Celebrity Justice
Stern Shut Down In Huge Way Over DNA

Howard K. SternHoward K. Stern lost a big one in the Bahamas today.

Stern's appeal on DNA testing was just shut down, and Howard K. was penalized by the three-judge panel to the tune of $10,000. TMZ has learned Stern was ordered to pay $5,000 in attorney's fees to the Registrar General and $5,000 to Birkhead's lawyer -- not Debra Opri, the Bahamian one.

This could clear the way for the unsealing of the DNA test results -- that should happen in court this week.

Typically, these penalties (called "sanctions") are imposed when an appeal is frivolous.

2345. This is the land of FREE speech and one can say how they feel and what they think... And how things look to them. We are all allowed to have our own opinions . When someone fights against everything as simple as a DNA test or not answering simple questions things look suspisous . And Stern cannot turn it around and try to sue everyone that has had an opinion on how he has and is acting. Everything Stern has done and is doing is only digging his hole deeper in the eyes of those that are still waiting to see him do the right thing for Dannielynn.
I don't care who Stern hires to help restore his reputation because he never had a good reputation to begin with. Every since Stern has been reconized he has appeared to be what he appears to be today in the eyes of everyone that knows who he is. Or the largest part of who knows he is and that says a lot.
The one thing that I wonder about is if any courts will ever order DNA tests on Sterns and also drug tests on Stern and Dr. Kris...the so called friend of Anna's that wrote all those prescription drugs for her.
One would wonder if all of them were doing drugs and could be one reason why so many prescriptions written not just for Anna but for Stern and herself. If you ever looked at Stern's eyes they always look blood shot even when he was in court. At Anna's funeral in his speech to her he said that when he finished with his work he will be with her again. Some one should have the sense in the Bahama courts and in the U.S courts to have him tested for drugs and what kind and how long it has been since he has taken any even Dr. Kris....because even if by some miracle Dainelynn is his God forbid he is allowed to keep her and raise her. No child should or would be allowed to stay in an atmophere where drugs are misused even if the user or users are their natural parents. That child is removed from that home . Anyone in their right mind and not on drugs does NOT record someone they love and risk exposing their drug use. And say that it will be worth a lot of money knowing that means one day they plan on saleing it themselves.Except someone on drugs and not thinking clearly themselves. That is something else to think about. How can Stern ever get out from under that dark cloud he put himself under.I know...why not have an expert study the voice on that tape to show the voice on that tape saying...are you on a mushroom high and this tape will be worth a lot of money just to make sure Stern can't say it wasn't him filming Anna and saying those things. What a sick excuse for someone that claims he loved Anna . Your suppose to protect the ones you love, not use them and do anything to make money on them by exposing them like Stern has Anna. Those tapes show that was what he was doing by the things he said on tape to her. As for the mushroom statement he made to Anna...
Makes you wonder if he had been on mushroom highs himself. No one says thoughs thing unless they are personaly familier with these things themselves.
The only reason I say these things is because of Stern himself and his actions or lack of.

2346. Sterns sister made the statement that "Anna's mom will never touch Dannielynn...NEVER...OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES."
With what Stern said at Anna's funeral about "when his work is done here he will be with her again. "
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????? IS THIS WHOLE FAMILY CRAZY?!!?!?!?!
See why so many think the way they do about Stern !?!?!?
PLEASE GET DANNIELYNN AWAY FROM NOT ONLY STERNS BUT ALSO HIS FAMILY BEFORE SHE GETS HURT OR WORSE, DIES FROM GOD KNOWS WHAT !!!!!!!

2347. Hope Larry is daddy and gets custody, that can be doubtful the way the Bahamian law is. Hate to see Vergie get the baby.

Posted at 4:08PM on Apr 6th 2007 by Trumpet

2348. I worry about the baby too. The baby should have been taken away from Stern and put in protective custody. Stern is a gigolo, at best, living off Anna and now he wants to live off he baby. You have to worry about the baby's safety.

2349. Sperm does not a father make. I feel sad for this child.....I wonder who would fight over custody if she had not a dime and only a cute smile to give. That's the person who should have her. I don't care whose sperm helped make her.

2351. I think all the negative comments are unnecessary. We are on the outside looking in. We know nothing about these people personally. These are REAL people who have feelings. I don't believe he is guilty of doing anything wrong. Maybe strange but not wrong. I also don't believe Dannielynn is his. However, I do believe he is trying to fulfill a dream of Anna's. Anna stated very clearly in an ET interview that she didn't want her child anywhere near her mother. I'm sure Larry Birkhead won't do that. Also, how would Howard know her death would be this huge to plan this for money and be stupid enough to do it so soon after her son's. He could kill Dannielynn and still get the money because he is executor of her estate. He doesn't need the child to make money off Anna. Her death is only this popular because of how her son did. Had she died first, she would have just been a crawl across your TV screen. So many people are upset over the things he is doing, but it is really none of our business. This is these people's very personal lives being played out on TV like a soap opera. If we were going through this, we would want to be respected and left alone. Let's give them the same courtesy and tell the media to find something worth reporting like more of the antics of the White House. That's something that could affect us all.

2352. I've been reading this blog, and I wonder why people think Howard is responsible for Anna's addictions. Blame her doctor. She was a prescription drug addict meaning she basically could only get all these drugs from a licensed doctor. How can Virgie keep this child out of this circus? She doesn't have the money or the means. The media makes this a circus and will follow that child anywhere she goes for cheap shots. As far as the days leading to her death, they have stated that she was with her psychologist (not Howard) who was making all the phone calls to get her these drugs. She was a grown woman. She begged for the drugs in the hospital so no one was forcing her or tricking her into taking drugs. If Larry was so concerned about her drug use in the hospital, why didn't he mention it to a doctor or nurse. Just because he claims he asked her to stop does not mean no one else has said the same to her. As far as the baby being removed, what the hell has he done that can be proven that would justify the removal of this child from the only people she has known. Being placed in the custody of the state to be placed in a strange home can be horrible. A lot of those people can be worse. Just because you have suspicions of something is not a good reason to upset this child's life. Even if Larry is or isn't the father, I certainly don't believe Virgie should have her. If Daniel was on drugs, look how two people she raised turned out. Virgie says Daniel would never take drugs, but he had been out of her home for over 10 years. How many drug addicts would tell the truth when asked. Virgie is more money hungry than Howard. At least Howard was in Anna's life because she wanted him there. She didn't want her mother in it. What kind of mother would try to deny their own child being laid to rest next to her son and then try to block it they day of the funeral. Her intentions are not geniune.

2353. I'm amazed at how soooo many people who have NEVER even been in the presence of Howard or Anna Nicole present themselves as knowing sooooo much about Howard's personality and his relationship with Anna Nicole. NORMAL PEOPLE with LIVES OF YOUR OWN....... see how blessed you are! Thank GOD for not letting you have a heart like "Chris" "Coy Pal" "sarah t" or all the others who can HATE so easily and not see a thing wrong with what they are doing.
