The Stripper, Josh Duhamel's Denial, And The Text Messages

I love a good Hollywood scandal. Don’t you?

For example, the stripper at the center of the Josh Duhamel cheating scandal, Nicole Forrester, is coming under fire – he says she made it all up – but Forrester tells the TV newsmagazine show INSIDE EDITION that she has proof! Love it!

Forrester: “He knows it’s true…when he sees those texts, he’s definitely going to be like, ‘Wow.’”

Forrester says she met Duhamel when he came into the Atlanta strip club where she worked. She says he called himself “JD” and that they exchanged about 25 intimate text messages. She’s sharing them exclusively with INSIDE EDITION.

On the night she says they had sex at the St. Regis Hotel, she wrote, “Wow ur scared,” meaning he was afraid to reveal his name. He replied, “Not really,” and “Wow, ur tough.”

Forrester explains to INSIDE EDITION why she sent him a text message saying he was scared.

Forrester: “[He was scared] to see me cause for whatever reason he’s not giving me his real name. Something’s going on. I’m not quite sure who he is.”

Inside Edition: “I don’t see much proof here…How do I know these texts are from Josh Duhamel?”

Forrester: “Because his number is on there.”

INSIDE EDITION traced the number that the text messages came from and it was no longer in service. It appears to belong to a prepaid, disposable phone bought in Beverly Hills – its owner is not listed. Still, Forrester insists she’s telling the truth, and even took a polygraph test administered by the National Enquirer magazine – the results – “No deception detected.”

Forrester: “Let him take a polygraph and pass it.”

Forrester claims Duhamel was desperate to save his marriage – and pleaded with her to keep their night together quiet.

Forrester: “He was like, ‘Hon, you have to deny that you ever knew me.”

She also says that he told her that he loved his wife. Forrester tells INSIDE EDITION what she would like to say to Fergie.

Forrester: “I’m sorry.”

Anna Nicole Smith Wanted Pierce Marshall Murdered!

I love a good murder plot story - especially one having to do with a deceased Hollywood star.

Case in point, on tonight’s INSIDE EDITION features an interview with Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-boyfriend who says she wanted him to kill her late husband’s son, Pierce Marshall!

Just released FBI documents reveal the late Anna Nicole Smith was probed in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire scheme. Her alleged target was Pierce Marshall, the son of Smith’s much older oil tycoon husband, Howard Marshall.

At the time, Smith was embroiled in a legal battle with Pierce Marshall over his dead father’s $400 million dollar estate.

Smith was interrogated by agents about the murder plot on July 3, 2000, according to just released documents. The documents stated, “Smith began crying and denied making such plans.” They also stated a revolver and a 3 ½ inch stainless steel knife were confiscated from Smith’s home. Also taken was one bizarre item – a black and orange hat, described as a “Dr. Suess hat.” Everything was returned to Smith seven months later.

Smith’s sister, Donna Hogan tells INSIDE EDITION’s Paul Boyd she loved her sister, but the claims of a murder plot “wouldn’t shock or surprise” her.

Other sources close to the late star say the whole story of a murder plot came from Smith’s ex-boyfriend, Mark Hatten.

Hatten spoke to INSIDE EDITION when he was in prison serving time for making criminal threats against Smith.

Hatten: “She wanted me to take care of it for her. If I wasn’t going to do it personally, {she wanted me} to get a contract to kill Pierce Marshall.”

Inside Edition: “So Anna Nicole asked you to kill the son of her ex husband?”

Hatten: “Absolutely, numerous times…She’d get jacked up on pain pills and this would come out, and she’d start saying, ‘Mark, you gotta kill him. I’m Anna Nicole, I can’t do it. You gotta take care of this for me. I’ll do anything for you. We’ll be set.’”

A letter in Smith’s FBI file states the agency “determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce Marshall.” That statement officially closed the Anna Nicole Smith murder investigation.
