Celebrity Justice
DNA is a D-O-N-E Deal

Posted Mar 21st 2007 2:57PM by TMZ Staff

Howard K. Stern and Larry BirkheadDNA samples of Dannielynn and Larry Birkhead are in the bag, according to MSNBC's Rita Cosby.

Cosby broke the story and TMZ has confirmed that Birkhead and baby were both at a Bahamas doctor's office at 9 this morning and had samples taken. Howard K. Stern's DNA was not taken because by law there is a presumption that he's the father since he's listed as such on the birth certificate.

We're told Birkhead saw Dannielynn in the doctor's office.

If Birkhead's DNA matches Dannielynn's, he can then challenge Stern to pony up DNA and fight for custody.

We're told the samples will be sent to a DNA lab in Columbus, Ohio and will be sent back to the Bahamas in four days.

10. Just one question, if the DNA test proves that Larry is DanniLynn's biological father, why would he have to fight Howard in court for Custody?

The will did not include instructions for care of any future children as I understand it, so why wouldn't she automatically be given to Larry? I don't understand why Howard would still have any ties with DanniLynn.

12. That baby is Larry Birkhead's! She is identical to him. Hopefully, there will be justice at last!

13. Finally!!! Will the DNA from the baby be matched with Anna's DNA as well? I know there was a concern that he could take another baby (such as his niece who is almost the same age as Dannielynn).

14. Remember the deal about ANS dna? Opri didn't trust Howard either, and got her DNA before the embalming. I just hope and pray that Larry is indeed the father cause if he isn't Vergie will stand a good chance of getting the baby over Howard.
