As we all know, Anna Nicole Smith passed away a few weeks ago, and the legal issues surrounding her baby and her estate seem to be multiplying exponentially by the second. Apparently, the latest twist involves determining the proper legal beneficiary of her estate. But even better, the alleged father of her child is none other than her former attorney, Howard K. Stern. (I'm sure knocking up your client must violate some ethical code of conduct, but we'll let that one slide for now.)

Additionally, scandalous photos of Anna Nicole lying in bed with a Bahamian official were released this week, causing the official to resign. With all the hoopla surrounding the paternity of Smith's child, at least one legal blogger came forward this week and denied allegations that he was, in fact, the father. May it Please the Court's J. Craig Williams, you're out of the running. Great...that only leaves about 500 other potential fathers of the baby. Thanks for narrowing it down a bit.

Don't you love it when legal bloggers write about things that have nothing to do with law? Like when lawyers become movie critics and start picking the year's best movies? While most people would answer with a resounding "no," I answer with a surprising "yes." (What can I say? It makes my job more interesting.) Such is the case at BizzBangBuzz, where the bloggers have listed their picks for the best movies of the year. Actually, I have to hand it to them; for the most part, they picked some great movies. Aside from their decision to list Pirates of the Caribbean-Dead Man's Chest and Superman Returns as "Great Flicks" (seriously, are you kidding me?), I would agree with a lot of their choices.

And on that note, I'll let you go...let's see how many other men claim to be the father of Anna Nicole's baby this week!
