A judge has set an Aug. 4 start date for Howard K. Stern and two doctors accused of aiding and abetting Anna Nicole Smith’s prescription-drug habit, which ultimately resulted in her death from an accidental overdose in 2007.

After a three-week preliminary hearing in October, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley determined that there was enough evidence to merit a trial for Stern, psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor.

The trio have pleaded not guilty to 23 felony counts altogether, including obtaining an opiate prescription by fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;  prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict; and unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance.

Another hearing is scheduled for April 23.

Larry Birkhead has purchased a 10,000-sq.-ft., six-bedroom house in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., for himself and 21-month-old daughter Dannielynn, he tells PEOPLE.

Birkhead, 35, says the house, which has 40-ft. ceilings and is modeled after a Sicilian church, was never completed, needs a lot of work, and right now “looks like a haunted house,” but he loves it.

“When I walked in, I said to myself, ‘This is our home!’” says Birkhead.

He adds he might sell the Los Angeles house where he’s surrounded by memories of its former occupants – Dannielynn’s mother, Anna Nicole Smith, and half-brother Daniel, who both died from drug-related complications.

“At first, I couldn’t imagine parting with it,” says Birkhead. “Then I realized I was probably holding on to it for the wrong reasons, thinking to myself that would ease the pain of losing Anna and Daniel. I have always thought that it would be great for Dannielynn to grow up in her mother’s home; however, there is no yard as it is over a canyon.”

He adds: “There also isn’t any little friends for her to run around with – which makes the idea of Kentucky even more inviting.”

LARRY AND DANNIELYNN”

The doctor who prescribed methadone for an 8 months pregnant Anna Nicole Smith, defends his actions by saying that giving her the drug was “medically sound and appropriate.”
Dr. Sandeep Kapoor’s lawyer goes on to say that it’s a-ok for pregnant women to take methadone, and by the way, who cares if he prescribed it to a pseudonym, because, well, she’s a public figure and has a right to her privacy.

A California judge is clearing the way for Anna Nicole Smith’s body to be buried, but the question remains — to whom will the body be released?

Moments ago, a California judge withdrew his request to put a 10-day hold on Smith’s remains, meaning her body may be released and buried, pending a corresponding ruling from a Florida court. A decision is expected shortly.

The contents included Slim Fast (Die Soon), Methadone, Body Butter, Worcestershire sauce, and yogurt.

The methadone is compelling, as Smith’s son Daniel died from a combination of drugs that included methadone. Law enforcement sources in the Bahamas tell TMZ that at least one witness has come forward and said Howard K. Stern supplied Daniel with methadone just before he died, and flushed the remaining stash down the toilet. That witness is expected to testify next month at the coroner’s inquest into Daniel’s death.
