Howard K. Stern is due in court this morning to answer to charges that he helped unlawfully supply Anna Nicole Smith with prescription drugs.

He and Smith's former psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich are due to be arraigned on various felony counts, including prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict.

All 11 of the prescriptions found in the Hollywood, Fla., hotel room where Smith died of an accidental overdose in 2007 were written by Eroshevich, none in Smith's name. Eight of the meds were prescribed to Stern.

The duo were charged along with another of Smith's docs, Sandeep Kapoor, on March 12, shortly after a second raid on Kapoor's Studio City, Calif., office.

Kapoor's arraignment is set for May 13.
