Celebrity Justice
All Systems Go for Tuesday DNA Reveal

TMZ has confirmed all players are getting in place for the most dramatic moment in the Anna Nicole baby saga, and it will definitely happen Tuesday.

The people who need to be there have booked their tickets. Dr. Michael Baird, the DNA expert from Ohio, has cleared his schedule and will be front and center in a Bahamian court to authenticate his DNA findings. Larry Birkhead will be there, hoping to hear the critical word -- "match." If his DNA matches Dannielynn's, it will almost certainly change everything.

We're told Howard K. Stern has filed no objections since his appeal was rejected last week. The only rub could come in the rather large form of Virgie Arthur, the now universally disliked but omnipresent grandmother of Dannielynn.

One other item -- as we said on Greta's show several days ago, reports that Birkhead has hired a wrongful death lawyer are bogus. The fact is, Birkhead has no legal standing to sue for Anna's death. That would be Dannielynn's deal, and Birkhead doesn't have authority to represent her, at least not yet.

Birkhead has now issued the following statement on his website: "I have not hired or consulted anyone to represent me in a wrongful death suit. That accusation is totally false. The individual that started reporting this 'fact' didn't take the time to contact me or my attorneys to find out the truth. I have not even thought that far as of yet. Paternity first. Everything else next."

17. I am insulted at your comment that Virgie is "universally disliked." I admire this woman quest for her grandchild. True, if Birkhead is the father, he should have the child--I cannot say the same for Stern. I hope, that if Birkhead is the father, he will let Virgie see her granddaughter. I find it appalling that TMZ would try to sway people against Virgie and for Stern. Stern should never be allowed to have any child........present or future..."biological" or not.......and I use the word biological loosely when it comes to Stern, because there should be would be no "logic" in Stern fathering a child.

18. FINALLY!!! Now Dannielynn will be with the right person [hopefully]... Poor little girl... She's in the middle of this whole saga and she doesn't even know what's going on...

22. Office of Governor Charlie Crist (The people’s Governor)
State of Florida
PL-05 The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001

On your website it’s stated: I pledge to establish an ethical and hard working administration that will reflect Florida’s diversity, that will listen to your ideas, and that will fight for you, the people of Florida

Questions surrounding the suspicious death of Anna Nicole Smith remain unanswered. It’s alleged that the Seminole Police Department conducted a “sloppy” investigation then quickly closing the case. This is not justice for Anna Nicole Smith and simply frightening for we the people and myself concerned about potential foul play. I believe this matter must be investigated, very deeply, and key questions MUST be asked of the people near to and around Anna the morning of her suspicious death at the Hard Rock Casino in the State of Florida.

A tragic event such as this, given the facts that it’s absolutely a high profile case, death happening inside the Hard Rock Casino run by the Seminole Tribe Indians, with their policing abilities in question,,, perhaps Florida is not a safe vacation spot if a person can loose their life surrounded by potential enabler/s… possibility getting away with _ _ _ _ _ _.

Thank you.

23. My Best to You Larry

24. I don't like Larry, VIRGIE (MORE THEN ANYONE) or HKS but I do feel sorry for HKS because all of you have convicted him. You liked Debra O before she gave Larry a bill. TMZ had a video of Larry and Howard with Anna doing a lap dance on the good old Dr K. None of you said anything about Larry being there. I do think Larry is not perfect and I really think Virgie is not a good mom because if she was she would not have let Anna leave at 15. She was the Mom and the Adult that was the time to get control of Anna. Not when she was 22 and already on drugs. Get a life guys and think of the whole story. It doesnt start with Howard. It should have started and ended with her MOM!!!!

25. I so want Larry to be the father, but I just have an uneasy feeling. I KNOW Howard is NOT, but I am afraid if Larry isn't that scumbag will end up with the baby!~ That would be a disaster!!!

27. why would you report that vergie is diliked ??? i too respect her and feel she has the right to be in this baby's life and i feel larry is a good guy and will let her bond with her grandmother . the two will do the right thing for this baby!! stern and his family already are screwing the child up by bad mouthing her grandma and stowing her away !!

28. Howard is NOT holding the baby hostage, he is the LEGAL father.. the people who hate him and write these hateful blogs are ignorant of the law and the actual facts

Larry --

Hope someday your daughter appreciates all that you went through to get her.

Godspeed!

30. VIrgie is not disliked, Why would you say that. If Larry is not the father, they should give this baby to Virgie. Howard is a weirdo and Devil. Tell his Family to stop house stealing. Good luck to Ben and Ford, Get the free loader out. Finally it will end.
