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."

31. I don't get the "universally disliked" comment about Virgie.......if nothing else we KNOW she is related to the baby. Seems only right she should be visiting with her---(as well as Larry)---just in case these people will soon be a part of Dannielynn's life---but I guess that is common sense and there hasn't been much of the excercised in this mess as of yet.

34. I too don't get the deal of TMZ reporting that everyone "dislikes" Virgie.
I like her just fine. Certainly don't agree with everything she does, but she is covering all her bases as the Grandma.

37. Ummmmmm let me see. My son can live with a pregnant woman, write his name on the birth certificate with her permission and I become grandma! We all move to the Bahamas, my other children along with myself can keep the maternal grandmother away from her blood kin and she’s hated? I don’t understand the hatred towards Virgie. Sure her and Anna had some problems but what parent hasn’t? Their problems began with HK$ and crew and Virgie continues to have to battle for her rights along her grandchild and she’s hated? If Larry isn’t the father, I truly hope Virgie wins this battle in order to protect that precious baby from HK$. After all Anna trusted her with Daniel the first six years of his life AND if HK$ hadn't stepped in Anna and her mother would be speaking today.

39. I hope Larry changes her Name, get rid of the baggage that goes with it. Hannah Rose is pretty and was her orginal name. Maybe she will never have to know about her mom's drug abuse.

42. 31. 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

Posted at 10:29AM on Apr 7th 2007 by kay



The actual facts are that this baby doesn't know her paternity----regardless of WHO it is--and ONE person is responsible for that....try thinking of the baby, and what she would want!!! Stern will take care of Stern!

43. Larry, the Lord is ultimately the one in control. I believe you will finally have the peace of mind when the DNA results are revealed, that you are Danneilynn's father. Please know that most Americans support you. It is clear to so many of us, that you have been honest and genuine throughout this entire situation. The fact that HK$ withdrew his appeal to contest the DNA results becoming known, is extremely "telling" of how he is running scared. He knows he is not the father, you know he is not the father, Anna Nicole knew he was not the father and most of America knows he's not the father. MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT THE BAHAMIAN COURTS MOVE SWIFTLY TO PUT YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL INTO YOUR ARMS WHERE SHE BELONGS.

GOD BLESS YOU AND DANNIELYNN LARRY.

What the majority of people have convicted HK$ of is holding a baby hostage and squatting in a home that he has no right to be in. If he thought there were any chance he were the baby's father, he'd have done the test immediately. MOST of us are very concerned for the welfare of the baby. ...another thought I have, as a child advocate who volunteers many hours to www.pendulumfoundation.org --- it's really sad when a person goes to bat for an abused child and can't get social services involved. Here, we have people from most countries, and probably millions in the U.S. who would like social services to put the baby in protective custody until the whole thing is checked out - yet she's been held captive for nearly 7 months....in spite of the fact that the aunt said, "over my dead body", which sounds like a threat to me.
