Anna Nicole's ex can leave island, court rules

A Bahamian court cleared the way today for Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend to leave with their baby daughter, rejecting an appeal by the mother of the former reality TV star.

The judges ruled that a US court would likely have the final say in the custody dispute between Virgie Arthur and Larry Birkhead, who was confirmed as the seven-month-old baby's father after undergoing DNA testing.
