Howard K Stern and Anna Nicole Smith's doctors have been charged with felony counts for supplying her drugs: Link Snip: Stern and doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich were each charged with three felony counts of conspiracy and several other charges of fraudulent prescriptions. Prosecutors said the doctors gave the drugs - including opiates and sedatives - to Stern, who then gave them to Smith. The prescriptions were issued between June 2004 and January 2007, just weeks before Smith's death. "These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement.

That sure took a long time! But quite appropriate (the ANS charges)

This really got me: The quantity was staggering. More than 600 pills - including about 450 muscle relaxants - were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old. Ultimately, it was a syrup - the powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate - blamed with tipping the balance in the toxic mix of drugs and causing her death.

That is so sad. I watched Anna Nicole's show and she always seemed so lost. First losing her son like that, then following soon after...she didn't have the right people looking out for her, and some people just need that in this world.

wow! that is an incredible amount of pills! well, my 19 year old son won't be bringing a girl home! GAL, same here. A funny story, my parents had a home in Galveston. We would have tons of people down there. Many times one of my dad's divorce friends would bring a date, but my mom would never let them sleep in the same room. Now these were adults ages 40 and up, but she would hold firm. She told them that my brother and I and our friends weren't allowed to have our dates sleep with us, and she wasn't going to be a hypocrite and say it was ok just cause they were older. I always respected her for not having two sets of rules.

That's a great story, Texannie ROFL!! Your mom sounds like a pistol. My parents were never in our faces about it, and my younger sister ALWAYS pushed the limit by having boyfriends stay over when she was in her twenties. But then again she's never been known to show respect to anyone. But my younger brother and his fiancee lived with my parents for a couple of years prior to their marriage (they were in college) and they slept in separate rooms the entire time. Out of respect for my parents, not because they demanded it. When Colossus and I stayed at my parents house the summer before our wedding, my younger sister called afterward and asked mom whether we had slept in the same room (expecting to be able to smirk about it). Mom told her that not only did we not sleep in the same room, the subject never even came up. Of course Colossus and I were both over 40 at the time (come to think of it we still are LOL).

Are you sure you aren't suthern', GAL?! LOL Good lord, I remember the first time, we slept in my childhood bed after we were married. I was so uncomfortable. My brother and his wife lived with my parents for a while after they got married and she got pregnant. All my friends and I were like 'you had sex in his bed??!!' LOL My mom was definitely not prudish at all. She and my dad had an amazing love life. They weren't gross or anything, but we definitely grew up knowing that they were very passionate for each other.

ATTENTION PURPLEHEADZ: Mr. Purple himself, Prince, will be on Leno March 25-27. Yes, three days in a row. He'll be on promoting his two new albums "Lotus Flower" and "MPLSound," both available March 29 exclusively from Target. I can't stand Leno, but he'll have one more viewer on those three nights ...

It doesnt have anything to do with whether your child respects you or not. It is about what is acceptable to a parent in their house and I dont have a problem with my son and his girlfriend of over a year sleeping in my house. It isnt like he brings one night stands over, and that he would never do. He was dating her for many many months before he asked if she could sleep over. I am pretty comfortable with my values.

I agree with Maris. I don't think it is disrespectful at all if all parties are comfortable with it. <55> As for Prince, I like a lot of his music, but I have a hard time watching him. LOL!

I think GAL meant respect for her parents' values. I know that's what I meant.

I think whatever your parent's values and rules are, they have got to be respected in their house.

When my sis and her fiance stayed with me (I am 6 years older than her), I made them sleep in separate rooms. I think I got a little control happy, though. I don't think the thought of them possibly having sex in my house ever bugged me, I just wanted to have a rule in my new house that they had to follow. Luckily no one complained and all were happy. Well, I assume they stayed in their separate rooms. I tend to be a heavy sleeper.

I'm of the same mind as Maris on the sleeping over thing. I could care less about a piece of paper supplied by the government when it comes to sex. That said, I would expect others to respect the rules of the owners of the house.

on the flip side of this, my brother married at 33 and his fiancee was 31. She was a virgin. (not sure about him, but I don't think so). The sexual tension between them was so palatable that even my mom was suggesting they should just go ahead and sleep together! LOL

LOL, well at the time I was a new mom and I was playing a mom and I was going to exhert my parental authority over my sister, you know, as practice. However, her and her new boyfriend are flying in Saturday, probably staying at my Grandma's who is Prudence Prudington. However, Sis has always gotten away with MURDER there. I wonder if Gramma lets them stay in the same room. Bet she does. She'd never have let me or older sis or Bro do that. We'll see, stay tuned. LOL Maybe I'll say they can stay with me, then make Sis sleep in with my DD's and her BF stay in the other room....lol. No, I won't. Don't know him well enough to have him stay in the same house as me and my kids....but it would be funny.

Back to Hollywood...I heard that Patrick Swayze is absolutely po'd about the latest reports on his impending death and claims to be doing fine. I hope it's true anyway.

He might be PO'd, but I have a hard time believing those stories aren't true. Those pictures were really sad and, while it's valiant that he's willing to fight, and while it's in bad taste to say he's in the final days...I mean...come on.

I can't imagine what reading that you are on death's door and you have no hope for recovery can do to your morale!

One of my son's best friends is a friend of Patrick's. He's worked on some music with him for a movie and he and his girlfriend went to the ranch for Patrick's wedding renewal ceremony. He said that Patrick looked so much better than in his pictures. He is skinnier but he said that it was not at all like the shots you see in the mags. He also said that Patrick's spirit is so high and there was so much joy and happiness at the ceremony. I thought I'd pass that along.

Oh, I agree Tish, but because he's in his last days, they should respect his privacy and leave him alone. By "doing fine" I meant he's still in a fighting spirit and standing up for himself rather than being too weak and depressed to speak up.
