Dannielynn Paternity Battle Rages

Last night on Larry King Live, attorneys for Larry Birkhead and Howard K Stern, forcefully told Larry King the same old thing that they've been saying for weeks. Nothing much new came to light, but it was interesting to see how dogged Stern's attorney's are that the Bahamian birth certificate means everything.

Here's a few excerpts:

KING: Ron Rale, I'll make a statement. Is it true? No one knows who the father is. No one can really know who the father is until DNAs are taken...

RALE: I think that's a fair statement.

KING: You can say you're the father.

RALE: I think that's a fair statement.

Then Debra Opri, Larry Birkhead's attorney got her say:

OPRI: I want them to do a DNA test. I want that baby produced. I took Howard K. Stern into the Los Angeles jurisdiction and our judge said, under a new case, that man is coming in, because he's held himself out as the father. Neavitt sits here and has the audacity to tell you he's the presumed father under Bahamian law? Bahamian law needs a piece of paper. It doesn't need anything else. I filed in the California jurisdiction so Larry would have standing to go there. That birth certificate isn't worth the paper it's written on.

KING: The same statement for you I gave to them. No one knows who the father is, correct?

OPRI: Larry Birkhead is the father.

So, there you have it. Nothing has been resolved, and nothing is going to be resolved until Stern produces Dannielynn for a DNA test. Sigh.

Dr Perper even showed up at one stage, and no, I have no idea what that lump on his head is.

Tom and Larry Tour The Museum of Death

Larry King says that Tom Cruise gave him a private tour of the Scientology Museum "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death".

In an interview with the Palm Beach Post, King talks about his own bouts with depresion and all the celebrities that he's interviewed who have spoken frankly about their struggles with the disease.

Then there is Tom Cruise.

"I like Tom a lot," King said. But he disagrees with Cruise's stance on psychiatry and antidepressants. After the controversy, in which Cruise questioned Shields' postpartum depression, Cruise gave King a private tour of a Scientology's new museum in Hollywood called Psychiatry: An Industry of Death.

"Their attack on psychiatry is incredible," King said. "They hate psychiatry."

King believes that mental illness is real.
