Prince Frederic von Anhalt in Berlin. Prince Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, had a decade-long affair with Anna Nicole Smith and may be her daughter's father, according to reports on Friday, 09 February 2007.. EPA/Andreas AltweinIs Dannielynn's father Howard K. Stern, Smith's lawyer who she claimed to have married in recent months? Is it Larry Birkhead, Smith's former lover? Or is it somebody else, enter Zsa Zsa Gabor's nutter husband, who claims he had an affair with Smith, or even the deceased J. Howard Marshall, the multi-millionaire Smith married years ago?The stunning disclosures have been partially revealed by Anna's sister Donna Hogan and reprinted by the Daily News.Hogan alleges that her sister "froze the sperm of 90-year-old J. Howard Marshall years ago," and believes that is what Anna used to become pregnant.The former Playmate's ex beau Larry Birkhead claims he is the father of baby Dannielynn - the little girl who is poised to inherit up to half of Marshall's $1.6 billion fortune.They weren't the only ones laying claim to billion dollar baby Dannielynn yesterday. Smith's mother, Vergie Arthur, flew to the Bahamas yesterday to see her grandchild for the first time. The infant had been left in friends' care in the Bahamas.The topper was Zsa Zsa Gabor's crazy husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, claiming he fathered Smith's daughter. A publicist for Gabor, 90, said von Anhalt "was full of it."But even the battle to be named the father of Dannielynn was overshadowed by the claims in Donna Hogan's manuscript.In the new, yet to be published book "Train Wreck" - written with author Stacy Brown - Hogan says: "I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's J. Howard's. She saved his sperm after all and that maybe [sic] her trump card in her fight to get the old man's estate."Hogan wrote that Smith was "seeing into the future. ... She takes Howard in to have his sperm tested. When the results show that he is still fertile, she has a quantity of his sperm frozen."Hogan wrote that when her half-sister announced she was pregnant, she refused to name the father."To her family, she hinted that she had used the old man's frozen sperm, and would be giving birth to Howard Marshall's child," the manuscript claims, reports the Daily News.Hogan had less than kind words for her dead sister. "That's my sister for you. That b---h probably doesn't even know who the father is. Soon she'll probably say it's J. Howard's," Hogan wrote.Hogan could not be reached for comment yesterday, but in an interview with "Inside Edition" she said, "I don't want people to talk about the crazy stuff. ... I want them to remember her for being full of life."Hogan retells the story of how her sister met "Old Man Howard" at a Houston strip club called Gigi's, where Smith worked as a stripper and the wheelchair-bound geriatric was a club regular."For several weeks, she played hard to get, before agreeing to grant him special favors outside the club," she wrote in her manuscript.Smith married Marshall in 1994 when she was 26 and he was 89 - over the vociferous objections of Marshall's son, E. Pierce Marshall.After the wedding, Hogan alleged "Vickie" - Anna's real name - treated her husband "like a dog.""She refused to allow him to lie next to her, stating that he would urinate in bed," Hogan he wrote.Allegedly Smith "tore through Marshall's finances" buying jewelry, houses, luxury cars while rampant infidelities were heaped "with household servants, girlfriends and married men."Hogan alleges Anna dragged Marshall out to dinner even though he was ill and "left J. Howard in his wheelchair in the rain.""Do you miss your rosebuds?" Smith said at one encounter with breasts bared and a tape recorder running, Hogan wrote."Train Wreck" details Hogan's account that Marshall "clearly loved Vickie," and that he called her almost daily, calls she allegedly ignored. "On the night before he died, J. Howard refused Vickie's phone call. He died tired of Vickie," Hogan wrote.Marshall's death in 1995 set off a titan sized court battle for his $1.6 billion estate that still continues.

Who do you think the baby's father is?
I think it's Larry Birdhead's. Baby seems like a redhead. No way she is Howard Stern's.

OMG Anna Nicole Smith's life had more twists & turns: mysterious men, mysterious deaths, a mysterious birth & just plain MYSTERY! Today, media news have pics of her bed-side refrigerator....what was in it. YUP you guessed it - a mystery of all sorts. A big jug of Methodone, cans & cans of SlimFast & a box of Trimspa. Anna's life was more questionable then any Agatha Christie or John Grisham combined NOVELS could ever be. For those of you who don't know who Agatha Christie is...she was ever infamous writer well known for her mystery investigative 'who don't it' type Books! But nothing compares to Anna Nicole Smith's life. Good Lord!!

Another interesting question or turn in the Anna Nicole Smith saga is this Prince fellow (Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband)who was sleeping with Anna all these years. Why would Howard K Stern claim to love Anna SO MUCH that he would do anything for her -but at the same time Anna was sleeping with many many men like, Larry Birkhead etc while in Howard's company. Huh?????? This is sooooo weird. I've never heard or read anything like this> OK obviously the money is a factor BUT STILL. It's crazy!
