Birkhead: Accuser Hatten's a "Loser"

Larry Birkhead spat back at the woman who's claiming that he and Howard K. Stern were lovers, calling her a "loser" with a grudge.

According to the New York Daily News, Birkhead says that former pro volleyballer Jackie Hatten "isn't a credible source," and adds that she "tried to come to the Bahamas to see Anna last year and Anna wouldn't let her ... This book is coming from the losers club because they all have axes to grind."

Hatten's brother is Mark Hatten, who's sitting in a California prison for making threats against Anna Nicole, and once claimed to be Dannielynn's daddy. Oddly enough, Jackie Hatten once said that she thought that Birkhead and Smith were "madly in love" after their first date. "They were trying to have babies the first day they met in my bed, okay?" she told Larry King back in February.

Some kind of explosive device detonated outside a studio owned by "The Sopranos" star Michael Imperioli early this morning, wrecking a parked van but causing no harm to any humans. Oh, marone!

"It was a very loud boom, like a lightning storm," said a witness to the New York Post, and the blast "sent huge clouds of smoke billowing" into the air. There was no immediate link made between the blast and Moltisanti's Studio Dante, nor to the nearby Italian restaurant.
