Anna Nicole Smith’s death became even more bizarre than her life yesterday as a series of bombshell revelations uncovered an ever-growing web of sexual intrigue – including the startling claim that her late billionaire husband may be the father of her infant daughter. The stunning disclosure comes in a no-holds-barred manuscript written by her half-sister Donna Hogan obtained exclusively by the Daily News. Hogan alleges that her sister froze the sperm of 90-year-old J. Howard Marshall years ago, and believes she may have used it to become pregnant. The revelation topped even the unseemly paternity suit that raged in a Los Angeles court less than 24 hours after Smith’s death. The former Playmate’s live-in companion and her former boyfriend Larry Birkhead both claim they are the father of baby Dannielynn – the little girl who could inherit up to half of Marshall’s $1.6 billion fortune. They weren’t the only ones laying claim to Dannielynn yesterday. Smith’s mother, Vergie Arthur, flew to the Bahamas yesterday to see her grandchild for the first time. The infant had been left with friends in the Bahamas. And amid all the legal maneuvering, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s wacky husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, made the bizarre claim that he fathered Smith’s daughter. A publicist for Gabor, 90, said von Anhalt was full of it. But even the battle to be named the father of Dannielynn was overshadowed by the claims in Donna Hogan’s unpublished manuscript. In the aptly named "Train Wreck" – written with author Stacy Brown – Hogan says: "I wouldn’t be shocked at all if it’s J. Howard’s. She saved his sperm after all and that maybe [sic] her trump card in her fight to get the old man’s estate." Depicting her half-sister as ever calculating, Hogan wrote that Smith was "seeing into the future. … She takes Howard in to have his sperm tested. When the results show that he is still fertile, she has a quantity of his sperm frozen." Hogan wrote that when her half-sister announced to the world she was pregnant, she declined to name the father. "To her family, she hinted that she had used the old man’s frozen sperm, and would be giving birth to Howard Marshall’s child," the manuscript claims. Later in the book while discussing the paternity fight, Hogan unleashed one of her many scathing descriptions of her half-sister. "That’s my sister for you. That b—h probably doesn’t even know who the father is. Soon she’ll probably say it’s J. Howard’s," Hogan wrote. Hogan could not be reached for comment yesterday, but in an interview with "Inside Edition" she said, "I don’t want people to talk about the crazy stuff. … I want them to remember her for being full of life."

If this is true, that was a smart way to get the money from her late husband. I just hope Dannielynn gets a father soon, so she can have a chance in this world of normalcy.
