Anna Nicole Smith Still Owes Money to the IRS—and They're Going After It
It looks like tax troubles follow you even after death, unfortunately.
Although Anna Nicole Smith passed away in 2007, the IRS is still after the former reality star for some hefty back taxes owed from previous years.
But what can they really do?
Anna Nicole Smith's Death Five Years On: Timeline of a Tragedy
Hard to believe it's been five years since the death of Anna Nicole Smith. And not just because every year since has been chock-full of headlines—both good and bad—that keep the memory of the infamous Playmate, reality star and, lest we forget, mother alive.
In honor of the anniversary of the tragic death of the 39-year-old woman born Vickie Lynn Hogan, we're taking a look back at all the exploits of Anna Nicole, both in the years before and since her death:

Larry Birkhead Sounds Off on Supreme Court Decision Denying Millions to Anna Nicole's Estate
Did we mention Larry Birkhead is a really good dad?
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Anna Nicole Smith's ex-partner opens up about what the future holds for him and daughter Dannielynn now that the Supreme Court ruled last week that the estate of the late Playboy Playmate—of which Dannielynn is the sole heir—isn't entitled to a single penny from her late oil baron husband's estate.
If you thought it was hard losing $89 million that had previously been awarded to Smith, the decision didn't phase the ever-classy Birkhead.
It's Over! Supreme Court Smacks Down Anna Nicole Smith Estate's Claim to Late Hubby's Fortune
Anna Nicole Smith is gone, and now so are her riches.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling Thursday denying the descendants of the ex-Playboy Playmate the $89 million-plus judgment previously awarded to her from late oil baron husband J. Howard Marshall's estate.
So what does the decision mean exactly? In a word, nada, as in, that's what Smith's infant daughter and sole heir, Dannielynn, will be getting now that the highest court in the land has weighed in.
Forget the Lohans, the Cyruses Are the New Osbournes!
Just a few months ago, the Cyruses were top contenders for becoming the next set of Lohans when Billy Ray Cyrus compared daughter Miley to Anna Nicole Smith and suggested the show that put Miley on the map "ruined his family."
More recently, it looked as if the Cyruses had taken a loving turn for the better when Billy Ray reconciled with wife Tish and Miley reunited with The Hunger Games hottie, Liam Hemsworth.
But even though Billy Ray did apologize for his comments, this member of Team Miley wants to remind us why she thinks Billy Ray was so outta line.
Let's just say there's no party in the USA.
Bitch-Back! What Does Brawling Say About Shia LaBeouf?
Dear Ted:
Just saw that Shia LaBeouf got himself into a bit of a drunken bar brawl that was instigated by (in part) being called a "f----t." Question: Does this kind of a reaction to having your sexual orientation challenged reveal anything about whether or not a celebrity is in the closet? If you are straight, wouldn't being called this be easier to dismiss?

Dear Gaydar Police:
All this reveals is that Shia has a bad temper and a drinking problem! The fight really started when Shia refused to take a pic with a fan, so the gal's BF dropped the dreaded word at Shia. Add booze and testosterone to the mix, and you have your standard bar fight—only with boldface names. No matter what insult may have been said, Shia was looking to take a swing at someone. Add to that already combustible recipe, yes, it didn't help anything that anti-gay names were thrown. Shia certainly doesn't want those secrets thought about his protected love life.
Dear Ted:
I was wondering if Madonna has ever been a B.V.? Thanks!

Will Conviction Cost Howard K. Stern Control of Anna Nicole Estate?
UPDATE: On Nov. 29, Stern moved for either a new trial or to have the two conspiracy convictions against him dismissed, claiming that the "district attorney's story was fiction and the case against him was brought in the interest of politics and publicity, and not justice."
_________________________________
Just because he's now a convict doesn't mean Howard K. Stern has to give up his day job.
Despite being found guilty yesterday of conspiring to use fake names and false pretenses to score prescription meds for Anna Nicole Smith, Stern will not have to give up control of her estate.
According to Stern's probate attorney, here's why...
