Celebrity Justice
Pregnant Anna Got Methadone, Demerol

TMZ has obtained documents that show how an 8-months pregnant Anna Nicole Smith scored methadone during her pregnancy -- and the prescription may have been illegal.


TMZ also obtained an air bill dated August 8, 2006, that states a package containing Demerol (30 pills), a morphine-like drug, Dalmane (30 pills), a sleeping pill, and injectable vials of vitamin B12 were sent to Vickie Marshall in the Bahamas. Vickie Marshall is Anna Nicole's legal name. This afternoon, the doctor who sent the medication to Anna told TMZ it was not written for her, even though it was mailed to her. He would not reveal to TMZ for whom it was written.

TMZ has also obtained a prescription dated August 25, 2006 written to a Michelle Chase for 500 ml of methadone (5mg/5ml solution). Michelle Chase was also a name used by Anna. According to California law, it's illegal to give a false name or false address "in connection with the prescribing, furnishing, administering, or dispensing of a controlled substance."


TMZ has also obtained a separate air bill, dated the very same day, that shows a package containing 500 ml of methadone was sent to Vicky Marshall in the Bahamas.

We're told one of the main reasons Larry Birkhead broke off his relationship with Smith was because she was doing drugs while pregnant. Birkhead has accused Stern of facilitating Smith's drug use.

Dannielynn was born September 7, 2006.

1. WHY would doctors give a pregnant woman (famous or not) these drugs? That baby may need rehab herself. WHY would Anna be so irresponsible with the life of her unborn child? Where was HKS during all of this and why would he enable Anna instead of getting her help if the child was his? Slimeball!!!!
Give the baby to Brangelina.

6. I shall file this under the "SHOCKING" category. Also, Richard SImmons might be gay, that too would be filed under "SHOCKING".

7. My God...this just keeps getting more and more awful.

The biggest loser in all this? Little Dannielynn.

8. yeah well, for all you lemmings who are overrating ANS's character, here you go. Proof she was, at the very least, prepared to put her baby in danger for her own selfish habits - drugs being only one of many. phew

9. wow! Someone get the baby away for HKS. Mother, Larry, one of the other random men. Just away from HKS!

Honest to goodness. I believe Anna was drugged out. I don't think Anna was killed but HKS really just let her do it (or at least stood by and watched). Even if he tried to help her, sometimes you just have to walk away and draw a line. Clearly he had no lines with her.

So, albiet her mother and her were fighting. Yes, she may have hated her mother. But if she was taking these drugs while preggers is her judgement of another person sound? If you saw a pregger person drinking a beer, EVERYONE gives the evil stare. This woman was clearly drugged to high heaven, yet there really isn't anyone that is saying Anna's judgement was clearly off. And CLEARLY HKS was the witness to it all.

Prayers to the baby, I hope you are not damaged by your mom. Prayers that the baby goes to anyone and the sooner the better

10. Oh no, the poor baby.

11. Why should this be a surprise to anyone? Obviously, everyone other than HKS has been saying the same thing for quite some time! Perhaps the Courts will take note!

13. Those are heavy duty drugs. I think the estate of ANS needs to consider filing charges against anyone who aided and abetted her in her drug dependency. HKS- can you hear me?

14. Does this make Howard an accessory after the fact for allowing her to deliver a drug-dependent baby? Is he negligent for not getting medical treatment for the infant after delivery?

15. Disturbing! I hope the drs prescribing these meds to ANS alias will be questioned! What dr in their right mind would do such a thing?
