Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter is to have a DNA test to find out who her father is, according to a lawyer for the tragic former Playboy model.

A US Supreme Court justice today denied a motion by Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, to halt the burial of the former Playboy Playmate and take her body to Texas, according to reports tonight.

A three-judge appeals panel in Florida expressed doubts today about burying Anna Nicole Smith in Texas, as her mother wants, but also questioned how the advocate in charge of funeral plans knew the Playboy model intended to be laid to rest in the Bahamas.

Anna Nicole Smith’s mother received permission to see the former Playboy Playmate’s daughter, her lawyer said.

A Florida appeals court today issued a stay in the dispute over Anna Nicole Smith’s body, ruling that her remains cannot be moved to the Bahamas until the court hears a challenge from the starlet’s estranged mother.
