Lethal prescriptions are initial focus in Smith case
Prosecutors blame psychiatrist for high dosages of six drugs
BY LINDA DEUTSCH
LOS ANGELES — With a preliminary hearing in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case nearing its end, prosecutors are focusing on the opinions of a pharmacist and his associate who say the celebrity model was being prescribed enough drugs to kill her.

Pharmacist Ira Freeman testified Thursday he refused to fill a request for medications from Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Smith's psychiatrist. Freeman said the dosage amounts requested were so high they would constitute "pharmaceutical suicide."
Freeman said he was so concerned that he asked for help from a former associate, Gregory

Thompson, the retired director of the poison control and drug information center at the University of Southern California. He said Thompson agreed the doses being requested for six drugs were "outrageously high."
Prosecutors displayed an enlarged, handwritten letter sent by Eroshevich to Kapoor introducing herself and asking him for six medications: Dilaudid, Lorazapam (also known as Ativan), Soma, Dalmane,

Freeman said Eroshevich was seeking to prescribe Dalmane, a sleeping medication, at eight times the normal usage. She also wanted Soma, a muscle relaxant, in high dosage, he said.
The request came just after Smith had given birth to a baby and witnessed the death of her son, Daniel. Eroshevich, also a friend and neighbor, had been visiting Los Angeles pharmacies collecting medications to take to Smith in the Bahamas, according to testimony.

On cross-examination, Santiago said Thompson told him Eroshevich was trying to do the right thing for Smith but was not familiar with the drugs she was prescribing.
The preliminary hearing for Eroshevich, Kapoor and Stern was to end its second week Friday, but will continue into next week.

Gala models its green ideals
BY SANDY COHEN
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - With local, organic food, minimal electricity use and on-site composting, the Environmental Media Association's 20th anniversary party might be the green standard for future Hollywood awards shows.
The awards-show dinner, held Sunday on the Paramount lot, modeled its message — recognizing the industry's efforts to go green with an organic, lowwaste, environmentally friendly event.
Actors Hart Bochner, center, and Ed Begley Jr., right, with his wife Rachelle Carson, arrive at the 20th Anniversary Environmental Media Awards at the Paramount Studios backlot Sunday in Los Angeles. The event set a sustainable example by minimizing food and energy waste.
"It's such a great example to have an elegant Hollywood party that's sustainable," said EMA president Debbie Levin. "It's extremely easy if you just think about what you're doing."

Founded by Norman and Lyn Lear and Alan and Cindy Horn, the Environmental Media Association encourages Hollywood to spread the word about going green.
Twenty years later, the group counts the Endangered Species Coalition, the Alaska Rainforest Campaign, the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund among its partners.
It has been honored by the White House and praised by Al Gore - years before "An Inconvenient Truth."
The group has met with
"If we can help the populace know as much about climate problems as they know today about Balloon Boy, we will have succeeded," the 87-year-old writer-producer said.
hundreds of Hollywood writers, directors and producers, helping them incorporate green themes into their films and TV shows and encouraging them to make those productions more environmentally friendly.
EMA's latest efforts include assembling a group of youngcelebrity ambassadors to encourage
One of those ambassadors, actress Amy Smart, said she drives a hybrid car, recycles and eats organic.
green behavior among their fans and launching an organic garden program in public schools.
Actress Olivia Wilde, who also drives a hybrid, said Hollywood sets tend to be "very wasteful places," but things are changing.
"We can try to waste less paper and have scripts distributed more responsibly," she said. "It's not overwhelming if you take it step by step."
