Through the (Fun House) Looking Glass Mirror

Larry Birkhead and Jerry Stiller: factional fathers in fictional roles.

Birkhead, sperm donor to the car crash that was Anna Nicole Smith and winner of the Danielynn Smith lottery, is reportedly parlaying his good luck into a "reality" television show.

Contrast this with hall of fame — is there such a thing? there certainly should be — Stiller, whose career began in the role of real life/stage husband to Anne Meara, now taking on what has become the comfortable role of crazy father to his (and Meara's) real life son Ben Stiller. They appear in The Heartbreak Kid remake of the 1972 American, not 1993 Australian, film.

** It's a bit too post-modern to define when two guys pretend to be the fathers they're not. **
