Business
Splash News has been credited with several celebrity stories. Some examples include the first images of Michael Jackson's first child, Tiger Woods' mistress, Sandra Bullock's first public appearance with her newly adopted son, and Anna Nicole Smith's death in 2007 where Splash were the only agency allowed in the church during the funeral service held in the Bahamas.
