WWW- [Fox News]- Are you ready for the first fictionalized version of the Anna Nicole Smith story on TV? It’s coming this May.
Sources at last night’s premiere of “Talk Radio” on Broadway say that the whole demented saga will be filmed shortly for “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
The “Criminal Intent” version of Anna Nicole’s life and death will feature Kristy Swanson, the actress who played Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the movie (before Sarah Michelle Gellar did the TV series).
Howard K. Stern, they say, could be played by none other than Jon Lovitz. The “CI” writers have excised Larry Birkhead from their story, even though Kato Kaelin would have been a perfect choice. A combined character based loosely on Anna Nicole’s mother and sister is also being contemplated.
Swanson is an inspired choice to play Anna Nicole. She had a baby three weeks ago with Lloyd Eisler, her partner on “Skating With Celebrities.” He’s still married to the mother of his two very young children. She should get the tabloid scandal part of it just right.
