Anna Nicole roundup

Anna Nicole Smith was very sick when she died, according to the sister of Smith's partner Howard K. Stern. The former Playmate had a fever of 105 degrees and was being "iced down" by a nurse shortly before her death in Miami last Thursday. "When he left her, she was sleeping," said Stern's sister, who also says Stern had been gone about two hours when he got the news of Smith's death. "They had plans to get a yacht and to buy an engagement ring. They were going to get married Feb. 27. It was going to be a real marriage." When asked what she thought was the cause of Smith's death, Stern's sister said, "Her immunity was so low. She was so depressed. She kept getting sick and her body just probably broke down." Stern told Entertainment Tonight that he is the executor of Smith's will and that any and all inheritance will go to Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, on whose birth certificate Stern is listed as the father. Photographer Larry Birkhead, who also claims to be the father of Smith's child, told the New York Daily News that he and Smith had planned for the baby's birth, but that after they split he was left on the sidelines. "Howard has never liked me and he never wanted me and Anna to be together," Birkhead said. "After she got pregnant, things went quickly downhill because of his difference of opinion on several matters... I watched over her to make sure she was safe, and once I was basically pushed to the side. I had no control over what she did or anyone else around her did." In a bizarre twist, Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt has also stepped into the possible paternity ring, claiming he had a decade-long affair with Smith and might be her baby's father. Creating even more of a circus out of Smith's unfortunate demise, a former bodyguard, Alexander Denk, has now come forward with claims of a two-year affair with Smith and that he could possibly be Dannielynn's father. Anybody else out there have anything to confess?
