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.

76. HKS may not lack Appeals
but his behaviour certainly is not appealing

77. I don't believe this child will have any chance of a normal life if she stays in Stern's custody, he'll be selling pictures to ET at every birthday, and any other event in her life. I just really hope the DNA results will be made public soon, so that custody can be sorted out and she can be given a chance at a normal life....not the circus HKS will make it.

78. H.K. Stern appealing? His clutching onto Dannielynn now seems ominous


Over the past 24 hours, I have been contacted by many people expressing insidiously-vicarious frustration about reports that Howard K. Stern has filed (or given notice of his intent to file) an appeal of Justice Stephen Isaacs' "order" to make Dannielynn available for samples of her DNA to be taken. And this reported appeal, notwithstanding the fact that he has already complied (as I predicted here he would).

But let me assure all of you that, if these reports are true, he would merely be hoping against hope that the Court of Appeal will squash the results of the paternity test. Meanwhile, with undisguised schadenfreude, I shall hereby disabuse Stern of his psychopathic hope by asserting, without fear of contradiction, that he stands a snowball's chance in hell of winning such an appeal. And that, if filed, it would be dismissed summarily!

But even if they are untrue, there is still probable cause to suspect that Stern's antic state of mind is endangering the welfare of this child; notwithstanding the devoted care of her Bahamian Mammies.

After all, his (unnatural) reluctance to establish his paternity - to legally, biologically and conclusively dismiss Larry Birkhead's claims - is prima facie suspicious. Then, of course, there's his alleged role in the uncanny circumstances surrounding the death of Anna Nicole and her son, Daniel.

Therefore, I urge His Lordship to give emergency instructions for our Department of Social Services to immediately place this child in protective care pending the outcome of this surreal paternity (and custody) case.

NOTE: For those who are anxiously awaiting the (anti-climactic) results of this paternity test, which should be known by this weekend, I regret to inform you that - according to reliable sources - the judge has ordered that they remain sealed until 3 April. Therefore, I encourage you to use this respite to reacquaint your brain with other news-worthy matters - like Angelina's new adoption or VoteforWorst.com's ironic effort to make American Idol even more of a national farce by sabotaging the votes - at least until 26 March, when the inquest into Daniel's death is scheduled to convene.

79. If there was actually a leak that Larry was not the father, do you believe that HKS would have proceeded with the appeal....I THINK NOT!

80. ******HKS is NOT a real man! Not even close.

HE is an enabler, a gopher, an ass-kisser, a parasite, a user, a self serving ass, and a psychopathic FREAK of nature.

Real Men do the right thing by society, have a job, support their families, face the consequences for their actions and lack of good judgment....and real Men NEVER deny a father the right to their only child!

*Shame on you and those who are supporting your actions regarding the paternity of Dannielynn.

81. #13... "Alice"

Alice, you give Howard way too much credit...! Doing what Anna wanted him to do??? Hardly.

13. 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)?

82. Stern is finished! He has shown his true colors. Liar, Liar. His college lawyer friends have misled the media saying he has not blocked the DNA.

86. Sad So Very Sad. In the end justice will be served. I still believe in the courrt systems. I pray for Virgie and her family. Stay strong Virgie and hang in there.

87. We knew Howard would appeal. Larry's attorneys said the other
day they'd be 'shocked' if he didn't.
So, can we assume they're prepared, and not feeling ambushed or fatalistic like Howard & Rale would hope? I'm beginning to wonder.

.People have to get out of the 'Howard is Winning' mindset.
I'm sensing a little of that from his opposing attorneys - all of them.
Not a good strategy!

88. da ra get off this board. You baby-snatcher lover. Where is LUCAS FROM IRAQ when you need him.

Posted at 1:31AM on Mar 29th 2007 by Stern is a BUM.

89. FREE DANNIELYNN or BOYCOTT THE BAHAMAS. Where is the justice for this little girl. A Child has the right to have her only living parent, and its not Howard Stern, his appeal proves it.

90. Since HKS hired a PR company to help him, I swear the only ones posting here saying HKS is innoncent are probably people working for his Public Relations company. It was said their job is to visit sites like this to try to tell people HKS is a Saint. Given this new thing...the appleal...just confirms in my mind that he is a low life who knows he isn't the baby's father and is trying everyting to keep her for her REAL father. When Larry gets custody, I hope he sues the pants off this lowlife!!
