If there's one thing you need to know about horse races, it's that they are the perfect chance to wear big hats and fabulously over-the-top outfits!

Well little Dannielynn and Larry Birkhead took that to heart as they wore Mary Poppins themed outfits to the Kentucky Derby this weekend!

Chim Chim Cher-ee, indeed!

The late Anna Nicole Smith's daughter and her pops were cuter than ever dressed as Mary Poppins and Bert and looked supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as they made their grand entrance!

Well, we certainly thought the ads were cute and very tastefully done, but apparently not everyone agreed with us!

Anna Nicole Smith's baby's daddy, Larry Birkhead, has come under fire for allowing their daughter Dannielynn to pose for the GUESS Kids campaign.

But he’s not backing down!

The proud papa stands by his decision to allow his daughter to participate in the campaign, and according to him, Dannielynn wanted to do it as a tribute to her mom!

How sweet!

Check out the video (above) to hear Larry’s take on the controversy!

Anna Nicole's baby daddy, Larry Birkhead has decided to put her items on the auction block to raise money for their daughter Dannielynn's future.

Larry explains his decision, saying:

"It's like, do I want to hold on to one of Anna's dresses, or do I want to try to help Dannielynn's future? Dannielynn has different needs than other kids. She has to have security because we have a lot of curious people and it creates a bit of a problem. And now that she's starting school, she'll need to go to a private school."

Some of the items up for grabs include many of Anna's dresses, furniture, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, as well as her own paintings.

Birkhead adds:

"I have come to the realization that you don't have to have something in your hands for it to be a memory. I think Anna would appreciate that these items are going to help Dannielynn thrive and flourish and continue being the great kid that she is."

He makes a very good point. And it's great to see that he's looking out for their daughter.

Larry has made some exceptions with where certain proceeds will go.

Money collected from a dress Anna wore in a PETA ad will go to the animal rights group. He also plans to set aside a certain amount of the proceeds that will be donated to Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith Foundation.

If you're wanting to take part in the auction, it'll all be going down on June 26th at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

Louisville native, Larry Birkhead, also attended the Kentucky Derby festivities this weekend.

On Friday night, he headed to the Barnstable Brown Gala wearing a striped suit and giving the "thumps up" to the paparazzi.

But on Saturday, Larry decided to take little Dannielynn along with him to the Derby event.

And the 3-year-old looked adorable as ever in her little, pink dress!

Gayface Birkhead also took his daughter to visit the Kentucky Derby Museum fashion exhibit featuring a pink, sequined V-neck dress which Anna Nicole Smith wore to the 2004 Derby.

There may have been some debate over who her father was, but there is no question who her mother is - Danielynn is the spitting image of Anna Nicole Smith!

Very cute - and very big! Somewhere in the last three years she just shot up!

The little lady enjoyed an afternoon with her dad, Larry Birkhead, as they went pumpkin picking in Beverly Hills.

Thankfully, she seems happy, healthy, and bright! We think Anna would have been proud!

The most anticipated testimony in the recent Anna Nicole Smith hearing finally began on Friday as Larry Birkhead, father of Anna Nicole's young daughter, took the stand against Howard K. Stern, Dr.Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor

Unlike Anna Nicole's former bodyguard, Maurice Brighthaupt, who took the stand before Larry and hashed out all the information he could, Larry surprisingly attempted to stay dignified and polite, answering questions as honestly and as straightforward as possible.

When asked about the drugs he could recall Anna Nicole indulging in, he replied with a list: “Topamax, Klonopin, Lasix, Valium and some sort of potassium pill. Methadone was a regular medication. I didn’t see Dilaudid. Vicodin was used throughout the relationship.”

He continued to explain that he suspected that Anna Nicole was taking extra prescriptions from two different doctors very early on in their two year relationship. He informed Dr. Kapoor of this theory, but nothing ever came of it.

He also divulged into the "working relationship" he now finds himself in with Howard K. Stern, though he recalls the times in which Anna Nicole was still alive, where things were "icy".

But mainly, Larry focused on the terrible quality of life that Anna Nicole endured during her detox from the massive amounts of drugs:

“She’d get up ‘to feed the dogs,’” Birkhead said of one of Smith’s middle-of-the-night awakenings during a detox visit, in which she imagined she was back at home. “The IV cart was still attached to her and I yelled, ‘Anna!’”

Larry will take the stand again today.

We have a feeling this will definitely go to trial, which will probably mean another year of this craziness.

So sad.

To be honest, we're surprised it took him this long.

Larry Birkhead seems to be having issues finding some companionship, so the only logical step was to call the Millionaire Matchmaker! Larry is in talks to star in the Bravo reality hit show that follows matchmaker Patti Stanger as she finds the perfect woman for unlucky-in-love millionaires.

We didn't know Larry had THAT much money. We know little Dannielynn probably does, but him?

Last night, Patti spilled the news at the Really Awards, saying that the deal was in the works and that she really hopes it goes through, for Danielynn's sake:

"I knew Anna Nicole. I fixed her up back in the day and I want that child to have a great mom."

Us too, but we can't see any of the gold-digging broads you tend to bring around doing the trick. Prove us wrong, though, Patti.

See if you can find someone with half a brain, some sense of genuine emotion, and a liking for kids who's also willing to also have her relationship taped for all of America to watch in their living rooms. Good luck!

Update: PerezHilton.com has confirmed with Larry Birkhead that the single dad will NOT be doing the show. Contrary to Patti's hopes that he will join, Larry told them he was not interested months ago.
