With everybody and their brother (well, in this case, sister) giving their two cents on the abrupt and mysterious passing of Anna Nicole Smith, the circumstances surrounding her death seem to be getting more complicated. Bonnie Stern, the sister of Anna's partner, Howard K., claims that she spoke with her brother on the day of Anna's death and that he was not with Smith when she died, but knew that she had been very ill during the hours before her demise.
Bonnie Stern said her brother told her that Smith was running a fever of 105 degrees and that a nurse was "icing her down" earlier that day.
"When he left her, she was sleeping," Bonnie Stern said.
Bonnie Stern said that he had tried to get Smith to visit a doctor but Smith had refused because she was afraid that it would garner publicity. When news reached him that Smith was dead, she said, he had been gone only for about two hours.Bonnie also talked about Larry Birkhead, the former flame of Anna's who claims to be the rightful father of Dannielynn, saying:
"Larry Birkhead was not her boyfriend. There were times of some intimacy."I give it about three weeks before we can read all of this and more in her tell-all book.

ANNOYING people of the blog world, Howard K. Stern is not a KILLER. An enabler, maybe. Stop being so rude. He did just lose the love of his life. We have all been there before when someone we love is not doing so well but we are desperate to keep them happy so we make bad calls of judgment. ugggh.
Didnt you hear Bonnie, Ana didnt want to go to the doctor because of the public attention. How sad is that? Yeah, we all knew she was an abuser. So did her family. But where were they when she was alive? As far as I am concerned HKS loved her and stuck by her, throgh THICK and THICKER.

chrischris says:
a true medical professional would have taken her to the hospital or called a doctor to the room for a second opinion . either way it all looks fishy. Poor dannilynn.
Women do switch baby daddys all the time it sad but true
KittyLiterati says:
heama603, step away from the comment box. If bloggers are annoying, leave this particular one and go stand on your soapbox.
Unless you're Sugarpie, you can't possibly know the inner workings of Howard and Anna's relationship.
Kourtni says:
Seriously... who would leave to go cruise aroud on a yacht while their lover is really, amazingly sick?
sara says:
I completely agree with heama603... that guy has been with her for years. He is a lawyer (ie - has $' and is no K-Fed). Didn't care if she was fat or thin - he just stuck by her. Leave him alone and stop calling him a murderer.
chichi says:
His mother and sister never even saw the baby in person till ANS died, so they dont know squat. a fever of 105 is very serious in an adult and any doctor would put the person in the hospital immediately, not ice her down and play doctor with someone's life. Vultures.
kc says:
Stern stuck with her for the payoff, people. $$$$
The "love of his life" was seriously ill and he went shopping !!! Come on.
jean says:
if Anna Nicole Smith mother really love her,she will never bring this matter to court.She will let her daughter have her rest and peace. And she will grant her daughter's wishes.She should think that Anna suffered a lot when she was alive, and now that she's gone, stell the same.
For me, Howard have the right's for Anna's body cause he is the husband, not only that, they know each other for a very long time, before they got married.
FOR LARRY, FOR SURE HE JUST WANT MONEY.CAUSE HIS INTERVIEW IN ET TONIGHT.THEY SHOW HIM THE AGREEMENT THAT HE SIGN,ABOUT MONEY, AND HE DOES'NT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
To Howard, be strong for Anna.
Dawn says:
I still don't understand what the issue is? Anna bought a plot next to her son. That shows intent right? It seems to me everyone is in it for the money expect Howard. He stood by her through everything. You can tell he really loved her.. it was apperant in the ANS show he loved her. Leave them alone and give them some peace.
MiSS e says:
This Anna Nicole trial is crazy...if ur home watch it!!! I Love Howard K he is doing really good on the stand (lawyer) i know....but he is such a good & caring man tryin his hardest to get Anna to be buried with her son which i believe she would have wanted & i dont even know her!!! There just wastin this poor soul having her rott in the ME's office she need to be @ peace already its really SAD!!
BONNIE says:
HOW ABOUT DIGGING SOME DIRT UP ON LARRY BIRKHEAD AND MRS. VERGIE ARTHUR? THESE CREEPS CAN'T BE SANTS! LETS INVESTIGATE JUST HOW FIT THEY ARE TO HAVE DANNIELYNN. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE SHY A FEW BRICKS OF A FULL LOAD. JUST MAYBE THEY HIRED SOMEONE TO KILL ANNA AND HER SON? AND WHAT ROCK DID "FATHER" CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER? ANNA OBIVIOUSLY HATED THEM ALL. THAT'S GOTTA MEAN SOMETHING. HOWARD'S NAME IS ON THE BABY'S BIRTH CERTIFCATE AND IN THE EYES OF THE LAW , LAST TIME I CHECKED, THAT IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT. CASE CLOSED HE IS HER LEGAL FATHER. PERIOD. IT'S THE WAY ANNA WANTED IT. TEXAS DIDN'T WANT HER SO LET HOWARD BURY HER WHERE SHE WANTED TO BE- NEXT TO HER SON, DANIEL. HOWARD STUCK WITH HER TO THE END. WHERE WERE ALL THESE CREEPS WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE?
jean says:
Larry,Anna's mother and the best friend of Anna she say's,they plan this all. Larry record his conversation with Anna, to let everybody know that they have a relationship, why he has to do that? It means he has a plan.And his attorney said before, that if Larry win this case Anna will pay back what ever Larry spend.It's obvious that he just want Anna's money. ME, IF I'M FITING ABOUT MY DAUGHTER, SERIOUSLY, DEEPLY IN MY HEART I WILL NEVER THINK WHOSE PAYING OR WHAT EVER US LONG I GET MY CHILD. BUT ON LARRY'S CASE, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ANNA'S MONEY. Anna is rigth,she cannot trust anybody to have a relationship with her she always send to court. If this is Anna's plan about her daughter, i can't blame her.
And about Anna's drug's, will us a celebrity is not surprising to everybody, not only Anna using drugs in Hollywood. And Howard cannot stop what ever Anna wants.
Howard did this whole thing, fiting about Anna to court cause that's what Anna wants.

Pandora says:
Bonnie Stern: Please, please, please, help your brother; he is terribly upset and in my opinion not thinking well. Please watch him, talk to him, help him. I believe he truly loved Anna,and needs someone close who loves him. I watched the 'Anna' show, and I saw him watch her, saw him fall hard for her. He is your brother, be there for him. He is not going to do well when he loses that little girl, and he will lose her. He may not want to live after that - stay close, please!

Howard Stern showed his love for Anna by enabling her drug use, isolating her from family and friends, manipulating her and unfortunately bring out the very worst in her. No decent human being would exploit a legal loop-hole to withold an infant from it's biological parent. A person capable of behavior that is so outrageously cruel, immoral and vile is capable of anything. I don't think anyone will be the least surprized when Stern is found to be culpable in the deaths of both Daniel and Anna. It's sickening to watch him abuse the legal system to dodge Paternity testing. It's obvious that he is incapable of telling the difference between the sanctity of biological parenthood and contestable legal property. Stern isn't motivated by love. He's motivated by greed. He better hope he gets to hide in the Bahamas for the rest of his life. No matter where he goes he will be viewed with the contempt, suspicion and disgust he deserves.
Shelly says:
Howard K Stern is a good guy. I can't believe all the cruetly directed at him right now. It's scary. If you look at all the footage of Anna over the past several years, there he is, right there for her with that smile on his face of a guy who really loves a girl. He really cared about her. And her son! True Anna had a serious issue with pills, but I never heard anyone accusing Elvis girl friend when he dropped dead from his perscription realted problems. Anna was weakened by her additction, seriously heartbroken by the death of her son, mabye even suffering some post natal stuff after having a baby, really sick with the flu and on top of it the tabloids were draining the very life out of her. Not to mention, she was tryinlg to keep her cruddy ex boyfriend Larry away from sueing her and her creepy mother was selling vidios of herself on Dannys grave. ( Whom she didn't EVEN know) to the tabloids for tons of money. No wonder Anna died. She was down and there were vultures EVERYWHERE! Poor girl...but Howard K Stern was NOT ONE OF THEM. That guy was ga ga for her. He didn't kill her or Daniel and you can't blame him that they had perscription drug issues. Go to any AA meeting and they will tell you, people who do drugs need to get a grip. They need to win the battle over their problem. You can't blame Howard for that. I side with him 100%. It's a sad story but this guy is a victim as well. He's lost his love, her son and now he's got people accusing him of ridiculous things and trying to rip Dannylynn away from him to. It's horrible. Oh, and by the way, Zsa Zsa, you should ditch that nasty kook of a husband.
Laurie says:
Howard Stern is Uriah Heep. He's a guy who really loved a girl for her money. And he loved her money so much that he isolated her and enabled her drug use so that he could control her. But now that he's controlled Daniel and Anna right into the grave he's turned his attention to her helpless, infant daughter. Dannielyn is Howard's next meal ticket. Obviously he could care less about her welfare since he facilitated Anna's drug use throughout her pregnancy. As for Howard's photo-ops they are just another deception completely unsupported by his actions. Anna avoided her Mother and Larry,(not to mention her entire family and numerous well meaning friends)because that's what addicts do. They avoid tough love. These folks weren't willing to help Anna kill herself so that they could live off of her. They worked for a living. How could anyone say such cruel things about Howard? Maybe it's because Howard wrote the book on cruelty by:
1. Faciltating drug use that ultimately killed Daniel
2. Poisoning a drug addled woman against people who really loved her and may have been able to intervene
3. Alienating her from family and further compromising her mental health
4. Pretending to serve her while conspiring to control and exploit her
5. Denying an infant the love and protection of her biological father and family based on the abuse of a ridiculous law. Behavior that would never be tolerated in the US or most of the rest of the free world
6. Denying all biological family members their God given right to protect, love and nurture their Dannielynn.
And the list goes on and on.....
The morgue is full of women who were involved with men who claim to have loved them. We know better. Enabling self destructive behavior and life threatening drug use isn't love - it's murder. Dicken's didn't base the Character of Uriah Heep on a real person but that's only because he hadn't met Howard K. Stern
Jane says:
Anna's whole family and Larry Birkhead all agreed they couldn't get Anna off drugs,so why do they think Howard could. I do not for 1 minute think Howard was after her money.I believe he truly loved her.I also believe SHE was the one who made him do what SHE wanted not the other way around.
The media puts out what makes them make money, they have twisted so many facts for thier storys its unthinkable.Who are the real vultures here, think about it. Howard was there and lived Annas life, the reporters are all totally going by hear say and making up what they believe will make them more money. I wish they would leave poor Howard alone.I will pray for them all and I also pray the people who have drug poor Howard over the coals ,that they are never put in a position of losing 2 loved ones in such a short period of time,and then accused of killing them, that is unthinkable to me, I do not know how poor Howard has held up as long as he has.and Just for the record maybe Larry Birkhead is the father of danilynne, but it has not been proven yet. I do think he seems like a nice compassinate man.I pray the decision to bury Anna next to Daniel will be upheld.Mrs Arthur is supposed to be a religiuos person, doesn't she know Annas spirit will be with her and she can visit her anytime she would like without going to the grave site.Everyone should be happy Anna is with Daniel and her wishes to be buried next to him came through.
frannie says:
Yes, Bonnie has a lot to say especially when it comes to trying to defend her killer brother . She showed her ass at the funeral reception when she yelled at Vergie Arthur , Bonnie is just another scum bag looking for money . She didn't even want to hold the baby but she did for publicity . I have not seen the grandparents hold her (Danielynn) for I am sure they are so embarrassed at what the son has become , a man who mooches off of a drugged up woman and him the enabler of the drugs , he was present when her son died in the hospital and Daniel (the son) had bruises on his body so what happened Howard did you and Daniel get into a confrontation . Daniel had talked to a investigator for he was worried about the trash his mother was running with including Howard K. Sterns and then all of the sudden he comes up dead .JUST LIKE ANNA! Strange don't we all think . If he walks out of this investigation then all of the seminole ,Forida police and M.E. have been bought off . Oh shit that is right his bitch of an attorney Krista Barf said last night Howard got no money from any Media for selling the rights to the funeral etc .. WEll folks have you heard about depositing money into someone elses account until this is all blown over or into another country so it cannot be traced , He is wicked and knows what he can get away with but I am hoping the F.B.I. Gets involved with this because there is not one person in that country that can be trusted .
Dee says:
Tacky Bonnie Stern wants to insure Anna's estate stays in the family. Just another money grubber jumping on the bandwagon. Her sleazy brother is getting caught in lie after lie regarding his involvement in Anna's death. Danny's inquest was coming up. Is it possible he would not want Anna to testify?
Trish says:
Bonnie, I adore you. Howard as well. Your parents have wonderful children and should be proud. Howard will be fine. He has done nothing wrong. All he has ever done was love Anna Nicole and her son. He knew there was a chance the baby girl was not his, but was trying to honor Anna's wishes she wanted Howard to raise that child. Best of luck Howard. My prayers are with you. All of those with such hateful comments, do you know any of these people, personally?? I think not.

To all the people who think Howard K Stern is innocent - DO SOME RESEARCH. I've done a LOT of research on this case with a completely open mind (am not an anna nicole fan by the way) and the evidence supporting the murder claims is overwhelming. If people actually got some proper background information on this, it would quickly become clear how guilty he is. The truth WILL come out and howard k stern WILL pay the price for double murder.
