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. TMZ - WHEN YOU MAKE A HABIT OF "CONVENIENTLY" LEAVING OUT FACTS IT MAKES IT TOUGH TO BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU WRITE. IT DESTROYS YOUR CREDIBILITY AND MAKES THE REST OF YOUR ARGUMENTS LAUGHABLE. YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEDICAL EXPERTS APPROVE OF THE USE OF METHADONE IN PREGNANT WOMEN. YOU HAVE NO DOUBT DONE A GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH IMMEDIATELY TELLS YOU THIS. AND YOU HAVE NO DOUBT SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DOCTORS BY NOW TOO ON THE MATTER. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THE NAY SAYERS REGARDING THE USE OF ANY PRESCRIPTION DRUGS - PREGNANT OR NOT, NO MATTER HOW MILD. BUT THE MAJORITY OPINION (CORROBORATED BY FEDERAL PROTOCOL) SHOULD BE ACKOWLEDGED. YOUR READERS ARE NOT IDIOTS. PRINT THE FACTS AND PRINT THE COMPLETE FACTS. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE SELECTIVELY ANGLING THIS STORY IN ORDER TO HEIGHTEN THE DRAMA AND INCREASE YOUR FINANCIAL GAIN. THERE'S CERTAINLY ENOUGH INHERENT DRAMA WITHOUT PRINTING SCEWED INFORMATION. PRINT THE FULL FACTS WHEN DISCUSSING METHADONE AND WHEN DISCUSSING "HOLLYWOOD" HATTEN. YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT HE'S JACKIE'S BROTHER AND IN ANY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR POINT. IN YOUR CASE IT JUST DOESN'T SERVE YOUR PURPOSES. GROW A SPINE.

62. I see it through the crystal ball-NAH! Does not take a crystal ball to see what they people are up to. I WONDERED why his sister was on Nancy Grace show and Larry King putting down Howard Stern like he was the devil himself. (Remember, most of the stuff we are hearing bad about Howard is from these people coming out of the woodwork that have THEIR own motives for getting a hold o Dannielynne and or her potential money. NOW I understand why his sister was coming off like a PR person slandering Stern. NOW HER BROTHER claims he might be the Dad due to artificial insemination and how the people at TMZ can contact his sister. Howard is the ONLY one not doing shows and slandering people. Yet everyone, cause they are the only ones coming out of the woodwork, believe these nut cases like everything they say is the gospel truth. I am hoping the baby is Howard Stern's or Mr Marshall's from his frozen sperm. The rest of these folks wanna make me puke. OH and Larry BIrkhead..I remember the rumours going around about YOUR drug taking when you were with Anna Nicole..what short memories some of these people have....the money is making them have selective lapses in memory...

63. Good Lord! It truly was just a matter of time until the nut job came out! His sister is a lying sack of shit, leads me to believe this one is as well!

The sister, Jackie claimed on one show last night to be the BEST FRIEND, and god mother 2 both of Anna's children, then in the next breath said Howard kept her away, stating she NEVER got to see Dannielynn!

What a crock! Yeah, I'm a godmother 2 a child I've never seen! Whatever!

64. You know, when I was doing a nickle bit for a B&E job we use to make our bitches get a tattoo of an "M" on either side of their stinky, itchy starfish on both of their butt cheeks, that way we could think about "MOM" while we plowed 'em.
The Lady in the red dress is a nice touch...now squeal like a pig my little man whore!

65. It breaks my heart that when Dannielynn is old enough to do a web search on her mother, she will be able to bring all this crap up.

66. 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.

67. Everybody wants to get into the "Who's The Daddy?" sweepstakes now that Anna Nicole Smith has left the building.

70. Seriously, this guy was convicted for terrorist threats against Anna Nicole, sent to prison for 7 years..........but the ding-aling sister says he DID NOT do it! She and him are BOTH nut jobs

71. 61. This looks like a 12 year old girls handwriting.

That is so true! I forgot to mention that. It looks like a little girl wrote it to Santa Clause and mark the specific presents in crayon! Man this is so pathetic.

72. Come to think of it, I think I was hanging out with Anna Nicole....and a turkey baster. Hey...maybe I'm the father......LOL

73. More and more Howard Stern is starting to look like the only normal one to me. He was Anna's friend for 15 years so she obviously trusted him and was pretty much her family. All this blame that he gave her drugs, he helped her addiction, he gave her son drugs, he controlled her, he did this and that is bullshit. It's so obvious that all these scumbag people are coming out now that Anna is dead. Why didnt they go on TMZ, Larry King, NY Daily News and all these other rags when Anna was alive? Now that she cant defend herself all the vultures are out and the best is all these potential "daddie" have lawyers. The only one I can defend is Larry Birkhead. He was there when Anna was alive. THe only sincere one. THe rest are piece of shit losers, including Anna's fat white trash mother who didnt give a shit about her grandson when he was alive and the half sister who's now bashing her with a book. No respect for Daniel's mother. WHo are these so called "great friends" all of a sudden. Please. God will punish you all in life and death. Why doesnt TMZ, Perez Hilton, ET, Star and all these rags report how Anna contributed to charities, how Anna took a terminal Ill cancer patient to Disney world, how she donated money to children's funds. NO!! THe world is all about the bad things you can say, not the good. That's the way of the world.

74. Did anybody else laugh at this guys spelling? He must be an idiot.

75. Come on TMZ. Every numbnut who claims paternity in this sad case doesn't deserve consideration. All you manage to accomplish by giving free publicity to this jailbird twatwaffle is minimize the impact of legitimate news that you do cover.
