Howard K. Stern Says He's Anna Nicole's Baby Daddy

Attorney Howard K. Stern said on "Larry King Live" that he's the father of Anna Nicole's newborn baby.

The revelation sets up a potentially nasty paternity battle. Stern appeared Tuesday night on "Larry King Live" disclosing his belief that he is the father. The statement is in sharp contrast to comments by Larry Birkhead who has told TMZ in the past that he is the father. Birkhead has asked for a paternity test and it is unclear whether Anna Nicole will oblige.

Stern said on King's show that he has been in love with Anna Nicole for along time and hopes the feeling is mutual.

46. someone posted on another site that Daniel tag teamed his baby sister saying "this mess is yours for the next 20 years." Did anyone else hear Howard say that Daniel died in his mother's hospital bed? freaky sad

47. To post # 36 Shawn Reese Obryan : What could I have done to offend you? You are coming down on me for calling Anna what she is. And then you are doing the same thing to me , while trying to come off as some saint.

. Anna put her sorrid past out there for all to know. I have a right to comment on her. She opened the door. However, YOU DON"T have a right to critisize me. You don't even know me. What I do know is this ........................

YOu are a real piece of work. I can't stand people who hide behind " Christ " while hurling stones at others at the same time Shame on YOu.

I can look at myself in the mirror and be proud of what I see. Can Anna ? I know who the father of my child is. HOw dare you comdemn me. while defending Anna Nicole.

Talk about a HYPOCRITE. You take the cake !!! At least I have morals and standards I live my life by. You are pathetic. I can't stand people who can't see the forest through the trees. You talk the talk. But you don't walk the walk. Talk about judgemental. YOu stink !!!!!!!!!!!

48. I SAW PICTURES AND VIDEOS ON LARRY KING LIVE OF ANNA NICOLE WITH HER SON DANIEL AND YOU CAN TELL THAT SHE WAS VERY CLOSE TO HER SON AND REALLY LOVED HIM AND HE SEEMED TO REALLY CARE FOR HER. HE WAS THE ONLY CONSTANT PERSON IN HER LIFE FOR 20 YEARS AND HIS DEATH HAS GOT TO BE UNBEARABLE FOR HER. EVEN THOUGH, I WISH SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MORE CONSERVATIVE AND MORE STABLE MOM FOR HIM THAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY GIVEN HIM MORE MOTHERLY ADVICE AND SUPPORT WHEN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH A GIRL ENDED, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO BECOME DEPRESSED AND SUBSEQUENTLY START TAKING ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND OTHER MEDICATIONS. AS FOR THE FATHER OF ANNA'S BABY, HOWARD STERN AND LARRY BIRCHEAD BOTH SAY THAT THEY ARE THE FATHER, BUT THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A PATERNITY TEST TO PROVE IF EITHER ONE IS THE FATHER. AFTER SEEING HOWARD STERN ON LARRY KING'S SHOW, IT MAKES ME WONDER IF HE IS SO COMMITTED TO ANNA BECAUSE OF THIS PENDING CASE WITH THE OLD MAN'S ESTATE WHERE SHE COULD BE AWARDED MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND IF HE IS IN THE PICTURE, WHETHER AS A LAWYER OR AS A LOVER, HE WILL BENEFIT FROM SOME OF THAT MONEY. BECAUSE HIS ACTIONS ON LARRY KING SEEMED TO BE OVER DRAMATIZED.

49. I just have to say, I wish them both the best of luck. I watched her reality show and he really does seem to love her. My heart goes out to her and the rest of her family in the loss of Daniel. He seemed like a good kid. I know that Anna Nicole doesn't enjoy the best reputation but nobody is perfect. Nothing will ever take the pain of losing her son away but hopefully she, Howard, and their baby girl will be able to take what they have and make a go of it. Everyone deserves to be happy and I hope that they can find just a little bit of that for themselves in the midst of all of this chaos. I wish that Daniel could be a part of it but in a way, I'm sure he will be. He may be gone but I don't think he will ever be forgotten. On the show it seemed like Howard was like a father-figure to him and they all seemed like a little family unit already. I hope they find peace and happiness, with or without all of that money. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
P.S. Howard K. Stern seems like a stand-up guy, I hope they work out.

50. I am a mother and grandmother and believe this is the time for more people to show respect and human kindness to Anna Nicole. Regardless if one agrees or not with her life style, she loves her children like all the rest of us and appears to have done a darn good job with her son. My deepest sympathy to Anna for the loss of your son and may Danni Lynn Hope open a new chapter of love and happiness for you.

51. I saw a commercial just minutes ago for a company called Life Gem that can create gemstones from the carbon of a decedent for a treasured memorial keepsake item (of jewelry primarily). If indeed Howard and Anna do plan to one day marry, or simply remain the closest of friends who share in the raising of her new baby girl, what a beautiful way to create either wedding or memorial rings for themselves and something sacred for Daniel's baby sister from the most precious stone on earth. I wish I could send this directly to them somehow, I can't help but think that they might find this as beautiful an idea and tribute as I do, as well as the long term joy and comfort of having an actual part of your loved one in the form of a priceless and prescious stone that you can wear and draw strenght from for the rest of your life.

52. The Anna Nicole Smith plot thickens. I always WONDERED what her REAL relationship was with her attorney, Howard K. Stern. I certainly hope that he did NOT kill her son, Daniel. I think that now is the time for those two to get married.

53. I am so Happy that Anna figured out that Howard was the man for her! The way he took care of Anna on the "Anna Nicole Show" You could tell that he was hopelessly in love with her. Im so happy for them both! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

54. That makes me happy too. Didn't follow the show but knowing they have each other after the terrible loss of her beautiful son Daniel, makes me feel much better for the both of them.

55. Who knows what Howard and Anna are really up to? But I don't really believe Howard K. Stern is the father. I think this is some type of legal maneuver to keep the "true" father away. This whole situation is very sad. The loss of Anna's son, Daniel is very sad; he really seemed like a nice, young man.

57. Anna Nicole needs to keep a calendar of who she sleeps with, and when. No wonder she hasn't made a statement about the childs father, she hasn't yet figured out exactly who it is!

58. I still say Larry is the father and Howard needs to back off. If this was his child we all would have known a long time ago and she would not have moved to another country to have his baby.I find it sad that a women could have so much hate and be so self centered not to realize that a child needs both of their parents in their lives. I look at Tom and Nicole , Demi and Bruce they put their children first and their feelings a side. I think Nicole needs a reality check.

59. This whole Anna Nicole saga just keeps getting more strange by the day. I doubt if anyone knows who the baby's "real father" is until DNA tests are done. Nothing would surprise me about that whole weird scene. I am sorry that Daniel passed away, however, and I also feel empathy for the new baby. It seems to me that Anna's whole life is like a "Tabloid Dream".

60. Saw the Larry King show; looked like ol' Howard has been dipping into Anna's purse for some of her pills. Thought he really seemed out of it!
