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.

196. wHAT NEXT???? ANS WAS WASTED DURING HER PREGNACY. wHY WHY WHY WOULD HKS EVER ALLOW HER TO DO THAT IF IT WAS HIS BABY??He has been a 'hanger-onner" for too many years. The baby will have to suffer for all of the greed that hks has. I don't think we should expect this whole mess to go without some paying off!!! (just like OJ)..Money buys anything.

197. WELL I GUESS IT IS CONFIRMED THAT ANNA NICOLE DID HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY BECAUSE INJECTABLE VITAMIN B-12 IS SOMETHING GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENTS HAVE TO TAKE FOR THE REST F THEIR LIVES!
I TAKE 1ML OF B-12 TWICE A MONTH BECAUSE MY BODY DOES NOT ABSORB VITAMINS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO DUE TO MY GASTRIC. WHY ELSE WOULD SHE BE TAKING IT?

198.
No matter what, this is a person who died at a very young age. A person died, that's sad in itself. All these stories, you don't know what's true and what's false. I don't think the person or the situation should be judged. No one knew her heart but God. Yes, the baby is the innocent victim. She will never know who her mother or even maybe who her real father is. I hope drugs weren't a part of this little innoncent DannieLynn's life. She had no choice, and I hope she has a good life.

199. Is the state Bar checking into Howard Sterns Ethic's with a client , and shouldn't all of her legal matters he has handled for her be checked into by the state Bar? Im sure he has done things that he was no suppose to and had her sign documents while she was not of sound mind, on drugs. And shouldnt the will be investigated to make sure its her signature and maybe she signed it under the influence? Is it true her face was cover up on the bed when the badyguard found her? If so why? who covered her up? and that usually is a sign of remorse on the person who harmed her?
I think Larry may be the father, and its sad a woman had so little self esteem she felt the need to sleep around, and Howard watched it all happen.
Two people died on his watch, and he should be ashmaned.

202. Fingers should not be pointed at Howard what could he have done differently to stop her??, Anna Nicole had a HUGE drug problem long before Howard K Stern was in her life, everyone knows that a substance abuser will do anything to get the drugs they crave regardless of who they harm. Daniel and Dannielynn are obvious victims in their mothers self destructive death wish that she called her life. It is pretty obvious that Anna had something to do with Daniel having access to her Methadone stash in her unlocked refrigerator. Maybe that is the real cause of her grief knowing she was ultimately responsible for her son being introduced to her drug of choice and ending his life.
Anna Nicole Smith does not have my sympathy, she will be remembered along with countless othe celebrity people who have it all but do not appreciate the lives they had.

203. I FEEL VERY BAD FOR THE CHILD LEFT BEHIND AND WILL NEVER KNOW HER MOTHER OR A MOTHERS LOVE. IF ANNA NICOLE DIED OF AN OVERDOSE I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS ACCIDENTAL. SHE NEVER RECOVERED FROM DANIELS DEATH. AS FAR AS THE PATERNITY IN QUESTION HOWARD K STERN HAS BEEN ORDERED B Y THE COURT IN FLORIDA TO APPEAR ON TUESDAY WHY NOT BRING DANIELYNN WITH HIM TO TAKE A DNA TEST SO THAT THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED. IF HE IS THE FATHER AS HE SO STATES WHY NOT JUST GET THE DNA TEST DONE AND OVER WITH. IF HE DOESN'T SUBMIT TO AN DNA TEST THEN HE IS HIDING SOMETHING. WHERE SHOULD ANNA NICOLE BE BURIED THAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE MOMENT. i PERSONALLY THINK THAT SHE SHOULD BE BURIED IN THE BAHAMAS NEXT TO HER SON. IN HAVING HER BURIED IN THE BAHAMAS IS IN NO WAY A VICTORY FOR HOWARD K. STERN BUT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

204. I realize it wouldn't be good media attention.... but if Howard Stern would just provide his damn DNA all this attention and fighting would be over. Put the poor woman to rest beside her son... as a mother, her mother should understand this. I believe Anna did this to herself but I wholeheartedly believe that Stern is greatly responsible for enabling her or at the very least not getting her the help she so desperately needed. It doesn't take rocket science to know that if all parties involved would submit DNA we could let this poor little girl go on with life. Howard knows he isn't the father, what other earthly reason would he not want to prove that others are not! I could not stand to watch this whacked out drug crazed woman on TV but this child does not deserve this. Her mother committed suicide, give her a father and a chance to have a life already!

205. First it's the war in Iraq...are any of them given meds??? How about the families when many casualties were beheaded??? Now Anna Nicole's life is at anyone's discretion to complain about?? There may be good reason that the baby , as she grows into a young adult, will need to be advised as to why she may not want contact with the grandmother. Regardless of what kind of drugs are determined to be in Anna Nicole's toxicology report ....the issue here is RESPECT. BLESS THE DEAD!!!...WHAT WOULD PROMPT PEOPLE TO PRETEND THAT THEY KNOW ANNA, HOWARD, DANIEL, AND DANNIELYNN....WHEN THEY KNOW NOTHING... YOUR OPINIONS AND VIEWPOINTS ARE REALLY HURTFUL...WHY DO YOU WANT TO HURT SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY DEAD???? WHAT IS GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND WHEN YOU DIE??? TAKE CARE OF THE LIFE YOU HAVE TODAY...WHY NOT EVEN ENJOY IT....OR DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER??? LIFE IS EASY....DRAMA SUCKS !!!

206. That poor child. Howard Stern is the one who did this to Anna. He just looks like a man with shady criminal dealings. He was in love with her and used her neediness to his advantage. I think he kept her supplied in the drugs to Anna and to Daniel and it was just too much. Poor Anna. She was something else., but you couldn't help but love her. She definitely had a hard life. I feel so very sorry for that Baby. Hopefully she will find peace soon.

207. many of you are saying that the drugs ANS was taking while pregnant were perfectly safe. But what you all seemed to have failed to see these were not prescribed by her baby doctor. Somewhere I read that she and HKS took them all made in some kind of coctail mixed with orange juice. So think about Daniel's death he had 7/10 times the doses. Perhaps what you should be thinking about is the amount of these drugs she was taking.

208. Get the baby back in the U.S. and away from Stern. I don't know about letting Virgie have custody of Danielynn, but that child needs to get away from the life she has had since being born. Nothing made any sense in her mother's life and thus the aftermath that has followed her demise. I don't think a grieving mother would be so concerned about her appearance and getting a new tatoo and having a "committment ceremony" and let someone purchase photos of her c-section and other personal photos. It's just awful. When you hurt and are so very depressed, you could not care less about how you look! Ask any person suffering from extreme depression.

209. May Anna be buried next to her Son Daniel as was her wish. Shame ! on her Mother..

210. I think ANS was a drug addict, disillusioned if you ask me,,then she hookep up with infatuated fool HKS who had a plan,,finish Daneil, then Anna,,then claim his daddy and disappear, if anything he's the enabler in the whole situation. shame on his dumb ass anyway
poor kid i agree Brangelina should adopt her,,lol!!!
