From TMZ.com:

TMZ has learned that Anna Nicole Smith confessed during her pregnancy that Larry Birkhead was the father of her baby.

Sources tell TMZ that late last year, Anna Nicole began having sexual relations with Gaither Ben Thompson, a wealthy real estate developer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We're told that Howard K. Stern, the lawyer who claims to be the father of Anna Nicole's newborn baby, was in Myrtle Beach during the time Anna Nicole was seeing Thompson. Remember, Stern has said he had a long-term relationship with Anna Nicole, which seems odd given that Stern accompanied Smith to Myrtle Beach.

Sources say in May of this year, Anna Nicole contacted Thompson to say that he was the father of her soon-to-be-born baby girl. It's especially interesting because we're told that Anna Nicole had contacted people familiar with Thompson inquiring about his wealth. That's when Thompson dropped a bombshell -- that it was impossible for him to father a baby because he had already had a vasectomy. Days later, sources say Anna Nicole confessed to Thompson that Larry Birkhead was the father. Birkhead, an entertainment photographer who had a relationship with Anna Nicole, has filed legal papers in Los Angeles to establish paternity.

And there's a new twist to this story. Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern have been staying in one of Thompson's houses in the Bahamas. Anna Nicole has established legal residency in the Bahamas under the premise that she owned a home. Tracy Ferguson, Thompson's lawyer, tells TMZ that her client sold one of his homes to Anna Nicole on credit, but she has never been paid a cent. Ferguson says Anna Nicole is in default and Thompson wants her out.

If the Bahamian government believes the alleged home purchase was a scam to gain residency, Anna Nicole could be deported.

Howard K. Stern, Anna's lawyer and rep, could not be reached for comment.

I know she doesn't have nearly as much money as people think, hence the trimspa infomercials, but this is taking a hillbilly Courtney-twist. She should start liquidating some assets (Range Rovers, diamonds, ranch in River Oaks which her family's probably living in, etc.) or think about filing for bankruptcy if she doesn't want to pay this guy child support. She could get clean and prove she's a fit mother, but that's not gonna happen. I trust her minder[s]/lawyer, regardless of how exploitative they are, but this will get interesting in the next few months.

And lol @ how she got punk'd by the vasectomied guy... I hear he was mad old, like in his seventies.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww. Just ewwwww. This chick is insane.

Anna Nicole Smith’s Halloween Deadline
Anna Nicole Smith is being evicted.

The former Playboy Playmate was served notice to leave the house where she
has been staying in the Bahamas since the death of her son, Daniel, last
month.

G. Ben Thompson, a Myrtle Beach developer who owes the property has given
Anna Nicole until October 31 to vacate the home.

The notice was served on last Friday (10.20.06) by an attorney representing
Thompson, who bought the house for $1 million in August. Thompson claims he
was under the impression she would buy it.

He explained to People magazine: "She said it was a gift. I never said that.
I don't have that kind of money. I don't want to embarrass or humiliate her.
I just need my money, or collateral, back."

Meanwhile, Anna Nicole's half-sister has hit out at her sister calling her a
"waste of a human being."

Anna Nicole's estranged sister, Donna Hogan, has co-written a book entitled
'Train Wreck: Anna Nicole Smith Unauthorized' in which she blames the former
Playboy playmate for the death of her 20-year-old son Daniel.

Hogan writes: "Anna waits forever to bury him and two days after he dies,
she's selling pictures of him to the tabloids and I'm thinking, 'What a
freaking waste of a human being, my sister is.'"

Daniel - who had a heart attack after taking a lethal cocktail of
prescription drugs - died at his mother's hospital bedside in the Bahamas
last month (09.06) just days after she had given birth to a baby daughter,
Dannie Lynn Hope.

According to Hogan's book, Smith "doesn't even know who the father of her
children is," and suggests the newborn's father could be her late husband,
millionaire J. Howard Marshall, because Smith "always talked of freezing the
old man's sperm".

Anna Nicole skips paternity meeting
Larry Birkhead’s attorney requested meeting to determine child’s father
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Anna Nicole Smith didn’t appear Monday for a meeting in the Bahamas requested by the lawyer for an ex-boyfriend who claims he is the father of her 6-week-old daughter.

Photographer Larry Birkhead has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking a court order to demand Smith bring the baby to California for a paternity test. Her attorneys have argued the court does not have appropriate jurisdiction.

Debra Opri, a lawyer for Birkhead who traveled from Los Angeles to take a deposition from Smith in the Bahamas, said she would use Smith’s nonappearance Monday to argue for dismissal of that challenge.
