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

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.

19. I just hope whomever ends up being Dannielynn's daddy (even thought i think it is Larry), they raise her to believe she was loved by many !!

20. Ya.. I think everyone might be suprised.. thats not just Bahama law tho.. even in the USA if u are on the Birth Cert.. then as long as someone else doesn't MATCH the babies DNA then U dont have to prove u are the dad. Larry may still not be the father - and yea it looks like he wants the baby, but we don't know if thats a good or bad intentioned thing.

If it turns out he is NOT her father.. will all the Larry supporters turn on him, cause in that case.. it will appear he just like SLIMY STERN just wanted a piece of the cake. Not the best interest of the baby.

21. 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.

22. 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).

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

25. I'm so happy for Larry. He just seems sincere. I just want to comment on this in regards to HKS...if people are so against everyone bashing him, and they want to go praise him...maybe they should take their comments over to the "Insider" (ha-ha) where there are HKS supporters.

27. WHHOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there Larry, you're that much closer to taking your baby girl home.

28. 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.

29. Just curious if anyone else besides me and the 20 or so people I have spoken to are fed up, sick and tired, and downright disgusted with the coverage of ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT regarding " Dannielynn's Story"? They had that worthless "personal phychiatrist" on last night................making noises about Daniel's state of mind. Is she to be believed about anything excpet making drug laundry lists????????????????
