Biography
Anna Nicole Smith, was born Vicki Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967 in Mexia, Texas. She was abandoned by her father, and raised by her mother and aunt. She became very close with her aunt and cousin, who helped her through many lonely times as a child.

Anna Nicole dropped out of high school at age 17 and married Billy Smith. In the same year she gave birth to her son Daniel. Anna Nicole Smith grew up to be an American sex symbol, model, actress and celebrity. She gained notoriety by posing for Playboy. She had a highly publicized marriage to billionaire J. Howard Marshall who was 63 years her senior. He died months later and Anna Nicole spent many years in court battling his family for a share of his estate. After a bitter court battle Anna was rewarded $450 million.

On August 4, 2002 Anna Nicole starred in her own reality show on the E! network called The Anna Nicole Show. During the show Anna Nicole had gained considerable amount of weight but people still tuned in to see her wackiness.

After her show was canceled, Anna Nicole spent the next few years surrounded in conflict. Her 20-year-old son, Daniel, suddenly died in 2006 in his mother’s hospital room in the Bahamas. Days before she had given birth to daughter Dannielynn. Anna spent the next few months defending her sons sudden death and fighting for paternity of her new born daughter Dannielynn.

Amidst all the conflict, on February 8, 2007, Anna Nicole was found unconscious in her Florida hotel room. She was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.

Paranormal Activity 2 has been a huge hit at the box office. It's no surprise the film did so well, especially with Halloween around the corner. There’s something so spooky, yet so intriguing about ghost stories!

Seems like ghosts like to haunt celebrities as much as regular folks! Here are the top ten celebrity paranormal encounters.

10. Maksim Chmerkovskiy will never cheat on a girlfriend after this experience!
Dancing With the Stars’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy told Hollyscoop, "There is a Hotel in North Carolina--and the room has a ghost of a lady whose husband cheated on her so she jumped out of the window. I stayed in the room next door and heard a lot of noises, and when I called room service to tell them to tell them to quiet down and they told me it was a ghost. Before he finished the story I was already downstairs trying to change my room."

9. Taylor Momsen
Taylor Momsen may sometimes look demonic, but a past experience may be influencing her current goth look!

“My mom grew up in Devil’s Lake, N.D., and her next door neighbor died. She was wealthy and her belongings got put in a museum… So I went ghost hunting and took pictures and talked to her and all this stuff. And there are actually two images that I took, one of a hand on a typewriter and one of her entire body in a window.”

8. Anna Nicole Smith
Leave it to the late Anna Nicole Smith to have had a kinky ghost experience!

“Well … a ghost would crawl up my leg and have sex with me at an apartment a long time ago in Texas. I used to think it was my boyfriend, and one day I woke up and it wasn’t. It was, like, a spirit and it—woo! [miming a ghost flying from under her sheets]—went up! I was freaked out about it, but then I was like, ‘Well, you know what? He’s never hurt me and he just gave me some amazing sex so I have no problem.’”

7. Keanu Reeves
Actor Keanu Reeves is traumatized for life after seeing this vision as a child…

“I was living in New Jersey when I saw and felt this ghost. I remember just staring at this suit which had no body or legs in it as it came into the room before disappearing… It was a double-breasted suit in white, and I looked at my nanny who was just as shocked as me. I just couldn’t get back to sleep afterward, and I still see the figure in my dreams and nightmares.”

6. Shayne Lamas
Reality show star Shayne Lamas told Hollyscoop, "I woke up one day and someone was writing on my wall & another time my mirror shattered."

5. Ke$ha
Ke$ha's hit song “TiK Tok” was inspired by some pretty freaky deaky stuff going on at home!

“I’d always try to convince my friends to spend the night, ‘cause I wouldn’t get haunted on if they were there. I woke up one morning, surrounded by all my girlfriends. I woke up feeling like P. Diddy!”

We always wondered what that line meant!

4. Lisa Rinna
Lisa Rinna did an episode of “Celebrity Ghost Stories” on the Biography Channel where she talked about the ghost that lives in her husband’s (and now her) home.

According to Lisa, when her first daughter was 6 weeks old, she started laughing and seemed to be talking to someone who wasn’t there. When her second daughter, Emilia, was a baby, she heard loud giggling on their baby monitor between spaces of silence. When she went into her daughter’s room, she saw a woman standing over the crib. Now that’s freaky!

3. Lady Gaga
Who knew Lady Gaga was a ghostbuster!

The singer dropped $5K for a Ghostbuster machine to do a “spirit-seeking sweep” of one of the London venues on her Monster’s Ball tour.

One of her aides had to buy the kit, which includes an electro-magnetic field reader. Owner of the “ghost-busting firm,” Dan Webb, told the Sunday Mirror, “Her aide said the gear had to be robust as they were taking it on the road, so they must be doing this every where Lady Gaga is performing.”

Maybe the ghost wanted to check out Lady Gaga's show….

2. Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey’s ghost madame like to scare him in the buff!

The actor once said in an interview, “When I first moved in, I had a tent and I put it up on the floor of the upstairs bedroom with my sleeping bag and my dog. That’s when I first saw Madame Blue. The first night I’m hearing noises, I’m hearing bass sounds, wood moving and coyotes ... So, I get up out of the tent with my dog Miss Hud and I’m running around buck naked and I’ve got a bat so I’m gonna go and investigate. I go downstairs and there’s nothing there. I now know it was here because I have seen her since. She has no qualms with me. She’s a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along!”

We’re soooo jealous of that ghost right now!

1. Michelle Williams
The freakiest ghost stor goes to Michelle Williams, who claims she has been visited by ex-fiancé Heath Ledger‘s ghost on several occasions.

According to Michelle, Heath visited her three months after his death at 3 a.m. and she awoke to her bedroom furniture being moved before seeing a shadowy figure that looked like Heath. The second time he visited, Williams said that he apologized for not helping her to raise their daughter Matilda.

Now that's a tear jerker!
The case of Anna Nicole Smith has finally come to an end. Her creepy ex Howard K. Stern was found guilty on two counts of conspiracy.

Howard was the creep that fueled her prescription drug problem, which ultimately led to her death.

One of her doctors, Khristine Eroshevich, was also convicted on four charges, but doctor Sandeep Kapoor, was cleared of all counts.

The case has been going on for only two months, but it feels like 10 years. Howard is due back in court on January 6th for sentencing. Enjoy your last New Year creep bag...and don’t drop the soap!
A hearing for the Anna Nicole Smith drug case just ended, and it was determined that it will go to trial.

According to TMZ, a judge found enough evidence against Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich to bring them to trial over the death of Anna Nicole.

The three will appear back in court on December 11th. Also, the judge has allowed a video of the former Playboy model to be placed in evidence but not played in court.

Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry said Friday he was not sure if the 2006 video of Smith painting her face like a clown at a child's birthday party showed she was under the influence of drugs.

Lawyers for Smith's boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, objected to admitting the video at the preliminary hearing, which will determine whether Stern and two doctors should stand trial for illegally giving Smith drugs.

Details to come…
Wow talk about shady! Before Anna Nicole Smith died she was under investigation by the FBI because they believed she was part of a plot to kill her tycoon husband's son, whom she was battling for his late dad's fortune.

According to Popeater, the bureau investigated Anna in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was trying to keep his fathers money away from Anna Nicole.

"Smith adamantly denied ever contemplating such a crime," an agent wrote, and prosecutors eventually agreed the case could not go forward.

An April 26, 2001, letter to the FBI from Sally Meloch, an assistant U.S. attorney, said she reviewed the reports but "determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce Marshall."

The case against Anna was eventually dropped because there wasn't enough evidence to charge her. She died in 2007 from a drug overdose and E. Pierce Marshall passed away in 2006.

Of course the attorney for Anna's estate claims he doesn't know anything about the case. Do you think Anna was guilty of the claims? Tell us your thoughts!

Howard K. Stern is in even deeper water.

According to a new report, the former lawyer and boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith will be charged with five additional charges related to allegedly conspiring to administer drugs to her.

TMZ reports that the prosecutors will attempt to charge Stern during a court hearing today. Stern and Smith’s doctors, Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, are already facing six felony charges in the case.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement in March, “These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose.

"This case is not a minor league case. Thousands of pills were put into the body of Anna Nicole Smith. The maximum sentence is several years, one count could be as high as three years, and there are 11 counts.” Stern’s attorney previously said his client will “ultimately be exonerated.”

The court hearing is currently in session. Details to follow…
New developments in the Anna Nicole Smith case. Papers were filed in LA this morning claiming that psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and internist Sandeep Kapoor both had sexual contact with Anna Nicole.

Furthermore, according to the LA Times, L.A. Times, three pharmacists refused to fill the prescriptions Eroshevich and Kapoor had written. One of the pharmacists claims he reacted by saying to himself, "They are going to kill her with this." He also allegedly called the meds “prescription suicide.”

Five days after Anna’s son Daniel died, Eroshevich asked for two sedatives, 300 tablets of methadone, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory drug and 4 bottles of a painkiller.

Authorities also allegedly found photos of Anna Nicole and Eroshevich naked and embracing in a bathtub. There is also a photo of Kapoor "kissing and nuzzling" Anna Nicole.

Dr. Kapoor’s attorney Ellyn Garofalo defends her client saying, "There's been a misreading of the medical records. When all the facts are disclosed, they will show that Dr. Kapoor's treatment of Anna Nicole Smith was in good faith and consistent with good medical practice."

Sounds awfully sketchy to us! Story developing….
