Who’s your daddy Dannielynn?
Survey (actually DNA Tests) says:
Normally in a case like this, a high profile paternity case with Hollywierd ties, my next comment would be “who cares?”
But in this case, I think I do care, to a degree.
Anna was a trainwreck no doubt, but my personal instinct is that Howard K Stern, her lawyer and companion, was riding the switch on her crazy train.
I watch the videos of her interviews and such and it is painfully obvious she was usually stoned or doped or tranqed or on something. And Howard HAD to know, how could he miss it? One video shows him talking to her as she is completely horked, and him joking about it being a shroom trip. All the while she is incoherent, and trying to play with the baby.
What a great legacy he has given Dannielynn: Her mom is the poster child for the Betty Ford clinic, in glorious video as he crows about the money the video is worth.
She was surrounded by people who used her, and fed her chemical happiness. This is not an attempt to excuse her or anything, people make choices.
But I have to point out that in my personal opinion, Stern was totally enabling her and willing to do so till the cows come home..
Larry Birkhead is really the most normal person in the whole circus, and arguably the only hope that child has of leading a normal life. In that respect, it is nice to see the good guy win, and see that Dannielynn may be afforded the happy ending her mother wanted.
By some stroke of chance, the paternity test actually might give custody of the baby to a person who actually cares.
I hope when she is older and she tries to reconcile who she is and who her mom was, she apperciates how normal her dad seems to be.

I haven’t given Anna Nichole Smith’s case much thought.
Normally I don’t follow these celebrity cases, because I’m not much impressed by celebrity. Usually I find the incessant coverage of celebrities by the media to be annoying.
Your point about Howard Stern pretty much sums up my attitude about the cult of celebrity.
Having read this post, I’m inclined to agree with you though. Hopefully Mr. Birkhead is as normal as you describe him and their daughter will have a chance to grow up free from all of the baggage that comes with celebrity.
