Bald Truth Exclusive: Inside Anna-Vergie Wars; See Nasty Letters In Stern Defamation Case! “Texas” Talkin’ Tall; HKS Lawyers Claim Big Stick
By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
In another Bald Truth exclusive, we bring you more fighting words –new exhibits from the Stern-O’Quinn defamation wars.
First, a threat letter from Vergie Arthur lawyers demanding Team Stern stop trashing Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, or else…Then lawyer Krista Barth’s counter-punch, an epistle back across the Texas bow, challenging the motive JOQ offered on one talk show for Anna’s murder—that Howard K. Stern was plotting to collect on seven, $10 million life insurance polices we’re told never existed!

exhibit-correspondence-from-m-krista-barth-to-don-clark-dated-3-20-2007.pdf
It’s not known where that bogus info came from—I’m told she had no life insurance – but if the source of that rumor can be traced, well, add one more defendant to litigation Team Virgie can afford to stretch out for a long time, just for fun.
In a deposition, John O’Quinn said he’s spent $400,000 to bankroll Vergie’s lawsuit –pocket change for a go-go plaintiff’s lawyer worth a reported billion dollars from litigation on behalf of breast implant victims.
Where will it end? If Anna’s—and now Dannielynn’s estate—brings home the half billion dollar lotto ticket from the Marshal estate lawsuit, and executor Stern keeps funding the fight, well, we’re betting the defamation case could turn into a neverending, lawyers’ full employment act.
And what could emerge is a portrait of one of the most dysfunctional families in Texas history, that produced an over-the-top sex symbol who became a Playboy centerfold and reality television star for outrageously entertaining behaviour…and a family tree that includes a step-brother doing hard time in a Texas prison for aggravated assault and rape, and a half-brother who did time for kidnapping and was never the same after he accidentally shot himself at 3 with his mother’s gun.
That Vergie’s lawyer could threaten Stern’s lawyer with defamation for stating the above facts about Anna Nicole’s family we’ve confirmed and reported on television and written about here begs logic, and a chutzpa reality check.
But, yes, in one letter we post here, O’Quinn investigator Don Clark has the audacity to threaten Stern lawyer Krista Barth with a Defamation Suit — AND dispatches a copy of the letter to the Florida State Bar and the Florida Attorney General tattling about nothing.
What does that tell us? Well, that, while blond and beautiful, Barth’s got big brains and cajones to match any ten gallon Texan, even a charismatic, smooth-talking former FBI agent like Clark, who worked for the feds in Houston when O’Quinn snapped him up as his chief investigative consultant, and holds forth regularly as a cable news talk show guest. It also suggests that by sending a letter to the state bar in Florida, O’Quinn’s well aware of the state’s laws on defamation, libel and slander, and may be contradicting one line of his defense in the Stern defamation case. Oops.

Good grief, how many people is HKS going to sue???? He has got to make that money somehow, since he can’t live off of Anna anymore. Wait, he is STILL living off of Anna!!!
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:28 pm
Krista Barth never stops. Howard and everyone else has said terrible things about Vergie. She says nothing anymore but if you read all the posts on here they say terrible things about her. I hope O’Quinn wins.
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Oh, like anyone can ruin Virgies rep, shes done that all herself, how she can even show her face in public is beyond me, I bet she never leaves the trailer. Shame on O’Q.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I was looking at some of O’Quinn’s past cases and AT LEAST 5 times he has filed for defamation against others AND none of them were near what he did to HKS. O’Quinn alleged HKS committed 2 separate murders AND used his ability as a lawyer to do crimes with NO PROOF.
O’Quinn is screwed and in the end he won’t think it’s all fun and games. I hope the Texas Bar gets this guy for violating rules, or can Florida do something since he was acting in their ‘jurisdiction’? I hope someone has filed a complaint against him AGAIN!
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:17 pm
GO HOWARD!! SHUT HIM UP!
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:23 pm
Damn my computer won’t let me read what it had to say. Someone post some of it for me. Thanks
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm
ART, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT ARTICLES, UPDATES AND DOCUMENTS. I REALLY ENJOYED DON CLARK’S LETTER TO KRISTA BARTH AND HER’S BACK TO HIM. JOHN O’QUINN DOES’NT SEEM INTELLIGENT AND BRIGHT AS HE SHOULD BE FOR HIM NOT TO KNOW THAT LETER WAS SENT TO KRISTA BARTH WITH HIS FIRM’S LETTERHEAD. I AGREE WITH KRISTA BARTH THAT WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT VIRGIE ARTHUR WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT JOHN O’QUINN CALLED HOWARD K. STERN.
I SURE HOPE THIS GOES TO COURT AND COMES OUTIN HOWARD K. STERN’S FAVOR. TOO BAD THEY COULD SUE THAT TRAINWRECK OF A PERSON DONNA HOGAN FOR HER BOOK. I READ IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE DID ALL THIS RESEARCH AND BASICALLY MADE UP LIES FOR WHAT SHE WANTED TO. SHE ALSO CONTRADICTED HERSELF ALOT THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. I RECALL WHEN SHE WAS ON DR. PHIL SHE WAS TELLING BONNIE STERN SHE WAS GLAD HOWARD WAS IN ANNA’S LIFE AND THE NEXT DAY AND AFTER THAT SHE WAS ON TALK SHOWS THRASHING HOWARD AGAIN.
I CHECKED OUT THE BOOK AT THE LBRARY. I WOULD NOT WASTE MY MONEY ON THAT TRAINWRECK BOOK AND THE WRITER.
DONNA HOGAN IS ANOTHER JOKE OUT OF COMEDY CENTRAL. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR WONDERFUL REPORTING. I’M GLAD THINGS ARE FINALLY LOOKING GOOD FOR HOWARD K. STERN.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm
I think all they are doing is showing us all how stupid they are. Texas hot shot lawyer, isn’t so hot or bright after all.
I do believe they are running scared and grasping at straws.
The very nerve of them.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:49 pm
The question is not if but how long will it take to settle the score on the people he thinks caused Anna’s Death and will LB escape what he has coming because of DL or will his own shady deals and lies catch up with.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:30 pm
I for one would like to know if don clark is the FBI agent that told VA so to go to o’quinn.could be quite the story there if so.o’quinn said he didn’t tell Don Clark to send the letter but someone had to ok it even if there is no prove of it in e-mails or written forms.He would not have done this on his own unless VA son asked him to and I don’t think he could get away with something like that,at least I hope not.I for one don’t believe o’quinn doesn’t e-mail I’M his age or close to it and I do.He may have gotten around that by saying he did not e-mail himself but maybe he reads them and has someone else awnser for him. Who would know.I would hope someone sent a letter to the Texas State Bar,Maybe Rusty Hardin can have another go at him.would be fun to hear about at any rate.Does anyone know if Rusty Hardin is still handling the Marshall case.I would think maybe he has moved on.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:30 pm
sorry VA son
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:43 pm
Art harris,
your completely right this is a lawyer games!
But for the ordinary public like me, it is a good teathcing lesson from United States and Bahamas system of legislations and laws.
O’Q. and Vergie are together and I am pretty sure they will come back with something else I don’t know if they ad an off publicity right now but… will see
August 24th, 2007 at 12:32 am
Art,
Once again, I have to commend you and thank you for reporting the latest activities related to the ANS saga. I used to check in at TMZ first for my ANS related news. Now I check your site first and then I check TMZ to see if they are keeping up with you. So far, Art, it appears to me that TMZ has dropped the ball on this one.
I believe that there are many others like myself in the public who have followed this case from the beginning. I personally would like to continue to have the news reports that you produce so that myself and others who are so inclined can continue to follow the multiple layers of this case. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out. I think there may be more surprises to come in the future.
Larry Birkhead and Howard K Stern’s actions are currently being portrayed by some as unethical, immoral and even illegal in some instances. I am not saying that Larry and HKS are in the right and I’m not saying that any of the other parties such as John O’Quinn, Virgie Arthur, and Debra Opri are in the wrong. But wouldn’t it put an interesting twist on things if it was proven at the end of the day that Larry Birkhead and Howard K Stern are doing nothing unethical, immoral or illegal in regards to this ongoing saga?
August 24th, 2007 at 12:37 am
kim, If someone said you killed 2 people and was taking 10 life insurances of more then 10 million, I’m sure you would sue too. Howard has all the right to go after these low life sum. As for Virgie she is still trying to get Dannielynn and her money. Just because you have not heard from her latley dose not mean she is out of the picture. Her suit for Dannielynn is still in the works. I hope Howard keeps these pigs in court until they die. Now we know that the Horizon WAS Anna’s home, Shelly and Tompson tried to steal it from her. Yes, Howard will sue until justice is done. I’d do the same also.
August 24th, 2007 at 1:11 am
Howard keep up the good work and knock their socks off one by one! As I have always said, you will prevail.
I have been away for a long time and took some catching up here to read everything that is going in Howard’s favor. I enjoy reading all in regard to the justice for Howard. Thank you Art.
IMO…..the party for Dannielynn is way over the top for a baby girl. This is not about Larry, it is supposed to be about a little girl turning one. A small gathering with family and friends, in her own hometown. With a few photos to keep us all updated on her progress as a beautiful girl and satisfy the paparazzi. Anna and Howard moved her to the Bahamas so she would stay out of the huge spotlight, but Larry keeps throwing her back in for himself. Maybe a good parenting book would come in handy. Fame is not all it is cracked up to be and he is working it way too hard. I am glad Howard has been invited as he should be. She will be so happy to see a quiet and lovely familiar face. She has had too many changes in her young life for this big hoopla.
August 24th, 2007 at 2:12 am
Martha, very good question – “will Larry escape what he has coming because of Dannielynn”? My guess is that he will, because Howard would find it impossible to do anything that might even indirectly hurt Anna’s little girl. Larry will be a thorn in the side of Howard forever. Larry has no problem with hiding behind and using Dannielynn. Larry was the most vicious of them all. He should be pay in more ways than one for what he did to Howard and Anna. Life is not fair – Larry gets all the rewards and Howard is left to clean up the mess that Larry did more than his share to make. What makes me sick is this – every battle that Howard fights and wins is a win for Larry and in my opinion Larry deserves NOTHING!
August 24th, 2007 at 2:56 am
HKS trashed about virgie? ummm…no. virgie needs to take responsibility for her actions. That is where I get my opinion of her.
August 24th, 2007 at 3:19 am
It seems awfully strange to me, the only names on the medications that Daniel and Anna died from was Anna herself and Howard K Stern, Martha #8. Maybe Mr. Stern needs to take responsibility for his roll of enabler and mess up instead of trying to blame everyone else. But, he wouldn’t be able to make any money if he did that, would he?
Dear Gidget:
I love the way some of you write the Gospel as if you were there when it was handed out.
Did you realize that Ford Shelley and his wife, Gina, received special instructions on how to dispense Anna Nicole’s ‘s methadone and other prescriptions when they so kindly invited her to South Carolina, then whisked her to the Bahamas to install her at Horizons as she tried to put some distance between her and Larry Birkhead?
When we spoke, Ford was obviously nervous playing nurse, but apparently did a decent job of making sure she got meds as prescribed; no one is blaming him for her accidental overdose, nor should they, but I find it fascinating that he and others often leave out their caretaking roles they blame others for botching.
Oh, and another little known factoid in what appears to have been a successful group effort to ween her off the pain med before Dannielynn was born…none other than ex boyfriend-turned sort of benefactor, G. Ben Thompson, sources tell me, also fetched her medicine as a favor of convenience, and at least one prescrption was written in his name.
While Dr. Perper found a trace of methadone in Anna’s bile, none was found in Dannielynn, who turned out to be a drug-free baby, ironically, thanks to the efforts of those fingers keep pointing at.
In allowing various opinions on these pages, I’m amazed, at the level of certitude some espouse when declaring day is night and night is day. Sometimes, it’s just dusk. –Art
August 24th, 2007 at 6:18 am
I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I HEARD DON CLARK ON TELEVISION.FOR A FORMER HEAD OF THE FBI IN HUSTON,HE DID NOT APPEAR AS SMART AS ANY OF THE FEDERAL AGENTS I HAVE MET AND TALKED TO,ON OTHER MATTERS.I DO NOT KNOW WHAT BEING ON TELEVISION DOES TO PEOPLE,BUT IT SEEMS LIKE FOOT IN MOUTH TIME,I HAVE NOT HEARD OR READ THAT HOWARD HAS SAID ONE WORD,EXCEPT TO REPEAT WHAT VIRGIE IS SAYING,VIRGIE HAS GONE ON NATIONAL AIR WAVES AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN STATED THAT HOWARD STERN WAS TO BLAME FOR ANNA DEATH,AND HER SONS.MOST PEOPLE I KNOW,WOULD NOT HIRE A LAWYER,LIKE LIN WOOD IF THEY HAD SOMETHING TO HIDE. TO BAD LARRY DID NOT KNOW EARLY ON VIRGIE WAS HIS PROBLEM,NOT HOWARD,VIRGIE,ACTS LIKE A SPOILED CHILD,I WANT MY WAY,OR ELSE.
August 24th, 2007 at 8:26 am
It’s my understanding what was said about Vergie was
]true..her dysfunctional family, Anna’s, as well as
others claims of abuse,no contact for 10+ years..even
when Danny died…This is not made-up..but true..on
the otherhand using the “M” word over and over..calling
HKS a killer 0f two..is a horse of a different color!!!
Make em’ pay!!!!!
August 24th, 2007 at 8:34 am
Art,
This is very interesting. I think Howard will do what’s right. I think he will know when to fold them, if need be. Right now, I want him to keep socking it to them!
August 24th, 2007 at 8:38 am
Joni,
Why did Clark leave the FBI? I think it’s time we find out.
August 24th, 2007 at 9:08 am
Marsha Says:
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:28 pm
Krista Barth never stops. Howard and everyone else has said terrible things about Vergie. She says nothing anymore but if you read all the posts on here they say terrible things about her. I hope O’Quinn wins.
——————————————-
Marsha,
Just calling her name is a terrible thing to me. lol
August 24th, 2007 at 9:27 am
I can’t believe that Don Clark had the balls to send Krista that letter. He’s not an attorney with a law degree. He is as trashy as his client. Yes, I said it, now he can sue me!
August 24th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Art, how can you see? It must be so dark for you to see when you are so far up HKS’s behind.
August 24th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Maybe no one will ever collect any money. It certainly doesn’t look like Larry is going to collect on his “half a billion dollar lotto ticket”. Maybe they’ll all just keep suing each other until they all die out and then their children will have to sue their respective estates. It’s all madness!
August 24th, 2007 at 10:37 am
As for Krista supposedly trashing Virgie. How can you trash trash? I’m sure she never said anything that wasn’t true. O’Quinn, on the other hand, did nothing but lie about Howard.
I never heard anyone say anything about Virgie that she didn’t bring on herself by being the money grubbing lying pig she is. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for all that she is. When I think of all the things she’s done to her kids, makes me shudder.
August 24th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Reversal of fortunes causes desperate actions. Going after Ms. Barth….pathetic. Mr. O’Quinn seems to have done more damage to his client (with her assistance) than anyone else.
Good luck Krista Barth.
August 24th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Yea Go Howard I,m very much rooting for you and Larry I,m behind both of you guys 100%……Go TeamSmith.
August 24th, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Oh and by the way thanx Art for always being the Honorable Journalist that you are,one who always reports the facts…I wish their was more of them like you…
August 24th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Whenever I have seen John O’Quinn in interviews and after reading the depositions and other court documents he seems to come across as being a person with a lack of knowledge of the law, has a problem verbally expressing himself and has a very bad memory. His background suggests that he is none of these. The information in the deposition lists some very impressive achievements by Mr. O’ Quinn in his 40 years of practicing law. He has built a law firm of at least 25 attorneys. He is wealthy enough to represent and bank roll Virgie Arthur’s pursuit of her ANS related court case/cases to the tune of $400, 000.00 out of his own pocket. .He owns his own private jet. If you will go to http://search2.foxnews.com/search?entqr=0&access=p&qstr=&getfields=*&output=xml_no_dtd&sort=date%3A you will find numerous links for information on Mr. O’Quinn including his major philanthropic pursuits. It appears that he has been such a successful attorney that he has been able to afford many sizeable donations to institutions that now have buildings or departments named after him.
Is there a fox in the hen house? A wolf is sheep’s clothing? Sly like a fox? Just wondering??
August 24th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
I just got done reading both letters, and all I can say is LMAO…O’Quinn and Virgie are something else.
I’m sorry Marsha, but I dont see where you get off saying Howard said all kinds of terrible things about Virgie. Granted other ppl uncluding myself, said bad things about her, but that’s only b/c her and her family were planting their faces to any media outlet that would allow them, and accuse Howard of things without waiting for all the facts to come in. I have watched everything about his case since Feb, and I never once heard Howard say anything damaging towards Virgie, the way her and her clan has to him. Please show me some kind of proof, of Howard talking smack. The only thing I can think of, is when Howard came out of the court house in the Bahama’s the day the DNA was revealed and said something on the lines of, now he see’s what kind of woman she is, from what Anna has stated. But still that’s nothing compared to being called a “murderer” and along with other things.
Keep up the good work Art, and I look forward to reading more on this case!
August 24th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Maybe it is time O’Quinn and Virgie too for that matter are shut down. They had their 15 minutes of fame and used it very poorly.
August 24th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
BTW, which one of Virgie’s son’s is the FBI agent. I’ve heard conflicting stories about that. Can anyone give a definitive, substantiated answer? I also heard that it was O’Quinn’s wife you suggested he help her. So which is true?
Help. Anyone?
August 24th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
I’d just like to say that although you don’t see it plastered all over the TV anymore, which is most likely good for Howard. Their IS still intrest in this saga. Not only are all of us all over here, but if you go over to ET’s website for months and months the number one looked for story has been ANS and eventhough I can’t stand TMZ, every time DL sneezes, they still report on it.
August 24th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
who is the lawyer who was hit with the multi-million dollar judgement? i hope howard is rewarded a huge settlement from mr. o’quinn for all the untrue things he said about howard. howard didn’t kill anna or daniel. he loved them both. they were his family and he was there family. he loves dannielynn. He thought she was his daughter. even when it came out that he wasn’t, he still loves her no matter what. i’m glad he and larry are able to put their difference aside for dannielynn. larry and howard are following judge sidlin advise about giving dannielynn a chance of a normal life.
August 24th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
The bottom line here is that one is innocent until proven guilty. The medical examiner doing the autopsy already confirmed there were no signs of any physical harm done to ANS, or her son. Both untimely deaths were then confirmed by investgators to be terrible accidental deaths in both cases by lethal combinations of drugs. While HKS may not be a complete angel, it seemed evident that he love ANS deeply, and would not intentionally do her any harm. At this point, Virgie Arthur would probably be wise to back off, and start trying to make some kind of peace with LB, so she can get to see her own grandaughter. This is where her true healing will begin.

August 24th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Once again Art- you are the only source from within we can count on for updates and accuracy. I love what you said about Krista Barth having the cojones to “match any ten gallon Texan” – I think she is incredible. Watching her work in the Fla court, I saw people attacking her for being blond, flipping her hair, calling her “Kristi” as a disparaging move, etc. They could NOT attack her credibility, her brains or her talent – so, instead, they called her names like a middle school showdown. What was her mistake? Having to remind people such as a retired FBI agent and an attorney not to call or infer that someone she represented was a murderer without proof! Thank God someone stood up and finally said STOP! The media was out for Howard’s blood for ratings and as early as last night, they were trashing him again on a cable show. Here’s what I saw from Krista, Ron Rale, James Neavitt and Howard Stern in Florida: total decorum in an egregious situation dealing with the insanity of judge who thought nothing more of the deceased than to let her remain with the medical examiner while he auditioned for a television debut. Howard Stern and his team seemed to be the only group with class and sincerity to hold it together enough to provide respect for the circumstances. I think it’s laughable Don Clark speaks to “two unsolved deaths”. Again, it’s so clear they reject Dr. Perper’s conclusion re: Anna Nicole. They want literal blood from Howard K. Stern. Yes, a 20 year beloved boy is tragically dead and we all want to know why but Texas and Co. are willing to convict someone – anyone!- in order to step over that person to get to the money Dannielynn may/may not receive one day as a result of the Marshall estate rulings. It’s Pathetic.
August 24th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
This is becoming such a circus. Why don’t Virgie and O’Quinn crawl back under their rock.
August 24th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
I wish justice for HKS would prevail.Especially,Thompson and Shelly will pay for their actions.Also the media who trashed and slandered HKS name would get pay.I hate media people used their power to speculate and jumped up to conclusions because they could,regardless whom they attacked publicly.WAY TO GO HKS make them pay and I hope justice on ur side.
August 24th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Both Anna and Vergie did not like each other very much tune on to youtube.com to see it. If Mr. O’Quinn likes to waste his hard earned hours, an money than he is not a very intelligent business man, no one with that kind of money does this pro bono, media coverage is just not enough, unless like I said before that he has something to gain from this litigation like the Marshall money because perhaps he is a silent lawyer for the Marshall estate, and he wants to seduce Trailer trash Vergie to ease the pain and whisper the word settlement to her if she gains control that would his only reason for helping them. He smells money, he can taste it, he is a lawyer. I do not trust any of Anna’s poor family they all wanted something from her that is why she divorced herself from them all, years ago. Her FBI brother well now he is probably scouting out property as we speak for the good life.
Howard and Krista walk softly and carry a very stick, defamation hahahahaha what about the defamation to Howard’s character,psycological harrassment,fight for Dannilynn with both him and Larry, Vergie is still fighting however if Vergie was a smart woman, she would realize that both Anna and Daniel are not coming back nothing can bring them back what she should be doing is trying to build a relationship with her grand daughter, but she has again alienated the person who she needs to speak to and get along with, the sperm donor Larry. Larry make sure your home is secure.
Perhaps someone should give them the book How to win friends and influence people, the book the secret wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
August 24th, 2007 at 7:22 pm
Dear Art,
You may not like this and I’m quite sure most of those
that comment here WILL NOT LIKE this comment…
yet it’s The Truth…
Howard K. Stern represents to this country’s
television audience (Watchers), the biggest sissy
in recent history…that ever lived.
He represents the epitome of deprivation…
yet, he was born of privilege.
He has made a mockery of our legal system
and we congratulate him.
He has a great education, and parents behind him,
and I do not believe he ‘killed’ anyone…
yet his innocence precludes me.
He was born with a silver spoon and used that
to his best advantage… as did Anna/AKA Vickie Lynn.
Whe was born beautiful…he was born rich…
This is the True Story of beauty and the beast…
Let’s not be blinded by what we see and let’s not be blinded
by that pursuit of fortune he sought, and let’s not be
as blind as the naughty and the nice people
we see on TV.
Love Always,
Freida
August 24th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Now I see why John O’ GIN had to reaturn 52 million dollars.
He is a CAD
August 24th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Vergie said she hates money. That was the funniest thing I have ever heard anyone say. She could become a comedian to repay O’ Gin his money.
August 24th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
I think I know why O’Quinn, despite being a lawyer of allegedly high I.Q. and talent fired away at Howard K Stern with comments that definitely could be called “defamation of character” without being afraid of consequences….
I think… in my humble opinion …. the combined pressure upon HKS was so high, so explosive, that they all believed HKS would cave in and drop dead by a stroke or something … they did not expect him to survive and come back swinging …. in my humble opinion of course….
Go, Howard K Stern, go!
And bless you, Art Harris, for taking the less trodden high road and keeping us informed in a fair manner.
August 24th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
Dear Art,
It’s hard to tell, which one’s which…
The Beauty and The Beast…
LOL, I can’t wait until tomorrow…after everyone has read this and starts chewing and spitting.
August 24th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Did Don Clark also pay for the services of that Quack-a-minute, Jack Harden to snoop around LA, and make up stuff when he didnt find any dirt on Howard? That guy made crap up as he went along…mind bending drugs indeed…I guess we know who was REALLY taking them now, don’t we..? TEAM O’GIN!!
FYI-Virgie did have several children , all by different fathers, she did have a son who shot himself with her gun at age 3, she does have a son who kidnapped and tortured a woman in a wheelchair, she does have 2 ex hubbys who are child molesters, don hogan who raped her 11 year old sister, and the father of the fbi agent , who was convicted of incest. So where is the slander/libel here? If the TRUTH is viscious, so be it.
August 24th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Art, Thanks for all you do. I am grateful for the documents you provide. I remember when VA supporters were bragging about the letter sent to Krista. Wonder how they saw it?
August 25th, 2007 at 4:07 am
Those who think of Howard as the “Beast” are jealous because they wish they had someone in their life who is as decent and loyal as Howard was/is to Anna!
I find it hard to believe that O’Quinn might still be playing Sugar Daddy to Vergie Arthur. What can there possibly be in it for him? Fat fettishness?
I also remember that O’Quinn’s first version was that his wife was responsbile for getting him involved in Granny’s legal representation. Which is true?
O’Quinn’s philanthrophy is a laughing matter. Companies went bankrupt as a result of his breast implant lawsuits, which later proved to be a hoax. If I remember reading the paper correctly, he has been asked to return that money.
August 25th, 2007 at 9:22 am
I have been on Howard K Stern’s side through it all. He is not a BEAST as one writer says above. He is a perfect gentleman. He was Anna’s best friend and lover and the only person in the world who really loved and cared for her. I watched the Anna Nicole Smith shows and re-watched them again after Ann’a death. I never really liked Anna, but Howard was so obviously in love with Anna. Anyone who doubts Howard’s love for her should watch those shows because that was real. You see some of Anna’s trashy family members show up at Anna’s house and you see how Howard tries to talk Anna into seeing them and you see how Anna refuses and makes Howard tell them to leave. It’s all there!! Back then Howard and Anna didn’t admit they were a couple…probably because of the Marshall money that Anna was fighting for…..but you could see that Howard was in love even then. Howard and Anna act like they’ve been together forever and you don’t get that close unless you are lovers! Even at her heaviest, Howard looked at her like she was the only woman in the world. Most women would kill to have a man look at them the way Howard looked at Anna. HE LOVED HER and never deserved the way the media portrayed him during those months after Anna died. Nancy Grace and Greta make me sick to this day. I will never respect anything either of them have to say again….and before this happened I loved them both and believed whatever they said.
As one writer says above….they check here for news on the ANS story first…..so do I!! About once a week I go to Art Harris’ site to read the truth about what is going on and I am thrilled that things are looking up for Howard.
I HATE that Dannylynn is not Howard’s baby. He would have made a much better father to her…and he is the father Anna chose for her baby…not Larry. I really doubt we would be seeing her little face all over the magazine covers right now if Howard had been the real father! Anna was lucky she had such a wonderful man and at the end…she realized it and wanted to be married to Howard FINALLY.

Am glad to see so many team smith supporters on here.o’quinn has given much to taxas onlt it seems. Tax breaks. people in his pocket,Who knows.And yes I would hope HKS attorneys would have checked out Don Clark and VA son if only to find out how they knew each other or if they did.I would think that . Jack Hardin would be deositioned also at least I hope so. I also heard his first report and it said Danny was afraid of some of the people she associated with not later when he said it was HKS. I tend to believe it was the Thompson FS gang.I think he maybe heard something about them or saw something that gave him pause.OMHO
August 25th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
EJ,
I have no idea why Clark left the FBI. I really don’t know anything about him, except that he is an idiot for sending Krista that threatening letter.
These O’Quinn “people” are so ridiculous. They are all good for more than an few laughs, lol.
Everytime one of them opens their big mouths, it only shows everyone how stupid they are. I am baffled as to how O’Quinn made it through high school, let alone law school.
As I said earlier, how can you trash trash? Virgie has shown the world she is nothing but trash. Anything Krista would have ever said about her, would only be the truth.
I guess the truth is coming back to haunt them.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
Darn it Art,
I still think Howard K. Stern…is a good man!
I also think a lot of people are jealous!!!
August 25th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Susan in NC …. Oh Susan, how sweet, beautiful and true all your comments were. You made me cry! I just can’t understand how anyone could have any other opinion about Howard. Howard and Anna were a team, always together, he always had her back, she knew it. There had to be a lot of love, trust and respect from both of them for that kind of relationship to survive.
Missy, I agree with you as usual.
Isabel, you said… “Those who think of Howard as the
“Beast” are jealous because they wish they had someone in their life who is as decent and loyal as Howard was/is to Anna”! So true and I certainly agree.
August 25th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
susan If anna chose Howard to be the father of her baby, how and why did larry end up getting her pregnant twice. It looks like, Larry is the one she chose, and when she could not controll him, to do HER bidding as Howard did, she changed her mind. That shows how much love she had for anyone but her self. Howard was a fool to go along wiyh her and lie about being the father, when he knew he was not. He did a great injustice to aDannielynn and to Larry.
James: First off, those close to Howard tell me he believed he could indeed be the biological father, after he and Anna checked the calendar, and he set out to maintain his position in the courts until others could be ruled in or out by DNA. When Larry tested positive, he threw in the towel and reached out…Stern’s big fear–what if someone other than him or Larry Birkhead tested to be BioDad? Vergie Arthur and her Texas Tag team would be a shoe-in to succeed at what Anna would call the unthinkable–the Dannielynn be at risk for the same childhood fate she said she suffered. As we saw in her ET interview, and I’ve confirmed with others she’d spoken to about growing up over the years, she had a major nighthmare–that if her mother got Dannielynn. she might suffer the same cruelties Anna suffered growing up, and confided to those around her, including Howard and Larry.
Before Anna died, she intended to marry Stern, several close to her tell me, and raise Dannielynn as their baby. After she died, a grieving Stern had one mission–to protect Dannielynn and see that Anna’s last wishes were carried out, that she be buried next to her son, Daniel, and that Dannielynn would be safe, and raised by anyone other than Vergie.
When lab tests showed Birkhead was indeed the father, he had a new ally and an opening to carry out Anna’s wishes, and reached out. Thwarted at first by lawyer Debra Opri, who saw her brokering role and sugar client going down the tubes if Larry left the reservation, Howard kept reaching out to Birkhead, and they are now committed, having buried the past, to work together to raise a happy, protected little girl.
So far, it’s working, and so what if Larry wants to throw her a big bash? He’s the father, and is doing a fine job. We talked the other day about how much he loves her, how he brought her home to visit family a few weeks ago for a funeral, and how her presence lit up the mourners. She’s got Anna’s spirit, he told me, bubbly and eager to be with people, a social butterfly.
Whether Howard agrees, he’s honoring how Larry wants to celebrate the milestone, and the fact his family has been invited, not to mention Dolly Parton, well, it shows Dannielynn is a lucky child indeed, to have so many who love her, that her mother’s memories have drawn a legendary entertainer, and a Southern belle to boot, to honor the baby. –Art
August 25th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Dear Art:
I must respect your comment posted at the end of post #54, re. Dannielynn’s birthday bash. You’ve spoken to Larry Birkhead and know more about his character than I, who is someone who knows him only from what she reads in the media, including yours.
Personally, for MY child, I’d prefer a 1st birthday bash with only the immediate family and close friends present.
However, yes, Dannielynn is destined to have a different life from the moment of her conception.
I was compelled to follow the ANS/HKS/Dannielynn saga, every day, mostly because of the savage attacks upon Howard K Stern. I was convinced — as much as an outsider can be — that he was not guilty of murdering anyone, but also, I felt that his commitment to Anna Nicole was heartfelt and deep.
He seems to have dealt with a great deal of adversity with dignity. I hope he will truly persevere. And I hope that in the end, he will move on with his life while still remaining an uncle/guardian to the little girl whose birth he witnessed and celebrated with her late mother.
August 25th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
Jolie,
Howard never did any injustice to Larry or Dannielynn. I’ve never seen a more giving and loving man than Howard. I don’t know how you can say he did any injustice to anyone. Who do you think is working night and day to make sure Dannielynn has a great future?
It took a real man to help Larry for Dannielynn’s sake and I hope Larry realizes how lucky he is to have Howard’s help. Jolie, how many men do you know, would do all the things Howard has so unselfishly done for others? And is still doing.
August 25th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Art Thanks for your imput from other sourcesI just hope others read this and realise what some of the media,VA o’quinn and do di to HKS. Since LB and HKS seem to be getting along now no sence bringing up his following DO lead
August 25th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
How come all the same people keep posting on here. There are a couple of people that make up most of the posting. Something like 50 post and its about 6 people.
August 26th, 2007 at 1:38 am
I am flabbergasted that Dannielynn “supposedly” does not have “drugs” in her system…very thankful… Her greedy mother and others are waiting for money from the Marshall estate…personally I hope she gets nothing and grows up with a life of her own!
August 26th, 2007 at 9:01 am
Per #41 Frieda….wake up Lady and smell the roses…you are so misinformed. Howard was not born rich. Howard has never hurt ANYONE except maybe himself by his faith in others, including some of his friends. He is not a sissy, maybe you are judging him by some of your family and/or friends…that you should not do. He is a very handsome, quite, reserved attorney whom gave all to his client, Anna Nicole Smith. He was the only human being she could ever trust. As far as the Beauty and the Beast – this is an insult to Howard that never should be repeated; Rather it is more like the Prince and Cinderella. Yes, Howard definetly was Anna’a Prince.
And as for Larry Birkhead, he has proven he want’s Dannielyns money to keep him in a Hollywood lifestyle now and forever, you may refer to him as the Beast and I will agree.
Please, if you are going to trash Howard, do not use this website. We are here to hear good news about Anna, Howard, Dannielyn and the estate.
Mary Schoolcraft
PS: People, please don’t trash Art Harris either.
August 26th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Art, you’re right on. This whole saga is a lawyer’s full employment act. I suppose that’s what happens when a stripper gets her hands on half a billion dollars.
August 26th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Jolie: Of course this is pure speculation..but to quote you “why did Anna get pregnant twice with Larry’s baby” well I think maybe Anna just thought they would make a “cute” baby..I am sure her intellectual attachment to Howard was stronger than to Larry but somehow her emotional side always ruled in everything she did..including the drugs, various men etc.she slept with etc….
Howard in my eyes is a real decent guy and always has been but when you are an addict etc..you don’t want what is good for you..the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence..I know this from been there done that ..I wish Howard the very best and hope he meets a nice quality lady.
August 26th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Art, thanks for bringing things into perspective for Jolie. To be honest, I think that’s were alot of the anger you see at Larry here comes from. What she/he posted is basically representative of what the majority of people thought and still think of Howard and it was sold and perpetuated time and time again by Larry and Opri. Regardless of the state of things now between the two, that’s hard to accept.
For me, I don’t fault or resent him for trying to find out if Dannielynn was his. It’s what any decent man would do, where my issues arise is in the why and how. This could have been SO much more private, and should have been for Dannielynn’s sake. I know the majority of that is Opri’s doing, but the lingering resentment about Larry’s participation is hard to bypass.
I don’t mean to take the presumption of speaking for everyone, but this whole thing became personal for alot of us because of our own experiences on MBs and in conversations in defending Howard. I think may of us saw Howard, felt we read him right, and appreciated the battle and the beating the man took and as a consequence of that took up the charge to defend him when and where we could. The attacks and the vitriol that came from people directed at Howard, and his family, and those of us who supported him were NASTY and VIOLENT. There was a time where I actually feared for the man’s safety. It seemed with every sound bite from Larry and his early support of VA and her nonsense and the attacks got worse and worse.
Even though I don’t know Howard personally it smarts on his behalf to have to listen to Larry downplay Howard to nothing more than a sycophantish idiot. As much as I respect his alliance with Howard and his decision to work for, not against him, it doesn’t erase months of his sarcastic and hurtful statements for me.
I still remember all the comments he made, suggesting Anna and Howard were basically running a drug house (even though he turned around and told Geraldo that he never feared for the baby because he knew whatever Anna was on was for her and the baby’s safety and he told Larry King that neither of them would endanger the child), the seeming anger that Anna’s death was accidental as if he WANTED to know that the woman had been murdered by someone she spent that much time with, the “wouldn’t have happened on my watch” statement as if Anna wasn’t abusing prescriptions the WHOLE TIME THEY WERE TOGETHER. That’s just the tip of the iceburg. He contributed majorly to Howard’s current public persona and it seems he’s gotten away scot free with it.
He doesn’t take responsibility for anything he said or did during that time. Nothing was/is Larry’s fault and now that he’s come to his senses and is working with Howard it seems we’re all expected to jump on the bandwagon with no pause or objections. What we feel doesn’t really matter in the long run, and if Howard can turn the other cheek we should too. Unfortunately I haven’t developed the same level of forgiveness or self-sacrifice Howard has. He has DL to take care of (albeit from a distance) so he has more of a reason than we could ever understand. The rest of us aren’t privy to that so we’re stuck with the same lingering anger at everyone who did him wrong, and Larry is at the top of that list for many.
For the record, NO, I’m not trying to absolve Howard of all guilt. He’s not perfect and he made his fair share of mistakes, but out of all the players he’s paid and paid and paid for not only his mistakes and Anna’s mistakes, but the mistakes of every single person who’s ever loved someone with drug problem, for all the men who loved a woman so much they loved her kids like they were theirs without question or objection, for all the people who were stuck in impossible situations and fought their way out but still had casualities they couldn’t prevvent, and just about every other sin known to man.
Anyway, I hope I’ve explained that clearly. I wanted you to understand why myself, and many of the people who post here feel the way we do. For ME, personally, I wish Larry all the best for DL’s sake. I do believe he loves her with all his heart and his intentions for her are positive, but there are and will continue to be times when he does things that come off more self-aggrandizing than anything where I will freely call him on it. I’m sure part of it will be underlying resentment for his seemingly “winning it all” in getting to raise Dannielynn, winning the media race, and being able to have the public peace Howard will have to work hard to get back. I know Howard has his own rewards coming for the endless sacrifes, but until we can see some evidence of that completely and wholeheartedly supporting Larry will be a slowgoing process.
Sorry for the essay Art, I know you must be sick to death of them but I felt I should explain the sentiments of the comments from my perspective to you as best I could. That way when you read the posts you’ll have more of an understanding of why they sound the way they sound and the motivations behind some of them. If any one feels differently or wants to elaborate please feel free to do so.

To .58 Anti: You could probably say the same about TMZ?
August 26th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Mary Schoolcraft,
I agree with all you said. I was going to comment myself, but then I considered the source and figured it probably wouldn’t register. I’ve succumbed to her tirades before lol.
I agree with you that Howard is a real life prince and what a handsome one at that. This is truly a Prince and Cinderella story, but sadly, it didn’t end happily ever after. I grew up as most everyone else, believing in fairy tales only to find out that that’s all they were, tales, and I actually never dreamed there could be anything so close, in reality, until I started to “know” Howard K. Stern in the media. Not by what the media themselves said, but in watching and listening to Howard myself. So very many of us have been able to see Howard for the wonderful man he is and not what the media tried to portray him as. We could watch him and hear him and tell for ourselves that he was a kind, loving, honorable man.
Howard, you really are a Prince, as Mary said. Take care dear one.
Deprivation, Freida? You contradict yourself.
August 26th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Art~
I so agree with your comment to #54 as well. Your information is absolutely correct as far as the calendar. I’m glad you pointed it all out to those who are confused.
I had previously said what had first come to mind, in a previous post about Dannielynn’s party. After really thinking it through, I totally agree with you and Larry for that matter. When my son turned one, we had a huge party of about 100 friends & family. My son was still awake at midnight, dancing. (He too is a social butterfly and was walking at 10 mos old). I say, they only turn one once. For all this child has been through in the past year, I say DO IT UP!
Freida, make up your mind. Your posts are very confusing. Twice you bring up “Beauty and the Beast” and then say something about how great Howard is. I’m offended you would call Howard a beast. I would be honored to call him my MAN. He is no sissy.
Carol, I’m up Howard’s ass along with Art. We are there because he has the only clean one out of the clan. We can see just fine as we aren’t the ones wearing rose colored glasses.
Art, keep up the good work!
August 26th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
O’Quinn Texas hot shot lawyer should not have made Krista Barth mad. She is a blond tiger and O’Quinn is in big trouble. Hey Howard you know how to pick them. Howard he just don’t say much but carries a big stick. GO GET ALL THE HOWARD BASHERS ON FOX

To answer your question, the same people keep posting because they are happy to be in a cozy corner where they (we) hear developments we are eager to hear. The wheels keep turning and before you know it, another post materializes.
Mr. Harris: I, too, respect your comments re Dannielynn’s birthday bash.
Dolly Parton is a fantastic lady and I love her singing; when I think of 9 to 5, it is she that comes to mind and I still chuckle. However, unless she is connected to Dannielynn through Anna Nicole in some way, I do hope she is invited as a paid performer, as she will surely brighten everyone’s day. Otherwise, it is presumptuous on Larry’s part. Before we know it, Dannielynn will be on her own little red carpet with her father trailing behind, beaming “fait accompli” or belting: “I did it my way!”
August 27th, 2007 at 8:28 am

August 27th, 2007 at 5:10 pm
Shouldn’t Virgie be more worried about all of the slander she has doen to Howard AND Anna, her own daughter she supposedly loved so much on so many talk shows BEFORE and AFTER Anna’s death rather than Howard telling the truth about her? Actions proves louder than words and her actions during the whole funeral showed her true colors. When will Howard ever be able to grieve for teh woman he loved for so many years? I can’t blame Anna for disowning her so called family. Virgie should have flown to the Bahamas when Daniel passed away to comfort her daughter rather than go on talk shows slandering her daughter for money! What kind of Mother does that? God Bless you Howard. You have so many supporters that know the truth find strength in knowing that and keep going until they ALL pay for hurting Anna even more after she lost Daniel!
August 27th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Its stunning to me that anyone would consider Howard a “sissy”. I wouldnt have been able to handle HALF of what he has had to endure, and yet he still fights. Thats one strongass sissy.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:21 am
Howard’s lawyers are fighting for him – he isn’t!!!
August 28th, 2007 at 11:33 am
EJ,
LOL, you have no idea how many times since, I’ve wondered why I was so compassionate to her in my post. I felt those two posters were cruel and didn’t understand about her, but since then I have had many reasons myself to wonder why I came to her defense. And what has she done in return? She has been on my back constantly.
She is totally on her own now. I’ve tried, but have gotten my face slapped for my compassion toward her. Now maybe it’s time I started slapping face lol.

Just goes to show he knew HKS was working to get ANS contracts ect,so yes HKS was actually working at all times for ANS
August 28th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
Susan in NC:
I so agree with you, I used to respect NG and GVS but after what they did to Howard (and not a peep out of them now that the tide is turning) I seriously question every single thing they ever said and the legitimacy of every argument they ever made. I’d never watch them now. They are just in it for the rating$ and have no interest in fair reporting.
I would just cringe whenever they interviewed The Shelly’s or that fake “PI” guy and acted as though they were unbiased sources! Unbelievable.
Art, thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping us updated. It is always heartwarming to see team Stern making such excellent headway in exposing the real bad guys. Such patience, class, and savvy! Go team Stern! My prayers are always with you.
August 29th, 2007 at 2:10 am
Have you read the letters? I’m not a fan of either attorney as they both struck me wrong. The letter from the O’Quinn camp is far more professional in its content than the response from Barth. O’Quinn’s camp had every right to ask the other side to cease the attacks on their client and to warn that they may seek a legal remedy if the alleged defamation continued. Barth’s response is unprofessional as it is just seething with emotions rather than being a neutral response as one would EXPECT from an attorney of her stature.

As much as I respect his alliance with Howard and his decision to work for, not against him, it doesn’t erase months of his sarcastic and hurtful statements for me.”
I totally agree. I do not know Howard Stern, nor Larry Birkhead. But I do know human nature…What I saw happen to Howard Stern was frightening for him, for his defenders and spoke volumes to me about how frightened we should be as a nation if that type of vitriol can go unchecked; indeed, that it can be fanned by media for ratings.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
Art, Thanks for the answer finally of my comment #18. However, you have not proven anything to me concerning the drugs. Drugs are what killed Anna and Daniel. How do you know the baby Dannielynne was drug free? Have you seen a report right after her birth saying she was drug free? If HKS would have spent as much time and money on trying to get Anna the proper medical help instead of trying to sue everyone, she quite possibly could be alive today. That is what I mean by enabler. I am quite sure you won’t print this either.
Gidget:
I’m told those closest to Anna will eternally regret not overrruling her adamant refusal to go to the hospital when her fever shot up. Anna was stubborn, and she did what she wanted, including taking her meds as prescribed, or not. Same with Daniel…What would you say if you learned he’d been down, struggling emotionally after the break-up with a girlfriend, and had uncharacteristically started popping a little methadone to escape the pain, maybe even partying on his own?
As a mother, had she known, I’m betting Anna would have tried to put her foot down, and gotten him some help. As for help for Anna, there she is in Florida, sick and stressed..still mourning, but starting to turn the corner. She’s weaned herself off methadone for Dannielynn…so if she’s not doing meds like she’d done before, who’s going to be focused on the idea of an Intervention, albeit with a strong-willed reality star who always did it her way?\
It’s like the death of Princess Diana, it has no meaning for Dodi Fayed’s father if the accident was merely caused by a drunk driver? But if it was murder and a palace conspiracy, his son died for something bigger than just love…Think about it.

What have you been able to dig up on that quack-a-minute PI, Jack Harden, who’s fairy tales grew so big he gave pinnochio a run for his money? Who hired him? Was he really a licensed PI or some homeless drunk they found sleeping on the sidewalk of Hollywood Blvd?
Where is he now?
August 30th, 2007 at 1:17 am
Terri #79 Barth was only telling the truth unlike o’quinn and group so what is your point?As far as I’m concerened she made her point.He wasn’t an attorney so why should she have even anwsered him as one?Art thanks for awnsering some of these people and trying to get the truth out there although IMO some people even knowing they are wrong will not change
August 30th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Art,
Thanks for trying to set the record straight in your post to Gidget. Some just don’t get it. It’s just totally mind boggling to me how inhumane some people are.
They want so badly for Howard to be charged with something, anything. Wanting and wishing these things on an innocent person should be a crime in itself. All I can say is that Howard loved Anna and he wouldn’t hurt her or hers. IF she could speak right now, she’d tell the bashers where to go. She will rest eternally when and only when people get off his back. It’s looking up for him and it will happen to where the sun shines in.
Have a great day Art.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Art,
Once again thanks, but until I see the results of an inquest where people are sworn to tell the truth and there isn’t a bunch of attorneys and high end money men hanging around trying to do damage control all the time, I will continue to believe what I believe and have heard and seen and will not have my mind changed. However, I will do my best to refrain from commenting when I read such disgusting garbage concerning Anna’s mother, John O’Quinn and others who was trying to keep her family in the states where they belong. HKS is just as capable of manipulating people and using his knowledge as an attorney, an unethical one at that, in the Bahamas so he can run from the law. At least we agree on one thing, and that is Michael Vick.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Sorry, what I meant to say about keeping the family in the states is, Anna and Daniel should be either in California or Texas. Sure hope Larry keeps the baby out of the Bahamas, I do not believe that situation has been resolved yet either. Reading the JonesBahamas.com again, they are looking to increase the US tourism there, so it would certainly be in HKS best interest to stay there and I believe he can only do that if he is able to end of with Horizons and Dannielynne. Or am I daydreaming again. Again I say, “oh what a web we weave.”
September 1st, 2007 at 10:51 am
look i believe anna was trying to get off drugs for her daughter and howard’s sake. there were only nine drugs in her system. four of those were for the infection, such as cipro and the other drug is what they gave her in their attempts to revive her.(emt).the other three were for depression and anxiety which were found to be in therapic levels, so she wasn’t abusing the. the last one was the sleeping medication. she accidentally took to much and that is what caused her death. she did wean herself off the methodone because it wasn’t found in her system, just in her bile. so was trying to dry out with the help of her husband howard. if dannielynn had been born addicted to drugs at the time of her birth, it would have been front page news. no drugs were found in dannielynn system. she is a beautiful little girl. anna was starting to turn her life around with a new marriage, having another baby with howard and getting past her grieve. but she died from an accidental overdose. howard and larry have put their difference aside for the sake of dannielynn. i’m glad that larry is allowing howard to be a part of the baby life.
September 1st, 2007 at 5:46 pm
Dear Art,
Howard K. Stern, what an idiot, yeah right?
He knew exactly what he was doing from the beginning.
And you know, as well as he did, that it wouldn’t be easy.
He probably got a little lost in his journey, but not far off track, IMHO.
He’s had one heck of a job, however were his intentions as True Blue, and pure, as your’s were in the beginning, well?
Don’t think so, but then again, what do I know, right?
Anna/Vickie must have been the hardest ‘case’ to have to deal with.
But, what about that conscience?
Love Always,
Freida
September 1st, 2007 at 6:00 pm
Gidget,maybe you should read uup on o’quinn if you think he is so ethical and I don’t mean his tax break gifts to some organizations.but his keeping some clients money(breast implants)and practising without a license in another state ect Ambulance chasing( after a plane crash) IMO he should have lost his license long ago
September 1st, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Dear Howard K. Stern,
Virgie had a hard life and did the best with what she ‘thought’ she had.
Too, bad she didn’t know many ‘good’ men in her life to love and protect her, and help her take care of her children…
instead she felt she had to ‘you know what’ with them.
It’s so hard to feed a bunch of kids, without a man.
What a shame.

Wow Rhonda that was amazing and I have to say ditto. Though I am glad Larry and Howard are working together, I still remember all the negative things that Larry said about Howard. It is because of Larry and his close behind the scenes divulging of secrets to places like TMZ that Howard was painted as a bad person. I remember Larrys actions with Vergie during the trial in Florida and I was one of many who called the court house and said that Larry was trying to steal the cup Howard left on the stand. So yes, Larry got off scot free but that is because Howard is and will always remain a gentleman.
What worried me during the times Howard was being painted at Dannys murder then Anna’s is that people on the airwaves – Rita, Greta and TMZ calling Howard a murder. I was so tired writing and complaining to everyone that Howard loved Anna and Danny. Anna herself said Howard is her best friend.
Does Howard come out and fight? No because he does it the correct way the legal way.
The glimmer of hope that I got was when the three of them Larry, Howard and Vergie went to the microphone after they agreed to work together in Florida. Larry was kind to Howard and I do remember that it was then that I felt Larry realized he was wrong. Larry has to live with his own conscience not us, but I also know that Howard and Larry used to be friends.
In my heart I believe that Larry knows that Howard is a good friend and a good person.
