Anna Nicole Smith has died according to ABC News

[onyx]

That will won't fly.

[A Citizen Reporter]

That commitment ceremony story was a load of hog wash.

And if you believe him, Anna called all the shots, and Howard followed. I don't believe him.

He is as crooked as Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight"

Interesting that they both noted that Thompson had a vasectomy but they didn't argue the point with ANS when she reportedly told them that she had made certain that the baby was his and the woman said ANS later told her the baby is Birkhead's.

Recall that ANS was claiming that Thompson (former boyfriend) had given her the house. Sounds like HKS intended to see that Thompson was never repaid, but they'll have e-mails to prove otherwise, provided they are telling the truth, and I'll wager they are.

I hope you're watching Greta.

I was so torn tonight as to what I should watch but ended up watching 24 with my husband. Now I've missed everything that's been going on with the ANS story. I'm catching up now with the re-run of Nancy Grace.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Here is the part I didn't understand. Why (did they say) that she moved to the Bahamas in the first place?

I heard him mention something about how the laws deal with unwed mothers, but I didn't quite understand.

Set your recorder or TIVO to record the Greta replay. Loads of information.

Right, unwed mother law (whatever that means) --- and apparently she was broke and Thompson offered her a place to stay....

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Thanks!

[onyx]

Yeah --- he's selling "his" story and it's only selling because he has the baby.

[onyx]

It's "must see TV" --- for us. :0)

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I've got Greta on right now. When she gets on a story, she's usually relentless.

[stlnative]

well here are the laws in the Bahamas on ESTABLISHMENT OF PATERNITY (how they are different than the USA I don't know)

http://laws.bahamas.gov.bs/Statutes/statute_CHAPTER_130.html

[stlnative]

The last line of this leaves me to believe that Birkhead would have a chance to request that a DNA test be court ordered on the baby in the Bahamas.

7. (1) Unless the contrary is proven on a balance of probabilities, there is a presumption that a male person is, and shall be recognised in law to be, the father of a child in any one of the following circumstances-
Presumptions of paternity.

(a)the person was married to the mother of the child at the time of its birth;
(b)the person was married to the mother of the child and that marriage was terminated by death or judgment of nullity within 280 days before the birth of the child, or by divorce where the decree nisi was granted within 280 days before the birth of the child;
(c)the person marries the mother of the child after the birth of the child and acknowledges that he is the natural father;
(d)the person was cohabiting with the mother of the child in a relationship of some permanence at the time of the birth of the child, or the child is born within 280 days after they ceased to cohabit;
(e)the person has been adjudged or recognised in his lifetime by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the father of the child;
(f)the person has, by affidavit sworn before a justice of the peace or a notary public or by other document duly attested and sealed, together with a declaration by the mother of the child contained in the same instrument confirming that the person is the father of the child, admitted paternity, but such affidavit or other document shall be of no effect unless it has been recorded with the Registrar General;
(g)the person has acknowledged in proceedings for registration of the child, in accordance with the law relating to the registration of births, that he is the father of the child;
(h)the mother of the child and a person acknowledging that he is the father of the child have signed and executed a deed to this effect in the presence of a counsel and attorney, but such a deEd shall be of no effect unless it is notarised and recorded with the Registrar General prior to the death of the person acknowledging himself to be the father;
(i)a person who is alleged to be the father of the child has given written consent to that child adopting his name in accordance with the law relating to the change of name; or
(j)a person who is alleged to be the father of the child has by his conduct implicitly and consistently acknowledged that he is the father of the child.

I also watched 24 (hooked) and am now catching up on ANS. Seems like alot came out tonight...a couple things...excellent that the Donald is entering the fray and firing the first salvo at HK$ 'strangeness.' Also, on the celeb blogs, HK$ is really being implicated in the court of public opinion...and he is taking Stienes (of Entertainment Tonight) down with him. How long til ET cuts their losses?

[Arizona Carolyn]

No, 24. Will catch Gretta in re-run. She said she had some good stuff for tonight.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Svengali, Rasputin, there is any number of descriptive terms for this man, none of them good. Remember how Rasputin managed to get control and do his dirty deeds.

[onyx]

It's must see TV --- you'll be surprised.

[Jrabbit]

hmmmm.....so many people explaining how HKS kept people away from Anna....I bet he wasn't too happy when Daniel showed up in the Bahamas. Anna seemed to have genuine love for her son. HKS might have not liked that relationship, so.....

[Arizona Carolyn]

Yes, I remember that interview.
