The Birth Announcement read round the world I would guess of James Nazarian born March 11, 2010!
“There was a flash of joy within the universe early Thursday morning — my son Chris and his adorable girlfriend Victoria together brought their new son James Nazarian into the world at 4:20 A.M. James is 9.9 lbs and 21 inches, and upon hearing this I was so glad that I always gave Victoria the chair at the head of our table during dinner…extra room, 9.9 POUNDS, not-so-little James came into the world at almost 10 POUNDS!! Thank god for medical technology, as what an “OUCH” factor that had to be…I am just guessing, never having given birth.
Becoming a grandfather is an incredible thing. My middle name is James and what an honor to have my grandson named after…me! They named their son after me! I am looking forward to watching James grow, and to assure that he is in the right financial place a stock portfolio will have been put together by the time you read this! After all, if James is going to be named after me he should, at the appropriate time, have a few bucks in his pocket.
I wish Victoria and Chris all the best, and they will have to remember that for the rest of their lives they are now Mom and Dad. And their focus should be to make sure their son James has all the world can offer to him, but most of all the love and caring of each other and together sharing that with James…I am sure they will do all of that as they will be reminded “once in awhile” who James’s grandfather is.
Victoria and Chris, job well done!
Dad”
On a personal note, Ken and I have gotten to know Mr. Nazarian over the last two plus years via email and a few phone calls, ever since I talked his publicist into allowing Rose Speaks.com to pick up Mr. Nazarian’s coverage of the Anthony Pellicano trial. Mr. Nazarian is devoted to his two sons and if you look at pictures we put up occasionally with his articles of his cars (the Rolls and Bentley) you will see that the hedges around John’s home is 20 feet high. I think he has always been aware that in his business he has made a few enemies along the way, but I have NEVER seen a picture of his two sons anywhere. So to me, this cute James Nazarian, the grandson of John, he could not ask for a more protective grandfather.
We here at Rose Speaks wish Chris, Victoria and James a long and happy life and to remember your children grow up so fast, enjoy every day, and EXPECT advice from your dad, Chris, grandparents are put on earth to do that and I would imagine John will do that with grace, love and as fierce of protective grandfather as any grandchild can have.
I feel Ken and I at Rose Speaks joins with all of John J. Nazarian’s clients including in part the firms and lawyers of Trope and Trope, Hersh, Mannis & Bogen, LLP, Meyer, Olson, Lowy & Meyers LLP, Trope & DeCarolis, LLP, Ron Rale, Sorrell Trope, Michael Trope, Patrick Decarolis, Lisa Helfend Meyer, Gary Fishbein, Ira M. Friedman, Ron Litz, Harland Braun and Adam Braun. There is not enough room to name them all and the clients who became friends along the way including Pauley Perrette and Michelle Phillips. The clients he has represented so well they are proud to be named on the site of Nazarian and Associates. Clients including Oscar de la Hoya, Vin Diesel, Steven Bochco, and Les Moonves, and it could go on from there.
As you can see the list is so large we cannot begin to list them all, but I am willing to bet that James Nazarian’s birth is going to be celebrated in California by all who have been positively touched by the dedication, commitment, professionalism and knowledge John shows to his clients, and to the few lucky enough to call him a friend. Not to forget his one of a kind wit that can make me laugh with my fist cup of coffee.
James Nazarian is beautiful Mr. Nazarian! All of our best to you and your family.
Please keep comments on this article positive, Ken and I would so appreciate an outpouring of congratulations on this happiest of occasions.

Happy Birthday “No Fault Divorce,” 40 years old and counting. Well, happy for some anyways, certainly not for all. It was 1970 when the California law took effect. Now it is practiced in every state, except New York, ahhhh the East, gotta love em!
“No Fault Divorce” is a wonderful thing, except for one little thing, the human element. What is that you ask?… …blood pressure meds are a bitch. Oh for sure “No Fault” is here to stay, and so is the human element. …
…No Fault is for many just a legal term, and private investigators know darn well that there has to be “fault” and it is laying right next to “reason.” It has to be someone’s “fault” that he or she no longer loves me, and further more I want to know the “reason.” Just like in the days before No Fault. …
…No Fault there are several states that are not so friendly towards the female part in the divorce, for example Ohio. Ohio seems to lean towards the sperm donor’s side in regards to community property and support…it is just how it seems to me. I love the Chili Dogs in Toledo.
Happy Birthday “No Fault” and thanks for keeping a roof over my head!
Be Sure to Read the Rest of this article about the “new woman” or the “abs” on DesperateExes.com and while there read the article this is referenced to. Yes I did steal John J. Nazarian’s graphic artists work. Sorry but it was just too cute to pass up. Be sure you browse DesperateExes.com for other articles we don’t pick up; there is an array of great articles there.

Once again it’s “Super Lawyers” time…folks, this is so embarrassing! Embarrassing from the point that this is PAID PUBLICITY, paid for by the “Super Lawyers” themselves. Sure I have heard all about the “point system” and “input from peers,” I am just having problems telling Bullshit from Roses.
…Input from peers, and 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement-things like experience, verdicts, and settlements, transactions, clients, honors and awards — this was taken from “Super Lawyers” on how the “Supers” are selected…I am not buying it.
…And it gets even better, there is Top 10 Law Schools, The Top 100, The Top 50, The Rising Stars. Well how about this, The Biggest Wallet, The Newest Rolls Royce, The Biggest Gut, The Smallest Feet, our favorites The Best Dressed, The Worst Dressed, The Worst Breath, The Biggest Ego, The Coolest Offices, and as you see this could go on and on.
…I know some of these lawyers, and to call them “Super” would be a little like watching a train wreck and applauding. There are some very good lawyers on the list… …Oh that is one of the other fun things you can do if you buy one of these silly advertising gimmicks and that is having it framed and hanging in your office…problem, they are also hanging in all of the other “Super Lawyers” offices…..why? They too paid for it!
Hmm, I just had a thought, they should reach out to all of those unhappy clients who may have hired a “Super Lawyer” from this list and got hammered. We could then have the “Asswipe Awards,”… …could be a money maker too, and at least it would be honest and heart-felt.
Note: “Super Lawyers” does print this: “You may wonder whether lawyers pay to be included. The simple and unequivocal answer is no. …who writes this stuff? guys in long coats, tall hats and carpet bags?
DesperateExes.com will be posting our own list of lawyers who we think are the best here in the Southern California area, based on our experience and observation, not payola. But if anyone wants to send us $25,000, we’ll be happy to post your picture, suitable for framing!
To get the most from this article and Ken could hear me laughing across our house, and you can’t even hear the dogs barked from that distance; this full article is a must read, laughter is good for the soul. WARNING: Do not have any type of drink in hand or take a sip you too could have a screen full of cola as I did while reading this.
http://desperateexes.com/2010/02/04/super-lawyers-meet-asswipes/.
Be sure you visit the rest of Desperate Exes.com while there some great, funny and some serious articles. My vote is John J. Nazarian should write a book, call it Desperate Exes!.

Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings from all of us at DesperateExes.com, and what a year it has been. Rich celebrities losing their fortunes, silly celebs losing what little brain matter they may have had, and male icons not understanding how fragile their images are, and of course all of those who have made a living off of all this mishigas! Mishigas is becoming my word of choice for much of what divorce is all about and it is also a word that I can associate with another word: costly. The more crazy things become for the wealthy, the more the cost of fixing it.
Well, gone are the little jelly candies that we gave out for more than ten years, the company who made them for us was sold. …After trying numerous ideas we found it! Bella Viva Orchards, this is a family owned and run farm in Denair, located in the Central Valley of California. …all of those who are close to Nazarian and Associates will now be getting… …I and many of you will miss the wonderful jelly candies, but, like my hairline, they are gone.
My good friend Cary Goldstein and I almost ate an entire box of Bella Viva …with a nice chilled bottle of Cristal. That is one of my favorite champagnes. We were relaxing and laughing about some of the events that plague us in our chosen professions…get me another drink.
Talking about hanging out, drove up to Bob and Joan Cohen’s home the other night …The Cohens have an amazing home that overlooks the entire Los Angeles basin. It was late and it was one of those moments when the stars are in alignment… … we were enjoying the evening sipping a great port and sitting by the pool. How did I know it was a great port? I bought it as a gift for Bob a few years before, nothing better than a great port. And Bob, that is one of the most gorgeous Jaguar sports cars that I have seen, drive it in good health.

Peppone Ristorante, Brentwood, California was the meeting place of the week, not bad for an evening of laughs and entertainment with Michael Trope, Christian Nazarian and of course me, John Nazarian. We had a nice table in a little room off the bar and it is in fact a little old New Yorkish…
But whoever did those imitation Tiffany lamps should be taken out to the back and made to eat bad gnocchi! ….high dollar joints should never use FAKE TIFFANY anything. And I have always enjoyed “red light” joints.
Back to the dinner. It seems no matter where Michael Trope and I eat, we find a celebrity or two. Tonight was no different, Tom Selleck was sitting at a table with a few older gentlemen and looked, well, like Tom Selleck.
Our food was good and we all avoided the Filet Mignon meatballs as it was my opinion that this would be an attack on our wallets! …I have often stated many times, I make one of the best meatballs that I have ever tasted. … My son Chris had a nice side of $36 risotto, this would be $7-8 in a nice Italian place as a small side, NOT HERE. …Michael also had a chicken dish and there were no complaints coming from his side of the table. Stand by! …Gelson’s Supermarkets just looked like a giveaway!
Hey the bottom line is this, Peppone’s is not cheap, but the food was good, the service was very friendly and attentive and we had a great evening. Tough to complain, when Michael Trope parked his Bentley Convertible at the curb in front of the restaurant and I had parked my Bentley right behind his….it was a very L.A. moment, two white Bentleys sitting in front of a pricey Brentwood eatery.
Note: Peppone’s has a reputation for being a place that old rich guys will bring their much younger “girlfriends” and snuggle, yuk. Tonight was no exception, some old rich guy brings his “girlfriend” and they fought and snarled right next to us while they snacked on appetizers. It was great! It was like being at work for all three of us. She was very attractive and young, he was old and paid with a Black American Express card, enough said! “Love, is it not special, and very nice“, “ How much”?
Read the rest of Mr. Nazarian critique of a night out with son Chris and good friend Michael Trope, however this article leaves you very hungry for high quality food. While at Desperateexes be sure to spend some time reading articles. Some are funny, some blunt, and many educational

I., Neil McCabe, Rita Cosby, Steve Sadow, TMZ, TMZ.com, The O'Quinn Law Firm, Virgie Arthur

This is the final week of the preliminary hearing to hold Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor over for trial of conspiring together to furnish prescription medication to a “known addict”. The trial is rumored that it will start after the first of the year. Which is long after the Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby defamation trial is due to start on November 30 and end within a month or before the end of the year.
Last week on Thursday and Friday we had three pharmacists and the other investigator and partner of Danny Santiago, Jennifer Doss, a special agent with the California Department of Justice pharmaceutical task force. She testified that Anna Nicole Smith had been using multiple doctors, pharmacies and associates to obtain prescription drugs under false names. Steve Sadow suggested in cross-examination that some of the medication was legitimately issued to Howard K. Stern for back problems and for botox injections.
Judge Perry interrupted Jennifer Doss at one point to say, “I’m supposed to be making a decision whether a crime was committed, I don’t want you saying that you think a crime was committed.”
One of the pharmacists, Ira Freeman testified he was so alarmed at the now infamous faxed prescription list that he called a friend who was a drug expert named Gregory Thompson, and asked him to speak with Eroshevich in the Bahamas. Freeman said he had been dealing with Smith for years through his pharmacy, usually issuing prescriptions to her under the name of Michelle Chase, a pseudonym used to protect her privacy. Freeman went on to say that Anna Nicole Smith always sent other people, including Stern, to pick up the prescriptions.
Department of Justice investigator Danny Santiago returned to the stand to relate his interview with Thompson after Smith’s death. Santiago said Thompson, former director of the poison control and drug information center at the University of Southern California, called the dosages requested by Eroshevich “outrageously high.” “He said they would work on an addict under supervised care, a dying cancer patient or if you were gong to kill someone.”
However under cross examination Santiago admitted that during his interview with Thompson the doctor had told Santiago that Dr. Eroshevich was trying to do the right thing for Anna Nicole Smith but was not familiar with the drugs she was prescribing.
We also had Homeland Security agent Kenneth Krause described travel records showing multiple flights by Stern Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, to and from the Bahamas at times when prescriptions were picked up in California for Anna Nicole Smith.
Of the last two witnesses one will be Dr. Timothy Botello Monday to evaluate actions taken by Smith’s psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The last witness is said to be a computer forensics expert who will testify to what this forensic expert found in regards to analyze e-mails in the case.
In other news on Friday, October 23 Larry Birkhead and Debra Opri settled their cross suits against each other. The public part of the agreement says that each will pay their own attorney fees and that the Los Angeles Court will continue jurisdiction to enforce the settlement. The public documents do not say how much of that $600,000+ of money held in an interest drawing bank account since June 2007 will be divided between Birkhead and Opri.
UPDATE: In this morning testimony, Dr. Timothy Botello, an expert in psychiatry, testified he documented prescriptions written from 2003 to 2007 when Smith died. He focused on one month in 2004 when Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Smith’s psychiatrist, and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were giving her medications from various pharmacies.
Stay with Rose Speaks.com throughout today as we bring you the latest from the court in Los Angeles as the preliminary hearing winds down.

Court started at 8:30 AM this morning, October 15, 2009 on day three of the preliminary hearing in Los Angeles California. First up is the cross examination by defense attorney Steve Sadow of yesterday’s star prosecution witness, Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt. That has been listed by many court observer as taking up the full morning for the most part.
After lunch the question is will Larry Birkhead, appear, he will be pro Howard K. Stern but might be hostile to Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Eroshevich. Adam Braun, attorney for Eroshevich, said he might attempt to have Birkhead’s testimony postponed because he had just received an audio tape from the state of Birkhead’s interview with them and has not had time to fully examine it.
The state is keeping their cards close as to what witnesses will be appearing on which days. There are hints around the courthouse that Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry may shut down the preliminary hearing early next week. He is showing some impatience often heard saying, “This is not murder trial” and “Whose fault is it that somebody takes too many pills?”
I keep going back to why a public preliminary hearing which is a basic walk through preview of what might come up at trial, in lieu of a Grand Jury which the outcome would have been a finding of enough evidence to go to trial. They both, I am told, end up at the same place so why this, and not the close door hearing?
Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt, one of Anna Nicole Smith’s body guards, I am told by one court observer, came across as very believable and would be hard to shake from his testimony yesterday. Let’s see how this plays out with Steve Sadow, Howard K. Stern’s lead attorney who took charge first thing this morning.
We don’t know if Don Clark is still in California as a “material hostile witness” for Howard K. Stern, but Neil McCabe is now back in Houston to our understanding. However, we have not been able to confirm that. Neil McCabe we can now confirm was not in court yesterday and has not been seen in court today. We have now been able to confirm for you that both Don Clark and Neil McCabe are back in Houston today.
LOS ANGELES — The AP is reporting that; “A judge has barred testimony about an alleged sexual relationship between Anna Nicole Smith and a female doctor accused of providing her with excessive medication.” Prosecutors attempted to question Smith’s former bodyguard Thursday about an alleged relationship between the late model and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry shut down the line of questioning, saying he didn’t think it was relevant.
UPDATE ONE AND BOMBSHELL ONE FOR TODAY: Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt is still testifying for the prosecution and has stated it was Larry Birkhead that furnished Anna Nicole Smith with Ecstasy and champagne to wash it down, at the Music awards in 2004. Mo further testified that every time he took the champagne away from Anna Nicole, Birkhead replaced it with a new glass full. It will be later today before Steve Sadow, Stern’s lawyer can try to chip away at that. What will this do to the “boy next door” image of Dannielynn’s father? The court is out on it’s morning break right now and it appears that at least one more Assistant D. A. is coming into court with notes if not to remain for testimony following the break.
UPDATE TWO: Good chance that Larry Birkhead will not testify today. As Maurice “Big Mo” Brighthaupt continues his slamming of all of the defendants except Dr. Kapoor, it appears the defense is not going to get a chance to question him today. This day has been consumed for the most part by Assistant D. A. Renee Rose ongoing examination of “Big Mo”. If Steve Sadow begins today he will not finish today, which pushes Birkhead back to testifying tomorrow, if he appears at all. Why is the sensationalized site of TMZ.com not carrying anything about “Big Mo” testifying today against Birkhead and the drugs swigged down with champagne or for that matter his apparent willingness to testify against Dr. Eroshevich about her alleged possible affair with Anna Nicole Smith? However, at other times it seems that “Big Mo” wants to then take up for Dr. Eroshevich at times in his testimony saying she was concerned for Smith also and even gave Smith placebos.
UPDATE THREE: Larry Birkhead is in the courthouse, briefly walked into the court room and then just left again, not sure why. Stay tune we don’t know if Mo’s cross examination is finished and if so what Sadow was able or willing to do without showing his full hand before the trial which is now predicted to being going to start in February or March 2010, still trying to verify that.
UPDATE LAST FOR TODAY: “Big Mo” will be back on the witness stand tomorrow morning for redirect examination by L. A. assistant D. A. Renee Rose; that is expected to last for 1 to 1 & 12/ hours. That will be followed by Larry Birkhead beginning at about 10 AM tomorrow on day four of the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Kapoop and Dr. Dr. Eroshevich.
Keep up with Rose Speaks throughout the day tomorrow as we bring you the up to minute happening in California in the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich preliminary hearing, we have several court watchers rotating in and out of the court room giving us the feel of the court, I am sure each one will have that person’s personal take of this.
