In a new tell-all about Anna Nicole Smith former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby alleges that Anna’s exes Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead were secret gay lovers. “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death” describes a brief tryst between the men, and Jackie Hatten, a friend of Anna Nicole’s, claims she found Howie and Larry with their shirts off and pants around their ankles, engaged in oral sex.

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

“If she printed that then she is really getting sued,” Larry, who lost out on a $1.7 million picture deal with OK! last week over the reports of a gay affair with Howard, has said.

“If she printed that then she is really getting sued,” Birkhead yelled. “My attorneys are going after her and that is absolutely false. And I am sure Howard and the estate and everyone else involved is going to sue her too. This is just nonsense.”

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

Howard Stern’s attorney tells the NY Daily News the claims are “false and defamatory.” “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.”

The book accuses Howard and Larry of cutting a secret deal after Anna Nicole was buried in March, with Birkhead getting custody of Dannielynn in return for Stern being named executor of the star’s estate.
