Anna Nicole Smith confessed that Larry Birkhead was the father of her baby

TMZ has learned that Anna Nicole Smith confessed during her pregnancy that Larry Birkhead was the father of her baby.

Sources tell TMZ that late last year, Anna Nicole began having sexual relations with Gaither Ben Thompson, a wealthy real estate developer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We're told that Howard K. Stern, the lawyer who claims to be the father of Anna Nicole's newborn baby, was in Myrtle Beach during the time Anna Nicole was seeing Thompson. Remember, Stern has said he had a long-term relationship with Anna Nicole, which seems odd given that Stern accompanied Smith to Myrtle Beach.

Sources say in May of this year, Anna Nicole contacted Thompson to say that he was the father of her soon-to-be-born baby girl. It's especially interesting because we're told that Anna Nicole had contacted people familiar with Thompson inquiring about his wealth. That's when Thompson dropped a bombshell -- that it was impossible for him to father a baby because he had already had a vasectomy. Days later, sources say Anna Nicole confessed to Thompson that Larry Birkhead was the father. Birkhead, an entertainment photographer who had a relationship with Anna Nicole, has filed legal papers in Los Angeles to establish paternity.

And there's a new twist to this story. Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern have been staying in one of Thompson's houses in the Bahamas. Anna Nicole has established legal residency in the Bahamas under the premise that she owned a home. Tracy Ferguson, Thompson's lawyer, tells TMZ that her client sold one of his homes to Anna Nicole on credit, but has never been paid a cent. Ferguson says Anna Nicole is in default and Thompson wants her out.

If the Bahamian government believes the alleged home purchase was a scam to gain residency, Anna Nicole could be deported.

Howard K. Stern, Anna's lawyer and rep, could not be reached for comment.

Can she get any trashier?....I think so!

**LynnieD** · October 23rd, 2006, 05:47 PM

Just when you think you've heard it all......nope!
Sounds to me that she is basically looking for the highest bidder in a way.

**SunShine23** · October 23rd, 2006, 05:56 PM

^^definitely! She slept with that Thompson dude to get $$$. wow, she is insane.

**Elvira** · October 23rd, 2006, 06:08 PM

I heard that this Thompson guy paid for the house in the Bahamas and she was
suposed to pay him back or start payming rent.
She hasn't paid a penny yet and he's thinking of having her evicted.

**LynnieD** · October 23rd, 2006, 06:23 PM

OOoooooo Anna evicted!! Even better!! That'll learn her for being such a money grubber!

It makes me sad because there is a sweet little girl who will be caught in the middle of this chaos for the rest of her life. Sounds like ANS does need Maury afterall.

I would too, I feel so sorry for this poor little girl. Why don't these fucking people ever seem to think of their children first - hell even second or third??

**GawsipRawksz** · October 24th, 2006, 06:52 AM

because they are still children themselves.

Yea, that kid needs to be taken away immediately. It's becoming increasingly obvious that all Anna is interested in is: MONEY. I know, I know, we have known this all along, yet, lets review the last few weeks (and feel free to add things I have forgotten). She moves to the Bahamas and stays w/a friend for free to escape the alleged real father of her baby, she hawks pix of her dead son only days after his death, she hawks pix of her 'wedding' only days after that, and she apparently was trying to basically pin this baby on the man that had the biggest bank account. NICE.
This chick is fucked up beyond belief.
