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."

61. Be careful what you say Fuzzy, the media may want you to submit evidence... Do you have a website with any revealing photo's? LOL I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself! This truly isn't a "laughing" matter! It's a very sad situation for all involved, and I hope and pray there is a happy ending for Dannielynn. You've all heard the old saying, "Any man can be a father, but it takes someone truly special to be a daddy!" I wonder if any of them that have claimed to be her father, as of yet, fits that shoe? We'll see, as this soap opera unfolds!

62. I'm sure whatever "sperm samples" she alleged were taken were quickly replaced by Howard Marshall if chosen method of pregnancy was used, where at least there was money at stake... nice try though

63. So, this takes possible baby daddy's up to what 5 now!? This is insane.
What the hell is taking them so long to do the DNA test? Maury could of had this done in 24 hours. If HKS really loves Anna and if he is the father he should just submit to the test so her name isn't drug thru the mud anymore. Who next to come out and claim paternity....!? Can't wait to check TMZ tomorrow.

64. you're right #20...i knew J.Hatten was full of it when she was on tv claiming to be annas friend. Everything that came out of her mouth was the exact opposite from what anna has said...Her brother has some serious mental issues, and she just wanted to have her ugly mug on tv...the sickos are really coming out from under their rocks.

I did see an interview on E!News with Ryan Seacrest and a stylist (Sandy).She worked on Annas last movie...she had recent pics and seemed so sad. This was a good one.

66. You know, I was going to say something about this topic, but you know what screw it. As far as i'm concerned right now, the guy that sat next to me on the subway could be the baby's daddy. I'm so sick of hearing all of these theories of who the baby's daddy, who killed anna, who should get the body, etc.It is a possibly that all of you who are making up these theories is wrong.They can also be right but I don't care, I just want this DNA test over and done with so people can stop debating on this like they're talking about some big political issue and so that Anna can rest in peace and so everyone can move on to bigger, better and more important issues(though it is sad and wrong that she left all of this mess behind).

67. I don't understand why the secracy of who the daddy is. Howard let them do the test (that is if your not afraid of the outcome) The baby has the right to know. Put the money in trust until danny is 27 or 30 and then see who wants the baby when there is know immmediate money available. All of this is stupid and a waste of time. Give the mother the body and let her bury her child. Good bad or indifferent she brought her into the world and no one knows who or what took her from everyone. It is only a shell anna is watching this whole circus. Give the dna and quit trying to be pocessive. If I see greed and dollar signs it is on howards face. He has the ability to put this all to rest.

68. This woman had a history of finding some of the biggest loosers to fawn over her. I am almost afraid to find out what Larry B's hidden little talents were.

69. I used to work for Paul Fegen (the pig - I mean attorney representing Mark Hatten... ) what a joke... Fegen is an old hippy perv, who couldn't litigate himself out of a dog pound... he's just a social climbing status whore, affiliated with scum bag losers, and seeking the spotlight... grow up Fegen... stick to doing your card tricks and sexually harassing your employees you insufferable piece of shit...

70. 32. The father of the child is Larry Birkhead. Look at the resemblence.

Hmm, I think the kid looks more like Prince Whats-his-name.

71. This is ridiculous now. What convict wouldnt claim to be the baby-daddy of a child that stood to inherit millions, no matter how weak the link? And this guy should have consulted a dictionary- he cant spell and his grammar sucks.
Ugh, I think I'm feeling a tad queasy...............

72. Raised poor, and then became rich, all of a sudden a rich celeb....I dont think she really knew how to handle it. She was very pretty and also vulnerable to anyone who gave her a second look (and had money). I watched her show, and followed her so called career. She really slept around, DUH>>>>> This little girl will never know her mommy and will fall prey to everything Anna escaped. Give her to her grandmother, not some money hungry man, who took every advantage of Anna. She is gone, so let her rest in peace. God be with this little child and let her have the love of a REAL family.

73. Damn how many dads does she have? I still say its Larry. Dannielynn is a very cute little baby and he is the only good looking guy so far.
