Celebrity Justice
Birkhead Asks Judge for Paternity and Drug Tests

TMZ has learned the man who claims to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter is sending his lawyer to court tomorrow, to ask a judge for an immediate order requiring Anna Nicole to come back to California STAT with her baby.

Deborah Opri, the attorney for Larry Birkhead, will go to Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday at 8:30AM ex parte -- which means without the other side present -- and ask the judge to order Anna Nicole to return to California for a paternity test. Opri will also ask that Anna Nicole submit to drug testing, thus setting up the potential for a bitter custody fight.

Birkhead has already filed legal papers which ask for a paternity hearing, but tomorrow's court appearance kicks everything up a notch. In essence, Opri will argue that a paternity test is an emergency and that waiting will cause Birkhead irreparable harm.

Howard K. Stern, Smith's lawyer, has announced that he's the daddy. Birkhead begs to disagree. It is unclear if a California judge has legal authority to order Smith, who is in the Bahamas, to return to the U.S. for paternity and drug testing.

31. Hey Post #27: moving right along.:

I see you have the same facts that I do. Finially someone who gets the Big Picture. If you use your common sense and go back over the story board it's pretty logical what's going on here.

Anna can run but in the end she can't hide. I hope they nail her sorry drug addicted ass right to the wall. I use to feel compassion for her when her son passed away , Now I only feel contempt. She is possibily the worse mother I have ever encountered. To infect an innocent child is an atrocity. It is unforgivable. She should be ashamed of herself. She is so high all the time that she doesn't even have a clue. The only way she can escape her guilt and wrong doing is to submerge herself in illegal substances. She really is pathetic. Shame , Shame , Shame ........

34. What A Dumb Ass (post no. 32)- I would imagine you are a regular subscriber to The National Enquirer, Star Magazine, Globe, etc? You buy into everything you read too? Certainly you are entitled to your "opinion" (however Dumbass it is), but if it is okay to be entitled to an opinion here, I think you are a DUMB ASS idiot for buying into any of this crap. One more thing, if we are all entitled to our opinion HERE, why are you attacking back at me for my post?? Now, color you a "Dumb Ass"!!

Posted at 8:20PM on Oct 3rd 2006 by Laughing at all of YOU

35. To post # 30 Laughing at all of you.:

You are the one that knows nothing. I do have personal knowledge of this pig. I have known for years of her drug use as do a lot of other people in the Entertainment Industry. I have family members who have worked with her professionally. So yes , I do know. This is not Gossip it is true. It is not the best kept secret by any means. They made a public announcement what drugs were found in Daniel's blood stream. I'm not making this sh*t up. Why you constantly defend these celebrties is beyond me. Are you star stuck or what ? These people are very flawed. They have many vices and problems.

. Just take a look at her and her history. You don't have to believe me, her sorrid past tells the whole story. Don't shoot the messenger.

If you want to get pisst off at someone, get pisst of at Anna. I didn't make her what she is. She did. It's funny how people's feather's get all ruffled when they hear something they don't like. You're one of those people. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are very ignorant.

Why do you think she slurred her words and always came off like a drunk during public appearances ? That was no act. She was high as a kite. You're in extreme denial. Get a grip on reality Pal.

You will be back eating crow when the truth does come out. Than you will be sorry for giving me sh*t. Think logicially my friend. It will come to you. I will forgive you for your obvious lack of common sense. Next time you come on blogging here you will have PIE IN YOUR FACE ,BIG TIME.

Just trying to school the people who don't have a clue. Thanks for the support. I definately will be back to check on this particular site.

37. obviously, laughing at you, dumbass, isn't capable of reading the news stories as they are posted on the internet. The postings were cut and paste quotes, you dumbass. Nothing made up by me. Keep on posting and keep on exposing your dumbass. Ha! Ha! Ha!

38. I've been reading interviews with the alleged father. He seems truly concerned about this little baby girl. And he did not just come out of the woodwork to go after Nicole after Daniel’s death. He’s was pursuing a court ordered paternity test before she went to the Bahamas and claims she went there because of their laws regarding a mother’s rights and to avoid him and the paternity test. He also wants her to take a court ordered drug test and has volunteered to take one himself.

A father, especially one that can properly care for the child has rights just like the mother does. A mother, especially one that can not properly care for her child and is addicted to drugs it not the best candidate for raising an infant. This is my opinion.

'People' Pays $1M for Pics of Anna Nicole's Wedding/Suffering

annahoward.jpgYou have to hand it to Anna Nicole Smith: despite the sudden, tragic death of her son Daniel just days after the birth of her baby girl, she seems to have made quite the comeback. Financially speaking, that is. Immediately following Daniel's death, she had Getty Images broker the final photos of her son and daughter, taken hours before his death, which were eventually sold to In Touch for a nice $375K or so. But that's not enough to assuage this woman's suffering! So last week, when she had her emotional, fake wedding to her lawyer Howard K. Stern (who also claims to be the father of her new child), she had someone whip out the PowerShot and take a whole new round of snaps. And wouldn't you know it, Getty Images came to the celebrity weeklies with 30 images, ready to broker an offer. The lucky winner? People, who is said to have forked over $1 million for the not-wedding wedding photos in a classy little bidding war (Radar confirms the sale).

So what's People ed Larry Hackett getting for his money? Pictures of Anna in a wedding dress with Stern, posing on the catamaran where they wed, and several images where sad little 3-week-old Dannielynn is being held. So what makes these banal shots worth $1 million? In one pic, Anna is supposedly holding the baby while wearing pasties. Apparently, they're saving the one wi
th the titty tassles for Cookie.

40. I'm TRULY sorry that Anna Nicole just lost her son, but she really had no business having another child. She spends her time promoting herself appropriately or not, sleeping around with more people than there are in the 213 area code, and slurring her words -- if you get my drift. I'm really just appalled, and now, because of her trampy lifestyle, the drama and crap has already begun in this baby's life. Geeeeezzzzz. ....

41. First of all if anna is addicted to drugs or alcohol she should be pitied not hated. I'm sure that she could never forgive herself if she contributed in any way to her son's death. As far as these 2 a**holes who are fighting a paternity suit are concerned they should be more concerned about getting this poor tragic figure into rehab and counseling. Pretty soon she'll be dead too and then they can fight each other!!!

42. Wow. and I thought some of the folks in my family was screwed up. They have nothing on Follywood.

43. Post #37 moiving along : That comment was truly priceless.

LMAO. I released more endorphines than a 5 mile run Thanks for that. IT was great . Your obviously are very knowledgable. Unlike laughing at you, who obviously is clueless. He does love a little pie in his face. ....................lol

Your post #30 was very informational. The facts in that paint a very sick individual who will stop at nothing to get publicity. She just sunk a step lower on my opinion later. Posing with pasties to get attention while holding her baby is not only in poor taste, it is shocking. Who does that ? Her publicist must be going crazy. How do you do damage control for that ? Now I am more convienced than ever that this woman is totally off the deep end. She has to be mentally impaired.

You have to be a very unselfish person to be a good mother. She is the most self serving individual I have seen in a long time. Putting her selfish needs before her children. She is greedy and in love with herself. All of this disturbing behavior she is publicly displaying is going to turn around and bite her right in the ass.

If I was a judge I would TAKE THAT BABY FROM HER RIGHT NOW. , JUST BASED ON WHAT i've seen so far. What a HAG.!!!!!!!!

44. Correction for post # 43 by the wise old owl.

Reference to post # 30 should have read POST # 39 , that's what I ment to type.
Just in case you looked .

45. Where was Mr. Wonderful throughout the pregnancy? I would imagine sitting by the pool waiting for Anna to give birth so he could sue her for millions. What kind of man would do this to the mother of his so-called-child after just losing her son?The baby will still be there to test in a few months when things calm down. What is the rush? THE MONEY, OF COURSE! We love you Anna, stay strong.
