Rita Cosby, TV journalist and author of Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death, was walking into a Manhattan book signing Wednesday night when she was officially served the documents in Howard K. Stern's libel case against her. (See video on The Insider.)

"It's all PR and spin,” Cosby, 42, told Usmagazine.com after being served while Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, looked on. “So I'm not surprised that they used this opportunity. This is par for the course for these characters."

Stern, former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith, filed the $60 million libel suit against Cosby and her publisher for alleging in Blonde Ambition that Stern, 38, and Larry Birkhead engaged in homosexual acts. The book also alleges that Stern and Birkhead struck a deal whereby Birkhead would get custody of Dannielynn in exchange for Stern being named executor of Smith's estate.
