Anna Nicole Smith's Amazing Photo-Shopping Baby

Chris Mohney — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:00:42 EST

MSNBC gossipoid Jeanette Walls has a "source" who claims that Anna Nicole Smith is shopping "exclusive" photos of baby daughter Dannielyn Hope to various tabloids, selling them to the highest bidder, and using the cash to finance her Bahamian lifestyle. This would seem perfectly in line with Smith's earlier commercial efforts, from her dead son to fake wedding to poignant Caesarian video. If she's indeed selling the pics — and we have a hard time believing she could be pulling down Suri Cruise money — then where are they? The only real shot of wee Dannielyn out there is the crop from the widely seen AP photo at right. Are we to believe the tabs are waiting for just the right, tasteful moment to run the photos? Far be it from us to suggest that Walls is being played with a planted tip, but given that her item ends with a reaction quote from Smith's nemesis (and self-claimed babydaddy) Larry Birkhead, the photos' lack of publication seems telling. But Anna Nicole, if you're reading this, we'll trade you the shots (or the baby) for some T-shirts.

From Jeanette Walls' Scoop column, published yesterday:

Some stars aren t on their best behavior when they re below the border. Brazilian mag Contigo grilled a bunch of celeb journalists and junketeers, and here are their musings on a few, according to our translator.

Andy Garcia: "A great disappointment," said the unnamed journalist. "I thought he was charming and interesting and at the Ocean s 11 junket I met a plain man, fat, thrown in a chair with an ugly jacket."

From today's Page Six:

Junketeering journalists are widely regarded as sycophants who write fluffy prose about movie stars in exchange for access and free travel. It's too bad they don't share their true, warts-and-all impressions of Hollywood A-listers. Two veteran, New York-based junketeers have confided their real feelings to PAGE SIX and their appraisals aren't pretty [...] Additionally, the Brazilian celebrity magazine Contigo excavated these junketeers' comments about other stars:

Andy Garcia is "a great disappointment. I thought he would be charming and interesting. But at the 'Ocean's Eleven' junket, I met a plain man in an ugly jacket who was fat and slung into a chair."

At least Jeanette Walls used a translator.
