Most people have heard of Howard Stern. He's the radio shock jock who is known for his sexually explicit and often vulgar on-air antics.

But do you know Howard K. Stern? He and those around him might be even more shocking than the other Howard.

Howard K. is described as a "family friend and personal attorney" of Anna Nicole Smith, former Playboy playmate and Guess Jeans model who is now the TrimSpa diet program spokeswoman. Smith was the woman who married the 80-something billionnaire J. Howard Marshall years ago and fought with his son over the estate when Marshall kicked -- all the way to the Supreme Court.

Most recently, Anna Nicole gave birth to a girl in the Bahamas, then suffered the loss of her 20-year-old son, Daniel, who mysteriously died in her hospital room. His death was ruled an accidental overdose of methodone and two antidepressants.

So she's not exactly a stranger to drama. The twists and turns keep coming. Howard K. went on Larry King on Tuesday and declared himself the new baby's father and said he was in love with Anna and planned to marry her. This disputes entertainment journalist Larry Burkhead's claims that HE is the baby's father.

So everyone's like, Amy, why do we care?

I have no good answer for that, other than if you watched The Anna Nicole Show reality series on cable a few years ago, you'd know that this woman's life is a train wreck and way too juicy to ignore.

As described by Wikipedia...

The show followed the exploits of Anna Nicole Smith and her entourage; much of the focus of the series was on the fact that Smith had become morbidly obese after falling out of the public eye, no longer received regular modelling or acting work, and, at the time of the series' debut, was in a precarious financial state after lavish spending sprees and the battle against her step-son-in-law for her deceased husband's fortune. Story arcs included Smith's alleged period of unwilling celibacy (which Smith referred to as "the dry spell); her struggle to cure her miniature poodle's habit of attempting intercourse with inanimate objects; her love-hate relationship with her toothless, redneck cousin; and her "fashion feud" with flamboyantly homosexual interior decorator Bobby Trendy. Perhaps intentionally (as indicated by the series' tagline, "It's not meant to be funny. It just is.") many of the situations on the show were inexplicable or highly unlikely; for example, even in Smith's obese state, it was very unlikely that she could not find a single man willing to have sex with her, as she repeatedly claimed.

I'm secretly obsessed with Howard K. I've always thought his relationship with Anna was a little odd...I mean who goes to the Bahamas to give birth and brings along her lawyer? He was even in a movie with her called Wasabi Tuna in 2004 -- which, incidentally grossed a whopping $7,950 in ticket sales. Also in a bit of interesting timing, he got a divorce in 2002...the same year The Anna Nicole Show debuted with Howard K. as her ever-present legal counsel.

Is Anna his only client? And if she is his client, and he's making babies with her, isn't there something ethically unsound about that? So does this mean he's now unemployed?

These are burning questions that must be answered.
I smell a stinker of a TV movie coming...
