Oh....Gross.

Here we go again. Another IVF baby for TomKat? My, Katie's fertile, isn't she! I suppose the gay midget wants a male heir to his craziness, not a female.

off of TMZ.com:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may be expecting a visit from the stork sometime soon.TMZ has learned that a TomKat confidante went to trendy West Hollywood baby boutique Petit Tresor last week, looking for four "scenarios" for a boy's nursery. The TomKat friend was overheard saying, "We want to be prepared for a baby boy."

We're told the interested themes for the room were: sports, nursery rhyme, cartoon and the color blue. The estimated cost for the eggshell blue-themed room alone is $45,000 -- and would include a custom-made blue and white antique crib, blue bedding and blue walls with floating clouds.

The shop was also given a deadline of April 15, three days before Suri's first birthday, to come up with the designs.

the Cruises are expecting a little brother for Suri in the near future, the question is: Will he be biological or come via a Third World shopping trip?

Did Pneumonia Kill Anna Nicole?

off of Tabloid Whore, though I've heard this from other sources as well:

Although toxicology results and cause of death have not been officially announced in death of Anna Nicole Smith, the National Enquirer is reporting that a horrible case of pneumonia did her in.

The Enquirer reports:"Preliminary findings reveal that tests performed during the autopsy show Anna Nicole had a severe case of pneumonia. Prescription drugs that she had taken made the condition worse and did play a role in her death. The full toxicology report has not yet been completed. Sources very close to the death investigation told The ENQUIRER that the prescription drugs masked the seriousness of her pneumonia. Anna Nicole had previously been hospitalized for pneumonia in the Bahamas after her son died. This time, the painkillers Anna Nicole was taking masked her symptoms and quickened the deadly effects of the pneumonia."

More details about this appear in the latest issue of The Enquirer.

Considering Anna Nicole had a 105 degree fever the day she died, this news is not surprising. That kind of fever is never normal. The saddest part of it is that I saw Anna's bodyguard Moe on a couple interviews and he said they wanted to take her to the hospital earlier because of the fever, but didn't when Anna begged them not to. Word is she didn't want to deal with the publicity. How ironic.

Britney Suicide Sadness

I really don't know what to believe but this would be waaaaaay more consistent with meth use than post-partum depression. Brooke Shields didn't do this stuff when she had it so bad.

off of faded youth:

All week we've heard positive Britney Spears news coming out of Promises Malibu. She's attending AA meetings. She's regularly seeing her kids. She dealing with her crystal meth addiction post-partum depression.

Now comes news from British tabloid, News of the World, that Britney attempted to hang herself.The paper reports that a "CRAZED Britney Spears tried to HANG herself with a bedsheet before pleading with her estranged husband to give her another baby."

In a week of rehab madness, the bonkers beauty wrote the number of the beast, 666, on her shaved head before running round the clinic screaming: "I am the Antichrist!" at frightened staff, the paper goes on to report.

"Later that night she tried to kill herself," a friend said. "She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt. When she tried to hang herself it was more a cry for help."

Britney has been running down a path of self-destruction for several weeks now and just when you think it couldn't get much worse, it does.

Another friend reportedly told News of the World: "Britney held up two bottles of Tylenol and shouted, 'I'm gonna do this, this is it! I'm through with the whole f***ing circus.'"

A female friend was there and managed to talk her out of it.

I know. I'm as shocked as you are -- who knew Britney had friends?

Saying Good-Bye

I'm going to miss my favorite trainwreck. This is from Splash News, who had exclusive coverage of the Anna Nicole funeral:

Anna Nicole was finally laid to rest this morning. Say what you want about Howard K. Stern and what his intent has been all along - what many of us (including me) have forgotten is that he did truly love Anna Nicole Smith.

Stern made a touching tribute to Anna Nicole at her funeral - and no matter what you think of the whole circus surrounding Anna’s death, the sad facts are Stern lost his best friend and little Dannielynn, her mother.

Also off of Holy Moly!

Gee, I wonder who could have introduced Britney to the stuff? *Looking at Pari$* Maybe that's how she lost weight so fast...Rumor is that there are pictures of Pari$ doing meth that weren't released on the ParisExposed site (now defunct). Word is that they were holding out on them, not for any pity, but that is something that could really destroy her! Too bad the pics weren't released...at least not yet.

Toxic

Crystal Meth is a horrible drug. It leads to jaw-clenching, agitation, irritability, panic attacks, depression and wanton sexual behaviour.

Britney Spears has been seen out in public in the last month with no knickers, a severely itchy scalp and a penchant for wielding golf clubs at photographers.

Not that there's any connection there.

Oh My!

Off of Holy Moly!

Let Them Eat Coke

Which Hollywood A-lister is not as clean cut as she has lead the world - and her A-list boyfriend - to believe?

For the full story click here. Yes, we're actually going to tell you who it is!

Oh, I do love the annual Oscars clusterfuck. The frocks! The tears! Actually, sod that, it's the talent making complete and utter tits of themselves that's far more entertaining. So my inbox pinged to attention like a mongrel with the horn when this little gem arrived direct from a mole over in Hollywood.

Picture the scene: it's the inevitable coke-by-the-bucketful post-Oscars party, when out of the powder room stumbles Kirsten Dunst with more dust flying around her head than a bug in a Dyson, her hair a tangled mess plastered across her drug sweat-oozing forehead. "What were you doing in there?" asks the party's host. The best Dunst, a gerbil with cocktail umbrellas for tits, can manage? "Erm..."

All of which gives credence to the real reason she and Jake Gyllenhaal split: it was because of her drug hoofing and not the other way round, as her publicist would like you to think. It also makes this holier-than-thou quote from Dunst even more ridiculous than it already is: "I've never come across cocaine on a film set... I'm very naive about that. I don't smoke and I've only tried pot once in my life. I do everything in moderation. I drink, but I don't go out and get plastered. I deal with my problems, so I don't have vices over which I have no control."

Also spotted at the same party were Paris Hilton, queuing for the bog and looking absolutely battered, and Rachel Stevens, looking bored and a bit like a fat Felicity Kendal; only made of suet and with raisins for eyes.

In other news....

Remember TomKat? Well, things aren't so good for Cruise & Katie! This off of crazy days and nights:

Tom Cruise Not First On The Speed Dial Anymore

This article from Slate is really long and really good and basically summarizes how Tom Cruise is not the first or second or even fifth choice for film projects anymore and how Katie severely damaged her career with her actions during promotional appearances for Batman Begins. The article briefly mentions Scientology, but it is not a focus of the article. Like I said, the article is long but it will give you something to read over the weekend. If you are really bored this afternoon you can watch the two segments from David Letterman that allegedly caused Katie's career spiral.

Round 2 for Anna Nicole Smith!

*DING DING* Howard K. better get ready to move, according to yesterday's testimony, his name and Anna Nicole's name are not on the mortgage for the house.

off of yahoo news:

NASSAU, Bahamas - With a feud over Anna Nicole Smith's resting place resolved by a Florida court, judges in the Bahamas were preparing to take up disputes over custody of the late model's 5-month-old daughter and ownership of her waterfront residence.

A private hearing to determine guardianship of the girl, Dannielynn, is expected to resume Monday with appearances by Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, and the former Playboy Playmate's boyfriend Howard K. Stern.

Arthur is seeking to take custody of Dannielynn from Stern, who is listed as her father on the birth certificate. Arthur's attorneys in the Bahamas said they would argue in court that she can provide a more stable home than Stern.

Arthur and Stern missed the opening hearing Thursday because they were in court in Florida, where Smith's body was ordered to the Bahamas for burial. A gag order prevented attorneys from the two sides from publicly discussing the proceedings.

The judge in the case has barred Stern from taking the infant out of the island nation until a custody ruling.

A separate hearing Monday, also at the Supreme Court, is to consider a claim from G. Ben Thompson, a South Carolina developer who once dated Smith, who says he owns the gated mansion where she was living, according to Thompson's Bahamian attorney, Godfrey Pinder.
Pinder said Stern would have to vacate the house immediately if his client wins the verdict.

"He's occupying the house illegally," he said.

Thompson says he lent Smith money for the house, known as "Horizons," but she did not honor an agreement to pay the debt. Smith's camp has said the house was a gift.

A nanny has been caring for Dannielynn at the mansion during Stern's time in Florida. The hearing in Fort Lauderdale ended Thursday with a decision to bury Smith at a Nassau cemetery beside her son, Daniel, who died last year while visiting her days after she gave birth to Dannielynn. Arthur wanted to bury Smith in her native Texas.

A dispute over who is the girl's father also has yet to be resolved. Smith's ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, says he fathered the girl. A California judge is handling the paternity case.

In an apparent bid to cover two possible jurisdictions, Birkhead also brought his case to the Bahamas on Thursday. His local attorney, Emerick Knowles, filed a motion in the Supreme Court claiming paternity, even though Birkhead has not sought custody of the baby.

Smith, who moved to the Bahamas during her pregnancy last year, died Feb. 8 at a Florida hotel. The cause of death is under investigation.

An inquest in the Bahamas into the death Daniel Smith, 20, is scheduled to begin March 26 in Nassau.

A private pathologist concluded he died from a combination of methadone and antidepressants.

Kimmie speaks!

No, the website is not hers. No, Howard K. is not evil. Here's the article from ETonline:

In the tragic ANNA NICOLE SMITH saga, one significant player in her personal life has been missing from the spotlight -- until now. Now, KIM WALTHER speaks out and sets the record straight with ET's JANN CARL about life with Anna, her desire for more children, the will, the fake Web site and more

"I hope I'm given [the opportunity to tell baby DANNIELYNN about her mother one day]," says Kim, wiping back tears. "I just want her to know that her mom really was an amazing person, and loved her, and I would like to tell her the good things, you know?"

Best known as "Kimmie" on reality TV's "The Anna Nicole Show," Kim was the late TRIMSPA spokesperson's personal assistant and admirer, whose purple hair and shoulder tattoo of Anna Nicole made her a memorable character.

Kim -- who says she spoke with Anna Nicole just two weeks before she died -- met the former Playboy model about seven years ago at a desert resort, where she was working the front desk. She explains that once she got Anna Nicole's computer working, "We kinda just hit it off and became friends ... she was like a mom to me at times, and a sister and a best friend."

Kim says Anna constantly talked about having more kids: "She wanted five more kids," she says, "and she had whole chests full of girl clothes that she had been saving over the years." But once Anna got pregnant, Kim claims that Anna revealed she wasn't sure who fathered the child.

"She told me she didn't know who the father was," she explains. "She told me, let's see -- I guess around Christmastime or shortly after New Year's -- that HOWARD [K. STERN] was the baby's father."

Kim was with Anna as a witness when the star signed her last will and testament: "I haven't recently read the will, so I can't really say what's in there," she offers. "I do know that at the time she signed it, she was sound, mind and body, and that's what she had intended."

As for Howard's relationship with Anna and her late son, DANIEL, Kim says, "I would never think that he would do anything to harm either Daniel or Anna. Anna was his entire world. I can't even imagine what he's going through. I know what I'm going through is hard, but Howard, he's been with her for these last couple of years that I haven't been there, and I really wish people would leave him alone."

Kim wants to go on record saying that there's a Web site on the Internet that's purported to be hers, but in fact it's not -- it's the work of an impersonator. The site expresses negative views about Howard, and Kim wants to make it clear that she is not involved with it in any way."I called to let [Howard] know about this website that somebody has put up using my name and claiming to be me," she says. "[The site is] basically slandering Howard and accusing him of things like being responsible for the death of Anna Nicole and Daniel. I told him that it's not from me and that I had nothing to do with it and those aren't my feelings or sentiments at all."

Update from CNN

JeeezuzGoddamMothrfukinTapDancin ChristOnA Stick.

Even though Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern have been able to put aside their defferences and accept the judge's ruling on Anna Nicole being buried in the Bahamas, her mother just can't do it.

Vergie Arthur has filed an appeal to have ANS buried in Texas. Honestly, it just won't end. Does it really matter where she's buried? can't she just let it go? Bitch, please. Stuff like this makes me like her less and less.

I am certain that the appeal will be shot down and ANS will be buried next to Daniel, in the Bahamas. Mom should look at that as a opportunity to take a vacation while visting the two of them. See? the silver lining.

Can we please settle the paternity now so this can all be put behind us? Pleeeaaaase?

Ruling on Body Custody of Anna Nicole!

From MSNBC:

Dannielynn has been ruled as next of kin. Dannielynn's guardian, lawyer Richard Milstein, is awarded Anna Nicole's remains. Anna Nicole Smith is expected to be buried next to her son, Daniel, in the Bahamas, but decision belongs to Millstein. Milstein is to consult Vergie Arthur, Howard K. and Larry Birkhead, but Richard Milstein has final say.

I need a drink.

Now off to the paternity testing cuz you know the court will force it!!!

I would die of laughter if neither Larry nor Howard K. turns out to be the father!

ANS Update

ruling on who gets ANS's remains coming very soon, in the next few minutes!

Entertainment Lawyer's take

and i think he's pretty much right on the whole ANS's body custody trial:

Yes, you to can go to law school and become someone's bitch. When things are not going right with your Sugarmomma, then feel free to ask your parents for money and while you are at it, go ahead and take your old room back. You are sneaky and managed to get yourself a huge fee agreement which you do not want to slip away. Therefore you pretend to like ANS and are there when she makes you watch her get it on with other men. People laugh at you and call you names. Whoops, better stop there I was going to sing the Rudolph song there for a second. This guy basically sold his soul to whatever God told him he just needed to stick it out and get the 6% contingency fee if and when ANS collected. He probably thought he could handle it for a year or two, but there he was, still sucking up to her ten years later. When you look at the picture of him, understand that he did not pay for any of what he is wearing.

Oh, and Larry and Anna's mama are no good also. I just do not want to spend the whole day talking about this. Everyone who knew ANS used her to get stuff or money or both.

Britney update

according to MSNBC:

The emergency custody hearing that was supposed to take place this morning, called by Kevin Federline, was cancelled and Britney is reported to have re-entered rehab. Now if the Paps would leave her alone, she could get through rehab and get herself together.

2nd Day of Larry Birkhead

They're not so nice to him today! Larry knew that Anna Nicole was a user, that she used drugs and got her pregnant anyway.

Update: Larry Birkhead is not holding any of the $$$ he made off of photos for Dannielynn.

???

I dunno anymore....it's hard to tell what's bullshit and what isn't...maybe the truth lies somewhere in between.

from TMZ:

TMZ has learned that Kevin Federline has asked a judge for an emergency hearing on Thursday to discuss his custody dispute with estranged wife Britney Spears.

court spokesperson says only K-Fed and his attorney are scheduled to appear before the judge, but adds "anything is possible."

Federline filed papers in November seeking spousal support and sole custody of the couple's children- 5-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston. As TMZ previously reported, a temporary court order granted the couple joint custody, with Spears having primary physical custody of the boys.Now, with Spears' recent erratic behavior, coupled with the fact that she's been in and out of rehab twice in the last week, all bets may be off

***

and from the National enquirer:

Terrified she'd lose custody of her sons, an out-of-control Britney Spears tried to kill herself TWICE in the hours after shaving her head, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively from sources. Hours after creating a media frenzy by shaving her head, sources say the troubled star tried to take her own life by walking into traffic, only to be rescued at the last second by her staff. But that wasn't the end of Britney's self-destructive impulses.

A short time later she was rushed to a doctor after saying she was going to kill herself and then taking too many Xanax, say the sources. Britney's emotional collapse was triggered by a "reconciliation" with estranged husband Kevin Federline — that was actually meant to be an intervention, sources tell The ENQUIRER.

And when Kevin warned her that she'd fail a drug test and he'd get custody of their sons, a hysterical Britney went over the edge and ended up shaving herself bald while a crowd of spectators and photographers watched outside Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, California. "After she shaved off her hair, Britney had a complete breakdown and tried to kill herself," an insider told The ENQUIRER.

Larry Birkhead takes the stand!

When asked about any money from media, press or public relations that he made from the death of Daniel and Anna Nicole, Larry answered yes, as the nature of his work as a photographer. He received royalties since 1998, he made no direct money of his archived photos. He made $$ from interviews. He said he made no $$ regarding Daniel's death in interviews after he died (September 2006). Larry guesstimated that he made six figures roughly a year from his work. He contends that he met ANS in 2003 at a Kentucky Derby.

Larry was paid $$$ for his ANS pictures in conjunction with interviews.

He was asked to be a private photographer for her and that their relationship went from professional to personal. In 2004, Larry was dodgy about how much ANS paid him to photograph her. But he did state that he did make the majority of his income off of her. They became personal in July 2004. Larry said that his impression of Howard K.'s relationship to ANS was her friend, publiciest, manager, attorney and did errands for her. He said that Howard K. did not have an intimate relationship with her because Larry had moved in with her til August 2005. Larry said that Howard K. interfered with his relationship with ANS, that Howard K. would cancel events that Larry and ANS were supposed to go to together. Larry lived with her from July 2004 to August 2005. Howard K. frequently stayed at ANS's house while Larry was there, sleeping on a couch, even though he had an apartment. Larry wanted more alone time. Other people stayed at her house as well, but they were not named. Larry moved his things out but remained with ANS. He said he was with her most nights and only knew of one indiscretion. January 2005, ANS was pregnant and miscarried in Feb. 2005, which Larry claims to have been his.

April, 2005, Larry got his own place where he still is and paid for his own rent.

(I guess they split up in aug. 2005)

HE talked about the video that ANS saw of howard marshall stating that she wasn't to have any more $$, only what had already been given to her and she was horribly upset.

November 2005 thru New Year's eve, ANS was with another guy....which she left and came back and she and Larry talked about getting back together, he thought it was an exclusive relationship.

Larry said her mental state wasn't the best then, maybe depressed. When she came back from S. Carolina, they tried to reconcile. He didn't like the messages she texted to him. Dec. 31 2005 until feb. 2006 was when he stayed with her in her home. Then she went to the supreme cuort for her case. she told him around valentine's day of 2006 she told Larry that she was pregnant again. Larry asked him if it was his and ANS smacked him, saying that she wasn't a whore. She didn't know how long she had been pregnant. Larry also claimed that Dannielynn was his, (his only child, the same as Howard K.). He also said that they shopped for baby clothes together and ANS had asked him to pick out a ring for her. He stated that she wanted to take care of him.

Larry wanted to keep working and maintain financial independence. Larry stated that Howard K. was around a lot, saying that he was working on ANS's supreme court case. Larry had met ANS's mother in court for the first time. When asked about ANS's speaking of her mother, he said that ANS didn't get along with her mother but when she was pregnant, she called out for her mother and texted that she wanted her mother. The video shown of ANS saying how much she ahted her mother, Larry was asked what he thought of ANS's state in the video, that that became her normal state, Larry thought she was angry and slurring her words.

Larry said that he and ANS had talked about marriage, she had sent him out to get things for the baby...she didn't want to be a single mother again. Marriage was talked about but he didn't want to marry just because she was pregnant, he wanted it to be for the right reasons. ANS called him in April 2006 to come to the hospital because she had been having pains. ANS was in the hospital for two weeks and Howard K. slept on a cot in the hospital room. ANS was taking medications before and during pregnancy. Larry said ANS and Howard K. had packed duffle bags of her meds to take when the hospital staff didn't give her enough. She was on suicide watch. She had written Larry's name as the father and his thumprint and wrote her name and thumbprint as mother.

Larry said he knew Howard K.'s feeling s for her as romantic and he felt badly for him, wiriting Howard's name as "Uncle Howard."

ANS did not speak to her mother while she was in the hospital. He tried to get ANS to follow the prescripons as written but ANS would take whatever she felt like and Larry was concerned about the baby. ANS would send him to the store to get her something she craved but she seemed to take something while he was gone and would be in a "seizure like state". This was May of 2006. He had his own place but stayed with ANS. Sometimes Howard K. was there.

May 2006 is when they split up after an argument out in public and Howard K. was called by Larry, Howard K. picked her up and Larry didn't really see her after that, maybe once or twice with Howard K. mediating. It was shortly after that that ANS told Larry that Howard K. was the father of the baby. Larry told Howard K. that the guy she was with during their two months apart could be the father.

When asked about Dniel, Larry siad that ANS loved her son, he slept two floors down. Larry said that when ANS was in a bad state that he should close the door and Daniel shouldt see her like that.

Larry did not go to the Bahamas when Daniel died, he tried to talk to her and offer condolenses. He went there before her death as part of a court order for paternity.

He was with her from August 2004 to May 2006, talked with him about death and was obssessed with Marilyn Monroe. When she was under the influence of drugs, he heard her say that she wanted to die, but he thought it was just drugs. She told him that she wanted to be bured next to Marilyn Monroe when she died. He had disagreed about Daniel being buried in the Bahamas and ANS said it was to avoid the paternity test. If Larry would drop the case, so would she.

S. Carolina guy is not the father because he had a vasectomy. The judge said that the field of fathers was between Larry, Howard K. and the S.C. guy but Larry ruled out S.C. guy. The judge pointed out that if Larry turned out to be the father, where did Larry think ANS should be buried, not out of his opnion, but as Dannielynn's father, where should ANS go? Larry said he would prefer her to be in California but since Daniel was in the Bahamas...should it be shown that he is the father, which he claims is his, he wouldn't want mother and child separated and exhuming Danile to move him is a big job. Larry said he struggled with the question.

The judge praised him as a witness, that Larry "put a lot of meat on the bone."

Howard K.'s testimony continues

Anna Nicole had different doctors at different times and as a result, at different time, different medications, mainly to treat depression, according to Howard K. The judge declared that he needed more information about Anna Nicole's capacity and mental condition, including any drug use, in relevance to the case concerning who should lay claim to her body.

When asked about her mental state, Howard K. stated that sometimes she was clear, sometimes not....when pressed about the times when she was not clear, if drugs were a contributor, Howard K. said that he thought stress had more to do with it than drugs, that sometimes the drugs affected her, sometimes not. She had been seeing a psycologist before she knew Howard K. until about 2000.

He went on to say that he knew about the Methadone, that it was a prescription medication but Anna Nicole didn't do it in front of him. Howard K. also stated that he knew of no life insurance policies taken out on Anna Nicole.

The Texas lawyer kept trying to pin Howard K. as being responsible for Anna Nicole's death. The second executor named in ANS's will was a friend of Howard K.'s. Howard K. denied calling to have a copy of ANS's will faxed to him before she died. Howard K. also stated that he and his friend were not looking for the will 5 days before her death, as suggested by the Texas attorney.

When asked about a check written for the Bahamian plots, Howard K. was asked why someone so young would be concerned with being buried (stupid, anytime you have kids or get married should be considered), Howard K. replied that after Daniel's death, Anna Nicole began to think about her own mortality.

Regarding contracts with media regarding Daniel's death, Howard K. stated that he had none and had not benefitted, anna Nicole had a contract with Getty images and had profited. He also stated, when asked, if he had any contracts regarding ANS's death and he replied no.

The Texas Attorney asked if Howard K. had picked up prescriptions or called them in for ANS, which was objected to and withdrawn.

Howard K. stated that ANS had two computers which were stolen and that he knew the passwords. For her corporation, he was an agent of process but not an officer. He would, under her direction, sign her name to corporation checks. Vicky Smith, Vicky Hogan, Anna Nicole, Michelle Chase, Suzie Wong, Anna Nicole Smith, Norma Jean, Mrs. Flinstone, Vicky Lynn Hogan, were all names that she used at one time or another, some names used for prescriptions that Howard K. picked up for her from time to time. With her permission, Howard K. used her credit card.

An attorney asked if Howard K. was the biological father of Dand objections were thrown around the courtroom and the question was dismissed. The judge chastized her for being inflamatory and to stop pressing the issue. The attorney shot back asking if the issue of Dannielynn being next of kin was no longer relevant to the case and the judge told her to sit down.

Feb. 12th is the date stated when the will was actually faxed and received.

Attorneys are supposed to appear tomorrow in Florida and the Bahamas, the judge saying that he would have the Bahamian court on speakerphone in his courtroom. Concern was if Howard K. would be in the Florida courtroom the next day and was dismissed from the witness seat. Howard K. was ordered to appear in the Florida courtroom.

Howard K. Stern on the Stand!

In questioning as to if Howard K. had made any $$$ off of Daniel Smith or ANS's death, the answer is no. The only thing he has received was a ride from Entertainment Tonight on their charter from Florida to the Bahamas after Anna Nicole died. He gave them permission to use the interview and videos but no $$$ passed. Regarding any funeral arrangements, if they were to be televised, all $$$ was to go into a trust for Dannielynn. He is under no contracts with any media source. Howard K.'s lawyers are also not being paid for by any media source.

Howard K. considered himself married to Anna Nicole at the time of her death and does state himself as the father of Dannielynn. He stated that during the filming of "Anna Nicole show" he was paid by E! network about $25000 for two years, besides that he was supported by Anna Nicole. His parents had givine him substantial funds for the lawsuit and for his lawyers. Howard K. declined to mention specific monetary amounts. Howard K. earned no income in 2006.

On the stand, Howard K. does his best to be cooperative under cross-examination, although he was chastized by the judge a couple of times for "editorializing" his testimony.

When asked about any fees he was to receive for being named caretaker for Daniel, as executor of the will and any fees he might receive if he turns out to be the baby's father, Howard K. stated that he would waive them. When asked about pending litigation involving the case against the Marshall estate, Howard K. said that the potential amount was $100 million but he would only be entitled to 5% as Anna Nicole's attorney.

Under cross-examination, Howard K. was asked how he would earn a living with Anna Nicole gone and he answered that he planned to return to school and would probably receive help from his parents. He maintained that Anna Nicole had her own bank account and that he never assumed control of her money, that he only signed checks for her under her direction and everything bore only her name.

Howard K. refused to answer the Texas lawyer's questions about Anna Nicole's drug use. Howard K. simply stated that he was not a doctor and that Anna Nicole always had the care of doctors. The judge stated that Anna Nicole's capacity was indeed an issue with the case.

More updates as they come...a decision is to be rendered Friday.

Splash News Online in trouble?

At this time in the ANS's body custody court drama, David Lee of Splash News is being implicated by Vergie Arthur of possibly manipulating his relationship with Anna Nicole's mother. Vergie Arthur, on the stand and under oath, stated that David Lee had, in fact, paid for her, her sister-in-law and other's trip to the Bahama to find Daniel Smith's grave. The sister-in-law taped it and alledgedly sold it to Splash. She also stated that she had no knowledge of the Splash helicopters hangin above during the recess where she and Howard K. went to the ME's office to see the remains of Anna Nicole. It is the implication that David Lee is leaking the information to Splash, about as it happens, which may not sit well with the court.

Vergie arthur insists that David Lee is a family friend of 2 years and wouldn't do such a thing. Please note that Mr. Lee lives in Florida. Vergie states that his help with transport was a convenience since she had no other there. I don't buy that, personally.

At this moment, the Splash newssite is down.

A Very Happy Note!

from Gawker.com:

Universal Sues P*r*z H*lt*n Over Aniston Pix
Oh, Jennifer Aniston's redacted nipples! We've never before been so happy to see them, as they herald a sparkly-new lawsuit. The Smoking Gun reports that Universal City Studios has filed a copyright infringement suit against Mario Lavandeira, claiming that the topless footage was stolen during production of The Break Up. Unfortunately, they're not seeking monetary damages, but they do request a court order "directing the U.S. Marshall to seize" the copyrighted material from Lavandeira. Hot!

Anna Nicole Hated her Mother

This is off of the New York Daily News...I think it explains a lot. Again, I'm not taking Howard Stern's side here, I think a lot of the kookiness of Anna Nicole can be drawn from these things:

Two weeks after her death, Anna Nicole Smith's voice filled a stunned courtroom yesterday as the former centerfold ranted against her despised mother, whom she sneeringly called "mommy dearest."

The shocking tape was introduced in an unruly Florida courtroom battle where Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, is vying for the right to bury her daughter.

Lawyers for Smith's companion Howard K. Stern played the tape in an effort to prevent Arthur from getting Smith's body.

Her voice dripping with venom, Smith declared her disdain for the woman she called "mommy dearest."

"You want to hear all the things she did to me? You want to hear all the things she let my father do to me, or my brother do to me? Or my sister?" Smith said, glaring at the camera. "All the beatings and the whippin's and the rape? That's my mother. That's my mom!" she snarled.

Stern teared up, prompting a sympathetic court officer to bring tissues.

Arthur, who wore a purple suit and clutched a red flower, raised her brows as if to dismiss the accusations, but she didn't speak or cry when her dead daughter briefly came to life on screen.

The stunning tape was one of a series of revelations in the raucous courtroom.

The legal struggle over who gets to bury Smith has become so prolonged that the coroner interrupted the court hearing to warn that the corpse is beginning to deteriorate and the proceeding should be speeded up.

Lindsay Lohan hanging out with Steve-O?

How serious was she about rehab? Are we sure she wasn't doing it for publicity/to save her career because no one would insure her for movies any more?

off of TMZ:

Lindsay Lohan was spotted leaving The Roosevelt Hotel with Steve-O -- a curious companion for someone straight out of rehab. The "Jackass" star was seen in the backseat of Lohan's Mercedes as the fiery starlet drove off after a night at Teddy's nightclub.

You Know...

If she's really trying to come to grips with things and heal herself, Britney should really be left alone. Lindsay Lohan wasn't messed with that much, only when she left the facility, so I really don't understand why Britney has to be hounded.

Britney Leaves Promises--Entering More Secure Rehab Facility Elsewhere
As a consequence of the media feeding frenzy at Promises, Britney Spears is moving to a rehab facility which is more secure. With the pap swarming, the staff, other patients and Britney felt it would be best for her to check out of Promises and enter a more secure rehab facility where she can begin the process of healing and not have to worry about hiding from the cameras 24 hours a day. I will keep you updated.

Update from thisislondon.co.uk:

A source for the 25-year-old singer claimed she shaved her head because of lice: "She thought lice were eating her hair extensions, so decided to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Anna Nicole Smith's body custody trial

I'm watching this on MSNBC....Anna Nicole's mother is on the stand right now, denying that she was ever paid by any news agency for anything. She keeps pointing to Howard K., saying that he's made all the $$, he is the one who has profitted from Anna's death.

Personally, and this is only my take from watching this, I think Anna Nicole's mother is a control freak. I think that's why Vickie Lynn wanted to get the hell away. I don't find the woman to be terribly clever....she doesn't know how to work the system. But she sure is a drama queen and now we know where Anna Nicole got it from. Most of the time, the woman doesn't understand the questions that are being asked and the other half she cries....Maybe for dramatic pause.

I'm am not saying tha I support Howard K....but I don't find much like for Anna Nicole's mother. It seems to be the mother's wishes to bury Anna Nicole in Texas, not really Anna Nicole's. The mother also wants to exhume Daniel and bury him in Texas. Again, I think these are the mother's personal wishes, not Anna Nicole's.

Interestingly, Anna Nicole's mother stated on the stand that she had never met Larry Birkhead until after Anna Nicole died.

Think about this: If Anna Nicole buried her son in the Bahamas, bought four plots in the Bahamas....wouldn't that tend to tell you that she wanted to be buried in the Bahamas?

Hugh Grant's breakup

off of splashnews:

According to The Daily Mail close family members have revealed that Hugh Grant has bought his ex Liz Hurley a rather strange wedding gift. A Chimpanzee from London Zoo! The Chimp (not pictured) has been named after Liz in exchange for Hugh paying for the upkeep.

Apparently this stems from an old joke of Liz always saying he looked just like one!

The Daily Mail also reports that insiders say this present coupled with an expensive necklace was the final straw for Jemima Khan. Who has never been comfortable with how close Liz and Grants relationship has continued to be.

There it is...

Hopefully she'll get the help she needs...and will be able to put herself together out of the public eye.

off of Yahoo news:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Britney Spears has entered a rehabilitation center, her spokesman said on Tuesday, capping a long weekend in which the pop star made international news by shaving her head at a Los Angeles hair salon.

"Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today," Spears publicist Larry Rudolph said in a written statement. "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those (privacy concerns) of her family and friends at this time."

Rudolph did not say what Spears, 25, would be treated for or where the rehabilitation facility was located. Celebrity Web site TMZ.com reported the center was in the Los Angeles area and that she entered it at the urging of family members.

and off of Crazy days and Nights, it is official that she's in rehab this time, not like the supposed 24 hours:

According to my sources Britney Spears entered rehab today. I think it is Wonderland, but I also heard a mumble that sounded like Promises so I will try and confirm it for you. I am happy that she is getting the help she needs, and I really do not have anything else at this time. It is my understanding that her family did a semi-intervention and that her mother will be watching the children while Britney is in rehab.

My source did say that Britney entered rehab to deal with her addictions and needs some very serious grief counseling because of two specific incidents which have occurred recently.

This made me hurl!!!

off of crazy days and Nights:

I was fortunate enough to not run directly into Ms. Hilton over the weekend and for that I am grateful. The people that control the water in Vegas are also happy because I would still be showering. The threat of disease, frequent use, and being bisexual apparently did not stop Brandon Davis and Stavros Niarchos from making a Paris sandwich for her birthday. Frequent visitors to her kingdom may have banned them from playing with other visitors if you know what I mean.

and off of Janet Charlton's Hollywood:

Paris Hilton celebrated her birthday in Las Vegas this weekend at Nobu with a group of friends. The table included her sister Nicky with her boyfriend David Katzenberg, Nicole Richie with Joel Madden, and Paris with TWO dates: Brandon Davis and Stavros Niarchos. Other diners had their appetites challenged when Paris hopped from Brandon to Stavros, alternately making out sloppily with one after the other - between bites of sushi! Ewwww. We hear the threesome also shared a room at The Palms. What' s up with THAT?

BTW, ParisExposed.com is gone, thanks to a court injunction. It was fun while it lasted!

Stranger & Weirder

off of the Daily Mail and Entertainment Lawyer does say below that Britney was not in a rehab center for 24 hours...what weirdness is going on?:

The strange world of Britney Spears has got even stranger. Soon after shaving off all her hair, shedonned a bizarre blonde, Marilyn Monroe-style wig and large black sunglasses to visit yet another club.

Showing no sign of craving privacy, the 25-year-old singer arrived at the Roxy nightclub on Hollywood's Sunset Strip for a karaoke-themed birthday party.

But, in keeping with her increasingly erratic behaviour, Britney stormed out after 45 minutes and headed for the Polo Lounge.

She had taken offence when the DJ played her debut hit Hit Me Baby One More Time in her honour.

One clubber said: "It was a shock to see her in a wig after what she had done to herself.
"While she was in the club she kept going to bathroom all the time, which was weird."

The salon's owner, Esther Tognozzi, told of her shock - and placed the hair on eBay, where bids have already topped $1 million.

"I would say please take your daughter and get her off the media circus," Ms Tognozzi said.
"Take her home for a while and take care of her and her babies."

Meanwhile reports in the U.S. suggest Spears' shocking decision to shave off all her hair might have been an act of rebellion against her mother.

As celebrity watchers struggled to make sense of the singer's dramatic move, it was also revealed that she had been deeply upset by the recent death of a much-loved aunt from cancer.

Spears, already distressed by her split from husband Kevin Federline and the custody battle over their two sons, was said to have been very close to Sandra Bridges Covington, who died late last month.

She and her mother had been feuding over Lynne Spears' demand that her daughter end her wild behaviour, a source told the New York Post.

The pair had been arguing since Spears returned from a stay at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre rehab in Antigua last week that lasted just 24 hours, the report claimed, and the late-night buzz-cut was a rebellious gesture.

Her cousin, Ernest Spears, said that Lynne had flown to LA last week to be with her daughter and her young children, 18-month-old Sean Preston and five-month-old Jayden James.

In her home town of Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears' aunt Wanda Bridges told the New York Daily News the singer had been greatly saddened by the death of her mother's sister.

"Last time I saw her was the funeral," she said. "She seemed fine, but we were all very upset."
Another report suggested Spears may have opted for the drastic cut after hairdressers discovered her hair was so badly damaged by repeated dye-jobs that bald patches were already appearing.

The singer had visited celebrity hairdresser Michael Boychuck's salon at the Palms hotel less than three weeks ago seeking help for her locks.

"Her hair was so badly damaged from repeated bleachings that it had broken off and thinned to the point where bald spots had begun to appear," a source said.

In Other News....

Are Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley going to get back together? Honestly, this isn't a shock, I think a lot of people saw this coming.

off of MSNBC.com:

LOS ANGELES - Actor Hugh Grant and his British society girlfriend Jemima Khan have ended their relationship, Grant’s publicist said Friday.

“Hugh and Jemima have decided to split amicably,” publicist Robert Garlock said, confirming the first report by People Magazine.

Romantic comedy star Grant, 46, best known for “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” had been dating Khan, 33, for about three years but had recently dodged questions about whether marriage was on the cards.

Revealed Blind Items!

Off of Crazy Days & Nights:

In order to support his drug habit, this cat like rock star used to be a gay prostitute. Wonder if he thinks his current girlfriend is as pretty as the boys he used to love. Pete Doherty

This actor has always been known for his HUGE ego. Well now it turns out he has something down below that is just as huge. Talked about in London, but really was just talk, even a legend. It was all supposition really, until he was filming his latest movie. Thinking our star was out and about, an assistant walked into the actor’s trailer without knocking and saw our actor changing clothes and what he saw has been repeated over and over and would put even Mr. Diggler to shame. Ricky Gervais

2 What happens when you are at a nightclub and think you are the shit, but no one is paying any attention to you? What happens when you think you can get away with anything and not suffer any consequences? Well this Seinfeld reference decided to take matters into her own hands. An A-list model was dancing on a four foot high stage and drawing the attention of the entire nightclub not only with her beauty but in the way she was dancing. This did not sit well with our spoiled princess and so she pushed the model off the stage and down to the floor. It was only because she happened to land on someone that she avoided a possible career ending injury. Those who saw what happened began to boo at the princess, but she was so into herself that she did not even care. She did not really dance, she just kind of did red carpet pose after red carpet pose. She was loving herself even more than normal. The only problem in her little plan was that the model and the owner of the club are really close so the next thing you know, the princess was yanked from the stage and shown the door. The crowd went crazy and all waved buh bye. Paris Hilton and the attacked was Serinda Swan

So this is barely a blind item, but we will count it as such. Last night at a movie premiere, it was discovered that a recent romance with a very unlikely couple should actually be categorized as a "romance." Seems our actress was looking for some publicity for her new film while her new "boyfriend" agreed to help because he had started to fade from the limelight as well. Our actress made one other recent attempt to garner some headlines, but no one was buying what she was offering. Whatever kisses you saw on camera were the only kisses these two shared. Although good friends, they are only good friends and more like brother and sister than boyfriend and girlfriend. Mandy Moore and Adam Goldstein

From Britney's manager

I got this off of gossip rocks forum. To me, in my opinion, it points to Britney maybe being raped in Miami....maybe. I hope that's not true, that's a horrible thing to go through.

***

"Britney has been through a tragic thing that hopefully will never happen again, shaving her hair was a sort of therapeutic thing for her."

Larry also goes on to speak about Britney seeking help "Britney knows that she needs help and is already going through counselling, she knows what needs to be done and is slowly re-building herself step by step."

update off of Crazy Days & Nights:

Britney In Rehab Reports Are False
Britney Spears did not check into a rehab program and then check out 24 hours later as TMZ is reporting, nor did she enter a rehab program as Extra is reporting. I am not saying she will not enter rehab or looked into rehabilitation programs. I am saying that the current media reports are untrue as reported to me.

And on another topic....

I don't know how Lindsay is suddenly "all better"....I have my doubts about her rehab.....Have to wait and see. I don't believe that 30 days out of the public's eye makes one rehabilitated.

off of gossip rocks forum:

Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab. The actress left Wonderland rehab in Los Angeles earlier today after completing a 30 day stay, the actress' publicist Leslie Sloane-Zelnick told."

She will continue as an outpatient," Sloane-Zelnick told Access' Michael Lewittes. "She will take it day by day." "She's in it for the long haul, and she asks that her privacy be respected," the publicist added.

Lohan checked herself into rehab in early January days after reports surfaced she passed out at a post-Golden Globes soiree.003lindsaynews13

SRSLY....

I feel very badly snarking at Brit right now....She seems to be going thru some very tough times right now and just isn't right in her head. I can't pick at her, I cannot in good conscience, knowing that she is out of her mind, fling poo at her. I feel very badly for her. It seems X17 has a lot of the latest footage, if you want to check them out.

Britney....please please please...there are people who can help and who will not hurt you. There are people you can trust. PLEASE seek them out. A break from the spotlight for awhile would be a good thing. Please seek help. Do it for yourself so you can better care for not only yourself, but your family. But for the love of goodness, DON'T get sucked into the fucking church of $cientology. All they will want from you is your $$$, just like Kaballah.

It is not weakness to ask for help....It takes a lot of strength to admit to yourself that you are at your limit and can go no more. Please seek help with your pain, your turmoil, what you are going through. You are not alone.....Love yourself by caring for yourself.

off of ONTD:

It's been all over the gossip blogs, so I'm just updating what I reported last night.

I spoke with my relative who works at CSMS. Apparently Britney was checked in late last night by an older male and was diagnosed with something called "Amphetamine psychosis".

I'm not exactly sure what that is, but basically, it's psychosis brought on by use of amphetamines. I don't know what pills or drugs you would take to have that happen, but there's all those rumors she does a lot of ecstasy and prescription medication.

From wikipedia: Amphetamine psychosis is a form of psychosis which can result from amphetamine or methamphetamine use. Amphetamine psychosis can include delusions, hallucinations and thought disorder. Hallucinations are frequently reported in chronic amphetamine users, with over 80% of users reporting the presence of hallucinatory experiences, typically as visual or auditory experiences. Delusions, paranoia, fears about persecution, hyperactivity and panic are also reported as the most common features.

She wasn't supposed to leave but something happened, she had some kind of outburst, was very paranoid, and they let her go, and have been involved with her today, but not at the hospital (at her home? at a clinic?).

Britney admitted to hospital Commuity.LiveJournal.com/OhNoTheyDidnt: My uncle is a nurse at CSMC and texted me 10 minutes ago saying Britney Spears was admitted about an hour ago. He's going to text me when he finds out why and any more information. I'm scared! I don't know what's going on with her.

I don't have many details. My uncle called and said she just left. He didn't see her or deal with her, one of his friend co-workers was around her for a minute. Somebody she was with brought her there and admitted her. His friend said she acted like she wasn't "there" and seemed disturbed. Because it's confidental, he doesn't know what she was admitted for or what she saw the doctor about, but because she's already gone home, that usually means nothing major. Oh, almost forgot, she was wearing a dark colored wig.

I can't explain what it is that bothers me so much about this.....To me it makes no sense....no girl would just go and shave all her hair off for no reason. Honestly, whatever happened to her, I hope Brit will be alright.

More Bald Britney

She's lost it. Brit has lost her mind. TOP THAT PARI$ AND LINDSAY!! off of ONTD:

US Magazine reported that Spears went into a hair parlor to get her head shaved and that when the hair stylist refused to shave her head, Spears grabbed the clippers and shaved it herself.

A Los Angeles television station grabbed footage of her Friday night at a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley. She was there to get a couple of tiny tattoos on her wrist, a pair of pink and red lips. Us Weekly magazine reported that she also got a black, white and pink cross tattooed on her lower hip

A parlor employee said Spears showed up unannounced and stayed for about 90 minutes, while dozens of fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside. The employee told US Magazine that Spears was agitated when she arrived at the tattoo parlor and that when someone asked her why she shaved her head, Spears said, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me." The woman said Spears "wasn't making sense at all" and that it seemed like she wasn't in a good place. She said Spears was "totally freaking out."

"She was a nightmare to deal with," the woman told the magazine. "She was screaming and flipping out from the pain and wiggling her body all around."

Police eventually arrived to control the crowd and help Spears' bodyguards guide her into a waiting SUV. And by that time, she had covered her head with the hood of a sweatshirt.

As for the new bald look, one fan who's not terribly thrilled said, "It looks terrible."

Bald Britney!!!

She's lost her damm mind! shaved her head!!! off of yahoo news:

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley with her head shaved completely bald.

Video on KABC-TV showed the newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sits Friday night for a new tattoo — a pair of red and pink lips.

"She just wanted something real small on her wrist, something dainty," Max Gott, the tattoo artist at Body and Soul in Sherman Oaks, told the TV station. "She got some cute little lips on her wrist."

Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlor, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.

"She seemed fine," Snell said. "I didn't really notice (the hairdo) at first, she had a hood on when she showed up."

The appearance came the same day as reports on TV and Web sites that Spears, who has drawn criticism for her recent partying and sloppy behavior, had briefly checked into rehab.

Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager, couldn't be reached for comment.

Syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" first reported that Spears had entered a treatment facility. Celebrity Web site TMZ.com then said the singer had entered a treatment center but had checked out one day later. Neither revealed their sources.

People magazine's Web site, citing "a source," said Spears had gone in and out of rehab, and identified the facility as Eric Clapton's Crossroads center in Antigua, in the Caribbean.

"Access Hollywood" then said the reports weren't true, but didn't cite a source.

A woman who answered the phone at Crossroads told The Associated Press that she couldn't confirm or deny anyone's presence at the facility.

Angelique Uram, a Spears fan who stood on the tattoo parlor's sidewalk for Friday night's spectacle, was aghast at the singer's new look.

"We could see her in the mirror, and her head is completely shaved," she told KABC. "It looks terrible."

Police arrived to control the crowd and helped Spears' bodyguards guide her into a waiting SUV, her head covered by a hooded sweatshirt.

I still say this is crap. I'm almost scared to think of the impact this may have on Adult Swim's programming. Now this off of yahoo.com:

ATLANTA - The head of the Cartoon Network resigned Friday following a marketing stunt that caused a security scare in Boston.

The announcement about Jim Samples resigning was made in an internal memo sent to Cartoon Network staffers.

In a statement to employees, Samples said he regrets the stir that the stunt caused.

"It's my hope that my decision allows us to put this chapter behind us and get back to our mission of delivering unrivaled original animated entertainment for consumers of all ages," Samples said.

Samples said he felt "compelled to step down, effective immediately, in recognition of the gravity of the situation that occurred under my watch."

A replacement for Samples, who had been with the company for 13 years, was not immediately announced.

The Cartoon Network is a division of Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting, whose parent is media giant Time Warner Inc.

More WTF with the whole Anna Nicole thing....

Now there's another contender for Dannielynn's father....off of Yahoo.com:

LOS ANGELES - The husband of actress Zsa Gabor said Friday that he had a decade-long affair with Anna Nicole Smith and may be her infant daughter's father.

The claim by Prince Frederick von Anhalt comes amid a paternity suit over Smith's 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn's father as attorney Howard K. Stern, but former Smith boyfriend Larry Birkhead is waging a legal challenge, saying he is the father.

"If you go back from September, she wasn't with one of those guys, she was with me," von Anhalt told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.

He said he would file a lawsuit if Dannielynn is turned over to Stern or Birkhead.

I can't believe this crap

Final Footage of Anna Nicole Smith Sells for Over $500,000

Footage of the final moments of Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's life sold for more than $500,000 Thursday after a media bidding war, according to Splash News & Picture Agency, the paparazzi outlet that sold the rights to the tape.

The video shows paramedics working on the unresponsive reality star as she was wheeled from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. Splash News screened the videotape to potential media buyers at their Los Angeles headquarters just hours after Smith's death Thursday afternoon.

Emergency responders appear to administer CPR on two separate occasions as the TrimSpa spokeswoman was wheeled out of the hotel on a gurney, according to FOX News Channel producer Christopher Spinder, who viewed the tape.

"At one point they kind of started to look like they were going to put the gurney onto the ambulance and they kind of pulled the gurney back out a little bit so they could do a second administering of CPR," Spinder said.

Her companion and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, is not visible in the video.

The two-minute tape, shot from three different angles from a distance of about 50 feet, shows Smith's sheet-covered body, with an oxygen mask over her face, being taken out of the Hard Rock Hotel by a gaggle of emergency responders, including paramedics and police.

"You cannot see her face, you cannot see hair flowing out from underneath the mask," Spinder said. "Again if someone didn't tell me this was Anna Nicole Smith, I totally would not have known it. You can't even tell it's a woman."

The video shows footage of the ambulance driving away from the hotel under a police escort, then cuts to the ambulance at Memorial Regional Hospital just after 2 p.m. ET Thursday.

"You do not see the ambulance pull into the hospital, and you do not see the body come out of the back of the ambulance," Spinder said. "You just see the ambulance sitting there.

"One would assume that the cameraman got there after the body had already been unloaded from the ambulance and was already in the hospital at that point," he said.

Smith died at 2:45 p.m. at the age of 39. She is survived by a 4-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall. Her only son, Daniel Smith, died in the Bahamas in September, three days after her daughter was born.

The winning bidder was unknown Thursday night.

Good-bye, my favorite trainwreck! Your hardship is over you crazy, crazy kook!

WTF?

What a crappy day! I lost my job and now CNN reports that Anna Nicole Smith has died:

(CNN) -- Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith is dead, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Smith, 39, collapsed at a south Florida hotel and was taken to a local hospital, according to news reports.

TMZ.com reported that Smith collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. ET.

According to reports, Smith was found unresponsive in her hotel room.

Smith is currently involved in paternity suit regarding the parentage of her daughter, Danielynn, as well as other disputes, including ones regarding a house she stayed at in the Bahamas around the time she gave birth.

Earlier this week, Smith was included in a class-action lawsuit against a company, TrimSpa, for which she has worked as a spokesperson. TrimSpa makes a product it claims leads to substantial weight loss. The lawsuit alleges the marketing of the product, TrimSpa X32, was false or misleading.

Smith's son, Daniel Wayne Smith, died at age 20 just days after the birth of Smith's daughter. Pathologist Cyril Wecht said a lethal dose of methadone and antidepressants caused cardiac dysrhythmia, leading to his death.

***

off of TMZ:

WFOR-TV in Miami reports that Anna was found unresponsive in her hotel room. Local streets were closed off to rush Smith to the hospital, three miles away.

Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken from the hotel. Anna had been hospitalized for a week last November with pneumonia.

Daughter Dannielynn, subject of an ongoing DNA test battle, was born on September 7.

Her son Daniel died of a drug overdose on September 10. Anna frequented the Hard Rock. Just a month ago, a playful Anna was caught showing off new body art to Hulk Hogan during a boxing match.

January 26, 2007 -- Paris Hilton is taking up with a former flame in a fight to get their smut off the Web.

The celebutard and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis have amassed a pit-bull legal team to attack the creators of parisexposed. com - a pay-to-view Web site boasting Hilton's most cringe-worthy memorabilia, including porn videos made during their months-long courtship.

"We're pissed and I feel for Paris right now. She's been victimized yet again," Francis told The Post yesterday. "We want this thing down and we're seeking monetary damages."Francis said that videos of him with a topless Hilton were only intended for their eyes, and that the sex-crazed heiress is "devastated" that they've been made available to the public.

"They were taken for us only when we were dating," Francis said. "These guys have absolutely no right to use the images - they flat-out put them on the Web with no permission. He messed with the wrong person."

Francis said Hilton is also seeking criminal charges because the site's creators -"Sultan of Sleaze" David Hans Schmidt and broker Bardia Persa - posted her medical records, revealing she was taking Valtrex to treat herpes.
