Howard Stern: "Larry Birkhead Has Got His Dates Wrong"  4/1/07

Anna Nicole Smith's longtime companion and lawyer, Howard Stern, has challenged the tragic model's ex-boyfriend over claims he's her daughter's biological father, insisting his dates don't add up.

Filing an appeal in the Bahamas-based DNA battle for paternity of baby Dannielynn, Stern claims his love rival, Larry Birkhead, can't be the father.

In his affidavit, the lawyer reveals Birkhead and Smith's romance ended "well before the preceding 280th day (pregnancy period) from the birth of Dannielynn Howard Marshall Stern."

Stern, who is named as the baby's father on her birth certificate, also insists that, despite claims to the contrary, his late girlfriend never "resided" with Birkhead at his California home.

Stern's appeal will be presented in court on Monday (02APR07).
