Howard K. Stern Talks to 'GMA' About Anna Nicole Smith and His Overturned Drug Conviction (VIDEO)

Howard K. Stern gave an exclusive interview to 'Good Morning America' (Weekdays, 7AM on ABC) today, speaking about his time with former girlfriend Anna Nicole Smith, who died of an accidental overdose in 2007. Stern's conviction on drug conspiracy charges, which stemmed from his using phony names to obtain prescription drugs for Smith, was overturned last week.

Stern remembered Smith fondly, saying she was sweet, smart, and had a good heart. "To me, she was everything," he said. He also addressed the court case, and how he struggled to clear his name in its aftermath. "It was difficult, because I knew what the truth was, but at the same time, I knew what the perception of me was in the media."

Stern, a lawyer himself, said he was thankful for his own attorney's help in overturning his conviction, and thinks he wants to pursue similar work in the future. "I think what I want to do is do criminal defense work," he said. "I want to be able to help people."
