This Week: Revelations
If we didn't think the Anna Nicole Smith story was strange enough, this week's revelations — whether they prove true or not — would make the Playboy pinup even more absurd in death than she was in life.
Multiple men, from Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband to photographer Larry Birkhead to Smith's ex-bodyguard, are claiming to be the father of Smith's baby daughter. But that is a court battle for the future. The one being fought now involves Smith's body and who gets to bury it.
It came to light this week that Smith's former nanny signed an affidavit that stated the TrimSpa spokeswoman wanted her 5-month-old daughter to receive less than the normal amount of food so that she could be "sexy." And a photo, purportedly of the refrigerator in Smith's Bahamas home, contained not only cans of a rival diet product but a bottle of methadone — the same drug that was found in her son's system after he died. Danielle Steel couldn't dream this stuff up.
Before Smith died last week, pop star Britney Spears was raising eyebrows with her celebrity high jinks.
Anna Nicole Smith: The Latest Photos
Since her divorce, Spears has been doing some late-night partying and making some not-so-lady-like exits from vehicles. She was back to revealing a little more than was asked when she decided to disrobe and try on a dancer's bikini at a Manhattan nightclub. She stayed barely clad for the rest of the night, revealing what much of America has already seen.
For almost as long as he has been famous, country star Kenny Chesney has been rumored to be gay. In a "60 Minutes" TV interview, Chesney tells the world that he is straight and explains why the word "fraud" was checked on the separation document filed by Renee Zellweger.
Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston announced that, as close as they are, they didn't use tongue in their much publicized kiss on Cox's show "Dirt."
Sports Illustrated unveiled the cover of its famous swimsuit issue, which shows the world more of Beyoncé's bootylicious body.
From the wild to the mild, star-gazers learned a lot this week. But, as the Anna Nicole saga continues to unfold, they still may have a lot to learn.
