You Like My Diary?

A bidding war has broken out over Anna Nicole Smith's diaries In which she talks about a pregnancy scare in the early 90s, drug use and her love for her really old former hubby, J. Howard Marshall.

A collector who lived next to Anna attained the diaries when her mom threw them out years before her daughter became famous. Months have been spent authenticating the 1992-95 diaries, and now the books will go to the highest bidder.

In one 1992 journal entry, the tragic model worries about telling a boyfriend she might be pregnant with his child - and considers abortion.

She writes, "He will only support me if I have it . But if I decide to go the other way he won’t . I’ll be on my own . I think that’s tacky . I’m scared."

In another "unseen" and "secret diary" she talks about her feelings for late-husband J Howard Marshall. The journal ends on the day he died in 1995.

Other entries detail the troubled star's pill popping habits. Riccio worked on authenticating Anna's writings and says there's a huge opportunity for thick dolla.

"People are putting the estimated value per diary at $500,000 to a million. Anna Nicole just pours out her soul, page after page, and it’s an unbelievably interesting read It's like a soap opera."

The live auction begins March 22nd.
