ONSITEDNA DNA Paternity Testing News & Stories

As reported by People Magazine:

Paternity test winner Larry Birkhead (35) is moving out of Los Angeles. The father of the late Anna Nicole Smith’s 21-month-old daughter Dannielynn has bought a 10,000 square foot six-bedroom home in Louisville, Kentucky, his former hometown.

Larry Birkhead, who was confirmed by a DNA Paternity test to be the father of baby Dannielynn after a heated paternity debate between him and Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and companion Howard Stern, spoke to People Magazine about the purchase of the house, telling the magazine that the house is still very much a work in progress, a fact that doesn’t deter him at all.

According to Larry Birkhead, the house, which has never been fully restored has 40-foot ceilings and is
modeled after a Sicilian church. Larry told People that the house, “Looks like a haunted house.” We’re
sure that haunted house feeling is just what Dannielynn needs to feel cozy in her new digs!
Larry Birkhead continued, “When I walked in, I said to myself, ‘This is our home.’”

Larry is hoping that the new house is a fresh start for himself and his young daughter, as the old house
in Los Angeles is filled with memories of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel, both whose lives were
cut tragically short in drug related deaths.

Said Birkhead of the LA home, “At first, I couldn’t imagine parting with it. Then I realized I was
probably holding on to it for the wrong reasons, thinking to myself that would ease the pain of losing
Anna and Daniel. I have always thought that it would be great for Dannielynn to grow up in her
mother’s home; however, there is no yard as it is over a canyon.”

Birkhead concluded, “There also isn’t any little friends for her to run around with – which makes the
idea of Kentucky even more inviting.” We like the idea of Dannielynn having plenty of little friends to
run around with. Hopefully she will enjoy her new home and stay very far away from the sorts of drama
that surrounded the beginning of her life.

As Reported in Chicago Business News Feb 1, 2008:

(Crain’s) — Michael Jordan is suing a Pennsylvania woman who says she was his mistress, asking a court to stop the woman from what he alleges is harassment.

In a complaint filed Wednesday in Pennsylvania’s Crawford County civil court, Mr. Jordan says that in June 2004, Lisa Miceli filed a complaint against Mr. Jordan to establish his paternity to her son, Dante Michael Miceli, and to require the basketball star to provide child support.

“Knowing that there was no basis whatsoever for Miceli’s allegation of paternity, Jordan immediately agreed to genetic testing,” the complaint says.

Tests proved Mr. Jordan is not the father, but Ms. Miceli pursued another genetic test, according to the lawsuit. She and Mr. Jordan then came to an agreement that if the new test confirmed he was not the father, she would drop the case and end any contact with him, the complaint says.

The second test also proved Mr. Jordan did not father the child. The case was withdrawn in July 2005, but court papers say Ms. Miceli violated the agreement by sending nearly 400 e-mails and notes to Mr. Jordan and his representatives, he alleges.

The content of her e-mails, notes and telephone calls “clearly demonstrates that she is seriously disturbed,” says the complaint.

Ms. Miceli publishes a blog in which she writes about what she says was her relationship with Mr. Jordan, detailing phone conversations and lashing out at his representatives.

Neither Mr. Jordan’s attorneys nor Ms. Miceli returned calls.

This isn’t the first time Mr. Jordan has been in court dealing with paternity issues.

An Indianapolis woman in 2003 alleged that Mr. Jordan made financial promises to her when she was pregnant with a child she alleged was his. Paternity tests showed he wasn’t the father.

In December, the Appellate Court of Illinois supported a lower court’s decision that the woman had no grounds to sue Mr. Jordan for money.
