The word on the street is spokesmodel Anna Nicole Smith is quietly trying to sell tabloids her baby pictures in an attempt to raise cash, reports MSNBC's The Scoop.

The day of reckoning is fast approaching Smith, due January 23rd to submit to a paternity test by court order, meanwhile Smith has been trying to sell pictures of her baby daughter Dannielynn to the tabloid press.  Smith was recently seen and photographed in Vegas sporting two tattoos, one of the new baby, the other of her deceased son Daniel.

MSNBC's The Scoop speculates the photo sale is to help finance a new house in the Bahamas. "After she sold footage and photos of the birth to a TV show, she started seeing the child as a cash cow," says an unnamed Scoop insider. Smith is trying to maintain residency in the Bahamas, even though she has been ordered to vacate a house she rented there.

Larry Birkhead, the man who says he's Dannielynn's father and forcing Smith to submit to the paternity testing, according to The Scoop, is "outraged and "disgusted."
