Her son's death is still being investigated, her attorney quit after a public falling-out, she's locked in a paternity battle over her newborn daughter and unless she comes up with an exorbitant amount of money in the very near future, she may get kicked out of her house.

Now, capping a brutal month and a half, Anna Nicole Smith has been hospitalized.

The onetime Playboy Playmate is being treated for pneumonia at Nassau's Doctors Hospital, it was announced Tuesday.

"She has a slight case of pneumonia," her new Bahamian attorney, Wayne Munroe, told the Associated Press. "We've had a sudden change of weather here due to a cold snap."

Munroe told the wire service the 38-year-old model was hospitalized as precautionary measure, because she recently gave birth. "I didn't gather it was anything serious," he added.

The Bahama mama is being treated at the same private facility where both her daughter, Dannielynn, was born and her son, Daniel, died last month.

Smith has yet to leave the islands since then, as news headlines and legal actions continue to mount.

On Monday, the saga continued, as a closed hearing was held in Los Angeles concerning the paternity lawsuit Larry Birkhead filed demanding Smith and Dannielynn return to California and undergo both DNA and drug testing. Birkhead claims he fathered the child, not Smith's current beau, Howard K. Stern.

Last week, Birkhead also lodged a legal complaint a little closer to Smith's home—at least, her temporary home. The former paparazzo's Bahamas-based counsel filed a civil fraud and conspiracy suit against Smith and Stern Thursday, accusing the couple of wrongfully listing Stern's name on Dannielynn's birth certificate.

Birkhead has even suggested that Smith has dyed Dannielynn's hair to disguise her resemblance to him.

Smith has denied Birkhead's allegations. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 8 challenging a would-be order for her and her nearly two-month-old baby to return to California to undergo testing.

In the meantime, the validity of Smith's residency in the Bahamas is also being questioned.

The TrimSpa hawker was granted permanent residency after supposedly purchasing a home on the islands. However, last week, a South Carolina-based developer stepped forward, claiming he owned the million-dollar waterfront mansion and that he would evict Smith & Co. unless she began making mortgage payments, prompting Smith to file a lawsuit.

As for the unresolved death of her 20-year-old son, Daniel, on Sept. 10, Bahamian officials have yet to release their toxicology tests or the results of a preliminary investigation by police.

However, tests done by Smith's private pathologist indicate that the young man died from a lethal combination of antidepressants and methadone. He was interred in a Nassau cemetery earlier this month.

Anna Nicole Smith leaves the U.S. Supreme Court ...

NASSAU, Bahamas - Anna Nicole Smith remained hospitalized Friday as she had fluid drained from a partially collapsed lung while recovering from pneumonia, her attorney said.
"She's doing a lot better, but when you would have a collapsed lung, they would keep you in," attorney Wayne Munroe told The Associated Press.
The former Playboy playmate on Monday checked into Doctors Hospital, the same facility where she gave birth to a daughter on Sept. 7 and her son died while visiting her three days later.
Munroe said his client was not surprised by a South Carolina developer's assertion Thursday that he loaned her money for the gated, waterfront mansion where she has been living. G. Ben Thompson told reporters in Nassau he wanted to evict her because she has not honored an agreement to pay the mortgage.
Smith's son, Daniel, died in her room at Doctors Hospital, the only private medical center in Nassau. A private examiner said the cause was a lethal combination of methadone and antidepressants.
The results of official toxicology tests and a police investigation into his death have not been released.
