 DNA results will finally be revealed on Tuesday to determine who the biological father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby Dannielynn is. There has been an ongoing battle over Smith’s daughter since the former Playboy Playmate was found dead in her Florida hotel room two months ago. The majority of people believe Larry Birkhead is the father of Dannielynn. Bodog.com has odds at 2/3 that Birkhead is the father Dannielynn. TMZ is reporting that Howard K. Stern will not stand in the way if the paternity test reveals Birkhead is the father. An unknown source made the following statement to TMZ.com: "If Larry Birkhead is confirmed to be Dannielynn's biological father, Howard will not challenge custody. His love for her will not change, irrespective of the results. Howard will act in Dannielynn's best interest, because he loves her and would want a smooth transition to protect her, as she is deeply bonded to those who have been with her since birth. While Howard continues to believe and hope that he is Dannielynn's biological father, he wants to be involved in her life, regardless of paternity. He wants to share the memories of her mother as the person who knew Anna best and all she wanted for Dannielynn. Howard was not part of the paternity lawsuit filed while Anna Nicole was alive. The first person to challenge Howard on custody was Virgie Arthur -- not Larry Birkhead. Howard is dedicated to Virgie Arthur not having custody of Dannielynn. He is well aware of how Anna Nicole felt about 'Mommy Dearest' and Anna's feelings were clear regarding Virgie Arthur being anywhere near Dannielynn. Speculation that this is somehow about money for Howard is misguided and wrong. Howard has never made a TV or book deal even though he is the one who knew Anna Nicole best. Howard wants Anna Nicole to be remembered as an icon like Marilyn Monroe, and he knows a lot of damage has been done to her image in the past two months. This restoration of Anna's image is important for Dannielynn and the views she will have of her mother as she grows up. He also wants to make sure that only Dannielynn profits from Anna Nicole's name, likeness and estate. As TMZ.com reported earlier, the money from Anna Nicole's funeral went to a trust set up for Dannielynn. Howard set up the trust but he does not, and will not, receive any money from it and is not the trustee." The results will be announced Tuesday morning in a Bahaman court. Both Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern will be present, along with Anna Nicole Smith’s mother Virgie Arthur. Bodog.com has posted odds on who will a court ordered paternity test reveal is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby Dannielynn? Larry Birkhead: 2/3 Howard K. Stern: 10/11 Other: 6/1                        |
