Anna Nicole Smith, The Investigation #3

When I see the first lawsuit, I'll believe it.

O.J. would have been filthy rich if this were that easy. I can't begin to count the number of people who "speculated" that he was guilty and continue to do so.

The threat would have resounded more if Wood left out bloggers. After reading that one, I had to laugh. How many people log on from work computers these days or use proxies and dynamic IP's? Does this lawyer have any clue what it would take to even PROVE a particular individual used the "M" word? Circumstantial evidence is just that, circumstantial. Good luck with that.

Of equal proportions, Virgie should get on the libel bandwagon as well. Lord knows how damaging the publically made Stern-camp comments and that "Mommy Dearest" video was to her. I'd say she has more then equal grounds if Lin Wood does. She was utterly destroyed publically from the very beginning courtesy of ET, Stern and Stern supporters who CONTINUE to slander her everyday.

This is getting pathetically ridiculous now. Just more ways to make money if you ask me.

One last point: Under the law, Stern does not officially become an Executor until the Will is filed for probate. I hate when lawyers who know better throw out statements without the legal disclaimers.

Welcome SundayGardener

I do agree that ANS and HKS had some ulterior motive other than Birkhead to run to Bahamas. Especially leaving ANS's rock (Daniel) behind.

hey, Owl! Hope you are feeling better today.

Is tomorrow the day they announce Dannylynn’s father?

I am so far behind on reading the updates.

Definitely those two!

Toxicology Positive Results for Vickie Lynn Marshall

Case # BME2007- 0223

Specimen

Gastric Contents

ParentDrug/Compound

Topiramate (Topamax)

Metabolites

Meprobamate

Concentration/Result

positive - 0.245mg total

But cannot find any place else in ANS autopsy report (ex. tests on bile, urine., or blood) where Topiramate /Topamax was found.

Question to the medical people out there:

Would it be normal to find the metabolite of Topirmate/Topamax - Meprobarnate in the gastric contents still without it being found in blood, bile, or urine?

I'm not sure I trust TMZ completely! I know I don't trust Harvey Levin, and it's obvious he's in HKS' pocket. I read that Levin accused Marsha Clark of entering O.J. Simpson's residence before a search warrant was issued, and he was wrong. He blamed someone else for his getting the info wrong.

There's obviously a lot we don't know going on behind the scene of all this. I can't imagine why TMZ and other media shows would support HKS when the evidence clearly does not support their positions.

There are consequences to stopping many of them abruptly.

We talked about the Methadone and sudden detox symptoms.

Here is something I posted:

http://www.steadyhealth.com/How_long_do_methadone_withdrawal_symptoms_last_and_what_they_t80438.html

This is info from someone who went through it:

METHADONE—
Methadone is considered more difficult to get off, because the withdrawal symptoms are more difficult than even heroin. The reason for this is because of the synthetic opiates’ storage in your tissue—and more importantly, the half-life of Methadone is (on average) 25 hours (13-47 hours), with peak absorption in 4 hours. However, Methadone lasts for approximately 25 hours for the average patient, BUT there are a few of us who have taken it every 8 hours to reduce the amount of Methadone needed (for pain management), by reducing the zig-zag effect of depleting and replenishment of Methadone within our tissues.

As a result, Methadone patients may not experience many withdrawal symptoms for 24-48 hours after their last dose. [Everyone is different]. After 48 hours, the symptoms of withdrawal will peak within 7-10 days and begin to lessen over the next 7-14 days; however, it depends on a number of variables: how long the patient was taking Methadone; the amount the patient was taking; how quickly the patient has chosen (or been forced) to detox; what the last amount—with respect to the patient’s peak dosage—was; a person’s weight (especially if the patient has experienced quick weight gain, because more Methadone will be stored in your tissues with less blood absorption); age; etc.

The symptoms of withdrawal, and the severity of the symptoms, depend on the variables above; but, and most importantly, it depends on the patients state-of-mind and preparation for detoxification. Most patients do not realize that there are two types of cravings—mental addiction and physical dependency. If a patient is on the Methadone for medicinal reasons, it will be easier for the patient to recover from the withdrawal symptoms, but if the patient has a mental addiction, the patient will be faced with craving to withdraw and take the Methadone as an out. Fortunately, Methadone does not have the same level of euphoria as do other chemical compounds, but nonetheless, it is still significant enough in the patient’s mind that it may not matter the chemical side.

Before covering the symptoms of withdrawal, it is important to point out one last key component of Methadone—in that, it mimics the level of peptides—such as, Endorphins, Enkephalines, and Dynorphins, which causes the brain to assume that your ARTIFICIAL level of good feeling is required for normal life functioning. As a result, the most difficult withdrawal is a MENTAL withdrawal that your brain feels you need in order to survive. This is affectionately referred to as “cravings.” These cravings WILL FORCE most patients into taking Methadone, because the cravings are too intense; hence, most professionals recommend that you seek professional help (detoxification center), so that they may monitor you for your health and to give you the support needed to NOT GIVE IN to the CRAVINGS! (IMPORTANT NOTE: I almost died coming off of my Methadone too quickly, because I wanted to show myself that I could do it as long as I WANTED to. I was wrong! I seized, and I was VERY lucky that my family was with me at the time, because the doctors had to resuscitate me and push Methadone into me to prevent an immanent heart attack. Don’t be foolish, we know you are mentally strong, why else would you be interested in reading this? Be alive to live your life after this necessary evil—PLEASE!!!)

So, what are the symptoms? Here you go! Sneezing, yawning, tearing of eyes, runny nose, excessive perspiration (cold sweats and hot sweats, especially at night), fever, dilated pupils, abdominal cramps, nausea, body aches, tremors, irritability, not to be morbid, but even death in extreme cases. Finally, sleep is your best friend during withdrawals, BUT you will find it next to impossible to sleep. I recommend taking 25-50 mg of Dyphenhydramine (Benadryl), but NOTHING ELSE! You don’t want to exchange one craving today with another craving in two months, once you are beginning to see the other side of the tunnel. (IMPORTANT: Benadryl SHOULD NEVER BE ingested in amounts greater than 50 mg every 4-6 hours, and no more than 8 pills per 24 hours, because of severe respiratory concerns. Muscle relaxants can assist (for many reasons), but again—be reasonable; DRINK lots of WATER; ensure that you get your electrolytes (banana a day, Gatorade); Ensure or Boost are excellent meal replacements, because you will lose your appetite; and make certain that you take care of your hygiene (shower, brush your teeth, put on comfortable, but NOT bedtime clothes for mental effectiveness). Lastly, there are medications (Clonidine, for example) that MAY significantly assist you while you detoxify, but reports of significant exhaustion and tiredness may make it worse, not to mention the fact that it will lower your blood pressure. I have chosen not to go this route, because the ‘cravings’ are psychological and I can beat it in my mind—‘mind over matter.’

Why? Did you blatantly call Stern a murderer? Saying you think it’s possible vs. saying you are 100% sure he did it, are two entirely different things. I wouldn’t worry about it. ;)

Candy Spelling Counsels Larry Birkhead

Tori Spelling

With the DNA results in the Anna Nicole Smith paternity case set to be revealed tomorrow, Candy Spelling, one of Hollywood's most noTORIous mothers, has come exclusively to TMZ to offer Larry Birkhead advice on everything from handling fame, to mitigating exorbitant lawyer fees -- even personal grooming!

Check out Candy's letter.

Dear Larry:

As the court appearance that will change your life approaches, I am stepping into my role as a celebrity-by-association to share some experiences with you.

1) The hair, Larry: Most of the time, your hair looks great, and I'm sure you spend a lot of time getting it right. Just be warned that you might look good every day for a month. But the one day you leave in a hurry and don't pay enough attention, or you get a little wild with an untested new style -- photos will be taken that will haunt you forever.

2) Fans/autograph seekers: Hollywood lives in fear of being yesterday's celebrity and ending up with an autograph languishing on eBay for days with no bids. If people want many copies, if they don't want you to personalize it, and/or they ask for Anna Nicole's name as part of your signature, nicely decline. If you slip and do see your autograph on sale, have a good friend bid more than 99 cents to buy it.

3) The lawyers: You've already found out that you have turned from man to cash machine. Lawyers aren't the only ones who will see you that way, especially if you are Dannielynn's biological father. The good news is that someone who presents you with a bill for $620,492.84 must think you have a good case. The bad news is that you will need more lawyers to fight the legal bills. My advice: Negotiate in advance, and put in a clause against expenses for lawyers, spouses, meals or laundry.

I wish you success in court on Tuesday, but beware: There's never enough preparation for "celebrity." I'll never get used to tour buses and cameras outside my house every day, reporters analyzing my grocery choices, and bloggers pretending to know more about my family than I do; but I do have a good life. Yours can be, too. Just remember that celebrity and/or money mean that nothing will ever be the same -- and act accordingly.

All the best,

Candy Spelling

Thank you SP. Actually, sitting on the computer is my bonus break :)

Chuckling @ ACLU comment!

TMZ is chowarding!

Puting up that piece of crap.

interesting - note the word FUTURE:

It's a cease and desist warning he has to do first so that if he ever did go to court, he has to show that he asked it to stop and someone maliciously pursued that course anyway. Due process and all, ya know the routine by now, I'm sure. ;)

Wonder what Larry agreed to with HKS, if HKS agreed not to continue his custody fight with LB, if LB is proven the father?
