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."

62. 61. Anna probably knew that Howard wasn't the biological father, yet she wanted him to be named on the birth certificate and to help her raise Dannielynn. Keep fighting for custody, Howard and keep Virgirbilly away from the baby. It is what Anna wanted. And for those of you who say Anna was too stoned to make a decision, that would make Larry a rapist.

Anna can't choose the child's biology after birth--that is decided at conception!!!

64. I concur with #42 FYI,

Virgie Arthur was right all along and tried to warn her daughter to her dangerous surroundings. She also raised Anna's son danie as a little boy. Do you really believe she has not feeling for her family and she's simply in this for money? It looks like Harvey Levin and co. have bough into the Stern propaganda on this woman. I believe Stern launched that tirade attack on ET by Anna Nicole in direct response to her accusations directed at Stern regarding her grandson's death and because of outlets like ET and surprising TMZ, Virgie is being villified. Luckily most of the readers here seem to have gotten who the true villain is here. Leave this woman alone TMZ. She's been through enough. She's lost a daughter and a grandson and fears for the life of her baby granddaughter. How dare you question her motives in this? Any human being would respond exactly the same way in a case like this. Whatever fallout Virgie and Anna had over the years (probably over drugs), that has nothing to do with family and love. You're way out of line here, TMZ.

66. I BELIEVE LARRY IS THE BIO FATHER, BUT ANNA WANTED HOWARD TO RAISE DANNIELYNN. IT WOULD BE TOO TRAUMATIC TO RIP HER AWAY FROM HER CURRENT SURROUNDINGS. YOU KNOW THAT BABY HAS BONDED TO HOWARD. BIRKHEAD DIDNT DO A DAMN THING WHEN HE SAW THE "DUFFLE" OF DRUGS IN ANNA'S HOSPITAL ROOM BUT IGNORE IT.

But whose fault is that Dannielynn doesnt know the other people???? Stern's. You're right about the duffel bag---that was wrong. But if Stern had allowed everyone to visit this child--KNOWING she might some day live with the other people, it would be less traumatic for her...but Stern thought only of Stern, a usual.........he should let that child have all the love she can get!!!! He is selfish

70. CONTROL.. Its all about control. My daughter is living the same life and dont even know it. And theres nothing anyone can do about it. Virgie had high standards and did not approve of her daughters lifestyles. Does this make us bad parent? No contrary We are good parents trying to instill morals in our children then they get mixed up with Trash and are lavished with anything they want and they turn to trash. Oh well theyve made there bed! So Virgie I know where your coming from and keep on keeping on. Deep down Anna knew her Momma loved her, but being under HS$$$ mind control she couldnt break free. And no matter what is told they are convinced They are in control of there own lives. When it gets to this point only god can help them.

71. I don't like Vergie or HKS either. The disrespect Vergie showed for her daughter on the day of her funeral speaks volumes. The only innocent in all of this is the baby girl who will never have a normal childhood thanks to her self absorbed mother.

TMZ/Harry Levin

This is the second time in recent days you have made negative statements regarding Virgie Arthur.
1. "Virgie raises her head"
2. " Universally disliked"

These statements show bias andare untrue.

Report- don't comment please.

73. About damn time! But, remember, Snidely is known for tricks and dastardly deeds.

74. For those of you defending Virgie by giving her the name of "Grandmother" ................ please remember that this is a title by genetics only.

She was hated by Anna Nicole, who clearly stated that she "didn't want that woman touching her daughter".

Virgie hasn't been in the picture in over a decade.

She has NO RIGHTS just because there is a genetic tie. She is only here for the money and to be on tv. I personally think she is disgusting and should get out of the situation and go back to Texas. She got caught on the stand by having to acknowledge her relationship with her "good friend" from "Splash Magazine" ~~~~ the same "good friend" that she didn't know where he lived. She only went to visit Daniel's grave to have pictures taken and money was exchanged and she played dumb. Disgusting!

I wish Dannielynn the very best and I hope Virgie never gets to see her again, as that was Anna's wishes and she obviously has reason to have hated her mother.

We anxiously await good news for you and Danielynn

Hope you and Virgie find peace and a sense of relief when this is all over.
