PLEASANT VALLEY, CA — It’s been a busy few months for Mark Hatten, former boyfriend/now convicted stalker of the much-talked-about-even-in-death Anna Nicole Smith.Hatten recently popped back into the media spotlight by adding his name to the now six name long list of possible fathers to the freshly dead former Playboy model’s newborn daughter, Dannielynn.
Being in prison for the past couple of years apparently didn’t mean he couldn’t become a father to the child of a woman who helped put him in prison, according to him. After all, as he told the hosts of television’s Extra,“Bottom line, Anna Nicole Smith usually gets what she wants and she told me, ‘I want to have your baby, Mark.”
Of course, former bodyguard Alexander Denk, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, grandma Hogan’s favorite Larry Birkhead, and lawyer turned boyfriend turned husband turned widower Howard K. Stern all think Anna Nicole wanted to have their babies, too. Some have contended that long-dead geriatric husband Howard Marshall might be the baby’s father, as well — using the same method that Hatten insists was used with his potency: frozen sperm.
All of that aside, Hatten has a new concern. In letters to the dead model’s mother, the jailbird has fretted about the possible loss or theft of a saucy sex vid starring himself and the dearly departed.
Quick, somebody check eBay.
Virgie Arthur, whom Anna Nicole wanted nothing to do with during her adult life but can’t seem to escape now that she’s dead, claims that Hatten’s letters speak of “explicit material” possibly removed from the newlywed’s Bahaman home.
Arthur, showing a keen appreciation for mourning and propriety, initiated correspondence with Hatten, who is chilling in a medium security prison after beating up Anna Nicole’s neighbor and threatening the woman he claims to have impregnated thanks to science. Mama Arthur claims the pen pal exchange was begun in hopes of hearing Hatten’s memories about her daughter.
Not merely concerned that the alleged tape be located and returned, Hatten — who used the mail exchange to announce his right to be called daddy — insists that it “must be destroyed,” in part because his sweetheart was “against pornography.”
Stern has acknowledged that items were removed during the raid, including a few “of a personal nature.”
