Howard K. Stern, will he crash and burn?
Things aren't looking to good for Howard K. Stern in the battle for custody of Dannielynn. After much controversy over a video surfaced with Stern behind the camera taping an obviously drugged up Anna Nicole Smith with her face painted like a clown. Oh yeh, and she was 8 months pregnant.
Now, Stern's own "team" is starting to crumble. His sister says that Smith told her she didn't know who the baby's father was.
"When I spoke to (Smith) in March, when she found out she was pregnant, I took her shopping, and she told me the baby was due in mid-October, and that one other person could have been the father and that was Larry Birkhead, but nobody else," Bonnie Stern said.
In addition, Stern can't remove Dannielynn from the country due to an injunction at the hands of Anna Nicole's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur. Arthur has been vocal against Stern claiming her killed her daughter and grandson by leading them to drugs.
Larry Birkhead has also filed a lawsuit in the Bahamas saying that Dannielynn's birth certificate that lists Howard K. Stern as her father is a fraud.
Even worse for Stern, Arthur and Birkhead have practically teamed up together. Birkhead served as her witness in the custody battle over Smith's remains, and Arthur has thrown her support behind Birkhead for custody of Dannielynn saying she wants "...Larry to have custody of the child."
It looks like Howard's fun days of mushroom trips and methadone popping have ended. Now what will happen with Dannielynn? Can Stern possibly retain custody?
Only time will tell.

Let the custody battle for Dannielynn begin
Monday will kick off a battle in the Bahama's between friends and relatives of the late Playboy model, Anna Nicole Smith. Smith, of course, leaves behind a 5-month old daughter named Dannielynn who could stand to inherit a billion dollars.
Fighting for custody are Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, estranged mother Virgie Arthur and the man who is listed on Dannielynn's birth certificate as her father - Howard K. Stern.
Larry Birkhead is the most likely father of the child, but he may struggle to get custody. He first must get a judge in the Bahamas to order Dannielynn for a paternity test, then he will be required to obtain custody as well.
Virgie Arthur is the baby's closest to kin. Her best chance at getting custody seems to be if none of the men who have come forward match DNA with the baby. Meanwhile, she has already started a war against Howard K. Stern in hopes of taking Dannielynn back to Texas.
Being listed as Dannielynn's father on her birth certificate may give Howard K. Stern an edge on the pack. If a judge refuses to require a paternity test, then Stern simply has to maintain custody. His best chance at loosing is if the other two can prove that he was supplying Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith with the drugs that likely killed them.
The paternity hearing is expected to come to heads this week, as the court appointed attorney hopes to finalize arrangements to lay Smith to rest by Tuesday.

Cute Bonnie, but nobody thinks you are credible. And, by the way, why do you, Bonnie, need a publicist?
