The drama in the Bahamas continues as lawyers for Anna Nicole Smith’s former lovers Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern, 38, apparently enter settlement negotiations, and Smith’s mother prepares to make her case for burying her daughter in Texas.

Birkhead and Stern (among others) both claim to be the father of Smith's 5-month-old daugher, Dannielynn.

To settle the matter, Stern might be willing to take a paternity test – if he hasn’t already, according to TMZ, which also reported that in return, “Stern wants ongoing control of Anna's estate and, once the estate is probated, continued involvement by becoming trustee for Dannielynn.”

One more sign Stern may be softening his grip on the little girl: Birkhead met Dannielynn for the first time today.

When Usmagazine.com caught up with Birkhead in the Bahamas and asked about today's paternity hearing, he told us: "It's great. Anytime you can get a judge to listen to you, you get what you can get."

He declined to talk about his experience seeing his potential offspring.

Meanwhile, Smith’s still unburied body isn’t heading to a grave anytime soon. On Friday, circuit court judge Larry Seidlin ruled that the former Playmate’s body should be buried in the Bahamas, but a ruling by a Florida appeals court Monday means Smith’s body won’t be moved until the court has heard a challenge from Smith’s estranged mother, Virgie Arthur.
