Anna Nicole Smith's Judge

The wisecracking judge in the Anna Nicole Smith dispute over her remains, will resign next month according to a court spokesman. The judge, Larry Seidlin gave no specifics on his plans for the future. For months though, rumors have been rampant that he is considering a deal for a television show. I think the way he acted, he was trying out like a screen test in advance. Actually, I thought he was kind of funny myself. He'll probably get that kind of job.

Anna Nicole and Hugh Hefner

Anna Nicole Smith first appeared on the Playboy cover in March 1992 and was named Playmate of the Year in l993. She was 39 when she died of an accidental drug overdose in February. Hugh Hefner found the buxom blonde very aluring because of her presence in front of the camera. She had a Marilyn Monroe quality about her that was clear from the beginning. She talked about Marilyn all the time. She often posed as Marilyn and at a Holloween party in 2004, she came dressed in a Marilyn Monroe type outfit. She brought three men with her in tuxedos, Howard K. Stern, boyfriend, Larry Birkhead and son, Daniel. Hefner says you can take him out of the running as father of her child. He's definitely not the father of her child but the father will be announced on national news today from DNA tests that were taken. In serious fashion, Hefner's empire will offer three upcoming Smith tributes: a 10-page pictorial in the magazines's May issue, and a 60-minute retrospective on Playboy TV and an online memorial on Playboy.com. Hef turns 81 today and just celebrated his birthday with a bash in Las Vegas with his 3 girlfriends.
