Broke-Back Birkhead & Stern?!

Sorry, I've got Brokeback Mountain on the brain since posting about the Heath Ledger-Michelle Williams split. I can't believe I'm posting a bit about Howard K. Stern (of Anna Nicole Smith fame) and Larry Birkhead sucking eachother. YES, in that way.

Apparently the NY Daily News obtained a copy of journalist Rita Cosby's soon-to-be-released book "Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death" and Birkhead and Stern don't come out looking so rosy.

Cosby alleges Anna Nicole and a friend caught Birkhead and Stern with their shirts off and their pants around their ankles. WTF?!

Jackie Hatten, described in the book as one of Anna Nicole's closest friends, said the men were engaged in oral sex.

"Their bodies were intermingled," Hatten says, according to a copy of the book obtained by the Daily News. "It was obvious what was happening."

Birkhead told the Daily News, "None of it is true. I'm gonna sue Rita Cosby for it."

..."She got fired and nobody wanted her."..."The last story she did was on Anna and now she is doing this book because no one will hire her."

For his part, the NYDN quotes Stern's lawyer as saying: "It appears that Ms. Cosby has joined the ranks of tabloid journalists who are willing to publish the print equivalent of sewerage to engage in character assassination for profit."
