Or do the hats fight? I get so confused sometimes.

Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead arrived in the United States this morning, with her father, Larry Birkhead, who recently had the baby’s last name legally changed. (Interestingly, he didn’t remove the “Marshall” part of the name — a reference to Anna Nicole’s late billionaire husband, J. Howard Marshall — perhaps to give the little girl a leg up in obtaining some of the Marshall fortune).

After a brief stop in Florida this morning, Dannielynn and Larry continued to Louisville, Larry’s hometown. Larry was reportedly teary-eyed as they said goodbye to the Bahamas, Anna’s final resting place. Dannielynn — can we come up with a nickname for this kid soon? That name is really a hassle to type — was in great spirits and warranted smiles from the customs agents.

Larry Birkhead had his daughter’s name legally changed. You know, it was cool of him to keep everything else the same. To me, it shows that he did (and does) love and respect Anna. New birth certificate viewable here.

I hate that this is the second post about Larry Birkead but here are some photos from his shoot with OK Magazine. I have to say that he and Danni look beautiful together. I guess he and Anna were secretly engaged. No matter what this is a beautiful child and I hope somebody can get over the hype and actually take care of her.

UPDATE: In reference to the National Enquirer stories, Larry tells OK! “Both stories are totally untrue. I understand that’s part of the celebrity game that people will say anything for money. He was a friend of a friend of mine and has a picture of us standing next to each at a party. That’s it. We haven’t spoke since but now that he can some money for the photo he’s making up a story to sell it. As far as having a baby, I’ve never seen any documents saying that I fathered a child before Dannielynn.”

After spending almost two hours in a Bahamian courtroom sans cameras, Larry Birkhead emerged victorious on Tuesday afternoon, as a doctor told the judge that the DNA tests revealed that he was the father of Anna Nicole’s baby, Dannielynn, with “99.9999% certainty.”

When asked about the paternity results, Howard K. Stern, who is currently listed on the birth certificate as Dannielynn’s father, stayed true to his word. “I am obviously very disappointed … I am not going to fight Larry Birkhead for custody. I will do everything I can to make sure he gets sole custody.” Stern and Birkhead hugged after leaving the courtroom, and Stern invited Birkhead to his house, where Dannielynn currently resides, to spend as much time with the baby as he wants.

The only reason Birkhead would not get custody at this point is Anna’s mother, Virgie Arthur, who had no role in this child’s life before Anna’s death, because Anna hated her. I don’t know much about family law, but I have no idea how this kid could possibly go to Arthur when there’s a healthy adult parent who wants her. Arthur’s custody case is expected to be heard on Friday in the same Bahamian court.

We’ll of course keep you posted as the story develops…

Congrats to Larry Birkhead who was just confirmed to be the father of Dannielynn Hope. The Bahamanian court just made their ruling and about 100 tourists and members of the media waited outside in the heat for the ruling.

Larry brought members of his family along with him to hear the good news. Bad news however is that Virgie Arthur is expected to now contest Larry for custody of Anna’s baby.

The drama continues and more updates as they come.

I have no idea why I’m running this story. Maybe because everyone else is running it. It’s like the night before the Oscars, when everyone’s running these “It’s the Night Before the Oscars” stories and it doesn’t really matter because the decisions have been made and are sitting in an envelope at PricewaterhouseCoopers and the only thing that could possibly make the whole mess interesting is if somehow Talladega Nights won Best Picture as a write-in candidate. I think everyone kind of knows Larry Birkhead is the daddy right now. Even Howard K. Stern is starting to backpedal. Personally, I hope something more exciting happens. I hope, like, the Broward County Medical Examiner happened to have, say, Matt Lauer’s DNA on file, and the kid turns out to be his. I want it to be something like that.

Maybe we should liveblog the Dannielynn paternity revealing. Do you think the whole thing will be televised? Probably. Lars, you want this one?

Anyway, we’ll get the results of the DNA testing tomorrow. We’ll keep you posted around here.
