But noooooooooo . . .

The Associated Press' Anna Nicole bureau has exclusively obtained the former sexpot's FBI records (as opposed to the records she used to pole-dance to) and learned that the FBI investigated whether Anna Nicole plotted to kill her tycoon husband's son as they battled for his father's fortune.

Anna Nicole's FBI records say the agency investigated her in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep the busty blonde from collecting his father's oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. He died three years ago of natural causes.

The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II's estate.

There is no indication how authorities became aware of any alleged scheme, but agents interviewed Anna Nicole on July 3, 2000. Told why she was being questioned, "Smith began crying and denied ever making such plans," a report said.

In what strikes Tattle as a bout of surprising lucidity, Anna Nicole told agents that killing Pierce Marshall would not have made sense because her ex-husband's money would still be tied up in a trust, and because she believed the court battle over the fortune was nearly over, the report states. She told agents she believed that the story about the plot had been made up by a former lover who was angry that she had broken off their relationship, according to the files.

"Smith adamantly denied ever contemplating such a crime," an agent wrote, and prosecutors eventually agreed the case could not proceed.

Keys to entrepreneurship

Alicia Keys is launching AK Worldwide, a company to handle her projects, especially those outside of music.

The first venture is the Barber's Daughters, a handcrafted jewelry line engraved with messages of hope and wisdom.

"The words, when you read them, they really do resonate with you. They kind of inspire you to want to find that place in yourself," she said, sporting a silver oval ring that read: "May you find inspiration and meaning soaked in the wonders of the imagination cradled in compassion of the heart and hold a will to make difference."

Huh?

Alicia also will launch iamasuperwoman.com, devoted to spotlighting inspirational women and causes.

"It really calls out to all those brilliant, amazing, fantastic women every day that are doing their thing and need kind of a community to support each other," she said.

Alicia credits Oprah Winfrey and other business-minded people with turning on her entrepreneurial spirit.

"Why do I love Oprah? Because she's able to bring you things that will really change your life," she said.

Weird how billionaire moguls can do that.
