(Sept. 3) - A forthcoming book about the death of Anna Nicole Smith alleges that two of the men who claimed to be the father of her daughter, Dannielynn, were lovers.

'Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death,' was written by former MSNBC reporter Rita Cosby. In the book, Cosby claims Smith and a friend –- identifed as Jackie Hatten -- once happened upon Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead half-undressed and intertwined, reports the New York Daily News.

In 'Blonde Ambition,' Rita Cosby writes that the two main players in the fight for Anna Nicole Smith's child were at one time, lovers. She also says the men, Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern, conspired to profit off the media.

"Their bodies were intermingled," said Hatten, according to a copy of the book obtained by the Daily News. "It was obvious what was happening."

The book says Smith had a video of the men engaged in oral sex that she would watch regularly.

Birkhead responded to the allegations, telling the Daily News that Hatten "has never met me and she hasn't even seen Anna since 2001." Birkhead goes on to say that Hatten "isn't a credible source" and that her brother "went to jail for stalking Anna. This book is coming from the losers club because they all have axes to grind."

Cosby's book also accuses Stern and Birkhead of keeping Smith drugged. A mixture of prescription drugs killed the actress in February. Police said there was no evidence of foul play.

The two men cut a deal, the book claims, for Birkhead to get custody of Dannielynn in return for Stern being named executor of Smith's estate.

"She got fired and nobody wanted her," Birkhead said in response to Cosby's allegations. "The last story she did was on Anna and now she is doing this book because no one will hire her."

Last week, OK! Magazine issued a press release saying it would not be running photos of Dannielynn's first birthday as planned, citing "shocking" allegations that were "potentially incriminating."

In response, Birkhead threatened to sue. He called the magazine's decision a case of "sour grapes," saying OK! was angry because he wanted to do a photo shoot with US Weekly magazine.

Birkhead also claimed a reporter from OK! e-mailed him warning he’d receive “horrid” coverage if worked with US Weekly on the story.

"They can’t stand it if one other magazine has one other little detail," Birkhead said.

How come Larry doesn't say something like "I really don't know why she says these things about me?" instead of attacking Rita personally with insults. Why is he so defensive? Humm?

Who cares if they were. It's NO ONES business. Anna Nicole was cool with them and the only thing that matters is the baby Dannilynn. Leave Larry and Howard alone and let them make sure this baby is raised in peace and love. She has losts enough. Jealous louts out to make a dollar off of dead Anna and her friends. Shame on this women Hatten. What trailer trash.

Rita was the one who introduced Larry to Opri...and you know that story. Opri billed him scandilous prices on everything and the judge made Opri freeze that money she wanted to spend of Larry's. So two good friends (Rita and Opri) have collaborated to make it hard for Larry to hang on to any monies. He is not a wealthy individual and it is going to be a hassle for Howard or Larry to pay the fee of one Lin Wood. Hopefully, Wood will get every penny that Rita ever thinks about making on this filthy book. Rita is going down big time. I have always believed Howard was gay but think Larry is not. At least if he is, he is definitely bi-sexual.
