Reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith is the center of a drug conspiracy case that's resulting in some hard work for a jury selection comittee. The first day of jury selection in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy case has ended with most of the possible panelists eliminated.
Judge Robert Perry finished Monday's session by ordering another group to report Tuesday after attorney challenges excluded all but a few of the first 60 people to be questioned.
Among those removed was a man who said he believed psychiatry was a fraud, and a fan of Nicole's reality TV show who said the Playboy model's boyfriend-lawyer, Howard Stern, did not do enough to save her from drugs. Stern and two of Smith's doctors have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to get massive amounts of opiates and sedatives for Smith. They are not charged with her 2007 overdose death in Florida.

Paris Hilton appeared briefly late Friday in a South African courtroom after being arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana.She appeared in a special FIFA World Cup court around midnight local time. Neither she nor court officials said anything and she was quickly led away to another room, according to an Associated Press reporter in court.The socialite was wearing an off-white sleeveless blouse. Her hair was in pigtails and she had heavy black eyeliner.
Two South African police officers said:Paris was detained in Port Elizabeth earlier Friday for possession of marijuana charges, The officers spoke on condition of anonymity, since they were not authorized to release her name before she appeared in court.
A spokeswoman for police at Port Elizabeth, Brig.Marinda Mills, declined to confirm the name, but said a high profile person was appearing in court.
"This person is appearing in court right now. We cannot reveal information about her until she has appeared in court. I am here with the individual in court, we're waiting for the court to start," Mills told the Associated Press.
Her Los Angeles-based publicist, Dawn Miller, said she was awaiting details from the court appearance before commenting. A local radio station in Johannesburg said Paris was detained outside the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium, following the quarterfinal match between Brazil and Netherlands.
A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Hilton was caught with an unspecified amount of marijuana.
"She was found in possession of some amount of dagga," the officer said, using the local name for marijuana. "We don't know how much. It's a high profile person, only the top cops are dealing with it," he said.
Another police officer, also speaking anonymously, said Hilton's court appearance had to do with "smoking marijuana."
Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."
Investors for Hilton's 2006 box-office bomb "Pledge This!" have been battling the heiress in federal court, claiming that she didn't plug the film enough. Hilton, who testified last summer at a trial over the dispute, previously said that she was dissatisfied with the finished film, but she worked hard to make sure the college sorority romp succeed.

Kristen Stewart is head over heels about the final installment of the Twilight film series, “Breaking Dawn”, being broken into two separate movies. In an interview with MTV News, Stewart stated:
“I’m really excited. I didn’t want to read the script that was just one [movie]. It would have lacked so much because you just couldn’t cram the story into one. At least that was my opinion, so I’m really excited.”
She also feels as if her character Bella blossoms into a woman and becomes the strongest link in the final chapter.
“She’s a woman now and it blows my mind. It’s going to be a completely different person to play. She’s like a matriarch now. She’s the strongest vampire, she literally can protect everyone. She’s literally impenetrable. I’m most excited about seeing Renesmee. It should be interesting, all of that stuff.”
Part 1 of “Twlight: Breaking Dawn” will come out on November 18th 2011 and will feature actress Kristen Stewart, along with actors Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner. The release date for part 2 has not been announced yet. Watch her:
