Is Anna Nicole Smith pregnant?
Spokesman: 'She'll leave it up to you to guess'

Reports claim former reality TV star and Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith is pregnant.

In response, Smith's lawyer and spokesman, Howard K. Stern, issued a statement Thursday that makes the matter as clear as a blurred sonogram image.

"If Anna Nicole is pregnant, she obviously doesn't want anybody to know yet," Stern wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "If she's not pregnant, she's not denying the rumor because she thinks it's funny how much of a stir it's causing. She'll leave it up to you to guess which one it is."

Smith, 38, has a 20-year-old son, Daniel, from her first marriage. Just this week, Smith won a judgment from the Supreme Court that allows her to continue to seek part of the fortune left by her late husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. His estate has been estimated at as much as $1.6 billion.

The Supreme Court's decision, which was unanimous, brought unusual drama to the normally sedate high court.

Dressed in all black, she wept in the courtroom in late February as justices discussed Marshall and whether he had intended to provide for his young wife in death. When Smith arrived at the court, several photographers were knocked to the ground in a scuffle to photograph her.

She was a 26-year-old topless dancer when she married Marshall, then 89, in 1994. He died the following year, setting off an intense family fight.

Smith, the spokeswoman for a diet products company, had been awarded $474 million by a federal bankruptcy judge. That was later reduced by a federal district judge and then thrown out altogether by the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit. The case now goes back to California.
