There seems to be an eyewitness to Anna Nicole Smith's use of drugs during her pregnancy. In sworn sealed court documents filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Laura Payne alleges that she actually administered pills to the expectant mother from a bottle marked "Methadone" and that she "personally observed" Anna Nicole taking "a rather high dose of Xanax" around the same time, May 2006.
Not so coincidentally, Anna Nicole's dead son Daniel Smith is alleged to have imbibed a lethal combination of methadone, in addition to prescribed antidepressants. This leads some to wonder if his mother's lifestyle contributed to Daniel's demise. An autopsy showed his system had eight times the lethal dose of drugs.
Meanwhile, Anna Nicole in an e-mail to Payne talked of her money woes. "I can't work now so im pretty much f....d for a bit!...sure counting on the court to give me my money...cause all I want to do is move from this house and get a better one and just start over!...and to boot ive gained 30 pounds im horrified!"
Well, the former stripper and widow of an 89 year old billionaIre cadaver got paid $600,000 for the last photos of her with Daniel, then collected close to a $1 million for the bogus "wedding ceremony" to her creepy personal lawyer, Howard K. Stern, and now "Entertainment Tonight" is running an exclusive 2 night interview with the grieving mother with promises of exclusive delivery room footage of Anna Nicole birthing her daughter by unknown paternity. That should be worth another 200 grand, at least. Our feelings of deep sympathy on her unfathomable loss always get screwed up by the money thing. But cashing in on tragedy seems to be a national pastime. Miss Smith, when you get the half billion from your late octagenarian's estate,may we suggest a crash course in Miss Manners as your first expenditure.
BLONDE AMBITION AND RYAN PHILLIPPE
Mr. Reese Witherspoon's inamorata, Australian actress Abbie Cornish, is not a stranger to on set romances. Her former co-stars say the blonde has a history of cozying up to important people who can help her career. Before canoodling wth Ryan Phillippe in Austin, the Down Under gal spent much time on The Golden Age set playing footsies and other things wth director Shekhae Kapur.
What's up with men in Hollywood marriages? Both of the lovely Audrey Hepburn's husbands were serial cheaters, Christie Brinkley can't seem to marry a faithful, adoring hubby, and the fabulous British actress Emma Thompson couldn't keep her man on his side of the bed. If men are from Mars and women from Venus, we wonder how it works in the other galaxies. We've got a call in to Tom Cruise.
SPEAKING OF CONQUESTS...
A recent bedmate of Entourage's Jeremy Piven says that the guy who plays an agent who gets 10 percent from his clients can only give ten percent to his conquests in the sack. The gal goes on to hit the actor below the belt by observing: "Unfortunately, it was not even fun size."
Holy cow! Does this mean that size really does count?!!
HOLLYWOOD QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Which hunky Hollywood star likes to go cruising for bulldogs? No, not the fat, slobbering canine kind. But short, paunchy men with shaved heads and handlebar mustaches.
In the gay world, this star is known as a daddy chaser.
SILLY FACT OF THE DAY
Bonanza's Big Daddy Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator.
No word on how soon the reptile croaked from overdosing on ham.
DUH...
It is illegal to carry ice cream in your pocket in Kentucky.

NAOMI CAMPBELL KO's DRUG COUNSELOR
Superthug supermodel Naomi Campbell has been arrested yet again for another alleged assault. The British network Sky News and The Sun of Lonndon reported the ugly tempered, venomous vixen attacked her drug counselor in London while taking the drug tests required to renew her visa to work in the U.S.
The woman claims she was attacked and scratched all over the face in a Westminster house by the adrenaline laced mannequin. Police arrested Campbell at 1:20 pm for an alleged assault and took her to the central London police station.
The pugilistic diva has a history of being accused of assault by at least six other people who have worked for her as assistants or maids. A few required stitches and/or hospitalization.
It's high time this sick superbitch got booked for an even grudge match. We suggest a pay-per-view slugfest with her ex-boyfriend Mike Tyson, gloves off, of course. If this karmic booomerang doesn't come off, perhaps a 1 to 5 year stretch in a women's prison might be in order. We'll see whose bitch this bitch will be...Until then would someone please put this domestic batterer in a cage strewn with Ritalin?!!
TOMKAT WEDDING RUSE?
While the paparazzi assemble outside George Clooney's Italian villa on Lake Como for the November 18 nuptials of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, The New York Post's Cindy Adams claims to have the inside scoop: the duo is actually tying the knot at Rome's Hassler Hotel atop the Spanish Steps.
Take your choice: camp out at beautiful Lake Como or at the historic, scenic hilltop location in Rome. We'd rather stay in Malibu and join the celebrity protesters Halle Berry, Darryl Hannah, Cindy Crawford, Ted Danson, Jane Seymour and Pierce Brosnan in their demonstration against a proposed 13-story floating natural gas terminal scheduled to be built off our shoreline. Besides the bevy of celebrities, fans, paparazzi and television networks from around the globe that mobbed Surfrider Beach in Malibu last Sunday, other famous Malibu residents Barbra Streisand, Cher, Jamie Lee Curtis, Danny DeVito, Tom Hanks, Olivia Newton-John and Martin Sheen have signed a letter opposing the terminal. The document says "it poses a significant and potentially irreversible negative impact to our coast, our environment and to the health and safety of our families..." Talk about a cause celebre!
SURPRISE: PARIS HILTON FOR SALE TO HIGHEST BIDDER
Wanna bag Paris Hilton for New Year's Eve? Well, for a mere $100,000, plus an expense account and a private jet, the celebutante will host a soiree in your honor in either Los Angeles, New York or Miami.
We're told Paris will not stay for more than 10 minutes, proving that amazingly there are certain occasions when the heirhead can count to 10!!
IS SIR PAUL NOT SIR GALAHAD AFTER ALL?
In the bitter divorce between Paul McCartney and his second wife Heather Mills, many were stunned last week by allegations that the 64 year old mild mannered rock god abused his amputee wife by not letting her use a bedpan so she wouldn't have to crawl in the middle of the night to the bathroom. She asserts he didn't want t feel like he lived in an old age home. Nobody believed such behavior possible from Sir Paul. Some upper crust British dame even sniffed: "If it's true, I must say I'd make this one exception to advocate domestic abuse." (Not funny, lady!!)
Well, get ready for your smug, righteous world to be rocked! There are allegations that the former Beatle beat up his first wife Linda. The UK tabloid Daily Mail claims that "Sir Paul McCartney is attempting to block 20 hours of alleged taped revelations from his first wife, said to contain intimate disclosures of the marriage that cast an alternative light on his 29 year marriage to the former Linda Eastman, from being used in his current divorce battle."
Say it ain't so, Paul!! Though his current wife is no saint and has been besmirched in various publications as a sociopathic liar who has prostitution in her earlier, colorful history, it doesn't mean anyone can rush to judgement based on the public face of a beloved celebrity. Mills alleges that McCartney was violent to her on four separate occasions. Batterers can be the most charming people in the world. After all they convince adult women to stick around because it will never happen again. Who knows the truth? But let IT will out.
GUESS WHO?
A helpful quick, easy and cheap idea for a Halloween costume is being proferred by the CityRag blog: "Celebrity Baby Smuggler". Guess the phony British accent on Oprah didn't convince everyone.
ELVIS DETHRONED
Kurt Cobain and not Elvis Presley is now the KING of the top-earning dead celebrity club. The grunge rocker earned $50 million in the last year while the original rock god earned a mere $42. Rounding out the Top Five dead celeb earners are "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz at $35 million, Beatle John Lennon at $24 million and long deceased physicist Albert Einstein at $20 million, mostly from the lucrative "Baby Einstein" educational videos.
Wanna leave an estate for your family that keeps giving? Get famous before you croak. Now that's estate planning at it's best!!

MADONNA'S BABY DADDY CRIES FOUL
After an international ping pong match between new adoptive mom Madonna, the world press and outraged international adoption rights groups, Babydonna now has another volley to return. Seems Yohane Banda, the birth dad of 13-month old David, now claims he wasn't fully informed that he was relinquishing legal custody of his child permanently. "I am just realizing the meaning of 'adoption'," the illiterate Banda told the press. "If we were told she wants to take the baby as her own, we would not have consented, because I see no reason I should give up my son." However, the Malawi farmer added that he does not want his son returned to the orphanage.
Fear not concerned citizens of the world! It has just been announced that Madonna will explain all to us Oct. 25th through the benevolent god of talk shows, Oprah Winfrey. We'd like to ask the Material Girl, known in certain circles as Esther, a few questions of our own. (1) With your iconoclastic view of the Catholic Church and its foibles, how could you take a missionary position in regard to your $3 donation to Malawi schools & orphanages, stipulating that teaching Kabbalah to kids is a condition for the gift? (2) Is it true that you were set to adopt a California orphan until a dinner with Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt convinced you to adopt an African tot? (3) Have you consulted Mia Farrow who began adopting Third World and disabled tots in the 60's and ended up with 13 children? (4) Is channeling entertainer extraordinaire and ex-patriate (like yourself) Josephine Baker on your "must do" list? Baker fled racism in '20s America to find fame & glory in Paris dancing with only bananas around her waist. She went on to adopt 12 children of different ethnicities which she called her Rainbow Tribe to prove that different races could live in harmony. Viva adoptive show biz parents!!
ANNA NICOLE'S SON BURIED ON DAY 39
A cemetery in the Bahamas was the scene last Thursday afternoon for tragic Daniel Smith's burial. He was laid to rest in a mahogany casket wearing his favorite trucker cap and jeans. His mother ANNA NICOLE SMITH wore a couture mourner's outfit custom-made by the same designer who made her faux wedding gown. In the obscenely long period between Daniel's death from a drug overdose, his mother: (1) sold the last known photos of her son with his new baby sister for $600,000, (2) staged a fake wedding with her long time personal lawyer, claiming that he and not photographer Larry Birkhead is the baby's daddy. She sold those photos for close to a $1 million, (3) allegedly bribed the Bahamian government to fast track her citizenship application to avoid being legally forced to submit to paternity tests. Anna Nicole was heard screaming at Daniel's funeral: "I don't want a husband, I want my son!"
Here's a question we'd like to ask: Daniel took 7 times the prescribed dosage for both Zoloft and Methadone. He was depressed, that explains the antidepressants in his system. But where did he get the Methadone? Anna Nicole's been accused by the alleged father of her daughter, Larry Birkhead, of being a Methadone addict who was admitted to rehab in the 7th month of her pregnancy. Why is there no investigation as to how Daniel got the Methadone?
PARIS IS A SKANK AND A PRUDE...ISN'T THAT AN OXYMORON?
Former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, ex-boyfriend of Paris Hilton, tattles to the British tabloid, News of the World, that the airhead heiress is not the bomb, but a sexual dud in bed because she was wasted on drugs. He told Georgina Dickinson that, "She was a drunken prude who as far as I can see did not really like sex. She relied on drinks to give her confidence in the bedroom and was more often than not too wasted to even perform. I lost count of the nights I had to pick her off the floor and drag her to bed passed out." He went on to say that she was so hooked on drugs that she smuggled it on airplanes in teddy bears!
Who says chivalry is dead?! Nick's reality show with the IQ challenged Carter clan is a red neck grudge match that never ends. It should be called "The Thrilla in Vanilla"...As for Paris' libido, we told you months ago that she herself admitted that she wasn't that into sex and that her boyfriends were sorely disappointed with having to wake her up in the middle of sex for a call on her sidekick...Paris liberate yourself. Close the shop to all foreign invaders for awhile.
TOM CRUISING FOR A BRUISING
It seems the actor's couch jumping and psychiatry bashing caused a mass exodus of lots of his fans. Even his apology to Brooke Shields after he publicly criticized her for taking medication for postpartum depression couldn't add luster to his tarnished image. Once Tom Cruise ranked among the 10 most popular stars in opinion polls by Marketing Evaluations Inc. He now ranks a bleak No. 650.
What a fascinating lesson in the power of today's Hollywood publicist. Once he fired his long-time publicist, Pat Kingsley, and hired his fellow Scientologist sister, all hell broke loose. Mr. Nice Guy or fanatical cultist with a superiority complex: will the real Tom Cruise please stand up, 3 inch lifts and all!

Mourning Mom Sells Out Before Rites
The NY POST reports that Anna Nicole Smith's 20 year old son Daniel was taking antidepressants after a heartbreaking split with his girlfriend. He died September 10 in his mother's hospital room in Nassau, the Bahamas while visiting her and his newborn sister. A producer on Anna Nicole's last movie, Illegal Alien, reported that Daniel was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat during the filming, according to Fox entertainment reporter Dorothy Lucey. The mystery into his death after uncontrollably coughing up blood and vomit deepens with conflicting pathologists' findings: Anna Nicole's independent investigator says after his autopsy of young Smith that he hasn't detetmined the cause of death. The local coroner told TMZ less than a week before that she was certain what killed him.
Meanwhile, according to TMZ: "Representatives for Anna Nicole Smith have wrangled more than $600,000 from the glossies and TV outlets for pictures taken of Daniel Smith and his mother and baby half-sister just before his death hours later."
Anna Nicole was reportedly inconsolable after her son's death and had to be sedated. As a teenage mom, she and Daniel had a close bond and grew up together. He remained steadfastly loving, and a little bit embarrassed during her wild drug use, public battles with weight and a lengthy court battle for her share of the estate of her late 89-year old tycoon husband. How does a grief stricken mother negotiate a deal for her late son's images before the funeral is even scheduled? Maybe we're downright antediluvian...
Howard Stern might be finding out that conventional wisdom is just that: Folks don't want to pay for something they're used to getting for free. The NY POST reports that since Stern left terrestial radio at CBS for pay radio ($13 a month subscriptions) and a $500 million deal at Sirius last January, "traffic to Stern's Web site was down a whopping 71 percent and his search-engine action plunged 90 percent."
Maybe the model to look to is the Internet with its video and audio podcasts. Advertising revenues fuel most enterprises, not paid subscriptions. TO REPEAT, PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY'RE USED TO GETTING FOR FREE, even if you are the self-proclaimed "King of All Media".
The British newspaper, Daily Mail, reports that, "Brad Pitt has been lined up to replace Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film. It is a move that will make Pitt the highest paid actor in Hollywood history. Paramount Pictures, the company behind the franchise, ended their long-running partnership with Cruise and is planning to install Pitt in the lead role."
The morality tale here: careful whose couch you jump on and which new mother you criticize for post-partum depression...
