As previously reported, Howard K. Stern was arrested yesterday for conspiring to provide Anna Nicole Smith with the illegal narcotics that contributed to her death.
But it gets even worse for the former model's former lover: at a news conference today, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Stern was "the principal enabler" of the thousands of prescription pills that led to Smith's 2007 death.
According to Brown, Stern conspired with Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich in "prescribing drugs excessively to a known addict and using false and fictitious names all in violation of the law and all in furtherance of a conspiracy."
Howard K. Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor are seen here, mug shotted for all to see.
Why would Stern have gone to such dangerous lengths?
"There's a certain psychic gain here, part of the glitz the celebrity and the power," Brown said. "There's a lot of money floating around."
In related news, an investigation by The Hollywood Gossip found assbag Larry Birkhead to be the principal enabler of pimping out Dannielynn.

Frankly, I'm annoyed that Attorney General Brown (whom I wholly respect) has taken the position on Anna, that she was an addict and therefore vulnerable and a victim of her enablers. I agree with Attorney General Brown on the legal aspects as far as the doctors go, but Anna, a vulnerable victim? That is ridiculous! I am not a celebrity, a millionaire, a doctor or a lawyer, but I am ten years sober and working a strict and disciplined program in recovery. I don't expect a standing ovation for my recovery because I was a victim of my enablers. I am a former stand-in for Anna Nicole and had a few experiences of my own with her. As I am recovering from addiction, I am now also a public speaker on addiction and recovery, specifically for women. In my ten years of continuous recovery I have learned that my old ways were very manipulative and that with my beauty, attitude and impatient behavior, I could manipulate people into giving me just about anything I wanted, if that was what I chose. I am not the exception of what I learned about myself in my recovery, I am the rule.
I have had my share of enablers, however, I do not blame those who contributed to my addiction (at my request) for the hardship I suffered back then. I had to learn to hold myself accountable! In my active addiction I knew I was calculating each and every action very carefully when it came to getting my hands on drugs. Anything that happened before that or thereafter did not matter to me and I can tell you from my experience in recovery, it matters to no addict. Though I do not have any evidence, I have seen photos of Howard K. Stern where he looks like he was taking something that made him appear "high" and after reading the criminal complaint, I cannot imagine that any reasonable, sober man with a law degree would behave in the way he did if there was not something in it for him in terms of drug use. Monetary issues are a different story and clearly a motivation for Stern as well. But I don’t think that this is the issue here. The doctors are guilty as sin. No doubt. Anna should have been committed just like Britney Spears was. I think that Anna Nicole, though at times a very sweet woman, did not always want logic or reason to play a role in her life. The word "consequences" was not on her mind. Addiction, like recovery, is a choice. I am sick and tired of hearing about out-of-control addicts like Anna, being a victim of their enablers. Give me a break! Anna did not want to lose weight, so she took drugs. She did not like her breasts, so she got seven breast surgeries (that we know of), she did not like her teeth, so she got giant white teeth implanted in her mouth...and on and on and on. Everything Anna did was to change her outside appearance because she could not face what was waiting for her on the inside. Typical addict. I know! These surgeries alone have hooked many people on drugs. You could not tell her to get a job to make her feel useful or take direction and I'm sure you could not tell her to get sober. Her choices in life made her feel like she was above anyone else and that somehow she was entitled to a different set of rules than other people. Addict mentality 101. The doctors are guilty, they broke the law. But Anna killed Anna, she made the choices. All I can say is, thank god I’m sober!
