'I'm not Birkhead's gay lover', insists Howard K. Stern

The rumours about the tape were mentioned in the book 'Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death' by MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby.

Cosby wrote that Smith had a tape of Stern and Birkhead having sex and watched it "over and over again" while relaxing in bed.

While attending the first birthday party of Birkhead and Smith's daughter, Dannielynn, on September 8 in Louisville, Kentucky, Stern blasted Cosby by telling Entertainment Tonight in an interview, that the information is false.

"Most of these witnesses, or, you can't even call them witnesses, but sources to Rita Cosby's book, they were doing media after media interview after Anna passed away and they took every shot at me that their imaginations could possibly dream up," Usmagazine.com quoted Stern, as telling Entertainment Tonight.

"And all of a sudden, the same people are coming back and they're saying, 'oh by the way, I forgot... Howard and Larry are gay and there's a video of them together.' It's ridiculous. I mean it's absolutely absurd.

"That woman Rita Cosby is either the dumbest person on earth or she knows that she's printing false information. And I don't think she's the dumbest person on earth," he added.

The 38-year-old also said that such false allegations will be harmful to Dannielynn, once she grows old enough to understand them.

"Dannielynn is gonna read this garbage and it's almost like she's going have to get counselling from the age of three," Stern said. (ANI)
