Larry Birkhead holds up his hands as a sign of victory after a DNA test found that he is the biological father of Anna Nicole Smith' s daughter, Dannielynn in Nassau, Bahamas April 10, 2007.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo) BEIJING, April 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Larry Birkhead, Anna Nicole Smith's former boyfriend and father of her baby, is using his website to set the record straight on issues from gambling to trademark application to setting up a legal defense fund. "It was reported that I was playing $1,500 a hand at the high stakes poker table in the Bahamas," the photographer wrote on his website. "FALSE. I do not even know how to play poker and I wouldn't be playing with money like that in any event." Birkhead also claims he never applied for a trademark for the phrase "Goodnight My Sweet Anna Baby." He writes the trademark form was filed out by someone else on his behalf. "The form was not reviewed or approved by me,¡± he writes. "I am far too busy working on my fight for my daughter Dannielynn, to worry about things like trade marking sayings for use in movies, etc." He insists he'll have the trademark application withdrawn or cancelled. Birkhead also writes he says he hasn't set up a legal defense fund for his daughter. "Someone set up a 'Save Dannielynn¡¯Defense Fund for me (again without my authorization) and some individuals sent in donations before the 'fund¡¯was discovered by me," writes Birkhead, who wrote he demanded the operation be shut down. "Your words of encouragement and support are more than enough." (Agencies)
