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.

106. Are these the documents that were stolen from ANS's house in the Bahamas?

And instead of turning these over to the police so they can take steps to protect the baby, you post them here?

What's wrong with you, Harvey?

107. stolen stuff . Harvey is on the low rung of the feeder chain . He has also played into HKSkillers hands . All this stuff was left in the Island house for TMZ to find . Howard , if not convicted - that may be hard to do NOW !! will sue TMZ and probably win . TMZ knows this but in Harveys greed to beat everyone to this story he will take the chance . Too bad HKSkiller wants this stuff out there . It " proves" that anna took drugs , was an irresponsible mother and was possible of killing herself . HOWARD SHOULD BE FORCED TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TESTS -- questions DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEATH OF ANNA -- DID YOU PAY PEOPLE OFF TO LIE ABOUT ANNA -- DID YOU GIVE DANIEL DRUGS THE DAY HE DIED ....
no further questions ......

108. Looking at each of these items (funny how tmz is the only place able to obtain documentation).

Wow even the police cannot get this information - so tmz you need to go full time into crime solving and stay out of star sightings.

These have been doctored so much by TMZ it looks like they prescribed the methodone. I think TMZ should be investigated for Anna's murder.

Posted at 3:06PM on Feb 14th 2007 by It looks like TMZ prescribed the drugs they are the killer

109. I think the reason ANS never wanted the DNA test is because she had NO clue who the dad is. Hence, she didn't want to look like a total slut. I don't think HKS killed her. She did it herself. HKS was in love with her BAD! He did whatever she wanted. He was so far up her ass it wasn't even funny. She treated him like total shit. She called the shots in that relationship. Now he is screwed!

110. I just hope the DNA test isn't done in the Bahamas. The Bahamian officials seem to be on the Anna Nicole payroll. The lawyers keep insisting Larry come there for the test, maybe they have connections at the lab,too. Bring the baby to the U.S and have the test done here, away from HKS and all the fishy shit going on there.

111. Get over it. Howard is a murderer. The Bahamian Gov't has long had a reputation for being corrupt. Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez is making baby steps to prove they are not corrupt - but Bahamians are not throwing themselves forward because they are putting themselves in danger. Stern thought he could get away with it there, and things are unraveling - what goes around, comes around Howie - it's gonna kick your ass.

113. Ok, everyone stop paying attention to her. She's a dead junkie that poisoned her unborn child and everyone feels sorry for her.

Plenty of other junkies died that day too. They didn't have the benefit of a billion dollars to make their lives more comfortable.

Whatever happened to 'Supporting the Troops' - you know, paying attention to that war that's going on rather than dead junkie celebrities...it's the least you could do...

114. How the folks at TMZ must be sitting back in their offices laughing at the herd mentality of the people that read the garbage that you are throwing in front of them. You certainly throw it out and many seem to taking this schlock at face value.

A handwritten "airbill" for a controlled substance?? I could have done a better job on that one.

A "prescription" for a controlled substance?? Where is the DEA number or the doctor's name? What is the name of the pharmacy that supposedly filled this order?

It is unfortunate enough that this poor woman may have lived a lifestyle that contributed to her early death. She has born the consequences of her behavior and the choices that she made.

If there is any chance that these items are not a Photoshop fantasy, then TMZ would have to have obtained them from the criminals who stole them from Smith's residence after her death. Who has the moral high ground here??? TMZ???

115. Howard K. Stern didn't LET anyone do anything. I've had PLENTY of friends with drug problems and this is a FREE COUNTRY so unless she wanted help, there was NOTHING he could have done. STOP PUTTING THE BLAME ON HIM!

116. Are u really kidding me. Give the baby to Anna's mother - who by the way stated that her daughter had alot of money and never gave HER any.....Yeah, i would want my child to go directly to her where she will have a wonderful, loving surroundings just like Anna had...UNDERSTAND SOMETHING -DUCKS HAVE DUCKS.....AND MOTHER DEAREST IS THE BIGGEST QUACK

117. Anna's mom should be allowed to bury her where she pleases and have Daniel's body moved to wherever that happens to be. They are her children and HKS should have married her years ago and adopted Daniel if he wanted to have a say in this. HKS was involved in keeping her family out of her life and the drugs aided him in doing so. Anna was one of those people who chose to be a "victim" of circumstance all of her life and HKS played on that instead of lifting her up from it. Her mother loved her & Daniel.

118. Has anyone thought why she hated her Mother soo bad? Maybe cuz her mother called her on being the addict that she was..Think about it..We did not hear of her hating her mother so much until we saw her life going on a dowhill spiral. Maybe she hated her mother because her Mother actually spoke the truth to her. Think about it..She seems to cut people off left and right..What happened to her crazy assistant from her show? The only constant in her life seemed to be Howard because he just sat back and let her destroy herself. Everyone has been qouted as saying she was very strong willed and had to have her way. He was her "yes" guy which is why I find him disgusting because he sat back and let her destroy herself. ..And for those who are saying Anna wanted Howard to be with the baby, she did not know what she wanted. She was a drug addict..They dont make sane decisions. Whats normal to them is completely off to us. Howard needs to be thrown in jail

119. Regardless of her manipulation skills...and I agree she was strong willed and a gold digger . BUT she was also not a bad person, just a silly silly young woman who turned into an older woman.

I think the POLICE did the break in. They are trying to freak Stern out.

Stern is a killer, an administrator of illegal substances, he knew exactly what Anna was taking, he gave it to her.

The plot is thick,: A) was the person who put her in the ice bath really a nurse? B) why did they call Stern before calling 911? C) If Stern loved and cared about Anna like he professes why did he not have her put in rehab and seek help after the firt suicide attempt D) Stern is NOT the father of the baby E) Why is Stern being protected...who has he promised a piece of the pie to?

I hope Stern fries behind bars
