Just two weeks after the mysterious death of her 20-year-old son Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole Smith has reportedly wed her lawyer Howard K. Stern in a private ceremony on board a catamaran off of Nassau in the Bahamas.
The rumored marriage, reported by Star magazine, remains unconfirmed by Smith's publicist at this time.
Howard K. Stern made the claim in a September 26th interview on the Larry King Show that he is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter, Dannie Lynn Hope, born three days before her son's tragic death on September 10th.
This claim is in conflict with the assertion by paparazzi photographer Larry Birkhead, a former boyfriend of Smith's, that he fathered the child. Birkhead told US Weekly that he is the real father of the baby girl - and he wants a paternity test to prove his claim. "I know I am the father of the child," Birkhead said in an interview on the magazine's web site. "I look forward to having a relationship with my new daughter."
If the report is true, this would be the third marriage for Anna Nicole Smith, who was previously married to Billy Wayne Smith (father of Daniel Smith) and 89-year-old Texas oil magnate E. Howard Marshall, who died in 1995. A bitter battle over his fortune led Anna Nicole to the Supreme Court earlier this year, where it was ruled she had the right to continue to pursue a legal case to claim a share of his estate.

No, I'm the father!
Will he or she now have spousal priviledge?
Two extemely, highly uninteresting, and horribly boring human beings serving no purpose. They just live for headlines. Can't they just go away?
I'm just so happy for her!
I hope she got married in a beautiful white gown.
It's just so wonderful that she married her lawyer, so that his 1/3rd cut of the spoils of her previous marriage come back into the family fold.
I wonder how much she'll hold out for to publish the pictures of their new daughter??
She has so much class, it's great to see her hooked up with her scum-bag lawyer.
May they rot in hell!
Isn't there some kind of legal protection of a spouse from the other?
"May they rot in hell!"
Triple-ditto to that, a.
Wow, another name for the little baby girl, who still isn't 3 weeks old. That's #6: Hannah, Hannah Rose, Dannie, Dannilynn Hope, Dannie Ray Hope, Dannie Lynn Hope.
At least they're getting a bit more consistently similar. Next will be the guessing game for the last name, as I noted earlier in this saga: Smith, Hogan, Marshall, Birkhead, Stern.
Theoretically, it could possibly be Dannie Lynn Hope Stern. Still think it's very creepy to not name a baby until after its only brother dies, then name it after the dead brother.
Is this so they can't TESTIFY against each other?
For some reason, the son, who was said to be a straight-A student and a good kid who never did drugs, decided just to go to rehab 8 weeks ago and that's where the methadone came from. Huh??
InTouch Magazine, whatever that is, was the publication that paid Anne Nicole £300,000 for the photos of Daniel and the baby with Anna. They said this about Daniel Smith a week ago on FOX News:
" ... In Touch found out that eight weeks prior to his death, he voluntarily entered a rehab center, a private hospital in California. When he left, he was given these two prescriptions. ..."
That is the only place I've seen or heard this about his going to rehab. So, what addiction was he kicking - and which two of the three drugs in his system did they prescribe for him? (And if they did, why do they bother to call it rehab, anyway?)
Does that rules exist in the Bahamas?
I wonder how serious she is about this marriage since Birkhead could "conceivably" be the father of the child. Stern is probably the richer of the two men.
Wouldn't it be funny if a DNA test showed that neither of them was the father?
As interest, I just saw an article that said it wasn't a legal marrigage, they just "made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other's strength during this difficult time, now and always,"

This appears to be the most recent thread posted about Anna Nicole's son's death, so I'm adding that apparently he is about to be buried today, but in The Bahamas rather than in the plot Anna Nicole bought for him in Hollywood, next to Marilyn Monroe's crypt.
Tabloid TV show "The Insider" just showed the grave that had been dug and a big green tent canopy that goes over it, then interviews with her "best friend" guy in L.A., who was allegedly in the airport on his way to Nassau for the alleged funeral.
Daniel is being buried in casual clothes - jeans and T-shirt - with a trucker's cap on his head which he wore all the time, plus ANS put a 2nd baseball cap in the casket, allegedly.
Hmmm, they just ended the show saying "he has been put to rest, finally." So, I guess it has allegedly now happened.
