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.

31. Why isn't anyone questioning how all these documents & pictures of the refridgerator were gotten?? Are these from the people who broke into her house & stole all her personal items - so sick & pathetic!!!! Let her rest & let police do their work, not the paps!

32. Anna was an addict. Lest we forget that - not! If anyone has followed her career, it is apparent she has been an addict for years. Howard K Stern is know to have partaken in drug use with her. He was her Svengali, her Rasputin. The guy was and is a scum.

Did anyone see her on the tabloid shows? She could barely speak...yet he was always there beside her. Her eyes, her ears and her sometimes voice. He is creepy. I think he kept her drugged up and doped up to the nines. " Here honey take this, you will feel better". Addicts do that. My brother is one...they only care about the drug.

Poor Anna needed an intervention. Meanwhile, her son Daniel, known not to ever partake in drugs or alcohol mysteriously dies of a meth overdose while in Howards presence. Then Anna mysteriously dies. A heatlhy 20 year old and according to doctors a relatively healthy 39 year old woman. Someone has blood and drugs on their dirty hands and it reeks...Howard K Stern, rot in hell.

I cannot believe a criminal investigation was not done immediately upon Daniels death....arrest Stern, give him a lie detector test...he will fail all the way to hell.

33. #27, to answer your question, HKS has asserted he's the father. If she was taking these meds during her pregnancy and he had knowledge of that, and most likely signed the air bills, the baby's health was put in danger and obviously absorbed these meds!! In the US, the Courts would remove the child from them if tox report showed baby had drugs in system! It's all a fooking scandal and HKS knows it! SOMEONE SHOULD DEMAND IMMEDIATE DRUG TESTING ON THE KID, THEN REMOVE THE KID FROM HKS IF ANY DRUGS ARE FOUND IN THE CHILD'S SYSTEM!

34. Where and how were these documents "obtained"?? Perhaps when the house was ransacked? HKS said that a bunch of documents were stolen. But good for them to take this stuff before HKS could hide it all and further cover up her addiction and his obvious enabling!!! I bet there is so much more to come and I wonder how all this will or can be used to get the baby away from HKS or even press charges. Keep em coming TMZ!!!!!! OMG get that baby away from him! Larry tired to stop this and now OBVIOUSLY HKS only helped fuel her addiction! No denying it!!!!

35. Someone needs to get an interview with the doctors who delivered the baby and the pediatricians who took care of this baby. Certainly, someone in that hospital knew that this was going to be an opiate-addicted baby that would require serious medical care to avoid dangerous opiate withdrawl. This baby should have been an inpatient for weeks, and would have required serious nursing care to do well. Not that creepy "private nurse" that found ANS.

Get this baby out of the hands of HKS and into a safe home with a loving family. I am impressed by the rational behavior of the Thompson family, and I think they would do a terrific job of raising her.

36. If the baby is HKS's, why would he let Anna take the chance of killing their unborn baby?

This is just too messed up.

37. Vergie is on ABC, MSNBC and they do not pay for interviews! ET DOES and HKS got paid and big!

Illegal or not I'm glad allt his was "obtained" to uncover the obvious abuse of drugs with Anna and now the baby!!

38. Larry,

I know you are the daddy no doubt in my mind. I hope you and the grandmother will work together and get that poor baby away from that drug idiot before its too late and teach that child right from wrong about drugs. I hope she'll be a lot smarter than her mommy was. Good luck!

39. I guess all you people that said 'that's not her fridge' were wrong! here's the evidence right here. hopefully tmz also makes law enforcement aware of these documents. what a tangled web! the reasons for everything anna did are clearly unfolding now, it is so obviously every decision she (howard) made was premeditated and in the interests of protecting secrets.

40. what I want to know is where are all the posters that just a few days ago didn't believe the drugs in the fridge could have POSSIBLY been Virgin Anna's...oh no that must have been planted there by TMZ or Virgie or Larry or any one of the mean, cruel people preying on poor poor ANS. Get real people, she had a drug addiction along with what appears to be a sex addiction, I am amazed she could even walk with all that action going on down there. The only person that deserves our compassion and understanding at this point is that precious child.

42. Anna Nicole Smith was a woman who surrounded herself with people that were obsessed with her. Howard K. Stern was a pussy whipped sucker. It doesn't matter what he or anyone else tried to do...she was the boss. If she didn't want to go to rehab, then there was no way she was going. If she wanted to use drugs while pregnant, then she did. There was no calming force in her life. So when she lost Daniel, there was no one to lead her down the right path. Just people that did what she wanted.

43. I BELIEVE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THAT MR. HOWARD STERN IS INVOLVED IN THE DEATH OF DANIEL AND NICHOLE. PREVENTING HER TO HAVE CONTACT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY MAKES HIM LOOK EVEN MORE GUILTY. HE SHOULD LET THE GRANDMOTHER SEE THAT BABY... SHE CALLED HER MOTHER WHEN DANIEL DIED AND HE CHANGED THE NUMBER SO SHE COULDN'T GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ANNA NICHOLE. DANNYLYNN SHOULD GO TO THE BEST PERSON TO CARE FOR HER (THAT IS NOT!!! HOWARD STERN) AND THE PROPER FATHER SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED FIRST. EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO TEST 500 PEOPLE TO FIND OUT.
CONCERNED PERSON

44. Getting your info from the stolen papers from ANS house? Shame shame shame.

45. O.M.G. The Bahamian government needs to step in NOW and have the child tested.

How horribly sad.
