Over the weekend, the NY Daily News ran two stories on Fox News journo Rita Cosby’s sensational new book about the ugly circumstances surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s death. So as not to be mistaken as a book about Madonna’s 1990 tour or the upcoming remake of Working Girl starring Jessica Simpson, Blonde Ambition is subtitled The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death. In this story, Cosby claims Howard Stern was responsible for the death of Smith’s son Daniel, and that Stern and Larry Birkhead were in cahoots, making a deal to have Birkhead get custody of the baby and Stern to be executor of the estate. And their unlikely partnership might have been a result of the other claim Cosby makes – that Stern and Birkhead were “gay lovers.”

Anna Nicole and her friend allegedly caught Stern and Birkhead with their shirts off and their pants around their ankles in a Los Angeles home. Jackie Hatten, described in the book as one of Anna Nicole’s closest friends, said the men were engaged in oral sex. “Their bodies were intermingled,” Hatten says… “It was obvious what was happening.” […] The tell-all claims Anna Nicole would spread out on her bed and watch a video allegedly showing Birkhead and Stern having oral sex “over and over” while Stern worked on his computer in their Bahamas home. The existence of the video was confirmed by a source yesterday.

Surprisingly, no other mention is made of the more incredulous fact that the molecules of the two men’s bodies mixed to form one person, as per the meaning of intermingled.
