Anna Nicole Smith's Mother Slams Custody Reports

Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthur has slammed reports she wants custody of her granddaughter - she just wants the baby to be raised by her real father.
Arthur, who flew to her daughter's home in The Bahamas on Friday (09Feb07) to check on the welfare of five-month-old Dannielynn, has hit back at Smith's companion Howard K. Stern for denying her access to the baby.
And the former police woman insists the baby's real father is photographer Larry Birkhead.
She tells US breakfast show Good Morning America, "(Stern) won't talk to me. I saw him on Tv and he said, 'You'll never see her (Dannielynn) as long as I'm alive.'
"I think Larry Birkhead is the father. I don't have a problem with (Dannielynn) being with Larry Birkhead, I do have a problem with her being with Howard Stern."

Good stuff.
What bothers me is that the US and Bahamian authorities seem to accept Stern's "rights" as ANS' heir/atty/spokesperson, i.e. the Medical Examiner -
Perper said he spoke with Stern and a friend of Smith's by telephone Monday morning. They provided information about her medical history, and Stern said he would meet with the medical examiner in person, Perper said.
