Anna Nicole Smith's last movie "Illegal Aliens" is reputed to be so bad that, despite her prominence in the news, it's heading straight to DVD on May 1.

But, beware: no joke. The low-brow, high-camp comedy — touted as "Charlie's Angels" goes sci-fi, with a touch of "Men In Black" — is going to be unspooled at the Cannes Film Festival next month! Out of competition, we must presume. The idea of Anna Nicole winning best actress — sacre blue! — for portraying one of three "super-hot babes who arrive to protect Earth from intergalactic forces of evil" (so says the press release) is too much to bear!

The 93-minute sci-fi spoof was coproduced and cowritten in part by Anna Nicole herself. Her late son Daniel is credited as an associate producer.
