Oh, good grief.

I thought I was going to be able to stay away from mentioning anything about the sad passing of Anna Nicole Smith. But even in death, she can't escape the weirdness of the life she made for herself.

I feel like I need to take a shower now.

I don't at all understand the intricacies of the law, but shouldn't the baby's paternity be a straightforward issue that can be resolved with DNA profiles?

Well, it would seem so. What's going to be really bad is if it's not any of the three putative fathers who've come forwards to date.

Well see if (the other) Howard Stern isn't the dad and knows it, it is in his best interest to keep the kid out of the US and deny paternity testing. He is a lawyer, after all...he probably just wants to make sure he's justly compensated before turning over his meal tick, er, love child to the real dad.

I foresee a 3 hour live TV event leading up to Ryan Seacrest announcing who the real Dad is. The very sad part is that people will be watching.

Skillzy,

Perhaps the name of the three-hour TV event could be Billion Dollar Baby? (I have no real idea as to how much the value of that estate would be.)
