The Shiksa Story

I have nothing against shiksas. Unlike many of my co-religionists and Yiddishsists, I don't consider shiksa necessarily a derogatory term. It depends on the person.

Anyway, this introduction is proper becuase I came across this story about one of today's most ultimate shiksas: Anna Nicole Smith (*) and her new, Jewish, husband. This gets complicated, so let's walk this through slowly.

First,

Howard K. Stern, the lawyer for Anna Nicole Smith, said Tuesday that he's the "proud father" of her baby girl, who was born just days before her 20-year-old son Daniel died in the Bahamas.

Stern, who was with the family in the hospital the night Daniel died, told CNN's Larry King that the newborn, named Dannielynn Hope, has been Smith's "one ray of hope" following the tragedy.

The child, he said, is "the one thing that is really keeping her going. And through it all, even with all the pain, she has been a great mom, a very attentive mom."


Next,

...the former Playboy playmate and her latest love one, Howard Stern had a spiritual wedding ceremony, it seems that no official marriage certificate has been issued yet for the happy couple.

"They had a quiet ceremony and declared how much they love each other in front of God. They vowed they would be there for each other," Smith's best friend, Alex Goen declared.

The fancy ceremony took place onboard a catamaran off Nassau in the Bahamas,


and

Star reports that an eyewitness said that Anna, 38, and Howard, 37, tied the knot shortly before 10:30 am in the morning, while sailing on a white catamaran off of Nassau. "There was heavy security around the yacht, plus extra speedboats to deliver more supplies as needed (including unlimited Dom Perignon champagne) from the mainland to the catamaran," says the eyewitness, who adds that the wedding party celebrated the union afterwards by having a swim party around the yacht — "and Anna was wearing a pink bikini!"

Star also goes on to say that two days before, on September 26, Stern appeared live on the Larry King Show via satellite from the Bahamas, to announce that he was the father of Anna's newborn daughter Danilynne Hope, that he and Anna "love each other" — and that the duo would get married "at some point."



And then, two more decided to claim paternity:-

While a court in Los Angeles, CA, convened yesterday on a paternity suit for baby Smith, 2 more men surfaced to claim title while another claimed to have been asked to father the child. TRIMSPA’s first media inquiry regarding the ‘new prospects’ was thought to be a bad joke, but the topic resurfaced throughout the day by multiple media outlets. “By day’s end,” said a company representative, “we were prepared to hear that every eligible bachelor was stepping up for the job.” As ridiculous as it sounds, the media coverage given the recent events in Anna Nicole Smith’s life almost guarantees anyone with something to say 15 minutes of fame – whether true or not.


Oh, well.

Anna Nicole Smith (name at birth: Vicky Lynn Hogan) is a blonde bombshell with a history of heavy exposure: she was the Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993 and then increased her public presence with a series of glossy ads for Guess? clothing. Her busting-out-all-over appeal made her a popular pinup in the early days of the Internet. She became the stuff of talk show one-liners in 1994 when she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall. He died the next year, leaving Smith to battle his family for control of his fortune.
