Interestingly, however, People doesn't close until Tuesday night, making them the only celebrity weekly to hit the stands this week with a story on the DNA results. And it's interesting to note that the doctors who performed the DNA results knew that Birkhead was the father back on March 26, but held out on disclosing that information until yesterday afternoon. Could it have been a strategic move to give People a leg up on their competition? A thank you for the $1 million Howard and Anna received for their fake-wedding photos? Or maybe a gesture of gratitude toward TMZ for making Debra Opri look like a money-hungry, bloodsucking lawyer when they published the ridiculous bill she sent to Birkhead? Seeing that People and TMZ are both owned (or partially-owned) by Time Warner, we fully expect the rival weeklies to come out next week with stories on what an irresponsible, uncaring child that homewrecker Dannielynn is. Hey, they did it to Angelina!

We've been pretty silent on the whole Anna Nicole thing because, well, we don't really care one way or another whether she's alive or dead. We know that's harsh, but we're not feeling too bad about it. Especially not after reading this TMZ report that one of Anna Nicole's nannies claims the Playboy model (among other things) underfed her newborn baby girl because she wanted her to be "sexy".

Says TMZ:

According to the sworn affidavit written in the Bahamas on December 4, 2006, Quethlie Alexis claims she received repeated threats from Smith, aka Vickie Marshall, to "underfeed" Dannielynn because, "Ms. Marshall was obsessed with making sure that her baby was 'sexy.' Ms. Marshall knew that the correct amount of baby food was 3 ounces every 3 hours ... Ms. Marshall insisted that the maximum I was to give was 2.5 ounces." Alexis claims that Smith enforced the order by "making sure the baby monitor was kept on all the time." Alexis adds Dannielynn "is badly underweight and not thriving, as a baby should."

Of course, this could simply be the former nanny's attempt to get attention when Anna Nicole was still alive (take a look at the date of the affidavit, above). But in a society in which 6-year-old girls are going on diets, and women are celebrated simply for being sex machines, we're not going to discount this one quite yet.
