While FOX News is promoting Howard K. Stern’s live Tuesday night interview with Greta Van Susteren as “shocking” before the first word has been uttered, perhaps the biggest shock of all is that Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and longtime companion accepted an invite to go on a talk show he’s declined until now.

Many of his critics have grown uncharacteristically silent, or at least subdued, since the Bahamas inquest jury into the death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son, Daniel, last week ruled the 20 year old with a history of depression and drug issues, died of an accidental drug overdose that Stern, nor anyone else, had anything to do with.

A coroner’s jury in the Bahamas looking into the death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son, Daniel, declared Monday the 20 year old died of “non-dependent drug use,” in other words, an accidental overdose, ruling no further criminal investigation necessary.

The verdict certainly exonerates Anna Nicole’s long time companion Howard K. Stern of any wrong-doing. “There was never any evidence to suggest Howard did anything wrong,” said popular Bahamas talk show host Lincoln Bain in an exclusive telephone interview after sitting in on court Monday.

After months of wrangling, The Bald Truth has learned the court-appointed legal guardian who charged the estate of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter almost $200,000 to look after Dannileynn’s best interests has agreed to accept a drastic reduction of his bill.

“There’s going to be a significant cut in fees, as there should be,” a source inside the negotiations with Miami lawyer Richard Milstein told me in an exclusive interview. “I’d rather not say how much since we hope it will be finalized in court this week.”

Milstein and lawyers for Larry Birkhead, Dannielynn’s father, and estate executor Howard K. Stern, are scheduled for a “case managment” hearing before Broward County Circuit Judge Mark A. Speiser on Tuesday, April 1, according to documents dannielynn-milstein-casemanagmnt-401-08-c.pdf obtained exclusively by The Bald Truth. Read the rest of this entry »

Believe it or not, Anna Nicole Smith appeared happy, lucid and sober during the day the so called Clown Video was shot at her Horizons house in the Bahamas, according to a guest who attended a belated birthday party for the daughter of Ford and Gina Shelley. Riley had just turned nine, when a very pregnant ex- Playboy model pulled out the stops to show her a good time.

“Anna was fine,” says Tara Grinna, an acclaimed swimsuit designer in an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth. “Ford wouldn’t have left Riley there if she hadn’t been.”

Almost six months later, after Smith died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in Florida, Tara says she was shocked to see Ford on talk shows touting the Clown tape as proof Anna had to be gorked out on drugs.

“Absolutely not while we were there,” she tells me, “and we there at least a couple of hours. That was the first time I’d heard that.” Read the rest of this entry »
