DNA separates the blanks from the bullets

DNA daddy

The unending saga of the life and death of Anna Nicole Smith continues with interest as the twists and turns of that turbulent life produces more fodder for the press.

Her 6-month old daughter was born in the Bahamas with her lawyer Howard K. Stern listed as father of the child in the birth documents.

This billion dollar baby, at least potentially, depending on how the estate of her mother resolves is the key to a life-changing experience for whoever ends up the guardian and father of this diamond.

At least 4 men came forward claiming paternity of the child, but the lawyer who happens to have the death touch of witnessing the death of both his "step-son" and lover seems to have been shooting blanks.

The real bullets belong to Larry Birkhead an entertainment photojournalist who claimed all along that "The girl is mine".

So Dannielynn (Named after big brother) Hope (For anyone who becomes my daddy) Marshall (Where my fortune is) Stern (Messed up my mummy's life) is going to become a Birkhead (My real daddy) once custody is sorted out in the courts - come on - DNA says he is the father, what can be the problem?

Meanwhile, we need the National Guard protecting that child just in case Mr. Stern has the additional misfortune of witnessing another death.

Like a candle in the wind

Another sad story

I was not a fan, but I was shocked to heard that Anna Nicole Smith had died at 39 in her hotel in Florida.

Somehow, once again, this is woman who when a girl had a dream to be a beautiful successful woman, regardless of her background.

Like the American Dream, she got noticed, found opportunity, lived lucky and gained fortune and fame all of which came with their different difficulties and tragedies including the death of her son just a few months ago in seemingly suspicious circumstances in Bahamas.

Apart from being Playmate of the year 1993, she gained greater notoriety with her marriage to a man 63 years older than her and in marrying into a great oil fortune had to fight a vigorous legal battle for the man’s estate when he died 14 months later.

The heir who gave her the most run for the money predeceased her just after the Supreme Court gave her the right to contest a share of the fortune of her late billionaire husband.

Like those women before her, it seems to me she lived her life, like a candle in wind, Marilyn Monroe at 36 and Princess Diana at 36, the lives they all lit up then, now grieve in the darkness of smiles now gone.

Their candles have burned out long before, their legends ever will.

Strength and fortitude to those she left behind especially the little baby girl, may she rest in peace.
