An ex-boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith who is serving a six-year sentence for making criminal threats against her wants a piece of her inheritance, according to documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court.
Mark Hatten, who lists his current address as the Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, dated Smith in 2000 but was later found guilty of threatening her with a knife and assaulting one of her neighbors. He was acquitted of stalking her.
He filed his claim Wednesday in Superior Court.
Repeated calls Friday to his representatives were not returned.
Hatten’s Web site says he is writing a memoir entitled “Hollywood Bad Boy: Sex, Drugs, and Anna Nicole.”
Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. He died in 1995.
The reality TV star and former Playboy Playmate of the Year had fought Marshall’s family over his estimated $500 million fortune from his death until her own death earlier this year.

For those who can’t get enough of the Debra Opri’s dogfight against Larry Birkhead, we offer The Court Documents detailing the judge’s recent rejection of all 25 grounds Larry’s ex-attorney offered as reasons why her fee dispute should be arbitrated, rather than go to trial.
Sorry, Ms. Opri, said the judge, upholding his earliar ruling, but he expects to see you in court for a pre-trial conference Dec. 20 to set the stage for a jury trial to settle the $620,000 legal bill you sent Larry, and how much you may get to keep, if anything.

I always wondered if the neighbor who was assaulted was KE.
Believe it or not, this was the #2 lead story on our local morning TV news today, for some odd reason - with lots and lots of clips of ANS and HKS through the years. (None of *Hollywood Mark,* however.)
Very weird!
