DNA won't end Anna Nicole battle
HOWARD K. Stern has said he'll fight to keep Anna Nicole's daughter - even if DNA tests show she's not his. Mr Stern's lawyer today said he was complying with court-ordered DNA testing, but the result may not stop a drawn out legal fight. Mr Stern's lawyer James Neavitt told the Associated Press: "Howard is the legal father. If Mr Birkhead's DNA matches, then he can come and say he's the biological father, and then you'll have that court battle."

However he did indicate the two men might try to negotiate a settlement if Mr Birkhead was in fact Dannielynn's dad. "Dannielynn's money fortune interests are the most important, and Howard's been protecting her from the start," he said.

Mr Stern is listed as Dannielynn's father on her Bahamian birth certificate. The little girl is heir apparent to Smith's estate, which could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if it wins a fight to inherit from Smith's late oil tycoon husband, J. Howard Marshall.
