...doctor, but [is] enabling Michael Jackson to get access to drugs knowing that he shouldn't have access to them, that person can be charged with some kind of criminal conspiracy," says Rosenbluth, citing the current case against Howard K. Stern and two physicians stemming from the death of Anna Nicole Smith. "Two of her doctors were charged, but Stern, who was not a doctor, was charged as well because he was alleged to have gotten prescriptions for her under his own name, knowing that they were for her, which is against the law. He was alleged to have conspired...
...Andrew, a wife, even a nice one like Anna, is by definition a ball and chain. Arriving uninvited and unannounced in the middle of the night, he is wildly enthusiastic, proclaiming his love for Ben with ferocious bear hugs and many "I love you, man"s. Anna he waggles his finger at, telling her, "And you. I don't love you yet, but I will." (This might be a threat.) Her eyebrows arch delicately, conveying not just mild horror but consternation over her own reaction. She knows she's too cool to be ruffled and jealous...

Each has other legitimate fears: Ben of feeling limited, even as he adores Anna, and Andrew of being a poseur (which he is, but Leonard makes us care for him). Anna has fears too. The truth is, the distance between these men is likely to grow, and she doesn't want to get the blame for that...
...Anna is also intuitive enough to understand that there is an attraction between Ben and Andrew. Most likely, it's just about personality, but Shelton suggests at times that there might be something more to it. Ben and Andrew are like a pair of little boys, pummeling each other constantly to make contact. Watching them in an angry wrestling match after a competitive basketball game, you start to think that maybe they should make out, crazy as it seems. That's the power of this subversive movie; it challenges us as much as it challenges its own characters. Humpday makes...
