Now @ The 11th Hour: Anna Nicole Desperate To Block DNA Test

Anna Nicole Running Scared Over Baby

\

As tomorrow's deadline looms for the DNA test to establish the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, TMZ has learned Smith's lawyers are furiously working to halt the test.

Sources tell TMZ that Smith's lawyers are now arguing that the order requiring the test was never brought before a Bahamian judge. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered the test, but Smith's lawyers now say it's not binding until a Bahamian judge gives it a stamp of approval.

Sources also tell TMZ that Anna Nicole's lawyers are trying to block the test on grounds that the United States DNA lab hired by Larry Birkhead, the man claiming to be the father of little Dannielynn, cannot legally administer the test because its technicians don't have work permits for the Bahamas.

Despite her public statements that she has nothing to hide, Ms. Smith is going to great lengths to block the DNA test.

Hmmm, could it be that, as unlikely as it might seem to us, Anna Nicole knows that the true babydaddy is actually neither of the top two contenders?

Yah I wonder who the spermdonor really is...

 

[BeBeStyle]

I think she got this post poned till next month, right?

Fathers have legal rights to their children, too.

What katheryn said. And in the event of a tragedy before the child attains majority, especially in light of the extremely large sum of money now winding its way through the legal system to Anna's bank account, those legal rights could include some provision for the individual who would become the child's legal guardian and caregiver, as well as a place in the will of the child herself, in the event of a second tragedy, not to mention the various other ways in which guardianship of the child might impact the bank balance of the guardian, now and in the future.

I dont understand why she just doesnt submit the baby to a DNA test if she "knows" that Howard Stern is the baby's dad...

maybe because...HE ISNT!! :true:

 

[Lisasbags]

Just DO it! Get the drama over and move on!

 

[John 5]

^^^^^ lol. I agree.

 

[lmpsola]

Ana is going to keep doing this! Imagine if none of the two is the father.lol.

She's afraid that if the paternity test shows that Howard is not the father and that guy that's claiming to be the baby's father is right (and his name escapes me right now) that he could possibly get custody of the baby?

TMZ obtained an AOL Instant Message exchange yesterday between Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead. Anna Nicole made it clear that she's not going to submit to a DNA paternity test without a fight.

The following is a precise transcript, complete with spelling and grammatical errors (but the user names have been changed):

Anna Nicole quit trash me at the casino
Larry not at a casino
Anna Nicole go f**k my mom to
Anna Nicole Yall are sick
Larry show up for the test with the baby\
Anna Nicole don't think so
Anna Nicole u wish
Larry everybody just want u to do right thing is all
Anna Nicole in your dreams

The deadline for the paternity test was today. We've learned Smith's lawyers were in Los Angeles County Superior Court this morning trying to block the test. The judge has not issued a definitive ruling on Smith's motion and so far the DNA test has not happened.
