More Drama From Ana Nicole

Anna Nicole Smith has been given a choice: She can either book a paternity test or a plane ticket. Two weeks after hearing arguments as to why Smith shouldn’t have to submit her daughter for a DNA test just yet, a Los Angeles judge ordered that the reality-TV star either have that test completed by Feb. 21 or else hightail it back to L.A. to explain the delay in person. Larry Birkhead filed a paternity suit against Smith (who has denied having had a romantic relationship with the photograher, while he claims they had a two-and-a-half-year affair) in October, demanding that she have Dannielynn Hope, who was barely a month old at the time, tested to determine whether he or Smith’s lawyer-turned-lover, Howard K. Stern, is the little girl’s father. According to Birkhead’s attorney, Debra Opri, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald Schnider ruled Wednesday that Smith could have the test performed in the Bahamas or in Miami. If Smith fails to comply, Opri said, Schnider will want to see her in court. There was no immediate comment from Smith’s L.A.-based attorney, Ron Rale.
