Anna Nicole Smith was so whacked out of her mind in 2006 that she mistook the baby growing in her womb for a case of bad gas -- and it's all on a tape that was entered as evidence in court on Friday.
The video was shot by Howard K. Stern at a little girl's birthday party. Snippets of the video were released two years ago, but now the entire 50-minute tape is being used in the drug case against Stern and Anna's former doctors.
In this particular clip, Smith can't seem to comprehend the fact that she's pregnant -- consistently denying there's a baby in her belly ... despite the fact she's showing.
It just gets weirder from there -- check it out for yourself. Then sadly, at the end of the clip, the little girl looks straight into the camera and says, "She's having brain trouble."

A state medical board investigator claims one of Anna Nicole Smith's former doctors -- who's currently charged with illegally giving prescription drugs to Anna -- has also been hiding some of her key medical records.
According to the testimony, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor kept a hidden stash of important medical records pertaining to Anna Nicole at his lawyer's office and at his home. The judge says this could be interpreted as "guilty knowledge" -- or the intention to commit a prohibited act.
Dr. Kapoor has already pled not guilty to illegally supplying Anna Nicole with prescription drugs.

Larry Birkhead was asked today whether the prosecutor in the case tried to unfairly influence him.
During cross examination, Ellyn Garafalo, the lawyer for Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, asked Birkhead if Deputy DA Sarah Slice cornered him in the hallway last Friday and accused him of taking Howard K. Stern's side when he testified. Birkhead acknowledged the conversation and felt chastised.
Birkhead testified Slice suggested something was developmentally wrong with Dannielynn because of Anna Nicole Smith's drug use.
Outside court, Birkhead said Dannielynn was not only fine, some doctors have told him she's advanced for her age.
And there's this ... Birkhead testified he's raked in around $2 million from media outlets.
The best part -- the prosecutor was asking about reality shows, and the judge jumped in .... "I don't care about that unless it has to do with a balloon or something."

Larry Birkhead is on the stand in the preliminary hearing involving Anna Nicole Smith and the defendants who allegedly fueled her drug habit.
Birkhead just testified between August 2004 and May 2006, he saw Anna take the following drugs regularly: Topamax, Lasix, Klonopin, Valium, Xanax, Potassium and Methadone.
He has not talked about whether Howard K. Stern or the two other defendants -- Sandeep Kapoor and Kristine Eroshevich -- helped facilitate Anna's drug use, but he did identify Dr. Kapoor as Smith's regular physician at the time.
UPDATE 3:20 PM ET -- Birkhead testified he saw Anna's prescription bottles with several different names on them: Anna Nicole Smith, Michelle Chase, Vicki Marshall and Jane Brown. Larry also said the whole time he knew Anna he was concerned that she would take her meds inappropriately.
UPDATE 5:50 PM ET -- Birkhead testified he never saw anyone force Anna to take medication. He said he saw Anna with a duffel bag full of meds. Birkhead said he saw Stern give the bag to Anna Nicole, but didn't see him administer any drugs.

The first witness in the preliminary hearing over Anna Nicole Smith's prescription drug death testified authorities found a baby bottle of Pedialyte on her bed, along with a bottle of Cipro.
Pedialyte is used to rehydrate children when they experience diarrhea and vomiting. Anna had been battling the flu.
Cipro is an antibiotic used to treat infections.
Anna was found unresponsive in her hotel room on February 8, 2007 at the Hard Rock in Seminole, Florida. Her cause of death was a sleeping med along with 8 other prescription drugs.
Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, and Khristine Eroshevich are charged with fueling a drug addict's habit.
The baby bottle evidence could be important because prosecutors are trying to show Anna Nicole was so incapacitated from drugs she could barely function.

The preliminary hearing for the people accused of fueling Anna Nicole Smith with drugs kicks off today... and Larry Birkhead faces an almost impossible situation.
We're told Birkhead will testify either Thursday or Friday. Prosecutors will ask Anna's baby daddy about various comments he made about Howard K. Stern allegedly fueling Anna's drug habit.
But here's the problem ... Birkhead made these comments to TMZ and other media outlets during the time he was at war with Howard over Dannielynn.
Birkhead and Stern have not only settled their custody dispute and other differences ... they actually work together in handling all matters Anna Nicole.
So Birkhead is in an awkward position ... how does he back off his statements? Even more awkward, perhaps ... the prosecution is calling a witness who probably will not own the statements they're calling him to the stand to make.
The three defendants -- Howard K. Stern and two of Anna's doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich -- have all pled not guilty to a grand total of 23 felonies.
Stay tuned ...

A pharmacist told Anna Nicole Smith the drugs her internist prescribed to cope with her son's death were "pharmaceutical suicide," according to just released documents.
And, in a stunning turn, the court papers filed by the State of California claim psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and internist Sandeep Kapoor -- both being prosecuted for their prescribing practices in the Smith case -- crossed the line by having sexual contact with Anna Nicole.
According to the document, obtained by the L.A. Times, three pharmacists refused to fill the prescriptions Eroshevich and Kapoor had written. One of the pharmacists claims he reacted by saying to himself, "They are going to kill her with this."
According to the documents, five days after her son, Daniel, died Eroshevich asked for two sedatives, 300 tablets of methadone, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory drug and 4 bottles of a painkiller.
As for the alleged improper sexual contact, authorities found photos of Anna Nicole and Eroshevich naked and embracing in a bathtub. As for Kapoor, authorities cite a video showing a shirtless Kapoor "kissing and nuzzling" Anna Nicole.
Ellyn Garofalo, the attorney for Dr. Kapoor, says "There's been a misreading of the medical records." She adds, "When all the facts are disclosed, they will show that Dr. Kapoor's treatment of Anna Nicole Smith was in good faith and consistent with good medical practice."

The judge has agreed to hold back on the arrest warrant until 11:30 AM -- if Kapoor doesn't show by then, doc could be cuffed and thrown in the pokey.
UPDATE 11:30 AM PT -- Kapoor finally showed so the warrant was quashed.

Howard K. Stern turned himself in last night -- he was arrested and charged, along with two other doctors, for allegedly conspiring to fuel an addict with prescription drugs -- and the addict was Anna Nicole Smith.
Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor (above right) and Khristine Eroshevich are being charged with a total of eight felonies.
According to the L.A. County D.A., the conspiracy counts allege the three defendants conspired to furnish controlled substances to Smith between July, 2004 and January 2007.
Stern and Kapoor were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance. Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 2004 and January 2007.
Kapoor and Eroshevich were each charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." They were both also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.
Kapoor and Stern were also charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict." Eroshevich was charged with the same crime for separate prescriptions.
Bail is recommended at $20,000 for each defendant. We know both Stern and Kapoor bailed out Thursday night.
As we first reported, California drug officials recently raided the Los Angeles office of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, looking for evidence against Stern.
Stern has denied doing anything illegal in connection with drugs and Anna Nicole.
The pictures below -- obtained by TMZ -- were taken in Anna Nicole's bedroom in the Bahamas, shortly after she died. It was stocked with methadone (5 mg per 5 ml), along side Slim-Fast. The Slim-Fast is ironic since Anna was a TRIMSPA spokesperson.
TMZ had obtained docs showing that 13 days before Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to Dannielynn, Dr. Kapoor wrote a prescription for methadone. It was written to Michelle Chase, an alias Anna used.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor is the subject of an inquiry by the Medical Board of California, which wants to know more about physician misconduct allegations in the treatment of the late Anna Nicole Smith.
Spokesperson Candis Cohen says that the board is looking into "possible misconduct" by Dr. Kapoor, after TMZ reported his prescribing of methadone to an alias used by Anna Nicole. Cohen added that the board was looking into the legality of prescribing drugs to someone who is using an alias.
