Howard K. Stern filed the will of Anna Nicole Smith in an LA probate court earlier today. According to the papers, her total assets of $710,000 were to be left to her son Daniel, who died on September 10 in the Bahamas. Smith's estate stands to be worth substantially more if her lawyers are successful in their pursuit of the former Playmate's claim against the estate of her late husband Howard J. Marshall. In a separate petition, Larry Birkhead filed documents in LA Superior Court today formally requesting to be named as official guardian of his daughter Dannielynn's estate. "What this means - if granted - is that Stern as the executor will have to deal with Birkhead on any matters pertaining to Anna Nicole's estate," says an LA probate attorney. "Birkhead and Stern appear to be cooperating in pursuit of Smith's claim against the Marshall estate - that's where the principal money is." Hearings in both cases were set for June 19.

Anna Nicole's will filed
Howard K. Stern filed the will of Anna Nicole Smith in an LA probate court earlier today. According to the papers, her total assets of $710,000 were to be left to her son Daniel, who died on September 10 in the Bahamas. Smith's estate stands to be worth substantially more if her lawyers are successful in their pursuit of the former Playmate's claim against the estate of her late husband Howard J. Marshall. In a separate petition, Larry Birkhead filed documents in LA Superior Court today formally requesting to be named as official guardian of his daughter Dannielynn's estate. "What this means - if granted - is that Stern as the executor will have to deal with Birkhead on any matters pertaining to Anna Nicole's estate," says an LA probate attorney.

Larry Birkhead cashes in on fame
It seems there's a strong motivation behind Larry Birkhead's multiple appearances on Access Hollywood and other NBC shows - the former photographer reportedly signed a secret $1 million deal with the network. According to an insider, Birkhead inked a contract with NBC Universal shortly after the funeral of ex-girlfriend Anna Nicole Smith. "NBC Universal has an exclusive contract with Larry Birkhead and we don't discuss the terms of our deals," a rep for NBC station Bravo confirmed. Birkhead is reportedly flying back to the U.S. from the Bahamas with baby Dannielynn today. "They'll be on board a Bravo-funded plane along with Howard K. Stern and the network is planning some kind of big interview," says an insider. "NBC Universal made the deal with Larry right after the funeral. NBC did it through their entertainment division so there wouldn't be any uproar about it coming from news."
No custody terms reached; Stern files slander suit
No judgment has been made in the custody battle for Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn. A scheduled custody hearing was delayed yesterday in the Bahamas to give the baby's father, Larry Birkhead, and Smith's mother Virgie Arthur more time to negotiate a private visitation arrangement. Birkhead and Arthur are expected to meet today to discuss a possible agreement. "No press, no lawyers, no nothing," said Arthur's lawyer. "They are going to figure out what they believe is in the best interests of the child and try to get it done." Meanwhile, Howard K. Stern, Smith's companion and former attorney, filed a slander lawsuit yesterday against an attorney for Arthur who suggested he was involved in the former Playmate's death. The suit, filed in West Palm Beach, also accuses the lawyer of invasion of privacy and seeks unspecified damages.
Willa Ford to play Anna Nicole
Former Playmate Willa Ford will play Anna Nicole Smith in an upcoming biopic. The film, entitled Anna Nicole, will follow Smith's life from the age of 17 until her death earlier this year. The film is one of several projects currently in the works about Smith. In another production, Courtney Love is being lined up to play the model and reality show star. Baywatch alum Kristy Swanson plays Smith in a Law & Order episode set to air May 8.

Larry Birkhead is Indeed the Father of Baby Dannielynn
Proving what most of us already knew, DNA tests have in fact confirmed Larry Birkhead as the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby girl, Dannielynn.
Larry Birkhead said outside of Bahamian court earlier today, "I hate to be the one who told you this, but I told you so. My baby's going to be coming home pretty soon."
Anna's friend and attorney Howard K. Stern was named as the father on the birth certificate. Stern has claimed all along that he was the father of Dannielynn, but that has proved to be a ploy conspired with Smith to keep Birkhead from getting custody of the baby girl.
"I'm obviously very disappointed, but my feelings toward Danniellyn have not changed," Stern said outside of the courtroom.
Stern also told reporters that he will not fight Birkhead for custody.
"We're going to do what we can to make sure that the best interests of Danniellyn are carried out," Stern said. "I'm going to do what I can to make sure that he gets sole custody."
Stern also stated that Birkhead is free to start spending as much time as he wants with his daughter. Gee, what a guy.
Virgie Arthur, Anna's mother, also sought custody of the child but seemed pleased with the DNA results.
"I'm happy that Dannielynn will know who her real father is," Arthur told reporters outside of court. "I look forward to working with Larry to raising my granddaughter and doing the very best for her."
The DNA analysis was also confirmed by Dr. Michael Baird, an expert in genetic evidence.
Baird, who analyzed the results of a March 21st DNA test, announced the results outside the court.
"Essentially, he's the biological father," Baird said.

Larry is the father of Anna Nicole's baby
Finally...the identity of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn has been confirmed to be Larry Birkhead. "I hate to be the one who told you this, but I told you so. I'm the father," Birkhead told reporters outside the Bahamas courthouse where a hearing was held this afternoon. "Thank you for your support. Thank you for the people who got me this far. Thank you very much. My baby's gonna be coming home pretty soon... I think she would be proud I fought," the photographer said of former girlfriend Smith. Howard K. Stern also made a statement to the press, saying, "I am obviously very disappointed... I am not going to fight Larry Birkhead for custody. I will do everything I can to make sure he gets sole custody." Smith's longtime lawyer and companion added that he'd like the custody transition to be "gradual" so Dannielynn can adjust. To confuse things further in the seemingly endless case, no ruling has been made on the issue of custody. Birkhead's attorney told press, "We'll be back in court on Friday in the afternoon. We've got some other issues to deal with. [The judge] hadn't made any ruling about custody yet."

Paternity hearing delayed
The paternity hearing in the case of Anna Nicole Smith that was scheduled for this morning at 10 a.m. has been pushed back to 2:30 p.m. EDT. Larry Birkhead, Howard K. Stern and Virgie Arthur are all expected to be in attendance. Arthur reportedly plans to fight for custody of Dannielynn no matter what the results of the DNA tests.
Stern will step aside if Birkhead is Dannielynn's dad
Howard K. Stern has announced that he will not stand in the way of Larry Birkhead if the results of DNA tests to determine the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter reveal that Birkhead is the father. "Sources" issued a statement to TMZ that reads:"If Larry Birkhead is confirmed to be Dannielynn's biological father, Howard will not challenge custody. His love for her will not change, irrespective of the results. Howard will act in Dannielynn's best interest, because he loves her and would want a smooth transition to protect her, as she is deeply bonded to those who have been with her since birth.The results of the DNA testing will be revealed in court tomorrow in the Bahamas. Stern and Birkhead will both be present.
While Howard continues to believe and hope that he is Dannielynn's biological father, he wants to be involved in her life, regardless of paternity. He wants to share the memories of her mother as the person who knew Anna best and all she wanted for Dannielynn. Howard will do whatever is necessary to assist Larry Birkhead to defeat any effort by Virgie Arthur to obtain custody of Dannielynn.
Howard was not part of the paternity lawsuit filed while Anna Nicole was alive. The first person to challenge Howard on custody was Virgie Arthur - not Larry Birkhead. Howard is dedicated to Virgie Arthur not having custody of Dannielynn. He is well aware of how Anna Nicole felt about 'Mommy Dearest' and Anna's feelings were clear regarding Virgie Arthur being anywhere near Dannielynn. Speculation that this is somehow about money for Howard is misguided and wrong. Howard has never made a TV or book deal even though he is the one who knew Anna Nicole best."
Paternity to be revealed Tuesday in Smith case
The world will finally learn the identity of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daddy on Tuesday, according to TMZ. Meanwhile, two of the former Playmate's diaries were made available to the press on Thursday and will be auctioned off along with a self portrait and several other pieces of Smith memorabilia. In one diary, Smith writes about her relationship with Guess CEO Paul Marciano, saying in June, 1992, " O my Gosh!! Paul Marsiano called today to see if I got his books also I'm gonna go to San Antonio to do photo shoot. I'm so excited!! I can't believe this. This could be it." And two months later, Smith writes of the elderly Howard Marshall, "Howard has been buying me som jewelry but he call me 15 or 20 times a day it drives me crazy. I love him but he aggravates me somtimes. I don't no what to do about Paul hes a strange guy. I hate men to want sex all the time." In the second diary, thought to be from 1994, Smith writes of Marshall, "Hes so very weak and fragile When I touch him Im afraid he might break. If Jesus desides to take him I dont no what I'll do. I love him so much it hurts me to site and watch him when hes hurting I just want to hold him touch him let him no how much I care." A Dallas-based auction house bought the journals from an anonymous German businessman and expects them to fetch as much as $100,000.

One doctor responsible for Anna Nicole's prescriptions
All eleven prescription drugs found in Anna Nicole Smith's hotel room on the day she died were authorized by one doctor. According to documents released by the medical examiner's office on Wednesday, more than 600 pills had been taken out of the prescription bottles - none of which was more than five weeks old. It is unknown whether the former Playmate took all of them, but about 450 of the pills were muscle relaxants. The prescriptions were all authorized by a Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend of Smith's. A spokesperson for the California Medical Board would not comment as to whether Eroshevich would be investigated, saying investigations of doctors are not public record.source
Anna Nicole on Law & Order May 8
The Law & Order episode loosely based on Anna Nicole Smith will air on May 8. Smith is played by Baywatch alum Kristy Swanson, who, according to the show's executive producer, is "unselfconscious about herself and her endowment. When people would bring a photo over for her to sign, she would say, 'I assume you want me to sign [on] my breasts.'"
Dannielynn's baby daddy to be revealed this week
Howard K. Stern was forced to drop his bid to block the release of the results of DNA tests that will reveal who the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby is. Stern's lawyer withdrew the motion after learning that a Bahamas court would reject his appeal. Three judges in the case advised that Stern had filed his challenge too late - waiting a week after submitting his own DNA sample before filing the appeal. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold a paternity hearing tomorrow, and we should all find out who Dannielynn's baby daddy is sometime this week.source

The cause of Anna Nicole Smith's death has been officially announced as "an accidental overdose with no other criminal element present," the Seminole police chief announced this morning. Methadone, anti-anxiety and weight-loss drugs, and vitamins were found in the former Playmate's system. After an in-depth investigation involving hundreds of hours of videotape and analysis of a laptop belonging to Howard K. Stern, the chief confirmed that no evidence was found indicating foul play. An inquest into the death of Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel is set to begin today in the Bahamas.source

Anna Nicole Died From Fatal Dose of Sleeping Medication and Infection
Anna Nicole Smith died with a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate in her system.
Taken from Star Magazine:
In a joint news gathering operation, the National Enquirer and Star magazine have solved the mystery of the former Playboy model's death and provide a detailed portrait of her final days.
The world exclusive details come days before Broward County, Fla., Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper will hold a press conference to announce the former Playboy Playmate's cause of death.
The Enquirer and Star have also learned that Anna Nicole had a raging blood infection. The infection was caused by an unsterilized needle and contributed to her death.
The infection was so serious, it would have killed her if she had not overdosed.
Contrary to speculation, tests show Anna Nicole did not have methadone or any other painkilling drug in her system at the time of her death.
The Enquirer learned that just before she left the Bahamas for Florida on February 5, three days before she died, Anna Nicole received an injection in her left buttock.
Tests did not reveal what that substance was.
"As she boarded the plane for Miami, Anna Nicole developed a painful abscess at the site of the injection," said a source with knowledge of the case. "The needle wasn't sterile. The pain kept getting worse as the abscess got larger and larger very quickly."
From Miami, Anna Nicole and her live-in lawyer Howard K. Stern traveled to Hollywood, Fla. The pain from the abscess became excruciating and Anna Nicole developed a high fever.
By the time she got to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino her fever was 105.
Anna Nicole, unaware that her blood was being poisoned by infection, had also developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus, which causes intestinal problems.
It was at this point that Anna Nicole — and her entourage — made a fatal mistake. She refused to go to a hospital, a decision that would have saved her life.
Instead, Anna's people gave her an ice bath to control the fever, administered the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by mouth and gave her an over-the-counter flu medicine.
As the needle-caused infection took over her body, she began vomiting, had severe diarrhea and could not urinate.
On February 6, a Tuesday, Anna spent the whole day in bed. She could not keep fluids down. She was becoming severely dehydrated.
On Wednesday, February 7, Anna seemed somewhat better, but she wasn't, the source said.
"She was still vomiting and suffering diarrhea," said the source. "Again, she spent the whole day in bed, as the abscess continued to grow. She was in such pain, she just wanted to sleep."
And that's when the final fatal mistake was made. Sometime overnight on February 7, Anna ingested the sleeping medication chloral hydrate. The drug is extremely potent. The dose was too much — and in fact it was a toxic level, the Enquirer and Star have learned exclusively. On Thursday, February 8, Anna never woke up.
A nurse found her unresponsive at about 1:30 p.m.
At 2:49 p.m., Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead.
Preliminary analysis indicated the cause of death was systemic sepsis syndrome, a lethal blood infection. It was caused by the abscess of the left buttock. Further investigation revealed the fatal level of chloral hydrate.
Chloral hydrate can cause depression of respiration, especially in a person who is already sick because of an infection and dehydration and it can cause death within a relatively short period of time.
Anna Nicole also had scarring from numerous injections she got in the buttocks.

Reported cause of death leaked
Following yesterday's announcement that the cause of Anna Nicole Smith's death would be announced at a press conference on Monday, some well-known tabloids claim to already have the scoop. Star mag and the National Enquirer report that a drug overdose and blood infection caused the former Playmate's demise. Sources told the rags that when Smith arrived at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, she was suffering from a 105 degree fever and quickly developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus. Smith allegedly began vomiting and suffering from severe diarrhea and dehydration, but instead of taking her to a hospital, her entourage gave her an ice bath, an antibiotic and an over-the-counter flu medication. After telling her staff she wanted to sleep, Smith was reportedly given a toxic dose of chloral hydrate, a sleep aid, and never woke up.
