Larry Birkhead, father to the late Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, recently bought Anna’s lingerie at an auction for his daughter.

At an auction on Saturday, Larry Birkhead shelled out nearly $3,000 for lingerie worn by Anna Nicole Smith in a Playboy photo shoot.

Larry Birkhead had paid $1800 for a pink bustier, as well as another $1000 for a white negligee because he wanted little one-year-old Dannielynn to have a keepsake of her late mother’s.

Birkhead further explained, saying “I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn’t really know about,” he told the Associated Press. “Playboy was such a big part of Anna’s career. “You know, it’s not something I can show today, but something down the road,” he added. “It’s not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon.”

After Anna Nicole Smith’s death due to an accidental overdose, Birkhead fought Howard Stern for sole custody. DNA testing proved that Larry Birkhead was baby Dannielynn’s biological father.

Dannielynn is the sole heir to the estate of Anna Nicole Smith.

So do you find it sweet for Birkhead to buy the lingerie for he and Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, or just a bit creepy?

50 Cent can’t pass up a good challenge, nor learn his lesson. This time, he pits himself against N’Syn’s Lance Bass.  Both 50 Cent and Lance Bass have launched their books at the same time, and held launch parties on the same night.Cent explained to attending pressmen that he loved competitions and he loved challenging Lance on this one. He betted that his “50 x 50” will sell more copies that Lance’s “Out Of N’Syn”.

Lance was not one to take it down lightly so he played pat-a-cake. At his launch party, he said that 50 Cent was going down. Without even reading his book, Lance confidently said that 50 had no relationships (with guys) to boast about in his “50 x 50” book. Lance then proceeded to drop another bomb. He made a wild guess that 50 Cent has had no space training either.

Lacey Chabert seems to be one of those celebs who likes to fly under the radar. Here she came out of hiding for the Master Lee Sun-Don Gallery Opening yesterday. I’m thinking we’ll start seeing more of her soon because she’s been busy according to IMDB. She’s got two more movies coming out this year.I just wish they’d remake Party of Five. Did anybody else LOVE that show?!?Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Reports have been flying that uber sexy Australian songbird Kylie Minogue is set to record and star in a track for upcoming Bollywood film, Blue!  Kylie will jet set to Mumbai next month to record the track with music maestro A.R. Rahman ! The song is said to be an up tempo disco number that’s right up Kylie Minogue’s alley. Although she hasn’t given official word yet, here’s what she had to say, “I will be able to give an official quote on Thursday, once the contract is signed.”  Yet, as happy as the producers, director and A.R. Rahman are, Kylie Minogue wasn’t the music genius’ first choice for the number.  Rumor is material mom Madonna was the first pick, but she declined.  Then fashion diva Rihanna was the next choice, but apparently she wanted too much cash for the deal!  How much more does this millionaire chick want?!  So alas, they had to settle with another top selling, world renowned pop artist!

This isn’t Kylie Minogue’s first brush with Bollywood she performed at the lavish Mittal wedding in 2004.  The wedding was for steel magnate Laxmi Mittal’s daughter and was, at the time, the most expensive wedding to date complete with Bollywood star stage shows and Kylie Minogue!  She performed a half hour set in a short black dress for one thousand guests.  So it looks like Kylie Minogue has some experience when it comes to tempting Indian audiences.  Blue stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif and is an underwater thriller that features three friends searching for lost treasure in the deep blue sea.  It’s reportedly the most expensive Bollywood film to date with the tab at $28 million!

Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers star player, has won the most prestigious trophy in NBA; the MVP award. (Most Valuable Player award.)  His wife Vanessa Bryant and his two daughters Gianna and Natalia were present to witness this great moment.

Kobe Bryant’s thanksgiving speech was full of gratitude for his family. His family made sacrifices for him so that he would be able to train and prepare for his games. He said that it was a blessing and honor to be able to receive such an award.

Kobe did not forget his team mates. He thanked them. He said that he could not have won the award if not for his players, who he referred to as his brothers.

German artist Natascha Stellmach says she has former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s cremated ashes, and plans to smoke them along with marijuana in a joint for an art exhibit in Berlin.

Kurt Cobain’s ashes were reportedly stolen from Courtney Love’s home. Courtney Love was said to be distraught and suicidal after her ex-husband’s ashes were taken.

Natascha Stellmach was questioned about how she had acquired the late Kurt Cobain’s cremated ashes and she said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

Stelmach says smoking the ashes “represents both the completion of the conceptual project and the final act in an exhibition bound to provoke wide public debate.”

Stellmach’s five part exhibition is called “Set Me Free”, with a final act which she claims “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether”, reports Uncut.

“Stellmach’s work comprises a ‘death cycle’ of five pieces. The first, a suicide contemplation, entitled It is Black in Here, is a sound piece, written and read by the artist. It was recorded onto a specifically pressed record and is played on a vintage record player. The six-minute poetic meditation on death’s proximity ends with the word ‘gone’.”

“‘Near Death Experience,’ is a text-based work where Kurt Cobain, Adolf Hitler, Diane Arbus and the Brothers Grimm meet in a twilight zone.

Two more works, ‘Black Scan’ and ‘Untitled,’ accentuate the purgatory to which dead celebrities are condemned?a large photographic print has the words “Set me free” written in the ashes of Cobain?preempting the climactic work.

It represents both the completion of the conceptual project and the final act in an exhibition bound to provoke wide public debate.”

WTF? Now is this crazy or what? The exhibit is set for October 11th, but it makes you wonder if Courtney Love with put a stop to it? Let us know your thoughts!

Prankster Kristy Swanson stunned guests at her wedding ceremony on Saturday when she asked her longtime movie stunt double to take a fall for her.

The original Buffy The Vampire Slayer added drama to her big day after persuading Heather Burton Gibson to don a white gown and veil and tumble down a flight of stairs as wedding guests waiting at the bottom gasped in shock.

The actress says, “I just thought, ‘Well, I’ll ask her,’ and I go, ‘Will you fall down the stairs for me?’ and she said, ‘Hell, yeah, I’ll do it.'” Even Swanson’s mom, Rosemary, was fooled into thinking her daughter had tripped and fallen down the stairs.

She tells news show Entertainment Tonight, “I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Well, the worst thing that could happen to Kristy would be if she would take a tumble down those stairs and, when it happened, I just panicked.”

After the prank, Swanson glided down the stairs and exchanged vows with professional ice skater Lloyd Eisler, who she met while shooting the TV reality show Skating With Celebrities.

Kristin Davis sent her representative to announce that she had no celebrity sex photos and no sex tape. The buzz was on the photos that were taken 5 years ago by an ex-boyfriend. It had taken this long for them to surface because the demand for celebrity naked photos is high now. There was renewed interest in Kristin Davis because her movie, “Sex And The City” would debut in a few months’ time.It was hard to determine if the face in the pictures belonged to Kristin. For starters, the face without makeup looked different from the usual one we see that really belongs to Kristin. Nobody was sure about the identity of the woman in the photos. The uncensored photos are at the second source. They are NSFW.

Always a fan of high-profile parties (especially her own), Kristin Cavallari was spotted on her way out of Hyde Lounge last night (January 5).

The “Laguna Beach” babe was celebrating her 22nd birthday party with an ‘80s-themed party, and she was certainly dressed for the occasion

Miss Cavallari donned a grey stretch bodysuit along with a pair of maroon leggings complete with fluorescent orange legwarmers as she made her way to a waiting car.

And if she’s looking a bit more tan than usual, it’s probably because she spent her New Year’s holiday basking in the beautiful sunshine of Miami Beach.

And in more beach canoodling news, another couple steaming up the beach shores was Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. This pair was also spotted on the beach in Miami sharing passionate kisses while strolling along the shoreline and having a difficult time keeping their hands off each other. When they finally clued in to the rest of the world around them and noticed the paps were having a hay-day they snapped out of it to head back to their hotel. All with the help of a handy dandy hotel employee and his reliable golf cart. And yes, in case you were wondering, this is the very same Dax Shepard that was recently paired with Kate Hudson. But that love song has obviously come to an abrupt end, but we aren’t sure yet who ended the notes to that one, Kate or Dax. Hmmm….either way, doesn’t look like it too much for Dax to get back in the game again
