Musing Minds

Baby = $$

Poor Dannielynn Hope Smith. This is a five-month-old baby. She deserves unconditional love, nurturing, and care. It seems as though everyone sees only dollar signs instead of a beautiful, helpless, baby girl.

I noted when Larry Birkhead first made his claim to Dannielynn on October 3^rd:

Two claim fatherhood for Anna Nicole’s baby girl. Of course they do. They want control (or some control) over the millions that Anna may receive from J. Howard Marshall II’s estate…

I heard Howard K. Stern’s attorney (in the Bahamas) say that Howard K. Stern has no intention of doing what Larry Birkhead wants, which is a paternity test of Dannielynn. The lawyer said that Anna Nicole had signed an affidavit stating that Howard K. Stern was the father.

Of course, an affidavit is not a DNA test. If Howard K. Stern is so certain he’s the father of this child then perhaps he would be jumping to have the test done so he could prove it.

Anna Nicole was larger than life and made herself that way. She wanted attention and did what she could to get it. Then it got too much for her, but she still needed it. Like an addiction. This, I believe, led to other addictive behavior which may have cost her her life.

They just played the 911 tape. I don’t know what the press thought they’d get out of it. The call wasn’t placed by a person close to Anna Nicole, the first part (which wasn’t played at the presser) was placed by hotel personnel to the police. The second part, which was played, was placed by the Seminole Police to the Emergency Services Department.

The ME in Broward County has asked that a court determine the legal next of kin for Anna Nicole so he can release the body as soon as possible.

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband is claiming paternity and so is a bodyguard who said that he had had a secret relationship with Anna Nicole for two years. Before this is all over I’m sure that more will come out of the woodwork.

A DNA test will not harm Dannielynn. She doesn’t even need to have blood drawn. A swab of the inside of her mouth can be taken for her DNA. There is no pain involved with this at all. I have had cheek swab test done myself and can guarantee it. Dannielynn might scratch the inside of her mouth with her little fingernails when she puts her fingers or fist in her mouth as five-month-old babies are wont to do and that hurts more than a cheek swab. Even the father candidates can do a cheek swab and there’s no need to give blood for them either.

Anna Nicole was larger than life in life and now, in death, it’s even bigger.

I pray for Anna Nicole, Danny, and most especially, little Dannielynn Hope Smith.
