But aren't those things on tape? I'm sure we'll be hearing the call soon. Isn't that what The Smoking Gun website is good for? Britney reportedly is on a diet of wine, cigarettes and diet pills. What ever happened to good old breastfeeding for weight management (and good infant nutrition)? But not if your drinking & smoking. Jeesh.

Smith's Lawyer Says He's Newborn's Dad Sep 26, 11:28 PM (ET) NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - A lawyer for Anna Nicole Smith said Tuesday that he was the father of the reality TV star's newborn girl, who has been the couple's one "ray of hope" as they have grieved the death of her 20-year-old son in the Bahamas. Howard K. Stern, who was with the family in the hospital the night that Daniel Smith died, told CNN's "Larry King Live" they had named their daughter Dannie Lynn Hope. "Right now we have to somehow get through what we're going through," he said. "And I'll tell you, our baby is the one ray of hope." Daniel Smith, 20, died Sept. 10 while visiting his mother as she recuperated from giving birth three days earlier. Authorities have said there was no sign of suicide or foul play, and they were awaiting toxicology results to determine the cause of death. "We're still waiting to find out what the cause is," Stern said. "We also now have an indication that there may have been other prescriptive medication in his system." Stern said he and Anna Nicole Smith planned to stay in the Bahamas long term. She wanted to get away from the media and to start a new life and give her daughter a chance to live a normal life, said Stern, who described himself as a "proud father." He said Anna Nicole Smith was having a difficult time. "It's been very rough," he said, adding: "She said that she didn't want to trade out children, meaning she didn't want one to be born and another to die."

NORM : Monarch makes merry at Light Having a royal time Sunday at Light nightclub at Bellagio was King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, who was under the watchful eye of heavy security. The longtime monarch happened to visit the popular club on "Gold Digger night," when fake money is handed out to VIPs. That caused a ripple of chuckles among all of the king's men. Horrors! The producers of "Riverdance" and horror film creator Wes Craven are pitching a horror magic show in Las Vegas, according to a published report. Dublin producers John McColgan and Moya Doherty have talked to a major venue in Las Vegas about bringing the mixture of magic and horror, called "Magick Macabre," here by 2008 or 2009. In March, Craven, the creator and director of horror classics "The Hills Have Eyes," "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Scream," made it clear he was sticking with his strength in writing a story for the show. "Lots of people die, and blood will fly," he told a trade publication. The show, possibly featuring an Irish magician, would be Craven's first work for stage. THE SCENE AND HEARD Plans are being formalized for Siegfried & Roy's Walk of Stars induction to be held Oct. 3, Roy's 62nd birthday. ... Actress Vivica Fox and her "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Nick Kosovich, will guest star Thursday in "Jubilee," the 25th anniversary of the Bally's production. She will be wearing an extravagant showgirl costume. ... They're high-fiving at the Wynn Las Vegas after Oprah Winfrey announced that the Wynn was the winner of "favorite bed and pillow" of her cross-country trip with gal pal Gayle King. SIGHTINGS Eva Longoria of "Desperate Housewives," riding her beau, San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker, through the MGM Grand casino at 4 a.m. Monday, after leaping onto him from the front, with her legs wrapped around his waist. ... George Clooney, creating quite a stir in the secretarial ranks when word got out that he was shooting a scene for "Ocean's Thirteen" on the loading docks at the Riviera last week. ... Geoffrey Rush and Drew Carey, in separate parties at the 7:30 p.m. performance Saturday of "Love" at The Mirage. ... Former baseball slugger David Justice, checking out the Palms' ghostbar on Saturday. Tom Cruise, starting out at $200-a-hand and upping it to $500 during his stay on the private tables Saturday night at The Mirage. When he was done, he pushed his $300 in winnings over to the dealers. ... Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins, in the crowd Saturday and backstage at "Fantasy," the adult revue at the Luxor. THE PUNCH LINE "ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars' was on last night. Apparently, the object is to try and find the star." -- Comedian Alex Kaseberg

I've said from the get-go that Howard was that baby's daddy. But, then again, knowing how Howard is about protecting Anna Nicole, he could be saying this to get the hounds off.

Police: T.O. tried to kill himself By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer September 27, 2006 DALLAS (AP) -- Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened. A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV. The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said. The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes."' Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting. Owens is recovering from a broken right hand he hurt a week ago Sunday. He had an operation the next day to have a plate screwed in, enabling the bone to heal without being further injured. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill. The Cowboys were off this past weekend and Owens was back at practice Tuesday, although he worked out on his own. Parcells said Owens' hand was improving and he was expected back on the practice field Wednesday. Owens chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room Tuesday afternoon and seemed fine. Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it. When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill -- who mostly deals with troubled players -- said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems. Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference later Wednesday, did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released. Owens' publicist and agent, and the Cowboys, did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press. No teammates or Cowboys officials were seen entering the hospital late Tuesday.

I'm thinking that TO is going to come out saying that the friend was mistaken and it isn't true. He'll stick to the allergic reaction to the pills.

You don't get your stomach pumped for an allergic reaction. And just from my own personal experience, it doesn't take over a week of using the pain medicine for the reaction to occur.

The death of Anna's son was so sad and stunning but the more I see pictures of him the more frail and unwell he appears...? Is this something I"m just noticing in hindsight? I wonder if it is something anyone else noticed or if there was knowledge of an illness besides what's been said about his heart. Perhaps next to her anyone would look pale and wan but it's possible he was not in the best of health... This death is not just strange it's tragic if it turns out it could have been prevented.

In the interest of fair reporting, Terrell Owens has said that he was not attempting suicide. If that is true, I wonder where those 30-something pills went.

He said he put them in a drawer. Why a person would put some of them in a drawer is beyond me, but hey, I've done some weird things too.

Speaking of overdosing ... it looks like that's what caused Anna Nicole Smith's son to go into cardiac dysrythmia. People reports that the official cause of death of Daniel Smith was a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro. Pathologist Cyrl Wecht said the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia. He received the reports today.

Anna Nicole's ex says he's baby's father, lawyer's lying Associated Press NEW YORK — Photographer Larry Birkhead, a former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith, tells Us Weekly magazine that, no matter what a national TV audience was told Tuesday night, he's the real father of the reality TV star's newborn girl. And he's seeking a DNA test to prove it. Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, told CNN's Larry King Live on Tuesday that he is the "proud father" of the girl, Dannie Ray Hope, born Sept. 7, and he plans to marry Smith "at some point." "Right now we have to somehow get through what we're going through," said Stern, referring to the Sept. 10 death of Smith's son, Daniel Smith. The 20-year-old Smith died of unknown causes at his mother's hospital bedside in the Bahamas. "And I'll tell you, our baby is the one ray of hope," Stern said. In an interview on the magazine's Web site, Birkhead calls Stern's remarks "laughable." "I am not surprised he would say this but I am laughing at it," he says. "Larry King didn't even believe Howard." Birkhead says science can settle the matter. "I have asked for a DNA test and I welcome it," he says. He's confident about what the results would be, saying, "I know I am the father of the child. I look forward to having a relationship with my new daughter." Stern did not immediately respond to a call by the Associated Press on Wednesday. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/entertainment/4219011.html

Methadone is often prescribed for people coming off of heroine addiction. And some addicts are prescribed anti-depressants to handle (I think) the dopamine levels in certain areas of the brain that are related to addiction.

I watched the new conference with TO. He seemed sincere to me and I'll just choose to belive him. However, everyone, I thought knew that you don't take prescription drugs out of their original bottles. I believe he said he put the pain pill (out of the bottle) in his night stand drawer. Well, I can see that makes them "handy", but I hope he learned his lesson!

Danni RAY (of) HOPE... wow that is a POWERFUL name for this child. I 'hope' this child has the same wonderful relationship with Anna that Daniel did... But well, I am a bit worried... Grieving mother, paternity questionable, post-partum depression, bitterness... If Anna is able to bond with this child without bringing too much baggage into the relationship, (and who could blame her?) that would be a wonderful miracle. I won't say more cuz I don't want to get slammed.
