Celebrity Justice
Anna Saga -- New Potential Baby Daddy Surfaces

The man convicted of making terrorist threats against Anna Nicole Smith has sent TMZ's Managing Editor Harvey Levin a letter from prison, claiming he could be Dannielynn's dad.
Hatten Letter

Mark "Hollywood" Hatten claims he "willfully gave a sperm sample to then girlfriend Anna Nicole Smith, which she gave to a doctor for future use." He then writes, "I allege that I could be the father of Dannielynn by means of artificial insemanation (sic)."

Hatten, who is currently serving a seven year sentence in Pleasant Valley State Prison, had a brief relationship with Smith in 2000. Cops believe Hatten began stalking Smith soon after their relationship fizzled. Hatten, who tattooed himself with Smith's likeness, was also convicted of beating up Anna's neighbor.

In his letter to Levin, Hatten says after he gave Anna a sperm sample, she said, "Congratulations Mr. Hollywood, you just made a deposite (sic) in the Anna Nicole sperm bank."

Hatten adds, "I am formerly (sic) requesting to compare my DNA to both Anna Nicole and the infant child Dannielynn."

Interestingly, in next week's "Steppin Out" magazine, there's a story that Smith told the reporter, that Anna told him in 2004 that "artificial insemination was a consideration."

4. Pulling out early and leaving a puddle on someone's belly is not willfully giving a sperm sample.

7. Oh yes please by all means will everyone please come forward to get your 15 mins of fame and say you are the Father to Danielynn. What is going on here man I swear between not letting Anna be buried and carrying that one out know we have another person coming foward to say he is the Father of the Baby!!!! I think this goes to show there is only one person with that beautiful little girl right know and that is her father no matter what. He is who is taking care of her and loves her! This is such BS poor Anna for sure man she would have never ever wanted this to happen to that baby, and most of all poor Danielynn. She is going to go through hell know thanks to Larry. I feel that is where it all started. Know Anna is gone and Danielynn only has one wonderful person and that is her father Howard. Howard is going to take care of her no doubt in my mind. So we will have to see how many more guys are going to come forward to try and get her Memory her Money, her PRIDE AND JOY!

Not sure about there, but that's the increasing way to see inmates. You have to call for appointments only.

A few jails in central Colorado started doing it last year. You have a set time to call, to get a set time to come, because there's too many inmates for the rush of people to come into the visitors areas.

15. Typical Convict. This dirt bag learned more scams while in Prison and this is just one of them I'm sure on a long list of others.

Go ahead and take his DNA, its easy to do in Prison, in fact they probably already have it on file to compare against unsolved Rape crimes.

That drawing he did and has for sale as noted in post number 3 shows he simply is one to cash in on his crimes.
