Two diaries written by Anna Nicole Smith have sold on online auction site eBay for more than $500,000 (255,00 pounds) to a German man planning to use them as the basis of a book, according to the memorabilia(1) house that sold them.

Jeff Woolf, co-partner and auction director at Universal Rarities in Corona, California, said the diaries, from 1992 and 1994, were found a few years ago by a man cleaning out(2) a house in Los Angeles where Smith stayed during a filming project.

He sold the diaries to a memorabilia collector who runs a shop on Hollywood Boulevard who came forward with the diaries after the mystery death of the former Playmate in a Florida hotel on February 8 at the age of 39.

In the 1992 diary, which has the words "I follow my own star" on the cover, Woolf said Smith confesses: "I hate for men to want sex all the time. I hate sex." This diary sold for about $285,000.

In the second diary Smith writes about the illness of her billionaire husband Howard Marshall, who died in 1995 at the age of 90, with a religious awakening with lots of references to Jesus. This sold for about $230,000.

Woolf said the demand for Smith memorabilia had been overwhelming(3) following her death so the price realised for these diaries was not that surprising.

"I don't think I've had the luck of being in such a situation, where the timing was really that perfect as far as the peak of someone's popularity in the news," he told Reuters.

"The gentleman who bought them required to be anonymous but I can tell you he is from Germany and has the intention of making a book out of them and doing some things in the publishing world."

The long-awaited results of an autopsy(4) on Smith will be made public on Monday by a Florida medical examiner.

Her death triggered a bitter and highly publicised legal feud(5) over her remains and the custody(6) of her 6-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, who might one day inherit(7) millions.

Smith was buried in the Bahamas on March 2.

Her longtime companion and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, is listed as the father on her daughter's birth certificate but several other men, including Los Angeles photographer Larry Birkhead, also claim to be the father and the paternity(8) issue is still being fought in the courts.

兩本Anna Nicole Smith日記在易趣上以50萬美元的高價拍賣給一名德國人。出售日記的紀念館透露這名德國男子計劃用它作為寫書的參考材料。

加州科羅納Universal Rarities合伙人、拍賣理事Jeff Woolf稱這兩本日記寫于1992年到1994年間，幾年前被人從洛杉磯一所房子中清理出來的。Smith曾因拍攝需要在這里居住過。

Smith曾是花花公子封面女郎，今年2月8日在佛羅里達神秘死亡，年僅39歲。她死后，這名男子將日記賣給好萊塢大道上的一個紀念品收藏家。

1992年的日記封面上寫著“我追隨自己的明星”。Woolf說Smith在日記中坦白：“我討厭男人總是要做愛。我討厭做愛。”這本日記售價28.5萬美元。

在第二本日記中，Smith提到在1995年病逝的老公Howard Marshall。Marshall死時已達90歲高齡，是個億萬富翁。Smith對此寫了很多宗教方面的覺悟并多次提到上帝。這本日記售價23萬美元。

Woolf說Smith的逝世使人們瘋狂尋求她的遺物，這樣的價格并不奇怪。

他對路透說：“我從未想過自己可以如此幸運，在一個人的名聲達到頂峰的時候出售她的物品。”

“買家希望匿名購買，但是我可以告訴你他來自德國，將利用日記寫一本書并在出版界有所作為。”

等待良久的Smith驗尸報告將于周一在佛羅里達由驗尸官公布于眾。

她的死亡引起激烈、備受關注的遺產和女兒撫養權之爭。她六歲的女兒Dannielynn有一天可能會成為上百萬家產的繼承人。

Smith的遺體在3月2日埋葬于巴哈馬。

孩子出生證明上注明的生身父親是Smith多年的伴侶和律師Howard K. Stern，但是還有其他幾名男士都稱自己是孩子的父親，其中包括洛杉磯攝影師Larry Birkhead。親子之爭仍然在進行中，等待法庭裁決
