Anna Nicole Smith's baby to undergo paternity test

A Bahamain judge has ordered a DNA test for Anna Nicole Smith's six-month old baby, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, say news reports, to determine the identity of her father.
Since Anna Nicole Smith's death in a Florida hotel in early February, a custody battle is being played out between freelance photographer Larry Birkhead, an ex-boyfriend of Nicole Smith, and Howard Stern, the last companion of Smith. Meanwhile, Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, also wants custody for she feels she can give little Dannielynn a more stable home.

The child is currently living with Howard Stern, who has been asked by the courts not to leave the country until the custody issues are sorted out.

One reason for fathers crawling out of the woodwork could be the fact that Anna Nicole Smith's baby may inherit millions from Smith's late husband billionaire J. Howard Marshall II. Anna Nicole Smith has been in a legal tangle with Marshall's family over his fortune.
