Anna Nicole Smith's former boyfriend Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor all entered not guilty pleas in court today in response to new charges connected to the death of the late model/actress.

Stern, along with Eroshevich and Kapoor appeared in a Los Angeles court today to formally hear the charges, and all three were charged with an illegal conspiracy to prescribe, administer and dispense controlled substances to an addict. Stern faces 11 felony counts, while the doctors were charged with six each.

The three were charged with conspiring to give Smith drugs earlier this year, but prosecutors revised the felony counts based on the latest details from the investigation. The three defendants previously entered not guilty pleas to those charges, and at a press conference today Stern's attorney, Steve Sadow called the charges against his client "BS," adding that Anna's health was Howard's "main concern."

A preliminary hearing is set for next month.
