Larry Birkhead's lawyer tells TMZ there will be no negotiating with Howard K. Stern.
Debra Opri says the only subject of negotiation is "how fast he [Stern] will produce the child for a DNA test and how quickly he will allow that child to go to California with her real father."
As TMZ has been reporting, Stern has been asking Birkhead for some involvement in Dannielynn's financial affairs after paternity is established. Now Opri says, "There were never any deals. It was a one-sided discussion."
Opri tells TMZ she did not want to respond to Stern's overtures until after the funeral. Birkhead's hardline stance now puts the ball in Stern's court -- will he submit Dannielynn for DNA testing or will the fight escalate?

Who is going to be responsible if something happens to Dannylynn? Howard apparently has the yacht hope he doesn't get scared and take that baby away. He is going to be homeless soon. That house is not HIS, nor was it Annas. He is a squatter as well as a bum and she was his only client. Yea, Great Lawyer.
I came across a Bahamian Community Message Board and these are some of the things they are saying in their own country about all of this. The very 1st on is where someone is pulling up an old message that they wrote in October where they are predicting that Anna will "accidentally" overdose on drugs. That kind of sent chills through me.

I hate to quote myself but here I go:
From a thread on this very message board:

I'm not surprised Stern is claiming paternity of her baby. Think about it, that child stands to inherit a lot of money, especially now that she's an only child. As the father Stern will undoubtedly have some control over the child's money. I'd watch Anna closely in the next few years. After her lawsuit is over and done and she gets her $600 million, as she absolutely will, she may be 'accidentally" overdosing on something herself. Oops, I'm sure Stern will be so 'devastated' but luckily he'll have his daughter and a LOT of money to keep him going.
Funny, how Stern's name hasn't been coming up in the news at all. Where is he? Isn't he a grieving "committed friend"? Isn't he the father of the baby or one of the numerous contenders anyway? Why hasn't he been mentioned at all?
They were supposed to get officially married on February 23rd. Stern is probably cursing Anna's grave for dying too soon before he could get set for life.
If Stern is supposedly the father why doesn't he take the child until paternity can be proven, I mean it's HIS name on the birth certificate, doesn't that give him the right to take the child? Not that I think he should have her but legal is legal, right? Well, I guess not.
And blow me away... Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband is in the daddy competition. Is this a joke or what?!? At this point I wouldn't be surprised if my brother told me he was the father. At least we know it isn't Shane Gibson, but probably not for lack of trying... hahaha.

Remember what the woman who was in the next room said she heard? She heard Anna Nicole yell "You caused this". I'd be pretty sure she wasn't saying it like she meant he knocked her up... I don't know, something is amiss...

I just heard on the news that Anna Nicole was addicted to methadone and was in rehab earlier this year. Methadone was one of the three drugs that was in Daniel's system.
I don't like 'HKS' either Lily, I just am not so sure he maliciously caused the death of ANS's son. He may well have caused the death but I doubt it is a murder case. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think there's a good chance the child is Larry Birkhead's. Poor kid, though, they are reporting that the child may be addicted to methadone. Don't know if that's valid or not.

I agree with you Wide eye, except for that certain aspects of this highlight some serious problems in our government. Such as how Ms. Smith got her permanent residency so quickly when other more valid applicants applied much earlier and are still waiting.
Also, it highlights some level of government cover-up, I think, why else was the Coroner's Court disbanded suddenly after 13 years. And why would a toxicology report take so many weeks. And why was the death ruled suspicious and then suddenly the inquest was cancelled.
I am not concerned about this case from the standpoint of her celebrity-ism, but I am a bit concerned about our government's ethics and actions in this case.

This broad has nothing but trouble. She fighting with one boyfriend over her house, fighting with a next boyfriend over her baby and she still fighting to get the money from her dead husband, meanwhile she gone married her hagfag attorney.

According to IN TOUCH Mag.....the role of her lawyer, (in the death of Daniel), is being questioned. "Howard gave us a much different account of what happened when Daniel died than the story he gave on Larry King" says a Bahamian official.
Also on the Nancy Grace show tonight:
I was shocked to hear that METHADONE is ILLEGAL in the Bahamas. (Even with a prescription.... it's still illegal to have METHADONE in the country of the Bahamas)
Rinbea ON comment 3414 will you post that over at "inside ANNA funeral".........The great people over on "INSIDE ANNA FUNERAL" needs to read #3414......THank you......
THANK YOU #3414 FOR POSTING IT OVER AT 'INSIDE ANNA FUNERAL'
I hope Howard is the father of dannielynn. Anna wanted him to be or why would she put him on the birth certiicate? Yes there is a suspion of umbrella aroung Howard. Larry, Virgie?Daniel? The whole sad sad story of AnnaNicole. I do believe she is were she wanted to be buryied.It was beatuiful funeral with so respect the lady deserved.All except her mother appealing it and holning her up 45 minutes just for press and for no reason.And for the no respect she showed shovels angry dirt on her grave and walking on top of it. Pitfuil! so sad. I hope that if howard isnt the dad larry is and will allow howard to still see her being he is the father in this childs life for now! I pray that AnnaNicole will rest in peace and Dannielynn will know everything great about her mother that Howard will hopefullly be allowed to tell her as she grows up
IF YOU ARE OVER HERE POSTING YOUR COMMENTS AND YOU WERE POSTING COMMENTS OVER AT"INSIDE ANNA FUNERAL" FROM THE BEGINNING.......COME BACK-----------GETTING CLOSE TO THE 10,000TH POST..........THANK YOU..............
Does anyone besides me remember that when Larry Birkhead testified in florida that one of his comments was that Daniel didn't want to go to the Bahamas?? Wonder if the reasons for trip to the PI are the same reasons he didn't want to go??
Louise, I would worry about your journey to the face of God. If you are a christian you should know better and if you are not, well life has away of biting you in the ass.
So many people on this site have been screaming save Danielynn, or its about the
baby. "Let it be in the best interests of the baby". Heres the
deal. At six months old, and the loss of her mother, the best
interests of the baby are served in this case the way they are now.
We really have no idea of who the father is.
The father right now is Howard, and in the best interests of Danielynn he should remain that. So what if LB and HKS are tested and they are not the baby's father.
You have opened a new can of worms. NONE of that is in the best
interest of Danielynn. I wish Howard and LB would get together,
share and raise her together. That would be in her best interest.
Leave the courts out of it. I am not seeing that happen though.
For those of you who fear for her, well she is being supervised by a
child welfare division and is cared for by a nanny she is also bonded
with.
Whatever facts about Howard (whom I totally support) will come to
light or not, and life will go on. Anna and the dysfunctions are
gone. I am sure poor Howard is learning at a hyperspace speed, about
addiction and enabling. Tons of couples do it everyday, it just
doesn't mean their life or sanity. When husbands or wives keep their
spouse fat because they like them that way, or are afraid of them
leaving if they are better looking, that is enabling. It never starts
out big, it is always gradual and pretty soon it becomes habit.
Looking the other way while your husband cheats is enabling. In this
case it became life threatening, I am sure it did not start like
that.
We all have relatives and friends with skeletons in their
closets, and even some of us have them. So before you sentence Howard
to death, and send Danielynn off somewhere, think.....Leave it to
Beaver really never existed. We are a complicated species. As an
adult in our country you only ever get 50% of the responsibility in a
relationship. Each person is responsible for their own. We also drawn
in what we are comfortable with. Eagles fly with other eagles.
I am truly amazed at some of the things I have read here! Some of you think that "poor Howard" should get with Larry and raise Dannielynn together even after you have seen the video Howard shot of Anna in the clown makeup, f'd up to the gills while pregnant talking about what the footage is worth. How stupid can some people actually be? Seriously, would you want someone like Howard to raise your child? If you say yes then you don't deserve to have kids yourself.
Some of you honestly feel sorry for Howard. Is this a Mushroom trip? I think you've lost your mind! I feel sorry for you because you're so blind to the actual facts. They've been laid our for you time and time again yet you still are living in denial. Tell me, do you also feel sorry for John Couey? I know it's not the same situation but if this baby continues to live with Howard around all of those freaks it could possibly turn out that way. I am so sure of myself that I would be willing to bet money on it. Howard is an irresponsible man who's incapable of raising a child, he can't even take care of himself.
I read somewhere were Dannielynn has bonded with the nanny. Don't even try that crap!!! Now you're going to say that's reason enough for Howard to keep Dannielynn, because of bonding. The only reason he has had her this long is because he refused the DNA. If Howard had gone for those tests back when Larry wanted to she would have been home with her real father and there would have been bonding there. That's the way it should be.
I don't think Howard should be allowed to see her at all! Especially after what he did to her mother. If he didn't kill her then he by all means helped her die. He knows it, too.
I'm just totally shocked at some of the things some of you write here. I just can't for the life of me believe there are actually people who still believe Howard deserves to keep this child. You all better go back, read all the facts, look deep into your heart and then come back. If you still feel the same way then you need to check yourself into rehab or something, I don't know. It's really sad.
He killed ANS in Florida and he will be convicted in that state, do they still use old sparky.
Paula, what a narrow minded idiot. John Couey is not Howard Stern, he was a convicted pedophile murder, so that is what the rumor mill has reduced your brain to.
Don't ever insult my child rearing ability. You know nothing about me, but my son helps at a karate studio, while working on a black belt. He has a 3.9 grade average, takes care of his numerous pets, and lives in a household where there we are there are no drugs (not even prescription, I am naturalpathic), alcohol or cigarettes. He is an amazing boy. That is why I know what the possibilities are. He is 9 years old. He is cherished.
Obviously you are narrow minded, and not too bright taking every piece of gossip, innuendo, and unproven information as fact. The truth is I don't know Howard, and neither do you. However, Anna put him as the father on the birth certificate. So she believed in him. For all you know he could be the birth father, and then what would your argument be?
When Larry finally gets Dannielynn this is what he'll have to do:
Report Birth Abroad
Us Embassy/ Nassau
American Citizen Services
Consular Section
3370 Nassau Place
Washington, DC 205-3370
Most U.S. citizens acquire their citizenship by being born within the United States. Children born outside the United States to one or two U.S. citizen parents can also acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain conditions are met.
Birth Abroad to Two U.S. Citizen Parents in Wedlock
A child born abroad to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth as long as one of the parents has resided in the U.S. prior to the child's birth. No specific period of time for such prior residence is required.
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. The current requirement for a U.S. parent to transmit citizenship is five years of physical presence in the U.S., two of which were after the age of fourteen.
For other parent/citizen situations, please contact the ACS unit.
If you believe your child born abroad satisfies the criteria for becoming an American citizen, contact the American Citizen Services unit to have a "Report of Birth Abroad of a U.S. Citizen" prepared. This document acts as a U.S. birth certificate and is proof of citizenship for all purposes. A Consular Report of Birth can be prepared only at an American consular office overseas while the child is under the age of 18. Usually, in order to establish the child s citizenship under the appropriate provisions of U.S. law, the following documents must be submitted:
* an official record of the child's foreign birth;
* evidence of the parent(s)' U.S. citizenship (e.g., a certified birth certificate, current U.S. passport, or Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship);
* evidence of the parents' marriage, if applicable; and
* affidavits of parent(s)' residence and physical presence in the United States.
In certain cases, it may be necessary to submit additional documents, including affidavits of paternity and support, divorce decrees from prior marriages, or medical reports of blood compatibility. All evidentiary documents should be certified as true copies of the originals by the registrar of the office wherein each document was issued. A service fee will apply for the issuance of a Consular Report of Birth.
I hope Larry's Attorney's know about this but I'm sure they do.
Oh, What the heck do you know?
You apparently didn't read the whole comment. Duh!!!
Gee thanks Paula, you are soooo smart, what if its not Larry Child? Do you think that really the attorneys for Larry might know about this information? They only went to school for at least 7 years not to mention been in practice for years after. So what if Howard is the father, or the pretend prince, or Thompson, or an LA bartender? All this information will really help out Danielynn, the girl supposedly you are trying help. I think she just wants to be held and fed, and changed at this point. Thanks for the help.
