LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Dannielynn Birkhead's dad is returning to his Kentucky hometown to build a house for a struggling single mother.

Larry Birkhead says he identifies with the woman as a fellow single parent. The Louisville native is raising Dannielynn, the daughter of former model and actress Anna Nicole Smith, who died just over a year ago.

Birkhead says he wanted to do something positive for the community where he was raised. He is teaming with Habitat for Humanity, the non-profit group that builds homes for the needy.

The single mother who will move into the house has three children. Two suffer from spina bifida, a birth defect that affects the spinal cord.

Birkhead says he will name the home for Dannielynn.

Sadly, given his history of media-whoring, it's hard to take his charity at face value.
