Smith’s lawyer-turned-partner, Howard K Stern, has alleged that the diaries had been stolen and should be returned to her estate.
But Norwine said he vetted the history of the journals and believed they were legitimately obtained by a celebrity memorabilia dealer in
The diaries from 1992 and 1994 cover a range of topics, from Smith’s love of octogenarian oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II to concerns about her eating.
Anna Nicole baby case still unresolved - April 22 2007
Anna Nicole Smith’s mother and ex-boyfriend left a Bahamian court disappointed as the latest closed hearing in the custody dispute over the late Playboy Playmate’s infant daughter ended without resolution.
Former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, the baby’s father, said he hoped to be leaving the

"On my behalf, everything went well," Larry told reporters after the hour-long hearing.

Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, left the courthouse in central
Before the session began, she said simply "I’m holding on".
The pair have tried in recent days to reach a visitation agreement that would end her legal bid for custody of seven-month-old Dannielynn, who could inherit a fortune from the estate of her mother.
Anna Nicole, 39, collapsed and died from an accidental drug overdose in February.
Larry friendly with former adversary - April 19 2007
The father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby has only kind words to say about Howard K Stern, his former adversary in the paternity case.
"People blame him a lot, but Anna had her own mind too," Larry told OK! magazine.
"She had a choice and we were arguing and that’s what happens. I’m thankful that everyone can get along for Dannielynn. How could you not?"
Larry, 34, ex-boyfriend of the late Playboy Playmate, had feuded with Stern over the paternity of seven-month-old Dannielynn.
A court ruled last week that DNA tests proved Larry is the father.
Father and daughter are featured on the cover and inside the magazine’s latest issue.
Stern has been helpful, Larry says.
"It seems unlikely, but he’s been a great help. He’s been with Dannielynn the last several months. He knows her likes and dislikes and things that could help me."
But Larry isn’t as generous with his comments on Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, who is seeking visitation rights.
"It’s puzzling for her to display affection to me and then for the attorneys to say she’s going for custody and Larry was just a sperm donor and a one-night stand," he says.
"Then they all come and shake my hand. You’ve gotta scratch your head and say, ’What’s going on here?’"
He added: "I’m willing to listen to see what people want, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to agree.

Although she had aspirations to become ’the next Marilyn Monroe’, Vickie began working at Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken where she met her first husband, Billy Wayne Smith. They married when Vickie was just seventeen. The next year she gave birth to their son Daniel and in 1987 seperated from her husband, finding work as an exotic dancer in Houston.
Whilst working as a stripper she met elderly millionaire J. Howard Marshall, with whom she began a relationship despite the sixty three year age gap. In 1994 the couple married amid much tabloid excitement. Marshall died thirteen months later, leaving nothing to his young wife.
In the interim Vickie, now going by the name Anna Nicole Smith, appeared on the front cover of Playboy, being made Playmate of the Year by Hugh Hefner. She bagged a deal with Guess?, replacing supermodel Claudia Schiffer and finding herself a household name. Meanwhile Anna Nicole battled Marshall’s sons in the courts for her share of her late husbands millions, however she was eventually bankrupted and ordered to pay $1million dollars in fees. She was again given the right to fight for her entitlement following the death of her stepson.
Anna Nicole’s acting career was much less publicised than her marriage, although she appeared in high profile films The Hudsucker Proxy and Naked Gun 33 1/3. Her bigger roles came in smaller films such as To The Limit and Skyscraper and on television, appearing as herself in wacky reality TV series The Anna Nicole Show. She later apeared in Be Cool and Wasabi Tuna.
On September 7 2006 Anna Nicole gave birth to a daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, claiming the father was her lawyer Howard K Stern, although her ex boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, claimed the child as his. Three days later her son, Daniel, died of an apparent drug overdose while visiting his mother and half sister in hospital. Later that same month Anna Nicole and Howard K Stern exchanged vows in a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.
On February 8 2007, the day after a date for a paternity test on her daughter had been set, Anna Nicole collapsed at a hotel in Florida and later died. An autopsy has yet to determine the cause of death.
