Warrants Served in Anna Nicole's Death

TMZ has learned that the California Department of Justice began serving search warrants Friday in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith. One was served this morning at the home of Anna's psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, and we're told Howard K. Stern was actually there at the time!

We're told that eight warrants were served altogether by armed officers, and these may be connected to the Department's investigation of Dr. Eroshevich. KABC cameras caught Dr. Eroshevich outside her home today. Sources say the warrants were served at several businesses connected to Anna's doctors and at a storage facility. Ellyn Garafalo, a lawyer for Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who prescribed methadone to Smith shortly before she died, confirmed to the AP the doctor's home and offices were among those raided.

As TMZ first reported, the Medical Board of California is investigating Eroshevich, who ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.


UPDATES: We're told the DOJ will hold a press conference at 11:00 AM. Stay tuned!

Howard: A Million Tear$

Posted Feb 12th 2007 2:01PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Anna Nicole Smith

Howard K. Stern is reportedly about to make bank over Anna Nicole Smith -- by giving a "tell-all" interview to "Entertainment Tonight" -- just days after Anna's death.

The buzz is that "ET" forked over a cool $1 million for the exclusive interview, which begins airing in segments tonight, but exact details of the deal remain secret. TMZ was unable to confirm that, but it's a safe bet it's a large number. The interview takes place during Howard's flight from Florida to the Bahamas to secure Dannielynn.

In a preview clip posted on YouTube, Stern is seen "crying" over Anna's death while bleating lines like, "I just want her to be with Daniel, I hope that they're happy ... she was such a wonderful person."

93. Birkhead: Howard Made Me Deny Being Dad

Larry Birkhead told the court in the Anna Nicole Smith case that Howard K. Stern bugged him relentlessly in May 2006, to deny to magazines and tabloids that he was the father of Dannielynn, even calling him "200 times" while Birkhead was working, to try to persuade him.

Birkhead said that he obliged Stern's request just to "get him off my back," but later sold photos establishing his relationship with Anna Nicole to reverse the media report and correct the record.

94. I too watched Howard on Larry King. His response to her behavior in the infamous "clown video" was brushed off by him with the lame excuse that she was pretending to be a little girl. Please! Look at her when she's filmed outside, the movement of her mouth, her body, how she stares up to the sky, she's tripping her face off. What made me sick about it was him laughing at it. He's still an unemployed leach. I guess it must be tough to find a new cash cow at this point. Maybe he should give Ms. Spear's a call. I'm sure he could find a way to drain her bank account, it wont be too hard since she's already in a drug and alcohol induced fog.

96. It's about damn time! Interesting HK$ was there too. Your known for the company you keep.

Look at her eyes. She looks dead emotionally.

Now if the Feds serve Big Mo, that ditchpig/nurse/wife of his and HK4's bumboi Larry that would be good as well as the Bahamian Dr. Feelgood, the boat's owner, the captain (I forget his name but he's a Bahamian official), that idiot's father too.

Ah hell the whole farkin' bunch of them are rotten to the core.

I'd love to see Ron Rale served and sentenced.

Anna got what she wanted - fame - but at a price and it looks good on her. Her Mom was right when she warned her to watch out for whom she associated with.

Virgie was dead right.

Before Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern went to war over Anna Nicole Smith's newborn kid, the two men actually spent a lot of time together having fun. In these pictures taken last year, the dueling daddy candidates were spotted down under, frolicking with Anna around Sydney's Luna Amusement Park right before the 2005 MTV Awards in Australia. Ah the good ol' days. Birkhead appeared in front of a judge Wednesday morning asking that Anna Nicole be ordered to return from the Bahamas and submit to a paternity test. Unfortunately Birkhead will have to wait for the results, as the hearing was pushed until October 26.

99. Howard made me want to vomit on Larry King lying about all the drugs he gave Anna.
The best ones were the excuses he made for the video of the stoned Anna in the clown face as just kidding around and the picture of her with the vomit coming out of her mouth which I had not seen before as just Anna's bad eating manners.
He is so sleazy he makes Rita look like an Angel.
Larry has turned out to be as sleazy as trashy Anna and the people she kept around her.
People talk about Vergie she is no worse as the rest of the whores around Anna.
