Larry Birkhead reveals that just three days before Dannielynn's birth, Anna sent him an e-mail saying, "Don't fall in love again, I'd be a bit jealous." Interestingly, Birkhead states that contrary to what people may think, Anna's alleged lover, Howard K. Stern, has been "a great help" with Dannielynn, but adds, "Howard did things for Anna that no one wanted to. I actually feel sorry for Howard."

As far as Anna's mother is concerned, Larry says Virgie's not his enemy. "If she wants to be a grandmother, she can be a grandmother, my mom wants to be a grandmother too, but I'm not going to sign a paper saying so, it's just not right." Read between the lines, please!

A custody hearing for Dannielynn is scheduled for Friday in the Bahamas. As for the photos, all proceeds from their sale will be put into a trust for Dannielynn.

Larry Birkhead is the father. He just announced to the world.The DNA results were unveiled inside and it's a DNA match for Birkhead and Dannielynn An emotional Larry Birkhead thanked the crowd after Dr. Michael Baird released the DNA results to the judge. The probability of paternity is 99.9999%. Baird said, "essentially he is the biological father."

Lawyers just announced the judge has made a ruling on who gets custody of Dannielynn, despite the fact that Larry Birkhead is the biological father.

Howard K. Stern just said "I am obviously very disappointed ... I am not going to fight Larry Birkhead for custody." Stern added, "I will do everything I can to make sure he gets sole custody."

Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead hugged each other outside the courtroom. Stern said Birkhead was welcome to come to the house and spend as much time with baby Dannielynn as he wanted. Stern said he'd like the transition to be "gradual," so the baby can adjust.

Larry Birkhead cannot take Dannielynn out of the Bahamas, until the custody issue is resolved. So, Stern has invited Larry to spend as much time as he wants at Horizons, where Stern is staying. Until Birkhead gets custody, he has no legal claim to the baby.

Virgie Arthur is expected to challenge the ruling. Her lawyer suggested she wants strings attached if Birkhead gets custody.

Howard K. Stern has reportedly admitted he's not the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn and is now willing to sign over the paternity rights to the man who believes he is the baby's real dad, Larry Birkhead — for the right price.

While Howard is listed as the girl's father on the birth certificate, insiders say that, during a recent meeting with Larry, he confessed he's not the dad. While Anna Nicole fought to keep Larry away from Dannielynn while she was alive, Howard let his former lover's rival meet the baby recently.

In exchange for giving Dannielynn to Larry, insiders say Howard wants ongoing control of Anna Nicole's estate. Once all the issues surrounding the estate have been settled, he also wants to become Dannielynn's trustee.

Howard, who's admitted he was financially dependent on Anna Nicole, is also rumoured to be claiming the Bahamas house and the boat the star bought shortly before her death.

Larry Birkhead's lawyer said there will be no negotiating with Howard K. Stern. Debra Opri says the only subject of negotiation is "how fast he [Stern] will produce the child for a DNA test and how quickly he will allow that child to go to California with her real father."

Stern has been asking Birkhead for some involvement in Dannielynn's financial affairs after paternity is established. Now Opri says, "There were never any deals. It was a one-sided discussion."

Opri said she did not want to respond to Stern's overtures until after the funeral.

Larry Birkhead finally met the child he claims is his 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. In their time together, Birkhead fed the baby, burped her – and she threw up on him, according to an interview and profile, part of which was aired on the Today Show Tuesday.

As for how he got his first glimpse of the child that he claims is his, Birkhead said, "They were kind of low-res pictures that [Smith and Stern] sent out to different outlets to see if they were interested in them, and they were so small that I couldn't see. But even in that small form, I knew when I looked at them, I knew. I said, 'She's mine. That's my baby. She looks like me – she is mine.' And there was not a doubt."

Last week, during the court battle for custody of Smith's remains, Birkhead was permitted to visit the mortuary and offer his final goodbye. He said his words to her were "something she made me say every night before she went to sleep... I said, 'Good night, my sweet Anna baby.' "

Of Stern, who claims he is Dannielynn's father and is seeking legal custody of the child, Birkhead says, "I think he is doing what he thinks is best. And I think what I am doing is best."

As for what he one day hopes to tell Danniellyn about her famous mother, Birkhead says, "I just want her to know the good stuff. I want her to know she was a good person, a loving person. She loved kids."
