NBC has reportedly bought the rights to Birkhead’s story in a high six-figure deal.

The television movie will most likely focus on his long battle to get a paternity test for his love child with Anna Nicole, but don’t be surprised if the attention turns to Smith early and often. Her life and death have both been magnets for celebrity watchers everywhere.

Birkhead’s decision to sign the deal may have been influenced by the $620,000 in legal fees his former lawyer Debra Opri claims he owes her the six digit figure.
