E! Reality Show Marks New Heights In Dannielynn- sploitation Vehicles
Having had to evacuate Anna Nicole Smith's Coldwater Canyon residence after a freak cotton-candy-machine accident swept the home up in a cyclone of flossy, pink destruction, beleaguered babydaddy Larry Birkhead is left to pick up the pieces. For starters, that means taking work where he can find it—and in this dire economic environment, there just aren't many openings for 1-year-old-baby party planners. So Birkhead has relented and agreed to take the questionable step of laying bare his life, and the life of daughter Dannielynn, for the E! reality cameras. More »

Anna Nicole's Ex Buys Lingerie for Their One-Year-Old Daughter, A Nation Squirms

Five Tragic Tell-Alls From Celebrity Kin Looking To Cash In
Time to mark your calendars: Lynne Spears, mother of Britney and Jamie Lynn, has an official September release date for her memoir about raising two of the world’s most tabloid-friendly children, Through The Storm: A Real Story About Family And Fame In A Tabloid World. In the book, Spears will supposedly take the Dina Lohan route and disguise motherly resentment as motherly love and “express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes,” according to the publisher, who specializes in “inspirational books and Bibles.” But how rosy and cozy can the tome’s description of family life be with a title referring to said life as a “storm”? And given the nature of celebrity family members' tell-alls in the past, coupled with the assurance that this will not be “a parenting book,” we certainly hope Lynne follows in the footsteps of Nancy Aniston and Virgie Arthur by revealing a bit more dirt than the rote "Britney And Jamie Lynn Were Perfect Angels" tales (given the fact that they’re, um, not these days). We took a closer look at five of the most trash-talking tell-alls from stars’ estranged and/or envious relatives to whet our appetite in the meantime: More »

'Anna Nicole' Eclipses 'Indy 4' As 2008's Most Anticipated Release
We suppose some might dispute Nasser Entertainment's bold claim that Anna Nicole is "the most anticipated motion picture of the year." Still, after watching Bad Girl of Pop Willa Ford's complete and uncompromising transformation into the nonagenarian-sexing bombshell, we will concede that the movie has just shot up our 2008 Must-See List. Something about the way Ford captures Anna's baby-gurgle voice in the line, "I wanna be the next Marilyn Monroehrmphuh," coupled with the movie's Showgirls-on-no-budget production values, makes us feel like the bigwigs at Nasser really nailed this one, producing the kind of instant camp-o-tainment Anna Nicole herself would have starred in had she not been taken from us too soon.

Dannielynn Hope Birkhead, now 18-months-old, has been named sole heir to the Anna Nicole Smith estate by an L.A. Superior Court judge yesterday, as well as the beneficiary of a newly established trust. Larry Birkhead and estate-executor Howard K. Stern are—you guessed it—the co-trustees, a new responsibility which we can only imagine will further prevent them from putting a fucking tombstone on Anna Nicole's grave. [usatoday.com]

One Year After Anna Nicole's Death, Birkhead And Stern Still Finding Ways She Can Make Money
On February 8, 2007, a devastated Defamer was glued to CNN, following Dr. Sanjay Gupta and the rest of AnnaDeath 360° team as they offered breathless updates on the not-entirely-shocking (yet still pretty traumatic) loss of Anna Nicole Smith. And yet here we are, a full year later, and Hollywood seems doomed to repeat its trainwreck-glamorizing mistakes. Meanwhile, Smith's legacy carries on via the creepy gentleman-callers who dotted the love polygon that defined much of her life. Larry Birkhead, we well know through a series of soul-deadening The Insider exclusives, has been adjusting to life with his money-pooping paternity jackpot, most recently having plopped the toddler on a patch of grass he assured us was Anna Nicole's resting place, and successfully baby-wrangled his daughter into saying the word "mama" for their cameras.

Exclusive: Scientology 'Straight'ening Closeted Actors For Years, Says Author
Is Scientology just a fancy term for reparation therapy? That's what investigative journalist Ian Halperin, author of books on Kurt Cobain's death and the underbelly of the modeling world, is claiming in his new tome, Hollywood Undercover, out today. After claiming to be a gay actor afraid that revelations of his homosexuality would ruin his career, the Church took him in, promising they could "cure him of his sexuality through auditing,"or, you know, asking him to pay up. We asked Halperin if he had any dirt on the usual suspects (Tommy C. and Johnny T., natch), and learned way more than we wanted to. Hear why Travolta remains a smiley scientologist out of fear, why bisexual Anna Nicole Smith refused to join the tribe, and details on founder L. Ron Hubbard's proven contempt for these "sexual perverts" after the jump. More » -

Well, that took long enough: The Bahamian inquiry into Daniel Smith's death concluded Anna Nicole's son died of a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft, and Lexapro—exactly what the independent coroner's report stated shortly after his death, and, we're hoping, not among the many things we put into our bodies over our Xmas-cheeriest weekend yet!

Creepy Men Who Define Themselves Through Their Associations To Anna Nicole Celebrate Her 40th Birthday

As ever-tabloid-present in death as she was in her drug-addled years on Earth, Entertainment Tonight commemorates the posthumous milestone by approaching the two most essential mapping points on the love-polygon that defined much of her life—Stern and Larry Birkhead: More » -

Rita Cosby's $60 Mil Book Party Ambush
Consistent with yesterday's reports that Howard K. Stern would be suing Blonde Ambition author Rita Cosby for defamation of character, the crusader for tabloid justice was served yesterday with a hefty lawsuit moments before she made her grand entrance at the book launch party being thrown in her honor. Asking if the stack of legal papers is a "love letter from [Stern attorney] Lin Wood," Cosby puts on a brave face for The Insider's cameras, insisting she stands by her allegations that Stern was a Larry-diddling prescription Pez-dispenser somewhere in the realm of an astounding 110 - 120 percent.

Tabloid Baby Milestones: Dannielynn Turns One
We thought we'd take a moment to put aside the scurrilous claims of videotaped, babydaddy-on-executor action being made in Rita Cosby's tell-all, and instead focus on this Insider footage of a 1st birthday party thrown for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead by doting pop Larry. (In Cosby's defense, between the "pink ballerina tutu" and "little girl pearls," this party was pretty gay, even for a one-year-old girl's birthday.) We know it's a cliché to say, but it really amazes us how quickly highly exploitable children grow up: It seems like only yesterday that The Insider was showing us exclusive images of Dannielynn being pried out of her mother's stomach in their heartwarming C-section birthing video.

When Howard Met Larry: Rita Cosby Drops A Dirty Bomb
Last week, we were teased with news of "shocking" material contained within the pages of former MSNBC host Rita Cosby's bombshell-laden new book, Blond Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death. For a conspiracy-hungry public who never quite warmed to Howard K. Stern's svengali-like presence and his sudden coziness with overly highlighted babydaddy Larry Birkhead, it instantly conjured up a host of sordid scenarios—everything from lusty man-on-man trysts to black market baby sales, from systematic bimbo-druggings to involuntary face-painting.
