Is Anna Nicole Smith pregnant or isn't she? Nobody's talking

Is Anna Nicole Smith pregnant? Her attorney and long-time spokesman Howard K. Stern issued a statement Thursday that makes the matter as clear as a blurred sonogram image. "If Anna Nicole is pregnant, she obviously doesn't want anybody to know yet," Stern wrote in an e-mail. "If she's not pregnant, she's not denying the rumor because she thinks it's funny how much of a stir it's causing. She'll leave it up to you to guess which one it is." Smith, 38, has a 20-year-old son, Daniel, from her first marriage. This week, Smith won a judgment in the Supreme Court that allows her to continue to seek part of the fortune of her late husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Smith married Marshall in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died in 1995. CBS introduces its broadband 'innertube' channelCBS is taking a big leap into the broadband pool, launching a channel that will offer up original programming alongside repeats of shows from the broadcast network. The channel, called "innertube," launched Thursday on CBS.com. The channel's programming will be free to users and supported by advertisers just like conventional TV. One offering, a fraternity-makeover show called Greek to Chic, is sponsored partly by Chili's and Dr Pepper; the premiere features one of the frat boys taking his date to Chili's while wearing a Dr Pepper T-shirt. Other innertube shows will include Beyond Survivor, a behind-the-scenes peek at CBS's reality flagship, and BBQ Bill, a sketch-comedy show featuring Mad TV alum Rick Najera. - Zap2it.com Richards, Locklear at odds over Bon Jovi guitarist SamboraNEW YORK - Denise Richards, who is seeking a divorce from Charlie Sheen, says in the next issue of People magazine she is no longer friends with Heather Locklear.Photos of Richards with Locklear's estranged husband, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, recently appeared in celebrity magazines.
