Anna Nicole Smith's legacy continues to live on in the court rooms as the dust continues to settle following the Playboy pin-up's untimely death on Feb. 8 in Hollywood, Fla. 

The week opened up with news of Anna Nicole's cause of death.  Taking the easy way out, Florida medical examiners declared that Smith died of an accidental overdose.  They also said they found at least 9 drugs in her system, and that they did not suspect any foul play.

Her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead seems to be pretty confident that he is Anna Nicole's baby's daddy.  TMZ.com caught Larry at a Baby Gap in Miami buying clothes for Dannielynn.  Larry also did something that threw me off a little when he trademarked the phrase "Goodnight, My Sweet Anna Baby" to use it in movies, books, TV programs, Internet programs and stage plays.  That's the  statement he says Anna Nicole Smith used to ask him to tell her when he tucked her into her methadone dreams at night.   

Anna Nicole's most recent companion Howard K. Stern insists that he is Dannielynn's father and says that Larry Birkhead has his days wrong.   Filing an appeal to prevent Dannielynn's paternity tests from ever being released, Stern claimed that Birkhead has mis-calculated his dates thus there is no way he is the father.  This will likely put this case on hold past the scheduled April 3rd hearing scheduled to reveal the DNA results.

Howard K. Stern is also to blame for stalling the case investigating Daniel Smith's death in the Bahamas.  Stern's attorney Wayne Munroe first challenged the use of the jury in the inquiry, but a judge promptly knocked that down.  Now Stern has everything on hold pending a Bahamian Supreme Court ruling on whether or not the jurors should have to complete questionnaires before being finalized. 

I have said it before, and I'll say it again -- what does Howard K. Stern have to hide?  If he is Dannielynn's father, then he shouldn't be worried to prove it with a paternity test.  If he didn't kill Daniel Smith then the shouldn't be worried that jury could consider his death a homicide.  If he has nothing to hide, he shouldn't be filing all of these appeals.  I am not saying Howard K. Stern killed Daniel or Anna Nicole Smith, but I will tell you that he is acting like a guilty man.

He even released a statement on Monday saying that Anna Nicole refused medical attention before dying.  Who would release such a statement about your dead wife?  Someone who was you married for all the wrong reasons possibly?

Meanwhile, Anna Nicole's estranged mother Virgie Arthur has been in the court room every day.

This has been an exciting week of nightclub news for GaySocialites.com, and the world in generally really.  Britney Spears got a speedy graduation from rehab to go to a party, a historic nightclub is reopening and its basically taking over Saturday nights in NYC, and some gay New York DJ's have decided to throw down at a straight club.  Could the nightlife really be coming back?!

As we told you earlier this week, New York City's gay nightlife has basically unified to bring you one of the biggest gay parties in New York history.  John Blair, Alan Picus and Mistress Formika Jones are leading the reopening of New York City's Avalon.  Avalon was known as the Limelight for the first few decades of its existence before John Blair took over and reinvented the club just a few years ago.  For a while it looked like a retailer such as H&M might take the space and turn it into a clothing outlet. 

Instead, just about every gay promoter, host, drag queen, performer, dj and patron will flood back to the church turned nightclub ever Saturday night starting March 31!

GaySocialites.com is joining the crew that includes John Blair, Alan Picus, Mistress Michael Formika (as we mentioned) along with Steve Sidewalk, Vito Fun, Cazwell, Amanda LaPore, Chris Ryan, DJ Adam, Acid Betty, Kitty Litter, Seth Gold, James Copolla, Danny Enichi and well just about all the NYC nightclub icons... you get the drift.  It's going to be insane, and we hope you'll join us there.  I, personally, will host a Scandalous Show in the Scandalous Spider club presented by Alan Picus.  It's a VIP club inside Avalon that exclusively permits patrons that are 18 or older!  If you think you've seen one of my crazy shows before, you ain't seen nothing yet!!

As I'm really excited about Scandal in the Spider Club at Avalon, I am also excited about the new club down the street called Rush at 16th and 6th.  I have worked at 579 Sixth Avenue for 4 years, and I can't believe what the new owners have done to the place.  You will be so freakin' surprised.  I'll still be involved there, and you will see some amazing things going on at the ALL NEW Rush.  If you're in NYC, then come check it out this Saturday.  I'll be hosting.

Another sign that nightlife could be reviving is that Britney Spears is out of rehab!  Why did she leave?  To attend a party.  Consequently, the party was cancelled.  You see it was her estranged husband Kevin Federline's birthday party, and some of his sponsored bailed -- so he couldn't afford it anymore.  We're still looking forward to seeing Britney out and about. I'm sure she'll have to take some time away from divorce settlements.  Besides, it looks like she'll only have the kids half of the time since Britney and K-Fed are going to share custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.  I just hope Brit-Brit doesn't ever have another drink in her hand or any powder around her nose!

Before I conclude, another new party!  This is what happens when gay guys invade one of New York City's most popular straight clubs. 

Sundays in New York City have seemed somewhat like a ghost town in NYC since Alan Picus and John Blair cancelled their Sunday night party at Myst to focus on the Saturday mega-party at Avalon.  GaySocialites.com was happy to break the story that DJ Adam and Steve Sidewalk are teaming up to bring you Hot Mess at Porky's on Sundays.  It will be hosted by the aforementioned DJs, Chris Ryan, Drew Zailen, Mimi Imfurst, Rainblo & Jason Preston (yes, Marc Jacob's former boy toy -- I bet he's got some stories!!)  I'll also be around there, because GaySocialites.com is the official media outlet for Hot Mess at Porky's!  We're happy to be on-board!
