Larry starts work on nursery
Thursday, March 15, 2007
Larry Birkhead is apparently building a nursery for DannielynnLarry Birkhead - one of the men who claims he's the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby girl - is apparently so confident about proving he's the infant's dad that he's preparing a nursery.
The photographer, speaking to reporters after the latest hearing in his ongoing paternity battle in Los Angeles, said he's started work on a room for six-month-old Dannielynn.
"I've been putting a nursery together, so I'm smiling. I'm in a good mood," he said.
Later that afternoon, Larry was apparently spotted shopping at an LA branch of Babies 'R' Us where, according to TMZ.com, he snapped up a wealth of pink clothes, white nursery furniture, an antique cot, a changing table, safety gates and toys.
During the private court hearing, a judge refused to grant Larry's request that Anna Nicole's partner Howard K Stern submit to a paternity test, although Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider agreed to review the request and scheduled a follow-up hearing for March 27.
Talking about the time he spent with Dannielynn in the Bahamas, where the courts have ordered that she must remain for now, Larry said: "It was one of the greatest things in my life. It was magic."
Howard's lawyer, James Neavitt, has warned that resolving the question of Dannielynn's biological father through the courts is likely to "take months".
Prince Frederic von Anhalt, husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, has also said he may be the father.
Anna Nicole Smith died in a Florida hotel in February.

TMZ.com, the 16-month-old venture that has grown into an online behemoth by chronicling the antics of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and other boldface names, is setting up shop in the nation's capital.
Harvey Levin, the former television reporter who started the operation, plans to launch the spinoff site in about a month. People familiar with the effort say that Levin plans to focus on the foibles of members of Congress, administration officials and media personalities.
TMZ spokeswoman Gillian Sheldon declined to discuss the details, saying only that ``big celebrities are everywhere--even outside of Hollywood.'' Levin has been meeting with people here in an effort to find a D.C. bureau chief and build a network of free-lancers who will contribute material for the new site, to be known as TMZDC.
