Anna Nicole Smith

One of the shady doctors charged in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case claims prosecutors have no evidence he conspired to pump her full of drugs.

As a result of this "misunderstanding," Dr. Sandeep Kapoor wants the judge to throw out some charges he faces in the late model's 2007 death.

We've talked about the O.J. factor and how it's making investigators in the Michael Jackson case act with such extreme patience and caution at every turn.

Basically, there's no rush, and they don't want to let another winnable, high-profile case go by the wayside because they got sloppy like with the Juice.

A nanny who once worked for Anna Nicole Smith claimed she saw Howard K. Stern and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich force drugs on the late Playboy model.

This according to an investigator testifying in courtyesterday.

A California pharmacist testified that he refused to fill a prescription for Anna Nicole Smith written by Smith's psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, in 2006.

Why wouldn't he do so? Because the high doses of medication the doc wanted to give Smith amounted to "pharmaceutical suicide." That's a fairly good reason.

Anna Nicole Smith's death wasn't pretty. In fact, it was the polar opposite.Revelations made in the first hours of the preliminary hearing against Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor - the trio facing a combined 23 felony charges relating to the star's drug use and death - are disgusting.

We're talkin' feces in the bed, infections in uncomfortable places, blue-lipped ugliness. Detectives investigating the Playboy model's death found the following:

The preliminary hearing for the three shady defendants accused of enabling the drug habit of Anna Nicole Smith - her former companion Howard K. Stern and her former Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich - begins this week.

Those three are in deep $h!t, but ironically, Stern's fate could be in the hands of Larry Birkhead. His former rival will be in the spotlight, and a sticky situation.

Mark "Hollywood" Hatten used to date Anna Nicole Smith. Yeah, yeah. We know. Didn't we all. But his allegations are much more scandalous than that.

The FBI believed Anna Nicole Smith schemed to kill her late husband's son to secure his family fortune, and investigated her for it from 2000-2001.

Anything associated with Anna Nicole Smith is doomed this week.

First, Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were all arraigned on felony charges in the 2007 death of the Playboy Playmate.

Howard K. Stern, the former companion and wannabe baby daddy of Anna Nicole Smith, was arraigned today on 11 felony charges related to her drug use.

The charges include allegations that Stern, the late model's principal enabler, helped the Playboy model score opiate prescriptions using aliases, a major crime.

The late Anna Nicole Smith had 11 different medications in her hotel room when she died, all prescribed by one doctor, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Court documents reveal that a Valley Village, Calif., pharmacist refused to fill an order for six potent substances faxed by Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist.

Principal enabler or media victim? Having been arrested as the former in the death of Anna Nicole Smith, her former lover will attempt to cast himself as the latter.

Howard K. Stern will "ultimately be exonerated," says his attorney, Krista Barth, about charges that Stern, along with two doctors, helped kill Anna Nicole by supplying the Playboy icon the prescription drugs that led to her fatal 2007 overdose.

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."

We wish we never had to write about someone as despicable as Howard K. Stern ever again.

But the ex-lover of Anna Nicole Smith has been arrested, more than two years after the model died of a drug overdose.

Two years after Anna Nicole Smith's tragic death at the age of 39, there's still a void in the lives of the men who loved her most - and once waged a bitter war in which both were adamant in laying claim to Anna's infant daughter:

Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead.

This is a worse idea than a Dina Lohan and Ali Lohan reality show.

Willa Ford is starring as Anna Nicole Smith in the upcoming movie I Wanna Be Bad. We wish we were making this up, but take a look:

The following is a newly released video of Anna Nicole Smith.

The late actress appears far from mentally stable, with a nine-year old girl (daughter of Ford Shelley, whose father-in-law's home Anna was staying in) begging the cameraman to stop footage because the pregnant Smith is obviously in need of help.

Lawyers for Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, the psychiatrist of Anna Nicole Smith under investigation in the Playmate's death, are challenging the validity of search warrants used in last Friday's raid on her home.

According to TMZ, the home of Khristine Erosovich was one of the locations raided by state officials as part of an investigation into the doctors who prescribed medications to Smith, who died in Florida February 8.

Authorities investigating the mysterious death of Anna Nicole Smith raided six locations Friday, including the offices and residences of two doctors, according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.

According to the Associated Press, county prosecutors were aware of the raids in the Los Angeles area but were not involved in the operation.

No program or mindset has ever been installed in Britney Spears that makes her just want to stay home, clean the house, make a PBJ sandwich and watch The Hills sometimes.

This would also mean, you know, spending time with her sons.

The Hollywood Gossip tells it like it is.

As a celebrity gossip provider, that means you've occasionally got to get down, dirty, explicit and profane in covering the famous people that make the news.

Could it be that Brooke Hogan is no longer our least favorite "Hogan" in Hollywood?

Might Dina Lohan not be the most insane family member of a celebrity?

We weren't sure what to make of the news that Willa Ford would be portraying Anna Nicole Smith in an upcoming movie.

All we really knew about Ford was that she was engaged to a hockey player and had never dated Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Or so she claimed.

This week isn't just bringing good news to fans of Larry Birkhead.

Those that have been clamoring for a biopic of Anna Nicole Smith to hit the big screen are in luck: a film version of this starlet's life begins shooting next week. And just who will portray the former Playboy model?

Move over, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. You've got company.

TMZ has just confirmed the California Medical Board is conducting a formal investigation into Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Anna Nicole Smith's shrink.
