Celebrity Justice
Anna Nicole Paternity Test -- Deadline Set

Anna Nicole SmithThe judge in the Anna Nicole Smith baby dispute has ordered Smith to complete all DNA testing no later than Jan. 23.

Larry Birkhead, Smith's ex-boyfriend who claims to be Dannielynn's father, went to court last fall to ask a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to order both Smith and her baby to undergo DNA testing.

Today Judge Robert Schnider set the Jan. 23 deadline. Under the terms of the order, Smith and Birkhead can each choose the lab of their choice. We're told Birkhead's lawyer, Debra Opri informed the judge that her lab -- based in the U.S. -- would send reps down to the Bahamas directly to Smith's front door. Opri tells TMZ "all she has to do is get out of bed, put on a Anna Nicole gallery: Click to launch photosrobe and answer the front door."

Smith maintains her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, is the father.

61. It's not about one parent "winning" and another "losing." It's about THE CHILD WINNING, and knowing her TOTAL HERITAGE- both Mom and Dad. Regardless of who is the custodial parent, I would hope arrangements are made for this child to know both parents. There are very few parents on this earth who deserve to go through the grief of losing a child. I cannot imagine the horror of having a son die and knowing you are facing losing another child. I don't see anything worth applauding or cheering about.....especially for this child. This is a sad situation in case people don't get it. Perhaps if you are a parent you are a little more empathetic and compassionate for everyone involved.

63. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the way to start the New Year. Thank god somone is listening. Congrats Larry this is the greatest news we all been waiting for.


Keep Up the Hard work Mobsters even though we feel some defeat at times.
The wheels of Justice turn slowly in some cases so we just have to keep pushing forward.

I believe we will get Justice for Daniel. And Larry is well on his way to being Dannilynn's daddy.

God bless all.

64. #46: I'm a parent of two terrific now-raised daughters. If you think that this is how you're supposed to have children, if you think that this is how you're supposed to raise children, if you think that this is how you're supposed to grieve children (i.e., let's have a commitment ceremony, but bury my child later...oh yeah, and I can't seem to even legally marry the supposed daddy of my child whilst frolicking on the Love Boat and then in the water)...then lady, you are out of your ever lovin' mind. I'm supposed to have empathy and compassion for some ho who involves a baby while hiding out in a home that's not hers, with a father that's probably not her child's, while avoiding a paternity suit and the thousand other freak show antics she's performed? It begs me to ask the question: What kind of mother are YOU?

65. I t hink Anna Nicole is confused. She could have slept with someone other than who she claimed to have had slept with. She don't even know who the father is. Don't be surpised if its neither one of the two mens mentioned as possible fathers of the baby. As we all know what is done in the darkness will be revealed in the light. The truth will come out really soon.

66. Sorry...that's to #44...hey TMZ, ya mind keeping the numbers the same for longer than ten seconds?

67. Anna would have the done the DNA testing a long time ago had she truly wanted the press to go away. She is loving all the attention. That is what she is all about. She was a washed up old model until this stirred things up again. Yes, Howard is a loser as well. He is all about the money. He has got to be smarter than to be in love with a drug addicted, washed up, blonde! May the best man win. Oh wait, there is no best man in this case :)

68. Let's hope this all has a safe ending.

70. Anna Nicole needs to get her tubes tied. She doesn't deserve to have ANY children, she is so strung out on drugs! She's a slut wanna-be who has no talent other than flashing her fakse boobs. And Howard Stern...you figure it out. He has been hanging onto her like a leech for years... She inheirits a load of money... SOMEONE is supplying her with whatever is making her so high all the time.. then her son mysteriously dies, leaving just spaced-out Anna and new baby, who Stern tries to get the world to believe is his. He keeps her sequestered away where nobody can get near her...one has to wonder what his motives for all this are, and I can just guess it might be $$$$$$$. If he marries Smith, and claims the baby, that money could go to him should any other unforseen accidents occur. This is a made for TV movie indeed. Just one thing left..enter the hero, Larry to save the baby, and the day! I smell oscar buzz on this one!

Posted at 9:05PM on Jan 2nd 2007 by Anna is a scumbag

71. Won't you all feel like a**holes if howard really is the father. Shame on you all for preying on ANYTHING other than your own demons (which you all have) What goes around, comes around.. you will all get what is coming to you in one way or another eventually.

73. It will be pretty sad when the paternity test come back negative. Neither Larry or Howard is the father I believe that her deceased son fathered the baby.

74. #56 LA LA -- IF Howard was the father, why would ANS tell Ben that the father was Larry Birkhart? Yeah, we'd all be shocked, but there isn't even a MINISCULE possibility that Howie fathered this child. You'll see.

75. The problem ANS has is time and it's not on her side. Money running out, court appointment deadline, scumbag, liar, toejam for a boyfriend. The clock is ticking and it tows for ANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if she faked an illness!
