ANNA NICOLE'S DOC WROTE ABOUT KISSING HER IN DIARY

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A doctor charged with illegally funneling drugs to Anna Nicole Smith wrote in a personal diary that he had to get off drugs himself and wondered if he was wrong to kiss Smith at a party four years ago.

Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry read the explosive entries from a diary of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor on Wednesday at a preliminary hearing to determine whether Kapoor and two co-defendants should stand trial.Kapoor's lawyer previously said he was gay and objected to prosecutors' allegations that he had a sexual relationship with the former Playboy model thatcould have contributed to him prescribing drugs for her.

However, Kapoor's diary entry on June 13, 2005, seemed to confirm what prosecutors said they saw in video and photographs taken at a party around that time. The judge has ruled against showing the video in court."I was making out with Anna, my patient, blurring the lines," the judge read from Kapoor's diary. "I gave her methadone, Valium. Can she ruin me?"The entry also recounted his ride with Smith in a gay pride parade before the party, with six police officerskeeping back the paparazzi. "It was mesmerizing. ... Anna and me up there all buffed out on the car," the entry said.In an excerpt from Nov. 17, 2002, Kapoor wrote, "I also need to get off the drugs. The Buspar, Wellbutrin have to go. But first the Ambien has got to go. Oh God, it's so addicting. I have to get off that (expletive)."Kapoor later prescribed Ambien for Smith, according to testimony.Kapoor, Dr. Kristine Eroshevich and Smith's boyfriend-lawyer Howard K. Stern are charged with conspiringto illegally provide controlled substances to Smith, who died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007.

The allegations include giving drugs to an addict.All three have pleaded not guilty.Kapoor's lawyer, Ellyn Garofalo, displayed the journal in court and elicited testimony from an investigator that it ended in 2005 and that the comment read in court was the only mention of Smith.Earlier in the day, a medical board investigator testified that Kapoor kept a hidden stash of Smith's medical records in his home that included references to possible drug addictions.However, Gagne stood by earlier testimony that Kapoor gave Smith excessive dosages of opiates and sedatives.
