no one wants to get to the bottom of his death more than Howard. (Lets face it, if Daneil was still alive, Anna would still be alive and Dannielynn would still be in their custody)
Its rather well known that Daniel was deeply depresed, even to the point he had to be hostiplized because his girlfriend dumped him. The doctors prescribed him an anti-depresent and when that one didn’t seem to be working, they prescribed him another one. I have HEARD that, like most 20 year old kids his age, he liked to party on the weekends and the drug of choise for his circle of friends was, you got it, Methadone.
Unfortunately, I think Daniel Smith died just like her mother eventauly would, an accidental drug overdose.
For those who want Howard k. Stern’s head on a stick just Knowing he was up to no good, I would like to remind them of Occam’s razor: “All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one.”
Anna Nicole Smith died because her son died. Her son died because he was a 20 year old kid screwing around with drugs while on anti-depresnts. Occam’s razor.
May 20th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Howard Stern stated on Larry King Live that HE was the father. Larry has stated he did not believe him. Howards’ family insisted he was the father, so there were many lies told!!!!!
May 20th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Looks like G. Ben Thompson is still a ‘Dope’ wheeler dealer.
May 20th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Some questions that i wud like to ask VA…Did your daughter ever mention her sexual abuse to you? As a po, did you confront your husband and/or stepson? Being a po, did you try to use some services that were available at that time to correct the behaviours that you objected to from ANS? At anytime during ANS life, if you felt that she had addiction problems, Did you try any family group intervention. Did you notice that her autopsy report shows that her organs did not exhibit signs of a typical chronic drug abuser? Did you know about ANS having Hashimoto’s disease (in her autopsy report) and did you try to do anything about that. Sidenote…I looked up this disease and found out that it has some similarities to lupus, where your body reacts to its own tissues as if they were foreign proteins(very painful).) Did you think that her drug addiction might be to stop the physical pain(not emotional pain) from the disease. Finally, were you addicted to anything while pregnant with ANS.
May 20th, 2007 at 8:36 pm
sandy pow, it is not so much a rally for Stern as it looks, a lot of us are concerned in regards to the way the media reports. As far as the clown video, it is my understanding it was a skit that could have been edited by Ford Shelly. You really have to be watching this case and the people who have been allowed to go on cable tv to promote their own agenda. I have seen them slow down video on Jon Stewart as a joke but it does make the person look a lot worse than what it is. As far as the drugs, you would have to live in this situation with a addicted person to understand Stern’s position. You also have to believe we are responsible for our selves. No one could stop Anna, not even Daniel. They did try interventions, they just did not work. You will soon learn information from the inquest and understand more of what happen to Daniel. Again, I would like to say, I base my opinion on facts not speculations. Also a very well know Dr. C.Weich (sic) from the U.S.A. has already done an autopsy, have you not heard his report?
May 20th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Jolene Jacks, please try to understand as Anna’s partner and soon to be husband he was the assumed father, Anna’s attorney always said that. It would be that way in a lot of families. I am not saying that was the perfect solution to Anna’s problems with Larry but it was Anna’s choice.
May 20th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
#40, Howard Stern didn’t lie when he told Larry King Live that he was the father because he was the father under the Bahamas law.
May 21st, 2007 at 9:54 am
Larry asked if he was the biologial father, and he said YES!!!!!
May 21st, 2007 at 11:27 am
Linda,
Are you a Bahamian attorney? How do you know that LB wasn’t partying with Janet Jackson? Are you his keeper? You sound kind of like Nancy and Greta. you seem to talk out of both sides of your mouth at once. Case closed.
May 21st, 2007 at 2:21 pm
#37, Glass houses and rocks don’t go together. Enough said.
May 21st, 2007 at 3:13 pm
#22, You’re so far out. I’d bet Howard isn’t going to pay Larry for anything. Should Larry have to pay Anna’s estate for breaking the contract that he signed for $10m? He very well could because he’s not a benefactor of the estate. I’m sure he won’t have to pay because Howard will not pursue it.
May 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Why do we hate HKS? let me count the million reasons. You say he was ANS lover–we don’t know that–it’s the word of a loser–HKS. he sought to decieve, decieve, and decieve some more. HKS is the lowest of the lowest and should be placed in jail for all the pain that he has caused–along with his family i might add. remember ANS was so impaired (she knew that HKS was a patsy and would keep her in drugs and that’s the only reason he was there at her death–also remember an addicts first love is the addiction!!)that she truly lost the ability to reason— if you know anything about addiction, the inability of that addicted person to make any rational decisons, then you know why ANS acted as she did–totally irrational–the will should be thrown out with Howie. The whole case is sad and all enablers should be held accountable for Anna’s and Daniel’s deaths–I am truly saddened for anyone who can’t see through HKS it reminds me of the OJ Simpson’s jurors.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:54 am
As for HKS being the father, he was in a relationship with ANS, he was living with ANS, she told him he was the father and he believed her, so how on EARTH does that make him a liar! As far as the clown video. I’ve used the expression “this is worth money” many times myself when my dogs did something I thought was funny. Doesn’t mean I wanted to SELL it! Besides what’s missing is CONTEXT. You can’t make a decision from 90 seconds of a 30 minute video.
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:09 am
I also heard Anna state in an interview her and Larry never had a relationship. Now we all know that was a lie !
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:14 am
Howard Stern and Larry B have no shame or pride. Why do they want to hold on to house that ANS claims she got as a gift for F**king a man maybe once. Firstly it is not something a businessman would do. He probably tried to help her by signing it over to her temporarily so she could get citizenship; then she claims it, without paying a dime on it. Either way it’s just depicable that someone would refuse to hand over something got under suspicious circumstances. My goodness the relsp between her and the old man didnt even last a month; she got pregnant w/Larry’s child after that. Larry how can you accept this house for your daughter? It is sick!
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:49 pm
#53, No one is asking Larry to accept anything. It’s none of his business. Remember, Larry is not listed in Anna’s will. Your statement about how she got the house and I won’t use your same terminology, but maybe she was that good. Don’t hate!
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:19 pm
jangie: Anna never told Howard he was the father, I assure you. She tried to get Ben Thomspon to sign the birth certificate and when he wouldn’t, Howard did. She also wrote in an email that if Ben didn’t say he was the fatherm she would marry Howard and he would be the father. It was all a ploy to keep the baby from Larry.
Today in the Bahama Journal, it states, as I said before that Thompson having to put up the $100,000 is STANDARD PROCEDURE and NOT an indication that Thompson’s case is weak. It says: “The courts require Mr. Thompson to put up the money because he is a resident outside the jurisdiction, and because he has no assets in the jurisdiction. Therefore, if he loses his lawsuit and is ordered to pay costs, the court needs some way to ensure that he can pay them.”
May 23rd, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Linda (#55)
Grant it- I have No Idea how things work in the Bahamas, but HOW IN THE WORLD would Anna and Howard getting married keep Larry from Dannielynn?? That doesnt make any sense.
If Anna didn’t die, she still most likely eventauly would have had to summit her daughter to the DNA test (reguardless if her last name was Ms. Smith or Mrs. Stern…)
It would have eventaully be proven that Larry is the biofather and THEN all hell would have broken out.
(I think that its also worth to note, in my opinion at least, once it was discovered that larry was the bio father of dannielynnn, I think it would have killed her. we will truly never know, but for whatever reason, annd DID NOT want Larry to be a part of her daughter’s life,* and having to fight for her daughter after losing her son,….it would have been too much.)
And when you say, “Anna never told Howard he was the father, I assure you”, how Exactly would you know that?? Are you one of their nannies or bodyguards that are with them all the time? Cause unless you where with them litterly 24/7, its beyond me how you would know that.
That fact of the matter is, if Anna was with Howard anytime during the time of conception then there was a logical reason for him to truly believe that he Could have been the father. you know that and I know that.
*- I dont think the pertunity fight was about larry or howard at all. I think it was about Anna not wanting ANY father is her life. She rasied Daniel on her own and she THOUGHT she could do the same thing with her daughter.
The only reason she happen to “pick” Howard was because, as she’s said nuerous times, Howard was her best and most trusted friend. If she HAD to have a father at all, she would want it to be the same person she named as her son’s legal guardain. (just my thoughts)
May 24th, 2007 at 2:42 am
As Frankie stated: “The pieces to this puzzle is coming together slowly but surely.”
Yes, that is why HKS is looking better and better every day.
May 24th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Linda,
How can you assure anyone that Anna didn’t tell Howard that he was the father? She very well could have told him this and he could have thought it due to the timing. If you can calculate, that had to be an early delivery for Larry and Anna to have sex in January and Dannielynn was born on Sept.7. You don’t factually know if it was a ploy or not. None of us do. I guess you’re another one of those that don’t believe Anna and Howard had an intimate relationship. If this is the case, I pity you.

I believe that if Anna had lived, she would be Mrs. Howard K. Stern. I believe the paternity test would eventually take place, but Dannielynn would still be with Anna and Howard and the last name would still be Stern on her birth certificate. Larry would be paying child support, maybe. Anna had committed to whom she wanted to spend her life with.

Linda #55, you stated the key words regarding GBT “he has no assets in the jusrisdiction” … meaning the court does not recognize Horizons as his or they would consider that asset. So that explains just what is being discussed. The court does not recognize that he has a strong case proving ownership. Get it?
Patricia #53…The fact that you used expletives to project your point is contradictory to you labelling Howard and Larry as having no pride and down talking Anna. Should you not address that to yourself? Pride is the root of anger which you clearly have issues with. How do you know what transpired between either of these people, you state your comments as if you were there. You do not know these people from a bump on a log. Stop spreading your hatred and judgement. You nor anyone else in this life or the hereafter should pass judgement. God is the only judge.It is never sick to accept a gift from anyone. A gift is given with no strings attached. You would not have known whether he did give it to her but tried to exploit her and because she did not go along with it, he wanted it back. Life is short, do not let anger chose your thoughts or direct your actions. Remember what goes around comes around.
Brenda #50…Wow, do you need to lie down ? You must be weak from all that pent up frustration.Brenda does not know best. Also, Howard does have support that never wavered and not easily swayed by ignorance projected and over exerted by the media. You are entitled to your opionion , however you are forgetting the root of the issues that matter. ANS use prescribed medication. Everywhere you look advertisements project a drug for everything and every ailment. In earlier times, we never always had drugs for everything and people made it and excelled. Quit blaming her for having tried to cope amidst all that she had to endure from the beginning of her life until she died. You were not in her shoes. Out of abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Even if you thought she was impaired she spoke her mind. It clearly shows that she was hurting and it had to come out. Everyone always thinks they know best, I have done that myself. Nevertheless, I stop and think and realize that we do not always know best and until we are in that person show we never have a right to put someone down and try to keep someone down . Howard have had to endure a lot and he will hold his head up despite what is thrown towards him. It just shows that he is not as weak and easily oush over as some of would like him to be. These hated words and put downs and everthing negative are the very same things that ANS and so many others have been fighting and trying to cope against. Stop and ponder that for a sec. Are you trying to help someone or hurt someone? Which is more important?
May 24th, 2007 at 7:25 pm
EJ-
I half agree with you. I belive that if Anna lived she would have leagly changed her named to Vicki Lynn Marshal-Stern. (Out of respect to her husband J. Howard she would have not gotten rid of his name. I belive it when she said that she truly loved him. And of course she would want Howard’s name. Hence the “Marshal-Stern”)
I don’t think that Anna would have gotten away with keeping Dannielynn’s last name Stern. It would have been nice, but legally I dont see it happening. I also think Dannielynn would have stayed with Anna and Howard and that Anna would have payed Larry for child support.
(Im not 100% sure on this, but I think its the person who makes more money who pays the other for child support. But I could be wrong. )
May 24th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Well,Frankies didn’t had a good day!
Anyway there always some poeples who are frustrated!
and by the way where is “Pro”Pender?At the bigining of the story he was so BIG!and now we don’t ear nothing from him He is so quiet!!!!
May 25th, 2007 at 12:45 am
Lee, I have been wondering this for a long time and thought maybe since you are so informative on Howard (who did no wrong) then why did the wonderful attorney HKS not make sure Anna had an updated will? I really would like to know the answer to this question.
If you recall in court Judge S asked HKS if Anna gave him a credit card to make personal purchases for himself and he said no, she gave me cash !!! To buy shoes no less ! He got an allowance ! Good boy !
Anna cried out for help many times and never received the real and true help she needed to get off her RX addiction.
I believe IMHO Anna finally resorted to putting Howard’s name on the BC because he was her last resort. Yes, he was the only person who 1. was her attorney and 2. he answered to every beck and call she made. He enabled her, provided her and gave her all the drugs she wanted. He was the best man for her.
Yes, as EJ said “Anna had committed to whom she wanted to spend her life with”. It’s so sad the drugs made it a short life.
I don’t believe she ever intended to marry HKS legally. There has not been one shred of proof that I have seen they were planning a wedding in the following two weeks that HKS was talking about in court. He wanted people to believe this. Besides, if he did marry Anna legally, remember the will says NO SPOUSE. So this wasn’t going to happen until he could convince Anna to draw up a new will. Not sure though if a spouse can be the executor, I don’t think so. He was a smart and shrewd man.
I truly believe Anna went to the Bahamas to have her child and get away from Larry was because he was fighting for his paternal rights. In the good ol US of A a child will be taken away from the parent who is addicted to drugs, even RX drugs. Larry would have proved paternity and filed for custody of Danielynn and probably won! He would of been the one receiving child support. Anna would never have gone for that I can assure you. So she fled!
Anna had to have a permanent residence in the Bahamas and was doing everything in her power to achieve this. Quick residency meant she had to own the house the Horizons. She was going to get this house one way or another without paying, money she didn’t have for a speedy residency.
I will always believe if those drugs were not around readily available and professional help was gotten from all the trauma Anna suffered in her life Daniel and Anna would be alive today. It went on too long.

Tony # 63
I would respond , however your passage is rather rhetorical. It is also dripping with cynicism and so you neither expected nor required an answer.
May 25th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Mr. Harris-
I love this website and I really appreciate your work. But Im starting to find it a little frustrating with their being such a long delay before responses are posted.
Toni- When you read this (sometime tomorrow)
Anna didn’t update her will because frankly see didn’t have time to update her will. She died a mere five months after her son died and her daughter was born. And although it may be easy for US to criticize the both of them for not staying on top of such a seamanly important thing, the simple fact of the matter is, with the nearly over whelming grief of the loss of a son and the excitement/stress of a newborn baby at home, most likely they just wernt thinking of it. It also worth to note, according to Anna’s friend Dr. Kris, Howard DID tell Anna that they needed to update their will in case something happened to them.
In regards to Howard accepting money from Anna. Everyone who doesn’t like Howard seems to very easily focus on the things they don’t like about him. They seem to conveniently ignore the fact that although he was her legal council, spokes person and manager, he didn’t charge her a cent. Debra Opri charged Larry Birkhead more than $600,000 for six months of work. Howard K. Stern worked for Anna Nicole Smith for more than ten years. She payed his rent. And bought him shoes.
Only a few days before Anna died, Mark Steines from Entertainment Tonight told the world that he was invited to Anna and Howard’s wedding. Anna’s good friend Pol Attu was making Anna’s wedding dress and Howard was under oath while he was testifying. Howard is a lawyer, if it was found that he was lying under oath not only would he be charged with perjury, most likely he would also be disbarred.
Its also worth to note that Judge Seidlin found Larry Birkhead’s testimony to be “general credible”, Virgi Author’s testimony to be “less than credible” and while Judge Seidlin also found Howard’s testimony to be “general credible” he was the only one was also considered to be “extremely credible” (In regards to his testimony about Daniel)
More than once Anna has all but admitted that if she didn’t have Howard or her daughter she would have committed suicide. At times I have wondered what if things where reversed? What if it was Howard who died tragically and not Anna? Most likely all four of those graves would be occupied as we speak.
May 25th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Nice tale #63…too bad what you say is nonsense. Many ppl around them have confirmed that the wedding was to take place. Anna had stated on LKL that she wanted another child w/o the father’s involvement. LB filed for custody and child support shortly after Daniel’s death (tacky). Daniel’s death made her take stock of what was important and what was not. Ask ANS’s family (the same ones that are shown on video giving her a pill around Christmas in the 90’s), her previous friends, managers, hangers-on etc why they were not able to stop her. You also assume that all medications that she took were recreational. Before you type, read her autopsy report. You do not know what you are talking about. Go back to TMZ w/ this nonsense #63. By the way, she was a resident when she died. Nice spin about the will, ANS probably wud have not updated her will(which was in CA, by the way, and not drawn up by HKS in the 1st place). The new will wud take Daniel’s name and replace it w/ the baby. ANS said that she did not want to replace one child for another…Do some research before you type such nonsense. No one thinks of a will when you have pending custody and grief. Ask the person who drew up the other will if he ever contacted her to update it. ANS had other lawyers…..Please do some research and stop drinking the tabloid Kool-aid.
May 26th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Thanks HW Marron and Marb for addressing the comments made by Toni or any other naysayers for that matter. I would have responded to Toni ( apology for mispelling it earlier). Neverthless I did not see the need as I do not think Toni wanted to see my views.
Art thanks again for providing a forum that I can express my opinion. Just to add, Toni I do not swear for anyone, I just do not see any reason to think differently or change my view of Howard from the start of the Anna Nicole Show. I thought he was a great guy and had hoped that Anna realized what she had by her side. If you have seen some of the videos , Anna flirted with Howard, why wouldn’t he fall for her. She was beautiful seemed caring, unselfish, funny,strong, a good mom that fought to remove herself and her son from an environment that she felt was crippling to her. I believe more than anything that this contributed more to many of the hardships that she struggled with and ultimately contributed to her death. This downfall started long before Howard became a part of her life. It was Anna that had to break that cycle of depression and change the outcome which she did to a certain extent. She just needed to know that someone cared and loved her despite her shortcomings. Howard was all that to her. But, there is only so much that you can do for the physical. Howard tried to take care of all that Anna wanted or needed physically. The spiritual has to be taken care of more than anything else and that is something far different than the physical. This part of you is not seen openly especially if you do not want anyone to know. Anna being in the public eye had to hide this pretty well and project that everything is fine. Look back on her tapes after her son passed. What can you really say? Nothing. Her spirit was broken, she was hurting and that was not an easy place for her and Larry filing a lawsuit against her and everything else did not help. That just added fuel to the fire. I can’t imagine either what Howard could have been going through wanting to offer Anna comfort , wanting to help, to take some of the pain and not being able to do that and then being torn apart and blamed by the media for not doing what NOBODY in her life was able to do either. YET, they have a right to pass judgemnt? Go figure. Just my 2 cent thought on the matter. I could go on but I have things to do. I just pray for Howard, even Larry, especially Dannylyn because I want to see them rise above this tragedy. Pointing fingers is not doing anyone any good. Unlike some others, I want to see a different outcome not a repeat of the current circumstances:)
May 26th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
HOW DARE ANNA SLEEP HER WAY AND CHEAT HER WAY TO WIN THE POT OF GOLD! THAT IS “NOT HER HOUSE”
YES, YOU SHOW UM YOUR GOODS…. THEY GO FOR IT AND BOOM YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL THE LOVEY GIFTS DINNERS DRINKS
WHAT MORE DOES A “LADY” WANT? SHE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN
CHEAP TRASHISH KIND OF POOR ME GIRL…..LETS ALL GET REALLY REAL!!!!! TRASH DOES TRASHY THINGS …AND IT ALL IS BEING SHOWN….EVERY DAY….SAD BUT TRUE….THAT LITTLE GIRL CAN LIVE A NORMAL LIFE IF ALL STOP CALLING HER THE QUEEN BEE!
May 27th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
has anyone heard any more about the inquest and how it is comming along.I have not heard anything much about anything for some time now since larry brought dannylyn back to the states. Is the cases still going on or what? if so please wish howard and larry the best in the up comming cases. My prayers are with everyone. patricia.
May 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Get a clue and STEP-OFF Howard already!
Why didn’t Howard insist she update her will? Who has ANY PROOF, her attorneys including Rale didn’t bring up this subject to her when she was pregnant? Her will was written by Eric Lund ESQ in 2001, did anyone even remmeber what was in it? Did Howard ever read it?Any PROOF, he did?We know he didn’t DRAFT it or WITNESS it…
Hmmm maybe they were going to do it after the wedding,why do it twice? Maybe…after Daniel died, she wasn’t of ”SOUND MIND and BODY” which is a REQUIREMENT to sign a will to make it VALID…
IF Anna had signed a NEW will soon AFTER Daniel had died, THAT will would surely have been EASY to contest based on her fragile state of mind…so therefor..HER WILL COULDN’T BE LEGALLY REDONE.
At least she had a will….and thank GOD Virgie and the rest of the dysfunctional hillbillies were dis-inheirited.!
May 28th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Dear Art,
Happy Memorial Day!
May 28th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Toni, you show great insight and judgement. I agree with everything you have written!!!
May 29th, 2007 at 2:10 am
protect Dannielynn, He was her advisor he looked at that document before she signed it. Why didn’t he stop her. He’s such a great atty. He never headed any of the cases she won during the Marshall hearings. At most he was a paralegal. Read up on it. You want the truth. Quit spinning it.You don’t have to insult people to make your point. Guess what I’m a hillbilly too. And I don’t appreciate because you don’t like Vergie you attack all hillbillies. My brother has been serving over in Iraq since the war started for your freedom and he’s a hillbilly too. FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
May 30th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Art, Thank You for your dedicated journalism on this case and providing this forum for our opinions. You are greatly appreciated!
HW Marron, Howard worked on contingency fee of 6% of the Marshall winnings. In the meantime Anna supported him financially. Now I also remember Bonnie saying that their parents gave him money and supported him. Anyway. Yes, “Howard is a lawyer”. I believe Howard was an attorney who went against his oath as a lawyer… a lawyer who has unethical practices. Such as, having a relationship with his client. And supporting his client by having prescription drugs filled out in his name not intended for himself but for his client. This is grounds for disbarment.
protect DANNIELYNN!!!, And maybe Anna didn’t want to renew her will while she was pregnant cause she probably didn’t know or read about the part that disinherited all future children!
Thank you sandy powell. Excellent comment! Ron Rale was Anna’s attorney in CA and second on the list of Executor to her Will. They knew what the Will said. Come to think of it Ron Rale faxed the will 5 days before Anna died.
Marb Says: “LB filed for custody and child support shortly after Daniel’s death (tacky).”
I have to disagree with this statement. After Howard put his name on the BC, what 2 weeks after Anna gave birth. Larry found out and filed a paternity suit and wrongful BC. Larry only wanted to be known he was the biological father with the DNA test, as he and Anna had already known he was the biological father as they had previously discussed. Then Howard didn’t fight Larry for custody but joined with Larry in his fight for full custody against Virgie. The saga continues….
Marb, I read the autopsy report and the list of Rx prescriptions Anna had in her system. Did you know that 8 of those RX’s were in Howard’s name? Including the Chloral Hydrate..the one that Anna overdosed on? Read Up !
For your information, I do not post on TMZ to go back to that site!
Lee, I appreciate your kind post! I know I’m sounding rhetorical again, the same issues keep coming out with different views and that’s ok. People tend to pick and choose what is believable to them from the shows, the interviews, in court, readings, etc. For the most part I agree with most of everything you said. I’m glad she had Nanny Gibson to pray with her. I’m sure that gave her some piece in her life. But Anna was a very sick woman, her prescription drug addiction, stress, infections with fever and her suicidal tendencies. At the least with the latter two, the more reason to get her in a hospital fast, because at that point I wouldn’t care what Anna’s wishes were.
I was very touched by this video, “Anna Nicole’s Lost Video about her Addiction to Prescription Drugs” The people around her (in 1995 I believe) including her mom did get her help. If you haven’t seen it please watch it. This video tells it all!
http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2007/02/anna_nicoles_lost_interview_ab.html
I pray for Dannielynn, Larry, Howard, Virgie and all parties involved for peaceful and Just outcome.
God Bless Anna and Daniel. May their memory be eternal.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:36 pm
I hear you Toni, but Anna was very strong willed. Not sure if you saw the video of her and her cousin Shelly. If you do you see clearly that Anna did what Anna wanted. While I do not agree with abusing anything. I cannot finger the blame to Howard. I just do not see it that way. We are ultimately responsible for ourselves and this world does not make the choices any better. If Howard is wrong then we all are wrong. How much have we helped and how much are we helping now. We all throw our comments careless and all and how do we know how much hurt these comments can do. I surely do not want to be responsible for condemning anyone and after realizing that i was wrong. I do not see any reason to blame him. I’m a stranger and wished I could have helped, but after going over it i realized that there was nothing I could have done. I see things in my own family and you want to shake them and tell them to wake up. I can only love them and pray that they wake up and see, but I cannot go through life holding myself responsible for what they will not allow themselves to see. They have to make that change and it’s always easier said than done.
May 31st, 2007 at 10:40 pm
To toni #74…i know about the RX in Howards name and am also aware that they were at therapeutic levels and her organs did not display signs of a drug abuser. If ANS was Jane X the prescirtion wud be in her name (ask celebs in CA). He stepped down as her “official” lawyer once the personal relationship developed which was the proper thing to do. His standing with the CA bar was fine. LB filing the suit at that time was still tacky. He wasted time w/ DO when he was advised to take it to the Bahamas early on. DO shud have been kicked to the curb months ago. Her aggressive tactics are more suited in criminal and not custody cases. One phone call from him to HKS might have made some difference as was proven later. ANS wud not have been trashed in the media due to the circus in FLA. Having said that, I hope LB matures enuf for the sake of that baby. I do wish him well. As far as ANS family is concerned, it has become apparent to me during these past few months that she really did not have a caring one. It is so sad that ANS reached out to strangers(such as the lady on the witness stand in FLA or relatives of the Shelly’s) referring to them as mama/mawmaw. No matter what your child say or do, you bite the bullet and say “WHATEVER I DID TO YOU, I AM SORRY..YOU ARE MY KIN AND I LOVE YOU. I AM SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR SON. I WILL KEEP REACHING OUT TO YOU NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. I AM IN THE BAHAMAS AND WILL STAY HERE UNTIL YOU SEE ME”. Do not let 10+ years go by and then cry or bring flowers after she passes. ps..As i have said before, LB needs pictures of and restraining orders out on almost all of ANS’s relatives NOW.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Lee, I hear you as well and see your point of view. I saw a clip of a Shelly video where she was outside wanting to see Anna and Anna refused to see her. Howard was going in and out relaying messages saying to Anna Shelly was upset and crying. But later Anna agreed to have dinner with Shelly without cameras rolling. Is this the one? Anna was strong willed, I agree. I also understand she needed different pills for all her ailments she suffered with. Yes, a person with an addiction must see for themselves they need help. It’s so sad the last few days of her life Anna was way beyond realizing she needed help when she was so sick in bed. What bothers me the most is what Dr. Perper said, her life could have been saved had she gone to the hospital for professional treatment.
Marb, I didn’t realize Howard stepped down as her “official” lawyer. Howard said in the FL court his personal relationship developed with Anna in 1999-2000 I believe. You can watch the video of “Howard on the Stand” on ET where he said Anna was his whole world, goes on to say.. “it was not exclusive because of my relationship as her attorney, something we didn’t disclose to other people”. “She had other boyfriends” he goes on to say. How did HKS take the Marshall case to the Supreme Court and be eligible for the 6% contingency fee he would receive if he wasn’t her attorney? I guess it’s all irrelevant cause he still has a law degree in CA and will continue the Marshall case eventually, as far as we know for now.
Anna had an emptiness in her life and was seeking and desperately needed a mother figure and friend in her life and looked to those around her also including GT and Mrs. Gibson. I feel she also needed a man to love her and take care of her with all her law suits …and found it in Howard.
Shame on Virgie for not being there for her daughter especially after Daniel died. I would have camped out at her gate if it were me! Virgie may have blown her chance to ever see her granddaughter again, even going to where she is under supervision. Yeah, I believe I read Larry had to hire armed guards to protect Dannielynn and himself. What a way to live, huh?
June 1st, 2007 at 3:30 pm
The should have ,could have ,would have scenario. No one will ever know , nor anyone would have known if she still would have lived or not. We all think that we could have somehow changed the outcome had we did this or that. But no one knows for sure. She is highly tolerable when it comes to taking her prescription.Again, I do not believe in abusing anything. However depression is a very destructive thing. I’m not basing my thoughts from what I read , but from experience . Been there done that with the exception of losing a child. So I can understand Anna. You just want to sleep and wake up and the problems all gone. Unfortunately life is not that way. It is very tough Everything contributed to that fateful day. Howard is not the cause of that. I really feel that had she not lost her son her body would have handled whatever she took and she would have come through and no one would have known.Emotionally and psychologically her body could no longer handle anything after her son passed and in addition to. There was another celebrity Gerald Levert, he was prescribed medication and he died from an adverse reaction to that as well. I just feel her time was up and I do not think she could have taken anymore. Losing her son was the final straw. This is my thought. I’m not God so I can’t say for sure. People come into our lives for a time and for a season and I think her time was up. I saw something different in her eyes and expression in the last days.
June 1st, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Finally had a minute to re-examine the exclusive court order I posted…the one issued by Judge Allen ordering GBT to put up $100,000 cash bond if he wants to keep suiing for the house he sold or gave Anna…
One (poor) reader questioned its authenticity, but obviously didn’t see, or chose to ignore, the official Supreme Court Registry stamp smack on the first page; it’s dated May 15, 2007 in a box with Nassau, Bahamas. He claimed it was not signed, but failed to mention that Judge Allen had indeed INITIALED the page plain as day. It’s often customary to initial rather than sign a page to acknowledge you’ve read and approved it.
If you look on the left side near the word, ORDER, you can see: “a. allen S-J and the date 7-5-07.” Left margin in full view.
Hope this dabs up today’s crocodile conspiracy tears. He may be getting away with dishonesty and bad manners on other blogs, but we’re calling him on it here. We don’t appreciate deliberate misrepresentations and attempts to slip it under the radar with spin that’s designed to sow doubt here…It’s not only snide, but wrong–and sources tell us this writer knows it’s wrong before he writes it, but may have other agendas. As some say down South, “don’t p– on my leg and tell me it’s rain.” AH
June 1st, 2007 at 11:11 pm
Great one Art. And they thought you were sleeping!Loved the way you put it.
June 2nd, 2007 at 12:22 am
Lee, I have a hard time expressing in writing how I feel or how I should say something. But I have to ask you a question regarding your last comment #78. I have a gut feeling after reading your comment especially after reading this sentence,,, “I saw something different in her eyes and expression in the last days.”
Were you close with Anna? Did you actually see her? Otherwise how would you know such detailed information?
June 2nd, 2007 at 2:27 pm
I didn’t know her personally and it is hard to explain so that you can understand. I will try. My statement is not from what I read and it is not a gut feeling for me. I lived it and have seen it more than once. If you do not know how to get pass that place it will swallow you up. She fought all her life to shed herself of all the negativity and tried to rise above it. Amidst everything she almost did I think in the final months. She laughed and goofed all the time. It’s the smoke screen to prevent others to see what was really within. She only allowed one person to see that.Howard. The medication and the funny free epirit is truly who she is but it is only a temporary fix for the real turmoil that was twirling within.This world is not sympathetic and does not give you a break long enough and I truly feel you would have seen a better Anna had she lived. Being in the Bahamas would have been the therapy she needed and I feel she was ready to settle down. When her son passed everything hidden surfaced. The one person she fought hard to protect died , having another child cannot soften that. You still think and question and wonder. Drugs has always been apart of her life , drama and mayhem and it caught up to her in the worst way. I’m sure her looking at DL, she thought, how much can she protect Dl if she could not do that for her son. I don’t think she wanted to die, but I don’t think she knew how to go on living either. If you notice , most couples that have been together for years when one passes, the other passes not too long after. Emotionally you give up if you do not know how to go on. No one can coach you through that, a higher power has to take over. I’m very analytical and I love people and want the best for everyone. I think sometimes more than I should. I just have always looked at eyes and body language through experience because I don’t ever want to think that I could have helped someone and missed the opportunity because I was too busy. Hopefully I shed some light as to why I feel the way I feel and I have made you understand somehow. This is a public forum so I can only say so much.Be blessed and it’s is a pleasure. My aplogies to you if I have ever sounded harsh or judgemental in anything that I have written here. I would rather gain a friend than lose one.
June 2nd, 2007 at 9:23 pm
As a followup to the previous statement, ANS shud have moved to the islands years ago. These places are truly spiritual. The food, fresh air, ppl wud have made her stress level and depression lessen.She might have found some serious peace before Daniel’s death. From what i understand, she was having various ppl read bible scriptures to her. Her spirituality was coming to her. The commitment ceremony was very spiritual(my understanding is that there were many tears of joy and sadness shed during it). I only wish that LB had hopped on a plane earlier on and gone there even if she wudn’t see him. He might have seen his daughter at some time there. One thing that convinced me that HKS was not thrilled w/ her moving at first was when LB said that HKS kept calling him at work and accused him of not acting right towards ANS. As LB said outside of court one day, his quarrel was never w/ HKS it was w/ ANS(regard’g custody). Some ppl are wondering why these 2 men are work’g together..it is simple(both love Danielynn and want her to be happy). HKS is the only one who has his heart in it to work for her legal welfare(others like Opri might do work for other gains). I hope that the GROWN-UPS(LB & HKS) now realize that the baby is top priority. Their differences or personal feelings as to what came before shud now be irrelevant.
June 23rd, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Art, Are there any updates?
May 16th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Its so sad that people are still fighting over this same topic. Thompson and his “sidekick” who I think just wnated media attention from the beginning, obviously didnt own the house in Bahamas like they said. If so, it would be as simple as evicting Stern . They couldnt do that and now it appears it isnt their home as they said. Something was fishy there. Stern, I believe loved Anna and no matter what his faults – he was always with her, helping her. She CHOSE to give him money and invite him in to live w/ her.. noone makes someone do anything. So, for him to get blamed for so much is unfair. He was a friend and someone who loved Anna. If she didnt want him she wouldnt hv had the commitment ceremony w/ him. Besides she has passed away- let her be in peace. I think Annas mom was a nut — is a nut. I’m sorry dont mean to be cruel but she lied on the stand . I saw it on t.v. She clearly was making money and selling stories and this and that. Trying to profit from Annas fame… She has no claims to Annas child ever…and I cant even believe she thought she did, considering Anna had nothing to do w/ her. She hated Stern because she was jealous that he was in Annas life. You cant blame one person for STEALING anohter away. People choose their own paths and who they want to be with , live with, share with and spend money on… Noone forced her to take drugs either. Thats her doing.. unfortunately. And for all that talk bad of Anna? I think you should remember those who throw stones and talk bad of her… are just as bad. Thou shalt not judge remember? Drug use is an addiction, just as overeating is, smoking, or any vice that you are dealing with . We are human, so was she. Give her a break now.

the only question left is how does stern get to keep the horizon home if it was anna nicoles. shouldn’t larry and the baby have the home. since danielynn is sole heir.
