Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend has launched a legal battle to try and prove he is the father of her newborn daughter.
Photojournalist Larry Birkhead filed papers on Monday (02.10.06) demanding that she return to California with baby Dannie Lynn who he claims is his.
The legal fight comes a week after the former Playboy Playmate's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, said he was the child's father - claims Birkhead has dismissed as "laughable".
Birkhead said: "I am not surprised he would say this but I am laughing at it.
"There is absolutely no way that Stern is the father of this child. He knows it, I know it and that's all there is to it."
Birkhead is also seeking legal and physical custody of Dannie Lynn.
In a statement, his legal spokeswoman Debra Opri said: "The public will be very surprised when they learn the details of the lifestyle this baby is going to be faced with if she remains in the current situation."
Meanwhile, reports that Anna Nicole has tied the knot with her lawyer have been dismissed.
However, the 'Naked Gun 33 1/3' actress did declare her love for Stern in a special private ceremony onboard a catamaran off Nassau in the Bahamas.
