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."

8. Wait, so you black out the TMZ office contact information, but feel it is ok to publish some poor, private woman's home and cell phone numbers? Classy.

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

12. 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...

13. 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!

14. His sister, Jackie, has had several "interviews on TV" where she blames HKS for her disintegrated friendship with AN. I'd bet that AN chose to end the friendship because she never wanted to chance coming into contact with this psycho! Who next? Santa Claus?

15. OK TMZ, dont' lower your standards like ET. If you want to be taken seriously, do you need to entertain this crap? The father of the child is Larry Birkhead. Look at the resemblence.

You should remove this nonsense and get back to some of the good reporting I come here for.
