Also, a note to all of you who have made the fair point that it is sometimes a problem to expand the thumbnails on this site. I apologize profusely for the inconvenience. I think I have isolated the problem and it should be solved by tonight. Again, a thousands sorries. We ::heart:: our readers.
After spending almost two hours in a Bahamian courtroom sans cameras, Larry Birkhead emerged victorious on Tuesday afternoon, as a doctor told the judge that the DNA tests revealed that he was the father of Anna Nicole’s baby, Dannielynn, with “99.9999% certainty.”
When asked about the paternity results, Howard K. Stern, who is currently listed on the birth certificate as Dannielynn’s father, stayed true to his word. “I am obviously very disappointed … I am not going to fight Larry Birkhead for custody. I will do everything I can to make sure he gets sole custody.” Stern and Birkhead hugged after leaving the courtroom, and Stern invited Birkhead to his house, where Dannielynn currently resides, to spend as much time with the baby as he wants.
The only reason Birkhead would not get custody at this point is Anna’s mother, Virgie Arthur, who had no role in this child’s life before Anna’s death, because Anna hated her. I don’t know much about family law, but I have no idea how this kid could possibly go to Arthur when there’s a healthy adult parent who wants her. Arthur’s custody case is expected to be heard on Friday in the same Bahamian court.
We’ll of course keep you posted as the story develops…

Congrats to Larry Birkhead who was just confirmed to be the father of Dannielynn Hope. The Bahamanian court just made their ruling and about 100 tourists and members of the media waited outside in the heat for the ruling.
Larry brought members of his family along with him to hear the good news. Bad news however is that Virgie Arthur is expected to now contest Larry for custody of Anna’s baby.
The drama continues and more updates as they come.
