Larry Birkhead is ready and willing, if not yet able, to begin his tour of daddy duty.A day after being declared the biological father of seven-month-old Dannielynn , Birkhead took to the airwaves to share his joy and prove his single-parenting mettle.While the 34-year-old photographer had a major victory in the courts of both the Bahamas and public opinion Tuesday, he has yet to be awarded custody of his child with Anna Nicole Smith, something he says he is willing, yet again, to fight for and something which he will not share."We might go from one fight to another, but I'm hoping that's not the case because, you know, there's only one dad, and I have no problem with anyone that has good intentions being allowed to visit the baby and see the baby and be a part of the baby's life," he told the Today show Wednesday.Birkhead added it was great to no longer be known as "the man who claimed he's the father of Dannielynn.

Jesse Metcalfe in rehab
2007-03-29 01:07:00
Former Desperate Housewives star Jess e Metcalfe has become the latest celebrity to check into rehab. "He realised he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately," the actor's rep told the New York Post, adding that he "hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment".

A hotel rep reluctantly addressed the rumour, saying that while Metcalfe had not been officially banned, he was refused a hotel room Saturday night. Metcalfe, who appeared on Smallv...

I have always wanted to be a good dad. My brother's got two kids and he's an excellent dad and I think we both have that sense of being home and being solid family guys."The 39-year-old has also taken a thinly-veiled swipe at Tom and his new wife Katie Holmes for seeking publicity.Keith said: "If we were plastered in the magazines all the time and sort of got pictures willingly, it would wear off and probably people wouldn't want them so much."I would just rather have a more quiet life, like we do.

2007-03-28 02:03:00
MIAMI - Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy results, released Monday, reveal as much about the star's reckless life as they do about her sudden death of an accidental overdose at age 39.The autopsy report paints a complex, yet human picture of Smith: a mother battling depression after losing her son; a woman struggling to quell chronic pain from several plastic surgeries; and a star so obsessed with preserving her beauty that she gobbled diet pills, drank SlimFast and injected her buttocks with anti-aging drugs.Yet Smith was a woman in control, even in the final days of her life, days that she spent in a suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino fighting a 105-degree fever, flu symptoms, sweating and a painful infection caused by a ruptured abscess in her buttocks.Three days before her Feb. 8 death, her temperature soaring, Smith took an ice bath and Tamiflu, but firmly refused to go to the emergency room.Smith improved the next day, but Broward Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper sai...
