Nearly a month has passed since the burial of model and actress Anna Nicole Smith, and though she’s been laid to rest, the fighting and bitterness continue! Around water coolers across America, people have been talking about the alleged secret meeting between Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead – two of the men claiming to have fathered her daughter, Dannielynn. Exactly who is Dannielynn’s biological dad, and who will get custody of the baby? Then, Entertainment Tonight weekend host and correspondent, Kevin Frazier, reveals how his interview with Anna not only made him feel uncomfortable, but also caused an uproar after it aired! Plus, Howard K. Stern’s sister, Bonnie, joins Dr. Phil to set the record straight about Howard and Anna’s relationship. Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

Eye Color

Quote From: lilly2000

all facial features of the baby look like Larry's

My first impression was that the baby looked a great deal like Larry as well.  However, since I was watching the show via Tivo, I went back and studied the two sets of pictures.  On my second viewing, I thought the baby looked a good deal like Howard.  So, I was curious about the eye color of both men.  Anna had brown eyes.  DanieLyn has blue eyes.  Though it is possible for two brown-eyed people to produce a blue-eyed child, genetically it is far more likely that two blue-eyed parents or one blue-eyed/one brown-eyed parent will produce a blue-eyed child.  When I looked at the pictures of both men on the show it looked like Larry had brown eyes and Howard had blue eyes.  Since I wasn't certain, I did a bit of internet research and learned that indeed Larry is brown-eyed and Howard is blue-eyed.

 

Oh, the sluething can be fun.  It will be interesting to see what Larry's DNA testing shows.

What?!?!?!?!

Quote From: janelleas

I was under the impression that the birth certificate is always done the morning before you leave the hospital with the baby?!  That's the way it was done in the cases I was present at (my grandchild and one of my own).  At that time you should be clear headed enough to know what you are signing. 

 

I also agree that the biological father should be allowed access to his own child, but not neccessarily have custody.  Perhaps Larry would make a great father, but we don't know that.  We do know that Howard has custody of the baby now and that Anna herself must have wanted him to have custody because she named him father on that birth certificate.  The fact that she was fighting with Larry over the baby clearly indicates that she did not want him to have custody.  I think we should respect the baby's mother's wishes. We cannot use the media as our source of unbiased information.  I think the solution is for Howard to have custody of the baby and for Larry (if he is the biological father) to have a very acceptable visitation with holidays shared.  Just as if there were a divorce, they can work it out between them.  We all know that being the biological parent is not the best way of determining who the best parent would be.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the courts, after DNA is evaluated.

You don't know anything about Howard being a good father either.  Hell, the babysitters are doing all the work!  SO that insane statement that you made about Larry is very unfair.  Who cares what you think?  Howard should NOT have the baby since he is obviously covering up something and possibly LYING!

 

And the Media must be playing an important part, because that is where you obtained your info.....duhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna Nicole

So much has happened and this is just one big sad event in a prescious baby's life. I have not read all of the messages, so I hope I'm not repeating what has already been said or written. Right from the start we have all seen how she adored her son. In all the pictures, they are hugging, kissing and seem to be very close. After the birth of her baby girl, he passed away suddenly. Anna Nicole was devastated. She said she would never get over his death among other comments that should have been a big red flag to those around her. She strongly stated that she didn't want paternity tests done. I don't mean to be cruel but the thought in the back of my mind is why was she so defensive about the paternity test. Is it possible that her son is the father of her baby? Just wondering if anyone has discussed it.

Anna Nicole's baby Danni

I agree with Dr. Phil, get the DNA and get it over with.  Looks like you would want to know.

03/22 Anna’s Aftermath

Quote From: lilly2000

This is very sad as the biological father should have the opportunity to raise the child.  The baby looks like Larry as a child.  Howard may love the baby but why didn't he stop her mother from hurting herself.  The baby needs her dad.   If Howard keeps the baby and if she is not his, when she grows up and is old enough to get her own test done and finds out that he KEPT her from her real dad, she may hate him for it.  Even adopted kids grow up and are curious about their biological family.  This would be worse for Howard Stern as the girl will hear of all this when she is older and very well could hate him for keeping her from her dad because Larry wants to raise her not give her away.  I don't believe Larry cares whatsoever about any money.  He just wants his sweet child in his arms to love and be a daddy to and to let her know her grandparents etc.    He seems like a very kind man that seems to be very against drugs etc.  She needs to be raised by someone that can say "NO"  when it is for the child's own safety and welfare to say so.

Stern's parents and sister only met the baby after Anna's death. That was from the mouth of his sister. And they call themselves knowledgeable and caring of the situation and that everything Howard says is true -- yea -- true crap.

 

I said in an earlier post -- what goes around comes around to bite you which is what you have said when an adopted child gets older and wants the truth. This baby has it all on tape to see. There will not have to be much digging to find the truth!!!

What do we want grammer or good taste or when will they evah learn .

Or what the world needs now , love sweet love...Where have all the flowers gone was another  crusade song, yet  most harkened not to the piper. So were many songs  stories ancient and too boring for the so called baby boomers and x generation etc. Who can be called baby boomers? We allow abortion to get out of hand, so how can we send our babies to war, we soon will fall at our own hands, like Annie Smith, sexual addicted, abandonment issues, like a 57 chevy all rusted out, with lupus and other aids inflicted cancers and such addictions to drugs that cause a gal to die from aspiration of the lungs, esp with demerol, when the lung tissue is so damaged by cocaine and smoking an addict loses lots of immune sysytem responses , its a proven fact. Aids victims die from PNeumonia, CAncer, Liver and Lung CAncer, Lupus, and other common diseases , not aids itself. Also known facts.

Instead of allowing our species to be completly wiped off the planet for good, lets shed the skin of being baby bombers oops boomers who abort innocent babies, we have enough of the natural disasters to kill us all eventually, why continue on a path of totally inhumane unGodly atrocities, ENOUGH ! Raise ya'll hands if any of you are at a loss for words to describe the anger you feel at how the death, birth and now paternity history of this child is going on. She is a dual citizen REMEMBER? Do not even let me get ahold of this child's real father. He will turn out to be not the lawyer Howie or the purported playboy Larry because Annie played the field and now leaves a poor baby whose own Grandmother is being shafted of her custodial rights to even visit her? How odd, I thought the best interest of this child plays out to be : Shelter, food, care properly given, medical attention by real doctors,emotional growing room, mental growing room, How about spiritual guidance? What if she has aids? What if she is brain damaged? WHat if there is no money for 25 yeaars? O ya'll make me sick to my stomach with your speculating, all the KIngs horses and all the Kings men won't right the betrayal this baby has already experienced in utero! leave those crazy fools who call themselves celebreties to their own lives to live, How can anyone support a more unworthy cause than even to think Hollywoods schemers are the moral dictators they perpetrate to be, they are driven by a madness we humble everyday ordinary housewives, displaced homemakers, husbands and kids of those above aforementiontioned claim to be will never have to go thru, if we play our cards right . Stop the madness and save the child, spare the rod she already has been dealt with a dead mother, two or more men to be fathers, men who probably are worse than 3 men and a little Lady, diapers, lets use baggies, God knows there is plenty of them allthe stinking drugs in that arena, etc, oh baby formula, lets give her goats milk, like the rich little poor kids get in 3rd world could barely afford, THIS IS WHY THE WORLD NEEDS REAL MOTHERS< OR NUNS PRACTICED IN THE ART OF CHILDREARING OR NANNIES TO THE RESCUE AND DR PHILS> KUDOS MR PHIL MCGRAW ONE DOCTOR OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD ONE SHOW AT A TIME< LETS DO IT ALL!

Dr Phil and Robin as her adopted parents! Next case...

Quote From: courtney212

The one who needs to wake up is you! You don't chose the father of your baby after conception but before! If Anna didn't want Larry involved she shouldn't have had sex with him period! It is unfair to keep a man or woman away from there children, no matter who you are. If Larry finds out he is the father, he should file kidnapping charges! This is not about Anna and what she wanted, it is about a little girl who needs her family!
I had to relinquish my own sons, my own flesh and blood in 1984 to a worse monster than what everyone thinks Larry and Howard are. My stupidity was in naming their father who was married to me on thier original BC. Now, I find EVERYONE thinks just because a lawyer is named on a BC, for six months the child lives motherless in the Bahamas... a dual citizen as well  with a dead mother, agreedy wolf pack at her door to make her homeless, a seedy lifesyle looming ahead of her if a judge allows anyone who so far has "claimed to be in her best interests" to be her lifelong custodial whatever...Guardian, father, father, caregiver, on at litem, I wonder who sees ahead to this child's welfare if she has aids, brain damage, emotional damage, mral dillemmas, mental illness, etc, all afflictions of children of substance abusers,or if the money mysteriously has evaporated and this whole ploy was to keep the masses of feeble minded American brainwashed zombies etertained while our freedom in bombarded. Good God Ya'll we have been at war since before we all were born, this one child's life is just one of many who are yet to be boern with more problems than we ever imagined if every parent, doctor , teacher, lawyer, indian chief, firefighter, police official, pschye tech, nurse, fails to be supported in a true catastrphe, and all this is what is legally called invasion of privacy the media has directed at the child of a Hollywood persona, I will step forward and defend the child for free as a lawyer or advocate if in the future she does survive all of this and wants an advocate, a reasonable way to resolve issues looming ahead of her as she will face at 18 and 21. As an adult, will she shun the media, follow in her mother's footsteps, or be reduced to search and rescue her real father all alone. So far it seems like she never knew either parent very well, 6 months is not even legitimate time for a man and woman to get married after they meet. Ask Dr Phil and also, lets not forget: in Solomons day he was willing to give up the child to the blade of the edge of the sword, ubtil the real mother spoke her piece. Lets give a reasonable judge time to find a family perfectly fit to raise the child, with no access to her money at all, and at 21 she gets to keep anything that is rightfully hers and go her way to become an educated beautiful daughter of a Marylin Monroe lookalike, Hopefully break family patterns already concocted by all the hoopla, and be done with this perverse of justice once and for all. Then lets see which "real" daddy speaks up and says yay or nay. AHA the solution simple. DR PHIL ARE YOU AND ROBIN READY FOR A BUNDLE OF JOY TO BE DELIVERED VIA AREAL LIVE STORK CALLED CPS TO YOUR CASA? I HOPE AND PRAY YOU GET TO BE NAMED PARENTS! THAT'LL TEACH EVERYONE THAT YOU MEAN BUSINESS!!

03/22 Anna’s Aftermath

Quote From: thenewyear

I really wonder if Stern's sister thinks the majority of people listening to her really believe the things she said about Stern!!!!!!!!! She danced around the questions. She is only holding up for Stern because she is related to the snake. He will probably never be implicated in the death in Daniel or Anna because he knows the laws and he knows how to manipulate the law. That is why Anna and Stern ran to Bahamas. Bahamas laws are not fair to the ones who are seeking the real truth. I have been listening to alot about this story and I truly believe Stern was an enabler and a gold digger. Stern may have been infatuated with Anna and loved her in some sort of way, but he is also a GOLD DIGGER. I also truly believe Larry is the father. Stern doesn't want that DNA test to be public, cause he knows he is NOT the father. When his sister kept saying "SETTLED" about the DNA test, she probably meant Stern wanted to make a deal to "SELL" the baby to Larry for future money to Anna.

 

I am not very happy with Dr. Phil either. It seems he has people on the show to make Stern look good. Dr. Phil always wants the truth told. There is nothing about Stern that is the truth. Why didn't he ask the sister about the private eye that Daniel contacted a few days before his death? The private eye said Daniel told him he was AFRAID of Stern and was AFRAID for his mother, Anna. The private eye's card was found on Daniel's body, so it is NOT something the private eye dreamed up. Why doesn't Dr. Phil try to help Larry, the one who needs the help and does NOT appear to be a SNAKE like Stern. Larry has been fighting for his baby ever since he knew Anna was pregnant. Larry did NOT just come out of the woodwork. I feel so sorry for Larry. Every man should put theirself in Larry's place at this point. Having his baby kept out of his life for the past six months.

 

I didn't watch all of Stern's sisters interview cause I heard enough of her crap at the beginning of the interview trying to make her snake brother to sound like the VICTIM, and I couldn't stand it any longer. I truly hope that in the end the REAL TRUTH about everything comes out, but I don't have much faith in that happening.

Amen to all that!!  I wonder what she is getting paid to go on all these shows and defend her "gold digging" brother!
