Celebrity Justice
Howard K. Stern Doesn't Lack Appeal

Howard K. SternHoward K. Stern has filed an appeal in his ongoing paternity battle over Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn, this according to "Entertainment Tonight."

TMZ is told that the appeal will absolutely delay the reveal of DNA results, but for how long is unknown. The next hearing is April 3.

Last week, Stern followed court orders and drove Dannielynn to a lab for a DNA swab. Larry Birkhead also gave a sample.

And the saga continues.

16. Howard has alot of class...too bad it's all low. There is some serious jockeying going on. I wanna see the lawyers get on TV again and bash the world for bashing Howard. Howard's dug Anna's grave and Daniel's grave. It's time he digs his own.

Good riddance, you low life.

17. Why should I be surprised at this???!!!! Howie has shown me now, for sure... that he has not one decent bone in his body. I can only hope that the appeal is denied, once and for all.

Howard knows that practically the entire world does not believe for one second that he is that baby's father... What is his game by continuing on this charade? It's not love for that baby... I don't think a sociopath can actually truly love ANYone.

It's constant delays where Howard and his cast of stellar characters called his attorneys are concerned... and of course we know there is a method to that madness... but it's getting old... and it's just so obvious now... after all these weeks, not one of his attorneys can SAY yes, Howard is the BIOLOGICAL father of this child... they stop short of that every time. Recently, Ron Rale was asked some questions by one of the anchors and he claimed that Howard was willing to cooperate with whatever the court orders him to do... if a court orders the DNA he will cooperate... so is this appeal some sort of cooperation??

This man is one Class "A" loser... albeit one that will become very wealthy... well, wealthier than he is right now... Right now he only has the $3 million from Entertainment Tonight (ET) for a contract for all the rights and video of Anna's funeral, right down to video of her casket being lowered into the ground. He must be really pleased with, and proud of, himself... *sigh* When will lady justice be served?

18. Daddy Stern,
What do you mean when you say "These things always come in threes"?

19. This proves once and for all that HKS knows he's not the father, otherwise he'd be just as curious to find out the truth. If I were the judge I'd say okay, I'll grant the appeal but you lose custody until the matter is resolved. Bet he'd change his mind in a hurry.

20.
Let him appeal. The judge in the Bahamas is going to deny it. Larry Birkhead will prove to be the father, and custody will go to Larry.

21. Delaying the truth will only make him the target for more hate and ridicule.

23. it makes me physically ill how this weasel is able to keep everything in a turmoil. larry must be going through hell having his life kept in limbo; how can anyone have trust in a system that would allow this; this "appeal" (based on what pray tell) should be acted on with due speed. i don't hate too often, but howard and his team of slimey lawyers have succeeded in making me hate them and i really do hate them and the system that allows this kind of slime to manipulate it.. the best interest of dannielynn is to be with her biological father unless he were to be proven unfit and Coward as a parent or guardian is unfit either way. i pray that there is at least one judge on that island that has enough balls to bring a quick end to this fiasco.

24. Coward Stern and his lawyers have NO credibility now....not that anyone believed when they said "take it to the Bahama's and we will comply" crap.

25. Court can deny his appeal. Of course, then he'll try to appeal again at another court level. However, eventually he has to run out of "wiggle room". Maybe, just maybe, he thinks he is honoring ANS memory by doing what he thought she wanted him to do? Maybe time to move custody to grandma (only proven legal/blood tie)?

26. QUOTE: 4. The lawyers did say that Howard would comply and go by the court's decision in the Bahamas.....well, guess again. How many times has Howard changed his tune??? He is one bad apple.

27. Is it possible that he has spent the last 6 months with this child and has become very attached? Whether it be right or wrong, he might be delaying this because he is looking at saying goodbye to this little girl and is doing all he can to keep her as long as possible. I am not saying it's right, I am just trying to give another opinion here. There seems to be so much negativity and if you watched the Anna Nicole show (yes I am ashamed, I did), you would see that HKS was NOT the one in control of that relationship.

30. I agree he is a liar and a piece of crap and in my etes a murderer, I feel very sorry for the baby and someone needs to step in and end this madness.before something happens to DannieLynn.I think America should boycott the Bahamas,It seems like they dont care about the real fathers and the protect Kidnappers.and thats all Stern is A KIDNAPPER.
