  • Anna Nicole Smith: Daughter Dannielynn Birkhead Looks Just Like Her

    Anna Nicole Smith would no doubt be proud of her daughter, eight-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead. She grows to look more like her late mom with every passing year.

    As has been customary for the past five years, Larry Birkhead–who is raising his and Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter–dressed Dannielynn up to the nines and brought her to the Kentucky Derby this past weekend.

    According to a report from Us Weekly, Dannielynn Birkhead wore a pastel pink Monsoon dress and matching headband to the Kentucky Derby. Dad Larry Birkhead matched his little girl perfectly, sporting a pink jacket and tie.

    “It took me two months to get my daughter’s outfit together–shopping, and mixing and matching,” Larry Birkhead said.

    In true Anna Nicole Smith form, Dannielynn even picked out her dad’s Kentucky Derby ensemble.

    “She had my outfit ready–she said, ‘Dad, you have to wear this outfit,’ then she said ‘It doesn’t look right, you’ll embarrass me, so wear this [instead],’” Birkhead added.

    It’s easy to see that Dannielynn Birkhead is growing up with plenty of love and attention–and that her dad isn’t neglecting the special fashion attention that Anna Nicole Smith would have wanted him to pay to their daughter. Whenever the two are spotted in public, Dannielynn looks like a million bucks.

    Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose at the age of 39, back in 2007. Dannielynn was just a baby at the time of her passing.

  • Dannielynn Birkhead at Kentucky Derby With Dad Larry–Looks Just Like Mom, Anna Nicole Smith

    Dannielynn Birkhead, the daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead, was at the Kentucky Derby this weekend with her dad. The eight-year-old grows to look more like her famous mom with each passing year.

    Always a little fashion plate, Dannielynn Birkhead was dressed to the nines for the Kentucky Derby, sporting a pastel pink Monsoon dress and matching headband, as reported by Us Weekly.

    Dad Larry Birkhead matched his little girl perfectly, as he sported a pink jacket at tie that more than rose to the festive occasion.

    With Louisville being their hometown, this is the fifth year in a row that Larry and Dannielynn Birkhead have appeared together at Churchill Downs. Larry spoke to the Courier-Journal the night before the big race.

    “It took me two months to get my daughter’s outfit together – shopping, and mixing and matching,” he said while at the Derby’s Barnstable Brown Gala–the night before he and his daughter walked the red carpet.

    He says Dannielynn picked his outfit out.

    “She had my outfit ready–she said, ‘Dad, you have to wear this outfit,’ then she said ‘It doesn’t look right, you’ll embarrass me, so wear this [instead],’” Larry Birkhead said.

    It’s plain to see that little Dannielynn Birkhead is growing up with plenty of love and attention–and that her dad isn’t neglecting the fashion attention her mom would have wanted him to pay to their daughter. Whenever the father-daughter duo are spotted in public, Dannielynn is dressed like a million bucks.

  • Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate Is Not Entitled To Late Husband’s Money, Final Ruling

    Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate Is Not Entitled To Late Husband’s Money, Final Ruling

    The long-running court case that Anna Nicole Smith first filed in 1996 for a portion of the Marshall wealth has finally come to an end in federal court. The final ruling maintained that Smith –more precisely, her estate– is not entitled to the estate of her former husband, Texas billionaire, J. Howard Marshall II.

    When 89-year-old Marshall died, he left his entire estate to his son, E. Pierce Marshall.  This was in 1995, fourteen months after being married to then 26-year-old, former Playboy model, Smith.

    Smith, whose legal name is Vickie Lynn Marshall, claimed that she was promised by her late husband more than $300million in inheritance, and took the matter to court.

    Due to Smith’s filing for bankruptcy, among other complications, the case was heard in various local and federal courts. It had gone on to outlive both Smith, who died in 2007 because of a drug overdose, and the Marshall son, E. Pierce, who passed on in 2006.

    Smith’s estate pursued the case on behalf of her daughter, eight-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead.  Birkhead’s lawyers have attempted to win sanctions from the Marshall family for delays and obfuscation tactics of the deceased heir and his lawyers. As Smith’s only living heir, she would have been about $44 million richer had the courts ruled in her favor.

    On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter dismissed their attempts as moot since Birkhead’s lawyers failed to provide sufficient evidence of actual damages.

    “The Court also must consider the very real concerns attendant in sanctioning Pierce Marshall, who is deceased and therefore cannot be present, cannot attend the hearing, and cannot answer for himself the allegations against him.” said Carter.

    Carter added that too much time and energy had been spent on the case and ought to be ended.   “Time spent litigating the relationship between Vickie Lynn and J. Howard has extended for nearly five times the length of their relationship and nearly twenty times the length of their marriage. It is neither reasonable nor practical to go forward.”

  • Dannielynn Birkhead To Appear On “Wife Swap”

    Dannielynn Birkhead, the 7-year old daughter of Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead, will reportedly appear on an episode of Celebrity Wife Swap soon with her father.

    The show–which usually switches two moms out for a week to let them see how another (and, unsurprisingly, opposite) household works–will feature Larry’s sister because he is unmarried.

    “I am not married so I swapped my sister with the wife of race car driver Hélio Castroneves,” Birkhead said.

    As for life with the very famous child of infamous model and reality star Anna Nicole, Birkhead says their home in Kentucky makes it easy to stay out of the spotlight until they want to.

    “We live in Kentucky and it’s kind of a paparazzi free zone,” Birkhead said on Today. “I’m being both parents, so I think that I just try to give her a good foundation and try to just be there for her at all times.”

    The dad-and-daughter duo recently appeared in a documentary on E! about life after Anna Nicole’s tragic death and what it’s like for Birkhead to be a single dad. He says it’s difficult to do all the things a little girl wants to do with her mom and know Dannielynn will never have that; however, his family is nearby to help in trying to give her a “normal” life.

    The 7-year old is now a model for Guess Kids after following in her famous mother’s footsteps, but Birkhead says he makes sure she’s grounded.

    “15 minutes after she was done with the Guess photo, she was back on book reports,” he said. “For her it was something cool. Her mother was a Guess girl and now she is a Guess girl.”

  • Dannielynn Birkhead Dresses Up for the Kentucky Derby

    Dannielynn Birkhead, the five-year daughter of Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead, made a rare appearance at this year’s Kentucky Derby in Louisville. Wearing a flowery hat and a floral dress, the little girl seemed to enjoy her time at Churchill Downs over the weekend. She looks like a happy, well-adjusted little girl, which is good considering the vast amount of extreme sadness that swept over her life during her infancy.

    Birkhead, who was eager to separate his daughter from the lifestyle that ultimately claimed the life of her mother, decided move Dannielynn back to his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Her mother, as you may recall, died when she was just five months old. His eagerness to keep her away from the madness and mayhem that consumed her family is entirely understandable.

    However, nothing from the past seemed to darken their Derby Day experience.

    Dannielynn spent the day with her father, checking out horses and attempting to navigate the tricky waters of the Turf Club. The little girl’s visit to Churchill Downs must have been bittersweet for Larry, as this was the place where he met Dannielynn’s mother back in 2004.

    When asked how his daughter was enjoying the event, Birkhead stated, “She is having a great day but is more excited to go to Toys ‘R’ Us after the race.” Strangely, I can totally relate to that. However, something tells me that Dannielynn and her father will be back next year.
